i still can’t get the obtusity of the defense starting out by insulting the intelligence of the jury with that stupid knock knock joke. how are you gonna get on their good side with lines like that?

Juror B29 got it and thought it was funny.

Agreed! It was so horribly delivered also that the cringe level was sky high!

Knock knock joke stupid all right, but if the jurors are swayed by that to a guilty verdict, when they otherwise would have opted for not guilty, will mean they are more stupid than the joke.

[longtermmemmory]

it was a lame effort for the defense to show the state wanted them BECAUSE they were ignorant and uninformed.

The good news is that openings and closings do NOT win cases. Pretrial motions do.

After all this, I would like to see a PROSECUTION PAYS clause to the rules of criminal procedure. Political trials should come at a monetary cost for the state. Perhaps a trebble damages clause when a special (political) prosecutor is appointed.

And the joke kind of mocked the jury(hard to get Florida people so ignorant that they never heard of George Zimmerman). What an idiot.
