I'm not concerned with an all woman jury. Although, I do think the defense played a fast one challenging the States right to use preemptory strikes. That was probably a plan laid out by that $10k a day jury consultant.
West is trying to get some of the defendant's statements allowed into opening statements. He filed a motion yesterday. But the judge ruled on this a month ago and said *denied* I doubt she will change her mind. What they want is statements that GZ made at the scene about yelling for help, and another statement GZ made about getting beat up. Looks to me like West filed an improper motion. He filed a response, when it should have been a reconsideration.
And, the Expert testimony from Reich and Owen is excluded. Judges order. I say good riddance.
