Trying to watch this trial has been so beyond frustrating! The quality and sound! Come on people it's 2022 and we can't get audio down? FFS! All court rooms should be like a stage and mic everyone!

I know. I think it might just be the defense lawyer though, she's utterly incompetent and she's probably nowhere close to the mic. Edit: Nope. The sound quality is just atrocious.

I think in general this courtroom was entirely unprepared for filming/streaming, and I think a major problem is where they set up mics. On some days, the only thing you can hear is the poor court reporter's every waking move, and somehow the mic becomes 4K anytime someone makes a cough or sniffle or any mouth noise that will set off everyone's misophonia.

What a gentleman for him to help the elderly mother off the witness stand.

I like how at 1:04:50 He glances around like "really? No one's going to help her? Looks like it's up to me". I dunno if there's some rule saying Nancy isn't allowed to leave her seat, but if there's isn't one, that's her MIL! And she just sat there as she struggled to walk over to the witness stand!

One gentle suggestion for the next trial this channel streams: please please please more clearly organize the titles and videos. Day 2 seems to be missing completely, and my guess is that if you use a mix of numbers and words, the algorithm cannot properly suggest the next chronological video. For example, "day one" vs "day 3." I started with day 22 (I think) and the same issue exists.

Yes, it would greatly benefit them if they organized into playlists for viewers. There happens to be a lot of renewed interest in this case and looking for each day is very time consuming (let alone the audio issues) which has cost them views.

@@ElizabethKlimas Not necessarily. When you're in jail/prison your income doesn't automatically go to victims or even court fees. You can be ordered to pay but if she doesn't what are they going to do? Lock her up? A publisher can easily say they will print her books and she can do this from prison. The victims can sue for all proceeds but that takes time. Weird people write people in prison they don't know & some like to learn about murderers, wouldn't be surprised if her essay gets sold after this. A reporter said he went into every book store in downtown Portland and they didn't have her book but that can change. She could probably sell it on Amazon or ebay.

What an absolute clown that defence attorney is. Giving out the poor lady's phone number. Prosecution are rightly furious with this incompetence.

What doesn't make sense to me is the objections that the jury hears .. the prosecutor wanted to bring back up the issue of Dan being fired for an issue with a student because the lady answered that question saying yes. But the objections was held up. The jury already heard the answer. And the judge said, "oh , I'll just instruct them to disregard that ". How can someone unhear something? Like now that they know. It's not like they can act like they don't. How stupid is that.. I believe the judge was wrong for that... The prosecutor should have been allowed to address that she only heard that, and that it was for a fact.
