I despise comments about "prison justice". No matter what a person does, jails and prisons should not be torture chambers where employees and other inmates are allowed to mete out justice any way they see fit. Do not encourage this. Justice has been done at a fair trail and an appropriate legal punishment was dealt. Don't wallow in the hatred lest it swallow you. |
| I am just now watching the testimony from the au pair- is she reading off of a screen in the witness box? she keeps looking at a screen it looks like. am i wrong? |
Maybe if it was your mother, daughter, friend you’d think differently. |
They have a screen there to display exhibits to the witness. During JPM’s testimony the defense was going particularly going through some of the messages from fetlife and telegram. On cross they went through a lot of her jail communications. |
He was 32 with a hard working wife and a baby and he’s doing 2 hour livestreams of basically Roblox. Come on. That’s a child. |
I agree completely that BB is one of the most immature, selfish, disgusting men I have ever seen. That does not mean ALL adult men who still are active in gaming are abnormal. Agree to disagree with you. |
But even when she's being asked unrelated questions- like "where did you park your car" and "why did you call christine's phone first and then brendan's phone second" she looks at the screen to answer as if she is reading off a script. is she allowed to read her pre- prepared responses? or is she likely just avoiding eye contact? |
| I think she was avoiding looking at BB. |
| She was definitely not reading pre written answers. |
Exactly. |
Is this a serious question? They’re not allowed to have pre-written answers. The judge is literally sitting right there and can see her screen. In fact, many times the judge had to tell the defense attorney, the witness cannot see what you’re talking about. |
This thread is about the depraved and brutal murder of two people, Christine Banfield and Joe Ryan, the long twisty road to justice, and the impact on family (including the victim’s child), friends, and community. It seems wildly inappropriate to pop off about people that have a negative opinion about grown men playing video games. Maybe you can start a new thread about this terrible victimization of men. Once again, the murder victims were Joe and Christine. Murder victims. |
Right, that was always my understanding which is why I was asking the question of why she looks down at her screen every time she is answering a question. If you watch her testimony it truly looks like she is reading the screen. No need to be rude! |
| Any guesses whether the judge will adhere to FCPD's recommendation of 10 years minus time served or not? |
