• Page 127 – Judge says “So you just remembered that you were shot and you just remembered that that would stop you from being a good witness. Did you remember anything else yesterday?”, then dismisses the juror.

Overall impression: Dec 10 seemed fairly dry with a couple exceptions, e.g. CG calling Urick a... jerk. The crosses didn't seem to add a lot of value, but these witnesses were generally providing circumstantial evidence - it may not need to be handled like an eyewitness would be pressed by the defense.

Let me know if there's anything else that you found interesting or funny, along with a page number. Thanks!
