I appreciate that the appellate Court pointed out that the prosecution should be as interested in polling the jurors as the defense. Because WHY would you want to spend all this time and money AGAIN (unless you are corrupt perhaps?)

[ChildOfGod]

Has anyone brought up or argued that THE JUDGE gave instructions to the jury before deliberations to NOT WRITE ANY DECISIONS UNTIL THEY HAVE AGREED ON ALL 3 COUNTS???

[brittanykay]

I didn’t know apellete judges just poke holes in arguments, found my new dream job 😂

[AvalonCN]

Watching these appellate lawyers argue was incredible to watch. I have never watched this before and it was so different from arguments made during a trial. I see why lawyers specialize in this and trial lawyers don’t just continue on with this for their clients. Great video. Thanks for cover it EDB 💜

Never seen an appellate argument before. Now I understand better why Sarah Boone's lawyer said he would pass the buck for her appeal. Thanks for sharing this.

[vee_grave]

Appellate court is no joke. Gotta be quick on your feet. Definitely admire these attorneys for their skill.

[Feline_Frenzy]

I was amazed at how calm and clear the appellate attorneys were. I could never shift topics and keep that calm that quickly. Very educational. Thank you, Emily.

[ErinStudio]

This is such an interesting appeal. I think the fact that jurors came out and said we did reach a verdict on these counts should mean something, especially since they explained they were confused about instructions.

[susanlee]

Right!!! I thought the same. The Defense ASKED for clarification and the judge told them no. I remember thinking that was really not going to be good. I remember them arguing back and forth and her being very adamant that she didn’t care because “that’s how we do it in Massachusetts.”

[GwynnyBly]

I love that all judges asked questions and pushed both sides.

[lseh]

This is why the forms should be clear and ALL forms should have an answer and signed, not left BLANK. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

[SoSoSteph]

I had to hire a separate appellate attorney for my custody case. My trial attorney said nope. Get somebody else to do it lol and I won

[karmaMatters]

If I was a taxpayer paying for all of this, I would be beyond infuriated! I’m just a Canadian following all of this very closely and I’m beyond infuriated!

[JayeEllis]

Well, yes, appellate court, I AM implying that when there are multiple charges, the judge MUST ask if the impasse is on some or all charges! That's kind of their job, actually.

[mommajo]

They can simply ask the question “Did you as a group reach a not guilty verdict on charge 1” Please answer only “YES OR NO” if yes then ask the same question for charge 3. If all answer “Yes” then ask The question “Did you know that you could let the judge know that you could give her the verdicts on charges that were agreed upon” If the answer is “No” to that question Then double Jeopardy applies

[jennrocchi]

Rewatch crew checking in, still in my pj's at 230pm to say thank you EDB for taking us into this part of the judicial system that we dont usually get to see. very interesting & gives me a new appreciate for all the knowledge that lawyers & judges have! gotta be on your toe for real!

[SweeetPea]

Can we read the instructions and the court transcripts bc I swear Judge Cannone said (paraphrasing) if there is confusion between the written instruction and my spoken instruction, then follow my spoken instruction. So if she told them one thing and the written instruction said another, shouldn't the SJC really be reviewing that?

[marmite.]

Why didn't they say Judge Bev told the jury Not to fill in the jury form until they had come to a decision on all charges..Or did I miss that somewhere???..

[katiesmith]

I think the concept of double jeopardy is the most eloquent and fair elements of our law. I stand with the jury’s original verdicts. This is heartbreaking

[wee_Fergus]

Stressing me out! Whew, at least the judges have calm voices❤
