OH v. Joshua Aide Trial: Prosecution Opening Statement

[@girlfromsouth214]

Who cares if a DA reads during her opening statement. This is a courtroom, not a theater.

[@francelinamommyof3204]

Is this a school project or a trial? Who reads opening statements? I came here to see an open statement instead I found this. Thought I’ve seen in all in the courtroom. And that mask was NOT necessary lady. Wow 😳

[@maryb6672]

Everyone complaining about the opening needs to understand something.. Trials like this are often given to inexperienced prosecutors. Why? Because it’s a slam dunk case. It’s perfect training grounds for prosecutors that lack trial exp. Keep in mind, trials are actually a rarity. By far the vast majority of all convictions are the result of pleas. So, a slam dunk murder trial= inexperienced prosecutor. Another few trials under her belt & we won’t see her reading opening statements.

EXACTLY the facts just speak for themselves, no showmanship or emotional manipulation needed

[@laura155]

Thank you Mary. I don't care HoW it happens but that he's convicted and she does her job.

[@MandaFandaa]

Okay so did the original prosecutor call in sick for the day or? I’m so confused why she’s reading an opening statement. First time for everything I guess.

[@user-xl4pb5wo1g]

He was so angry cause they fix his car , sad what ended up happening…. This guy needs to be locked away for Life

[@chickpeapasta]

Why is the title OH v Aide and not WI v Aide?

[@littlecup55]

i know right

[@LizLaenger]

Who reads the opening statement? I would have a hard time staying focused on details.

[@toxicorchid3932]

Exactly I found my mind wandering with that slow monotone. Ugh. .

[@andresking6220]

Pro trick: watch movies on flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies recently.

[@maxlennon5564]

@Andres King Definitely, been watching on flixzone for years myself :D

[@toxicorchid3932]

Too bad the prosecution opening Statement was read. It's not like this case is especially complicated. Dunno to me it just makes me think the prosecutor was not ready.

[@timanderson6896]

totally. seems like an easy case.

[@dcher3868]

100%! Lawyering 101. Don’t ever read your opening or closing. TERRIBLE JOB.

[@toxicorchid3932]

@@dcher3868 I'm not familiar with this lawyer, but her reading it had me thinking she's just out of law school. Her opening could have been been more impactful and more passionate had she not read it.

[@susanl8478]

She was keeping it simple and without any theatrics. We are too married to the idea that these things have to be dramatic ... she kept it clear and concise!!!

[@silvergirljc]

Please take your masks off. This is discrimination against lip readers.

[@SweetPea112]

CC looks good, though.

[@ErikS-]

I am not impressed by the prosecutor, What prosecutor reads an opening from paper?! It also sounds robotized. She couldnt keep my attention at all. This is a signal of incompetence imo! Doesnt promise a lot...

[@angogablogian2168]

One who is trying to gain experience. Where did you go to law school?

[@BobbiGrace]

Why does this say Ohio v. Joshua Aide? I thought Wisconsin was prosecuting him?

[@ashdixon945]

Was thinking the same thing

[@lisawhite4698]

I believe the defendant lives is WI. However, he drove to Rebecca’s home in Ohio where he shot them.

[@kellypope782]

Why is the called OH v ... not WI v ...

[@TheStruggl]

I am appalled by this prosecutor !

[@Nowlflr]

I am appalled by this comment!

[@tankgirl3828]

That judge is buff! 😮

[@christina3478]

Lol i knowwwww! I thought that was a witness and was so confused as to why they had a witness on the stand when it says opening statement.

[@NYSESTRA]

Too many advertisements. Continuously breaking continuity makes it basically unwatchable.

[@jillboelman5743]

John Miller? It’s Joshua Miller per the news article 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@conniemiller835]

Crazy Mask omfg.....the prosecutors mask almost covers her whole face, may as well put on a bellaclava geeeeezzzzzz ...getting stupid..And why does the Judge have a mask on no one is at all near him..

[@toasted_.coconut]

I can tell by your comment you don't wash your hands after using the public restroom.

I promise it’s okay lol. It’s a mask Connie.

[@justbystander770]

Well not much power it’s like she’s reading a story book for kids.

[@brianbadonde9251]

She's an assistant DA, this is like training for her

[@katerilevasseur8119]

👀😳🥴🙄👀 0.24 seconds in and already I know it's not possible for me to watch this Trial. This 👩🏼‍🏫Kindergarten Teacher👩🏻‍🏫 wannabe Lawyer is making it IMPOSSIBLE for me to do so! 👁👁Notice how she's holding that mic🎤 like she's 🎭performing🎭 at a 2nd Grade Talent Show 😆 ........

[@timanderson6896]

why did this thing even go to trial? what is the defense?

[@erjatikka3029]

Self-defense

[@eilandwaynette]

I figured self defense ...

[@christi9815]

Where is the chat?

[@floppyjan5116]

OMG Prosecutor's mask!

[@fridazzy3871]

I saw several of this in 2020 to 2022. Has nothing to do with the case.

[@shondawarren3673]

So silly to have mask on! I'm over this nonsense.

[@MandaFandaa]

It’s just a mask Shonda. It’ll be okay. Instead, have concern about the fact that the prosecutor is literally reading the opening statement.

[@jeremyhobbs4538]

This is a dangerous opening. Yes she does a good job of taking abd reading but if you have no passion when you do it, no conveyed interest in the facts of your case, why would or should the jury care?? Not saying she should have gotten up there angrily but there is a way to form the opening to make it persuasive, to give it a story like quality to capture the jury's attention

[@fridazzy3871]

Is it the style of prosecutions DA you are not good with? ‘Dangerous opening’? It is not a theatre, even though it seems like that some time. I like her. Perhaps she is not very experienced.

[@cheech41]

The judge should have a tie on. Not professional

[@ypschwartzy2765]

Lol, who gives 2 phucks whether the judge is wearing a tie? The defendant is wearing a tie. Is he professional?

[@cheech41]

Actually yes it does. It sets an example for the jurors

[@ypschwartzy2765]

@@cheech41 It’s awesome you can speak for the 12 people you don’t even know as to how they are feeling. Sounds like you judge a book by its cover. Nice try though.
