#AndreaSneiderman judge calling 50 jurors at a time. Questioning together, then individually

I wonder how long it will take.

I wonder how long it will take.

I thought the jurors' questionaire would have taken care of some of those questions since this started out as a murder case, same jurors.

I'm taking my truck into town, damn check engine soon light is on.

Be back soon or at least I hope so.

Mare, knowing how we love Perry, you would love her as well. She is not one to say NO! One of the attorneys was whining and ranting she gave her ruling and got up walked out even though he kept going. Speaking objections are not allowed.

GOOD MONDAY MORNING ALL!!!

Yes, that's Adam Kauman. His wife was Lena and her family supported him. But I think that was even questioned whether the MIL truly believed he didn't to it. (Again...didn't follow the case like I did JA and CA.) When he called 911, after finding her on the bathroom floor, he kept saying she had marks on her neck and "I don't know what they are" or something like that. I just don't think in the trauma of finding your wife unconscious or dead that you'd notice or keep pointing them out and that you don't know what they are. Those marks were key to the trial...did he strangle her or did she hit or neck on the leather magazine rack? So much "evidence", yet the defense effectively explained possible scenarios and created doubt.

Seems like there are a lot of cops and doctors killing their wives. Or maybe that's what makes them interesting cases that we hear about.

Wish I knew about streaming. Still can't really find anything out. I have HLN with Robin Meade on now. OMG, she's the worst. She just said that starting at 1 PM EST they'll be carrying live coverage of the Josh Young trial?

"LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The murder trial for a 17-year-old who is accused of killing his stepbrother is scheduled to begin Monday.
Joshua Young is set to go on trial for the murder of 14-year-old Trey Zwicker.
Zwicker was found dead in a creek behind Liberty High School in May of 2011.
On Friday, Young's father, Joshua Gouker, was sentenced to life in prison for the murder.
Gouker initially told police Joshua Young committed the murder, but later said that Young was not involved.
Prosecutors have not dropped the complicity to murder charge against Young.
We don't know yet if his father will testify during the trial."

Thank, Mare for your thoughts and insight on the AK trial.

I agree with the so many docs and cops killing their wives. I remember watching this OHIO case on Court/Tru TV. Wow, it was just so sad as he was this big shot MD at a big Ohio hospital and he slowly poisoned his wife. Awful. She had such a loving family. He was a philandering moron. Wife never knew what he really was. While everyone saw things they did not like, wife stood by his side.

OMG, ITA about MS MEAD.

Hmm, that Josh Young trial I have heard nothing about. Maybe I will check it out. 1pm = 10am for moi.

Ok, two plus pages, I need to READ BACK!!!!

 

[momrek06]

They have made such a big issue out of this and then to not let people know.

ITA!!!!

Where's Judge Nelson (Zimmerman trial) when we need her?

She was really something, wasn't she!!!!

I remember hearing about her walking out. Maybe it's just because I didn't watch and know nothing about her personality or how she handled everything, but honestly, getting up and walking out sounds juvenile to me for a judge. As much as Judge Perry controlled his court, I couldn't see him doing that; that doesn't sound like taking control if the attorney was ranting and whining, and she made a ruling and he continued, so she just walked out.

Having said that, my opinion of the judge walking out is a prime example of hearing about something, not knowing EVERYTHING, and passing judgement, just like I feel is being done in this and SO many other cases. Maybe if I had watched the GZ trial, liked the judge, and she had done that, I'd feel differently. Maybe not.

Jury selection in the #AndreaSneiderman trial is underway, should take most of the week. Not sure if any of it will be live streamed yet.

She did keep giving the ruling over and over and he wanted to argue. It was already 10 at night. Everything they kept asking for usually ended up with them crying and telling her no. I never saw anyone tell a judge no before.

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

And about judges...I think THE WORST (besides the Anna Nicole Smith judge, Seidlin, because he's tough to top) judge I've seen was in the Adam Kaufman trial. The defense lawyers were both obnoxious, but one of them was downright disrespectful TO THE JUDGE. To witnesses too, but I don't have a problem with that...part of the whole cross-examination. But to the WOMAN judge? It was embarrassing to be a woman watching her let him treat her and talk to her like that! She was a wienie. Ugh.

Then why couldn't she take control of that? Why didn't she hold them in contempt of court or something? This is my ruling, period. But, like I said...didn't watch it. Maybe I'm looking at it too simplistically. But I do believe that would NOT have happened with Judge Perry.

Does that Joshua Young trial start next Monday?

Today, 1 PM EST.

She kept repeating that it was the courts ruling. I don't know why she did not hold him in contempt. She may have been trying to give him the benefit of the doubt as it was so late. I am sure everyone was tired. She said it was her ruling and they would have a motion in the morning. He kept going. So she got up and left.

After listening to that one attorney drone on and on whining, rephrasing the same damn argument over and over, there wasn't any changing her mind; when the judge got up and walked out I almost stood up and applauded!

I'm back, damage ain't too bad a couple hundred bucks for a new something or other.

So we don't have any livestream for jury selection, okay, wonder when they'll start the trial?

Good thing it was only a few hundred. I am trying to look for the live streaming for Joshua Young trial that starts at 7

How many attorneys are actually held in contempt? I don't know what else she could have done. It would have sounded more childish if they would have kept going back and forth.

Watched it on youtube. Based on what I saw, I stand by my statements about the judge walking out. My involvement in the case was extremely limited, so maybe I'd feel differently if I had watched the whole thing, and had the same convictions that GZ was as guilty as Jodi Arias, rather than only watching a clip of what transpired before and when the judge walked out, but I didn't and I don't.
