  • First off I’d like to say that I’m heartbroken for the Jean family. As a parent myself, I hope Mr. Jean’s father and mother find some peace in the outcome. They appear to be a wonderful family that ra

I'm sorry, but what a roving band of misfits this is.

Yea... really not sure why they brought her on the stand, the detective. got nothing from that. 

I kinda wondered what Charlie Harper's housekeeper has been up to.

That guy is SWAT? doesn't look very intimating. 

WTF does the Dallas cop shootings have to do with anything?

I think these witnesses are hurting her cause. I'm hearing nothing that makes me feel any kind of sympathy for her.

oooh state is crossing Macpherson.

 

sidebar after an objection. after discussing text messages the squad group would send to each other. 

 

 

I only felt sorry for her mom, but I don't think what she said will have any sway. Not a one of them helped her cause.

This would be a good time for the defense to call to the stand the hoards of other people who accidentally shot their neighbors dead.  

I assume they will break for lunch soon and then come back and deliberate on the sentence and we will get that later this afternoon.

Is that a fair assumption?

He’s not geared for war right now 

Commentators brought up a point that very few (none ???) of the witnesses have mentioned any apology to the family of Bo.   I don't think Amber did during her testimony.  Will Amber testify during this phase?

She did.  During a blubbering explosion, she apologized.

Serious question...What would she say at this point? She already did herself in on the stand by admitting intention to kill and to top it off, hearing noises before entering. Her texts/social media content is now being seen. Those crocodile tears won't do any good now. She does not come off sympathetic to a jury. And not to mention her sexting a married man leading to this shooting. Her on the stand just adds gasoline to this fire.

As the former judge said on commentary, it would likely be a HORRIBLE idea. The state will rip her apart no matter what for the texts and social media stuff. 

No apology will make up for the damage they would do to her on the stand again. 

There ya go... Brenda Sales, her best friend,  just said sorry to the family for her.

This lady looks like Paula Deen in blackface.

Don't kill anyone... that's not gonna look good to the jury...

It's a nice story of helping a crackhead but.. did she help her get into the program or anything? 

If all she did was give her a ticket instead of arresting her, well.. it's something but. not much. 

 

Sidebar... attorneys laughing. 

Lunch break

 

Back in session at 1:30

Not sure what it says that BY FAR the defense's most effective character witness was a recovering crackhead that Guyger talked to once during a drug bust.  If I'm the jury, I'm asking why this lady was better able to sell Amber's character than all of her best friends and family.

You know that thing people do when they answer questions like this sarcastically and replace all of the "S"'s in their response with dollar signs? This is similar but I am not sure how to replace the "S"'s with something that would imply it is because she is black.

Quite telling.  3 or 4 more of these and I could almost believe she would be worth some sympathy

It says her friends and family know her better. 

She just got slapped by the reality that she is NOT above the law, like most cops think they are. Hopefully this will send a wide-reaching message

She gets the option to address the courtroom right before the sentence is handed down, correct?

Is the state pushing for the max of 99 years?
 


Each side will speak for about 20 mins. They are about to start.

Popcorn ready for the defense.

That's pretty much what they've got at this point, right? "Have pity on her, she's a moron"

She seems all kinds of personally fucked up.  I'm surprised her and I have never had sex and a terrible short term relationship.

Defense had nothing bombshell.. of course. State has 11 more minutes.

That was exactly the sentiment between the racist callers on the radio.  'You can't blame her, she's dumb.'

A lawyer came on and actually said it was a 'Justifiable Homicide', because she had no idea where she was.

The "have pity on her because she's a COP and they are going to put her in PRISON" strategy was bold. 

Interesting. That's true. State is discrediting sudden passion and defense objects since he never mentioned it. Overuled because it was mentioned in the documents.

It's a pity you're not.....SEX COP.

Dig, she may be a murderer and homewrecker, but even she has standards ...

If any of you experts happened to see/hear it, could the Prosecution bringing up "sudden passion" during sentencing closing be an issue? Sounds like it was in the charge, but Defense was upset because they did not mention it.

Side note: Kudos and a thank you to all the contributors on this thread--lots of useful information the past few days...
