Nope. It will be very short. SA just moving two pieces of evidence in and they are done.

No closing states will be after the DT puts their case and chief on.
Today after the State rest the Jury will leave then the DT will argue the motion they filed for acquittal. The DT will try to argue that the state didn't meet the burden of proof. The state will also rebut that argument. So stay tuned after the jury leaves today.

Too bad they won't know the SA tried to make it easier for them.
There should be a little excitement today. After the State rests it is almost 100% certain that the Defense will petition for acquittal (it's kind of Standard Operating Procedures). It is also 100% certain the judge will deny the request (as going back over my notes from College I couldn't find one case we studied where it was granted after the State's CIC), but I'm sure JB will give it the old college try in arguing for early acquittal.

Good news for me, since I have five kitty babies I'll be trying to herd back unto my porch all day.
Not as strong as many hoped, but it was still a nice coda that fit in well with their OS. Having the tattoo artist tell the jury about the Bella Vita tattoo.
If I were in the jury I would be severly PO'd after sitting there for 5 min and being dismissed for the day. Especially because I'm sure there are some women on the panel who take a little extra long getting ready in the morning.

Morning all :wave: Love all the "thwart :cupcake: cakes"...hopefully today will be the ultimate "thwart" for the DT.
This DT is doing this for what purpose? Makes no sense making the jury come in and transporting KC and all that for 10 minutes of court. Bet they don't tell the state who they plan to call like the state did for them. CJBP kept shrugging his shoulders when LDB asked, knowing they might not and there's nothing he can do about it.

I think it will be Mason arguing this one..
I hope that's not the case since they should be going to court to hear testimony, not for a fashion show. JMO, though.

And wasn't CM's tone kinda' nasty when he refused JA's suggestion?
i suppose the jurors will think JA just hauled them in for a very short session.
I thought it was unprofessional, but probably has some trickery behind it . . .

What? We're only getting 5 minutes today?
The Jury will only be in about that long. But as someone else pointed out, DT will be arguing for an automatic acquittal, which is standard.
Enjoy the kitties today MK.

Was all this at the end of session yesterday? I try to listen to only what the jury hears, so I guess I missed all that. What happened?
