He Cut Off His Wife's Head and Now He's in Court: Man Admits To Gruesome Murder | Law & Order

That male juror with his arm propping him up looks so hilarious with how incongruous he looked compared to the others.

Jacks entire line of questioning would not be allowed in a real trial

[@sonrouge]

I could be wrong, but somehow, I don't think a murder suspect would be handed a dangerous weapon in court.

[@rmitton2008]

Nor would a prosecutor be allowed to make an argument that the witness was coached on how to testify

[@ShizenCifer-1]

True. Though replicas that are not dangerous can be permitted in certain scenarios.

[@dane4453]

How is his defense attorney not objecting attorney client privilege to this line of questioning?

[@Sellot91]

His defense lawyer failed him. He should have objected on relevance. Even if it got sustained, which it likely would have, his interjection would have given his client a moment to realize what was going on and calm down. Glad we got this moment, though!

[@henrypeters5291]

I think you mean overruled. Which it likely would have given that McCoy's questioning went to motive.

[@TL2354]

Wasn’t in the script

[@blackBrainySmurf]

Failed badly. Object endlessly. He knows his client is a drugged out hothead who is very likely guilty and should've never taken the stand! He should've objected endlessly to just slow things down! Newman was losing his cool at "taking bears"...😂... his attorneys should've stopped it there!

[@deric8]

By then it was too late, because even with the sustaining, in final summation McCoy can use that testimony as direct evidence that he admitted it.

[@CC-si3cr]

I wonder why killers never really know how truly crazy they are.

[@draco84oz]

Because you can’t see your own psychoses from an outside perspective. You don’t do things you think are wrong unless you’re being deliberately malicious - you act based upon how your brain interprets outside stimuli. It’s just that the brain in some people doesn’t work in a particular way, or has grown and developed in a particular way that seems strange to other people. From their perspective, they’re acting completely rationally.

[@rbrucerye]

So much for the right to counsel. I doubt a real judge would allow a prosecutor to ask a defendant anything about what a defense lawyer told their client while preparing for a case.

[@JohnSmith-ct5jd]

True. Attorney/client privilege.

[@sonrouge]

Technically, lawyers aren't allowed to encourage false testimony.

[@jasonkoch3182]

Seems like it's a pretty standard question. And the judge, I believe, could only prevent the question if 1) he/she had ruled on it before the trial started and somebody tried to come through the back door or 2) the defense counsel objected. Neither happened in this case.

[@themermaidstale5008]
