JJ Trial

This case was tried because JJ is a student-athlete at the University of Montana.

Period.

And THAT is the only crime committed here.

Yep....most other students would have been stuck with a public defender who would advise a plea bargain. ;)

And there it is again. We constantly read on this board that JJ's family has suffered great financial loss in paying for this case. If he didn't want to pay, he could have gotten a public defender, just like every other Griz athlete . . . wait a minute.
 
Punch, shockingly we agree that the state was screwed either way, and that they had to try SOME case. But I will contend -- you may choose to agree or disagree -- that THIS case was tried because it was high-profile and because Jordy was a football player. They could have tried any number of alleged sexual assault cases, and I'm sure many of them had more merit. They chose this one for one reason: the defendant.

That's wrong, and even you have to admit it.

Let's wait on that until the jury comes back. If they're back within a short period of time with an acquittal, then I would completely agree with you. If it takes the jury days to deliberate and it comes back as a hung jury, then I don't think either of us would be right. If he comes back guilty, then despite my shock, it wouldn't be so wrong anymore.

CB agrees no DNA test on blanket because there was no issue identifying people who had sex on it.#johnsontrial

My god, why didn't they bring in the bed, remnants of the post-sex snack she ate, the roommate's video game controller and a few of the other roommate's guns? These items have the same value as evidence of rape.
 
For brevity sake, I will not post in this thread anymore. I will simply pre-concur with what JBS and Griz2k say as I agree with every post they have made in this thread...wise folk! Don't let me down. And I will also pre-disagree with JP, argh, NWF, tnt, Spokanevictim, and defense attorney, Dork (sp).
 
Hey. I have an idea. Why doesn't some one start a thread where people could post information about what's going on in JJ's trial?

Stay the course, tnt!!!! :thumb:

This is the first of its kind it seems for everyone's persepctive and thoughts to be so readily apparent. It gives new power to the word hearsay, though, in that the text of the exchanges can be communicated, but the viewer's perception of the witnesses, the jury, and attorneys cannot be totally captured by Twitter. There is feel and a rhythm to the court room. There are facial expressions that can be interpreted in more than one way, anger than can be felt by either party and a tension that cannot be communicated via text on twitter.
 
Interesting that the state is calling Jordan's roommate and best friend Alex Bienemann as a witness. It doesn't appear to be going well for the defense with this witness at least so far and at least according to twitter.

Compare and contrast it with what you get from one reporter sitting there in the courtroom.
