It seems to be the literal definition of the peanut gallery. They keep shouting "object" like they are in the court room.
You would think the kinda profession that puts "I'm not your lawyer" at the top of their blog post would know better than to run the equivalent of a Twitch react stream. If this is the grand future the grandparent had in mind, I want no part of it.
- LegitShady 5y agothey're yelling that in criticism of the defense lawyer richards, actually, not 'as if they were his lawyer'. This is the last day of this trial and criticism of his lack of objections has been a big part of their coverage over the last week+. It's allowed the prosecutor to enter a lot of evidence without anyone to qualify it or attest to it because the defense just didn't object, which matters in jury decision and would matter on an appeal. There are points of argument about the type of bullet (hollow point vs metal jacket), and edited video that should never have been considered given the person who made it showed they didn't understand the underlying change or ever compared it to the original video, etc.
- zthrowaway 5y agoI’ve learned a lot about the court system and how this entire process works. I feel like I know way more about the lawyer profession as well. They’ve provided a lot more than a simple peanut gallery. This is a great future. You get an inside peek into thoughts of lawyers in real time as a trial unfolds rather than getting it condensed down from a newspaper that may not give the real story. Pretty awesome.
