Interesting. We could take notes. Of course, in our case, it was pointless. The defense couldn't even keep track of all the players, and he had notes. Oh, and the witnesses kept changing their stories. I thought the prosecutor was going to cry. I still don't know why it went to trial.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I forgot to say, I asked the judge why we couldn't take notes. She said it was because if one or two people take notes, then the other people could rely on those people for their interpretation of events.
The many horrors of the case aside, this just makes my head explode. If I don't take notes, I have no interpretation of events. Or memory of them. And they'd rather have that?

I actually had an easier time than I anticipated. We also could have asked questions, if we had any. But really, they had a DNA match, and the woman identified him. And in the second part, they had fingerprints and two or three more people who identified him.

If ever you see this guy in a fic/book somewhere, check for my name, then check for a credit. He's too good not to steal.
Most excellent. He'd be pleased as punch.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Going home now.

And he's the one candidate that I'm absolutely certain is gay-friendly, regardless of whatever story he may be telling right wing conservatives at the moment.
See how much good that does you once he's stocked up the Supreme Court. Women are first in line, natch, but we all have skin in the game here.

Not only do the fossils and stars show there was a great judgment, Baird said, but they also show God will keep His promise and come again.
Wow, that's almost Lovecraftian.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The notes thing is interesting, because there's a real split in whether courts allow it or not. I can see both sides-- you don't want notes standing in for evidence in the jury room when they have access to the transcript and all the exhibits. With all the hoops you have to jump to present evidence it would blow hardcore if a verdict rested on that kind of record. OTOH obviously it's impossible to remember all of the evidence presented.
