Hi all!
Forgot to get here earlier. Oh well, at least I'm here.
 
The best part of the Defense's case will be watching Orman and Brauchler cross examine the witnesses. Particularly Orman as he can get a tad testy.:happydance:
 
Have you seen this?!

Defense asking that the instruction reference CMHIP, where gunman would be committed if found NGRI
Makes it clear that the court makes the final determination that someone found NGRI can be released


Judge doesn't believe he has the authority to change this, but also doesn't share the concerns expressed by defense
Judge explaining how the jury was already taught this information


Judge says this is the only instruction for informational purposes only that he is aware of
Spengler alludes to the video they're going to show of the defendant in jail falling
Defense argues that the standard instruction doesn't "convey just how difficult it is and what the procedures are for someone to be released from custody following a finding of NGRI


Defense version was titled "informational instruction on commitment procedure"
Next is #19: "Informational instruction" about NGRI commitment of defendant
Judge is going to think on the defense 2nd paragraph for this instruction. no ruling today
Next is instruction #18, which he says he's already given to the jury. It is the affirmative defense of insanity's description of "distinguishing right from wrong
Judge will include paragraphs included in the law, but not the redundant ones the prosecution objected to
Prosecution arguing the defense additions are redundant
Nelson: "This case is about mental state so we think it is important to highlight for the jury that they can consider mental state
Defense says they've added paragraph reminding the jury that the prosecution must "disprove" their insanity argument Phil Tenser

#TheaterShooting debate between counsels, judge on jury deliberation instructions has concluded. If you missed it, you didn't miss much.
 
I'm quite a bit behind. Are they done already?

All done got today. See everyone in court tomorrow.
 
Judge says he's avoided defining "complaint" which is the listed charges
Orman wants to discuss muddle (sp?) instruction. (I'm Not sure what that means)
Orman also adjusts "reckless manslaughter" to "manslaughter" to match with state law
Orman brings up wanting to know when they can call witnesses for a rebuttal case
Orman says they have at least 1 witness for rebuttal: Dr. Phillip Resnick
Samour also says it would help to know their estimated end date, so they could have another jury instruction hearing
minutes ago

Dr. Resnick is someone the prosecution says will rebut testimony of a defense doctor
Goodbye everyone. See you tomorrow Phil Tenser 7 news
