I'm torn in thinking that 38 witnesses are a bit excessive, but then think: if you had only 2 witnesses per victim it would still be 18, and I feel that is a reasonable amount. Each victim should have a proper amount of witnesses standing for them and telling how their loss has impacted their lives. It is certainly not the prosecutions fault that DR chose to kill 9 people. He would have killed more if he had the chance. So that is his burden to bear: that so many people loved and felt the irreplaceable loss of these victims. And the jury should get a chance to hear them.

Excellent point.

I wonder why the judge didn't tell Roof that he should stand every time the jury comes in and leaves?
Maybe he just didn't notice?

At the least, Bruck should have told him so that the judge wouldn't have to do it... but, anyway ... Or maybe he was told -- it's certainly contempt of court, at the very least... <choke>

His statements are clear and make sense (grammatical, logical, well-written -- not agreeing with them, BTW) -- those aren't the words of someone with intellectual challenges, IMO.
