I've been working on trying to get all my trial notes up on the blog and procrastinated correcting the word. It's fixed now. <BR/><BR/>I might go to bed soon, and put the new entry up half finished since I have a client at 9:30 am.Sprockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837416113512618694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-50591339384546867202008-10-24T23:02:00.000-07:002008-10-24T23:02:00.000-07:00Peremptory challenges, doll, not "exemplary".

Peremptory meaning arbitrary, without having to give a reason, kind of like the queen yelling "off with his head". <BR/><BR/>My background guarantees that no defense attorney will ever seat me, but I always take great satisfaction in forcing them to use up a peremptory to get rid of me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-87684049528397063622008-10-24T11:12:00.000-07:002008-10-24T11:12:00.000-07:00LUV YA SPROCKET!!!!!Would also be interested in yo...LUV YA SPROCKET!!!!!Would also be interested in your "gut felings" on all the people involved since we cannot actually see what you are seeing.

When I came in Thursday afternoon, several of the panel who were alternates when I left are now part of seated jurors.<BR/><BR/>Many of the 1-12 I did not hear them answer the attorneys questions. I'm still kinda bummed I missed that much of jury selection because it is such an important part of the trial.<BR/><BR/>As we saw in round one, the trial can be won or lost just on jury selection.<BR/><BR/>I should also note this. I am also not sitting as close to the jury as I was during the first trial. I am sitting in the farthest away seat from the jury there is. Back against the wall, right beside the inner courtroom doors. <BR/><BR/>Often times, the bailiff has not gotten up to close these doors, after they have been locked in the open position so the jury can quickly enter the courtroom. Any noise from the 9th floor hallway that might seep in from the outer set of doors makes it harder for me to hear.<BR/><BR/>I also doubt that I will be able to keep up this level of detail for long if I am going to report on the trial every day, so please be aware of that.Sprockethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837416113512618694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-24088861682869301072008-10-24T08:09:00.000-07:002008-10-24T08:09:00.000-07:00So glad you are doing this and I love the way you ...So glad you are doing this and I love the way you write! Wondering about your opinion of this jury so far. From some of your earlier notes I'm concerned about whether some of this jury is capable of understanding the importance and weight of circumstantial evidence. They just could not seem to grasp it! I hope I am wrong about that.snowbird01https://www.blogger.com/profile/14087910526072992520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-70707339908662502492008-10-24T07:23:00.000-07:002008-10-24T07:23:00.000-07:00Thank you Sprocket for the great update.
