After a few hours of frustrating searches for a live stream, I found this link which seems to work much better than any others: http://courtchatter.tv/mazzaglia.htm

Isn't she the woman MM had an affair with and to whom he allegedly admitted to killing other people?

I read an article stating that the judge was considering whether to allow evidence that Alexis had been diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder.

Renee Zellweger is who she reminds me of.

I find that "thetawnidilly" channel on youtube usually posts within an hour or so of the testimony. Other good channels are "croakerqueen123" and "ladyjustice2188" for those of us who can't always watch live.

The judge seems to want to keep this trial moving; I read a couple of articles stating he said a jury will be selected in time to start testimony tomorrow.

You are correct. I HOPE the jury has been listening as carefully as we have! If so, this closing (and State's opening) will backfire.

It's interesting to me how "very, very, very concerned" JN is about alleged violations of rule of sequestration by defense, but didn't seemed concerned at all about proven discovery violation by the state (re TM's deleted cell phone data).

I was assuming he's a bodyguard. He seems to walk in and out of court with GZ.

Most states have "standard jury instructions" for issues of law that come up repeatedly. Lawyers can argue to modify the standard instructions or propose new instructions depending on the facts/law of each case.

Yes -- in my experience, it's part of jury instructions read by the court.
