I’ve never watched a trial from beginning to end before, but today I got my chance. It’s a pretty good one so far, I guess, though it will probably go most of tomorrow, too. It was just one case, so I don’t have a random cache of quotes like Jacob gets. I did get this for Least Necessary Question of a Witness:
Prosecuting attorney: You said it was about 1:56 when this happened, so was it dark that night?
Witness: Yes, it was.
I also had a woman sitting next to me comment that the Taser Cam video looked like a sonogram, and this came up while watching the video:
Prosecuting attorney: Is that your stomache we’re seeing in this scene?
Witness: Yes, unfortunately, it is.
The two people I saw arrested for DUIs Friday night were waiting for their turn in court, but I didn’t make a point to reintroduce myself.
