Attorney just keeps digging his grave deeper. 🙄

[@rosshurst5630]

Doesn't mean he's wrong

[@POKERBEAST25]

Everything he said was correct.

[@suzanneroberge494]

Oh my gosh....he doesn't want his examination interrupted by objections?....he's in the WRONG profession.

[@araucariapasquale1]

Hahaha, exactly this.

[@eimyA0419]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@elizabethd8147]

Exactly! He's basically asking that he's allowed to never be challenged, regardless of what he says or does. How many trials has he done? Is this is first rodeo? Because that's not how any trial works. Period.

[@valerierodger]

It’s really simple. Don’t want your examination interrupted by objections.? Keep within the rules of evidence and don’t ask questions that are objectionable.

Wow this attorney thinks very highly of himself. Bordering on being disrespectful towards the judge

[@suicidality2744]

A lawyer's audience isn't the judge. It's the jury.

[@valerierodger]

@@suicidality2744 that’s a completely separate issue. First, there is no jury here; second, whether there is a jury or not respect, must be shown to the court. When you speak to a judge, you are not speaking to an individual you are speaking to the representative of justice.

[@suicidality2744]

@@valerierodger The judge deserves no special treatment. He is completely irrelevant. The lawyer's audience is the jury not the judge.

He only got worse as the day progressed. What attorney in their right mind tells a judge he’s violating attorney client privilege during a colloquy??

[@christine1373]

When an attorney says “the court” they are talking about the judge because the judge is the court. He was accusing the judge of being biased.

[@lisaeaker9064]

Murder is murder in an officers eyes because it’s not up to officers to determine the legal terminology in what type of murder it was which is the courts job

[@Itsjustme115]

She killed this man over Child custody imo as of now.

[@shaoun5876]

My judge tried to force me to take out insurance on myself naming my ex wife as the sole beneficiary I refused and for that refusal I was hit with alimony longer than my short term marriage, and about 330k all together in fines payable to my ex wife. I’m now spending thousands to fix this problem 🤷🏾‍♂️ so yeah killing for custody is allowed

[@valerierodger]

The judge did not appreciate being told he did not appreciate that 😄

[@kittym6071]

She’s doing her best to look pitiful for sure 🙄

[@lynngallagher7456]

Yes, even from the back she’s trying to make herself look small and she doesn’t move a muscle! It’s incredible. I’ve never seen anyone sit so still watch her watch her body language it’s crazy.

I hope you never need one. There are plenty of ethical defence attorneys. Diane Menache comes to mind. Check her out

[@HandbagDiva]

Ironically a lot of defence attorneys are former prosecutors

[@rizzplaysgames2650]

....wait what?

[@cdelane3335]

That is a slap in the face to this judge. He has been very fair. This attorney is ignorant. He tells the judge its not a battered spouse case. Then the next day, he filed a motion to argue she was a battered spouse.

[@Josyeliel]

If you watch at 2x speed the defense lawyer gets 20 years younger

[@my2cents581]

I was thinking about how awful it would be to sit on that jury and have to listen to this at normal speed!

[@Rome__king]

Her attorney thinks he is Brian Steel 😭 sir its levels respectfully

[@1Life2Live007]

Now this is how an organized courthouse does things! Wow what a difference between this and the YSL trial! Just wow. Omg! This defense attorney wouldn’t last 5mins in judge Glanvilles courtroom. Lol Why would the defense not be able to cross on the detective? I’ve seen some where seasoned detectives make their own opinions as soon as they see a scene. But why can’t defense question him?

[@mauiswift6391]

Oh boy.

[@timb7775]

Not you too? Maybe this trial isn't for you.

[@Doppe1ganger]

The justice system has a bias against woman? Haha Hahaha

[@BoxerClover]

not one woman ... womEn.

[@winniethepoohandeeyore2]

IKR, Isn't this insane? If anything they are biased against men

[@laurasalo6160]

The claim then is even more ludicrous. Regardless of actions/ behavior, society is overtly (shamelessly) biased IN FAVOR of protecting and defending women, as well as justifying what women do- ESPECIALLY THE COURT. An inordinate amount of time, resources and emotion is put toward this effort.

[@ViennaGordon]

Please who is Ms.Benefields Attorney?-he is the real deal

[@RickMcCargar]

Women get lower sentences, and are frequently not charged the same way as men.
