Dec 9, 1999 Trial Transcript, alt

I wanted to put together some of my notes from reading through the transcripts - and motivate myself to read them again (and some parts for the first time), so I thought I'd start with the Dec 9 script, and share the wealth with the community:

• Page 1-133 - Jury Selection

• Page 21 - Juror has a son who was wrongly convicted of murder

• Page 45 - Prosecutor Murphy's father in law (to-be) was selected for the jury

• Page 68 - Juror 280 heard something about AS & Hae's relationship "it was wild, it didn't make any sense"

• Page 88 - Juror 339 calls CG a pitbull on the leg of society. Judge responds that he should see his chewed pant-leg.

• Page 105 - a Physics Teacher, a Rocket Scientist, or a Brain Surgeon?

• Page 133-138 - Urick's opening

• Page 138-154 - CG's opening

• Page 146 - CG says Hae referred to her mom's boyfriend as her dad

• Page 147 - Bilal buys AS the cell phone because AS is not 18

• Page 149 - Adnan was a virgin before Hae

• Page 150 - CG says Hae was jealous

• Page 151 - Adnan's alibi: school, track, mosque.

• Page 153 - CG says Jay borrowed AS's car before 1/13

Overall impression:

Especially during jury selection it seems that the judge was a bit of a joker. Gutierrez went long on her opening and focused a lot on explaining AS's religion and heritage.

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