ICA passing a note to JB
Trying to get him jealous, it read: "I totally hit that"
ICA passing a note to JB
HHJP: it is a process of weighing and the weighing is up to you.
yes
HHJP: any hesitation or reservation in my giving you the law?
no
JA: in responding to types of murder you said, heinous, what do you mean?
cutting up, cruel and unusual.
JA: some of what you said in defining heinous may be right and some not. what ever preconcived notion you have you have no issue with doing what law/judge instructs?
not at all.
JA: ever follow a case?
OJ Simpson
JA: any other case? execution that was schedualed?
no. never had a real strong opinion either way.
JA: do you have a particular crime where death would be the presumed punishment?
a serial murder where more people that are involved. people that have killed over and over again.
yes.
JA: you would have to listen to everything before decide.
possibly a mental condition would cause me...
JA: okay mitigating factors...
yes.
JA: thank you.
I may be wrong and will try and find the tape of it....but, when JA said the state would challenge on the lady PJ, before he said why, CM popped up and told the judge that the lady was AA. HHJP said we all know that. JA then based his challenge on this lady saying she can't judge people. NOTHING was said about race except by CM!! JA brought up another reason for the challenge, HHJP bit his head off and that was that. JA will, no doubt, use one of the strikes to get rid of her. I hope he does.

Wonder if Sims just discovered our thread on Rosalie in this forum and went into panic mode? :great:
Far be it from me to agree with the media pundits, but this is the first time I have ever questioned HHJP. He needs to lighten up. One more week is not going to hurt anything at this point.
To me, lots has happened. JA used one of his peremptory challenges on a lady who sounded confused at best to me. It was objected to by JB as racially motivated and his objection was sustained. I am very worried about this lady and that she will cause a hung jury. She seems incapable of understanding basic questions, let alone complex expert testimony and she doesn't like to judge people.
Not to beat a dead horse, but I tend to hope her answer about judging people from what others say was representative of her life experiences, like not believing in gossip.
Of course JA is looking at all answers from a legal standpoint, where this lady can only speak from her own experiences.
This may be a tempest in a teapot.
REMINDER
This thread will close at 5:00 PM EDT. There is an evening thread ready to go:
Jury Evening Session
I'm sure he does. But if you watch that exchange he revealed his own bias very clearly. I have admired him since we first saw him, but I think we saw a weakness there and it offended JA (and me). I am very anti-racist people, but it's not good to have an AA on the Jury just to be 'fair' if that particular person is one that does not seem to be able to grasp the simplest of theories.
If 11 of the Jurors were AA that would be fine with me, but if they then put a dumb white person on the Jury to ensure diversity I would be just as annoyed.
