That's really great! Congratulations!!! They'll love him in prison... I mean, they're REALLY going to LOVE him in prison, especially when they find out what he did to a young girl.
Do trials like this normally move that quickly? I guess the defense had nothing...
I hope he learns what it feels like to be on the receiving end.
Yeah, trials don't take as long as they do on TV normally. A rape trial like this was basically 5 witnesses. One neighbor, the victim, the detective, the nurse that took the rape kit evidence, and the DNA person from the lab. Took me a day and a half to strike the jury, and put on all my evidence. DNA takes the longest...took me all morning yesterday morning to get that done.
No, the defense had nothing, and he knew it, but he also had nothing to lose by trying it...the guy's getting life when he gets sentenced.
Dont know how I forgot to mention it...this was a little source of humor and good cheer for me in this otherwise horrible trial. The perp wore a white bammer hat in his police interview that I had on DVD, and yesterday on lunch break (he was out on bond) I saw the perp at McDonalds wearing his brand new crimson NC hat. Maybe one of those boys down at Kilby will yell "it's rollin' baby, it's rollin'" as they break him down like a double barrelled shotgun.
