The problem occurred when the prosecution started picking up AK-47s and AR-15s and swinging them around the room pointed randomly at people – unintentionally. The careless handling of the weapons caught the eye of the Judge who stopped the prosecution and made sure the weapons were unloaded and secured. [More]That had to make an impression on the jury. I hope the defense points out store handling practices, simply to establish comparative credibility.

ReplyDeleteThen I realized, sadly, that it is not at all unbelievable, or even especially astonishing.
The surprise (a pleasant one) is that the judge stopped it.
