Morning session 10 am: The jury has a question. Also, today's sartorial splendor report: Defense attorney Philip Cohen is wearing a lovely if understated ensemble today, with sky blue suit, brown vest, and yellow tie. Judge Olmedo, in regards to Cohen's getup: "I don't think I've seen this combo before."
Will the JD’s be brought into the courtroom when the Jury reads the guilty verdict? Are they also waiting at the courthouse? Excuse my ignorance, I just imagine them waiting and I wish we could send them loving vibes.
Every time I read or re-read Cohen's questions I get more offended. It's the very idea that a victim of rape would feel exactly the same every time she's questioned. Were you crying this time, were you crying that time, were you shaking or not, did you say "yes" or "what," did you say "no" or "no no no," all of it just seems so abusive. (I know the argument is that he's just doing his job, and I can't help but have my opinion colored by years of watching SVU, where defense attorneys are always the enemy!)
I cannot believe the amount of trauma survivors of sexual assault are put through by the so-called justice system in order to hold abusers accountable. Nice to see the letter of support for Amber Heard today reported in the media. The amount of abuse hurled at Amber and her supporters by members of the Johnny Depp Fan Club Cult is horrifying.

I watched the OJ trial and thought he was guilty as hell. But not the jury. You just never know what a jury is going to do.
