Day 5: All Rise for Judge Bass

Another day at court to view the murder trial. As I have said in my last post I can't give many details. The expert witnesses were again interesting, for example the ballistics expert (Gun expert). He explained the experiments he used to determine what gun were the bullets fired from, the impact the bullets make, markings to know which gun the bullet comes from etc. The medical expert, explaining aspects of the crime relating to them victim.  Throughout the court case we viewed other interesting evidence. One aspect of the case which I found interesting was the cross examination of the defendant. The prosecutor did a really good job dissecting the defendants testimony and highlighting the flaws.

Don't look professional!

The amazing Chesca talked to the DA assistant and we got to meet the judge of the trail! At first I thought he was going to be strict and scary but was really nice. We asked him questions about the trail and he was happy to answer them. He gave us a business card (so we can find out the outcome of the case) and a lapel pin which was very nice of him. I still found it odd after the meeting with the judge we found the defendant in the office (especially when we were talking about the trail to the judge next door).

After the long day at court it was relaxing to be able to go to the mall to do a bit of shopping.
