Ok, so that is what I remember, the hate crime designation was due to the sexual orientation and not Blaze being Jewish. So the Court would be correct to limit assertions to the victim's religious affiliation, as crazy as that sounds. In today's hyper charged atmosphere, that probably isn't...

I thought the Santa Fe DA had handed this case over to the appointed special prosecutors. But she is still calling the shots and hiring additional staff? I am perplexed by this procedurally.

Has the prosecution alleged alleged that Blaze was targeted because he was Jewish? Honestly it has been so long since this was charged I've lost some of this. What exactly are the charges at this point?

I don't think there is any way he would accept a plea deal now, knowing it was that close to an acquittal.

Just to follow up on this question, no, jurors do not have to talk to anyone after a trial. Typically at the end of a jury trial, the judge will call them in, thank them for their service, advise them that if they have any employer issues etc to contact the court and then advise them that they...

I see the Carr brothers are back in Court today to argue for re-sentencing. Unbelievable.

There can be several reasons. First, understand that she is a party to the matter, she has a right to be there. Second, and more practical is to assist. Dennis was taking the deposition of her ex-husband's mother. As I often tell myself and our new attorneys, "no one knows the case better...

Is there any real evidence that Israel has conducted a strike as opposed to Iranian military just getting jumpy and firing anti aircraft missiles that landed causing the explosions?

I do find that a bit interesting that Houston asked that AP not be there. I haven't been able to figure that out really.

just to clarify, a law office is typically where a deposition is held. If I am taking someone's deposition. 9 times out of 10 it will be in my office conference room. So the location doesn't really mean much.

Under federal law, muzzleloaders are considered antique guns and excepted from the definition of "firearm" prohibited to felons. So she could have a muzzleloader, at least under federal law. I'm not sure if some states restrict that or not.

Yes that would be prohibited. She is prohibited from handling a fire arm, owning one, or even living in a residence where she has access to firearms. So she would not allowed to go to a gun range and shoot someone else's gun.

That poor woman. She had no idea what he was talking about. She must have been terrified.

I agree. She participated in the rape and murder of her own little sister. And to think about Mr. French, his daughter murdered, taken from him. And knowing that one of her killers is free and living her life. It is not fair.
