The Jury in the Durst Trial began deliberations today a noon PT/ 3 ET. I think this was probably the most ridiculously drawn out trial I have ever seen. I would not be shocked if we get a verdict today. However, there is always a lot of ridiculous paperwork to get through, so tomorrow is […]
Sidebar: California v. Robert Durst
Where are all my trial watchers? Just yesterday I discovered that the Robert Durst trial is live on Court TV. I’ve missed most of it. However Durst is on the stand and is currently being grilled by the prosecutor. I had it on all day yesterday and he asks the same question 47 times about […]

Derek Chauvin Trial: Closing Arguments And Verdict Watch!
Well boys and squirrels, the judge is reading the jury instructions to the jury. And since I just woke up, it is kind of putting me to sleep. His measured tone is kind of like a lullaby. I am hoping for a verdict today, but that is probably unlikely. The jury is being sequestered and […]

I thought we might need a new thread for discussion. Just when I think the prosecution makes some good progress, they go right back to their repetitive mind-numbing behaviors. They began on day one introducing a lot of significant footage. Then they called everyone they could possible find who was a bystander and dragged them […]

Sidebar: The Trial Of Derek Chauvin Is A HOT MESS!
Today was a no good, horrible, very bad day. I was unable to watch jury selection today. However, I do know that things are a complete and total clusterfuck.

Making A Murderer’s Brendan Dassey Set to Be Released From Prison
The Netflix “documentary” Making a Murderer set out to make it appear that Steven Avery was wrongfully convicted of a murder in a small town after previously being wrongfully convicted of rape.
