and may I say that the judge did the defense a favor by giving the defense the last word of the day, and two powerful witnesses...the uncle was great and honest....that is the weekend, not Martin’s Mom....
The jury did that. They were given the choice and chose to continue.
No credit to the judge. She wants this train to run on time, to the point of more or less demanding on Wednesday that the Defense knock off all its annoying “questioning of witnesses” stuff so that the Prosecution could bring TrayMom to the stand to run out the clock with sympathetic, emotional testimony.
