Morning All!!

I received this e-mail last week. I don't know if y'all watched any of the Spector trial, but if you did you will remember Marta and Loni. Well, they are takin' on OJ:


Dear Starbright,


I have the greatest news!

Marta Waller, from KTLA,will be hosting the OJ Simpson trial with live feed on the internet, again!

In a late Monday afternoon conversation with Marta, she said that she had just been assigned to anchor the OJ Simpson burglary trial and believes that Loni Coombs will be along side her as they give us their legal commentary.

Be sure to sign up, at KTLA, and ask your questions about the trial while chatting with us at Jurorthirteen!

Go to http://www.ktla.com/pages/main and click on Blogs & More. Then continue to the message boards and scroll down to "Trial Talk".

Commentary and live video will begin when opening statements begin.

Spread the news!!!

Addendum:

If you go to the above site. Click on NEWS, scroll down to OJ Simpson, then it will open and you can click there to watch the trial live starting at 8 AM (I am sure that is LA time). Enjoy.

KTLA says live coverage beginning at 8am

Sorry Starbright - you have said that already - I just read the 9am from the next post

[ellvarn]

I never thought I would be here on an OJ thread drinking my morning coffee. I posted on the "Daily Discussion" thread that it makes me want to

But I am glad to say good morning to all my fellow posters. And I will be watching with y'all.

Good Morning -

Good Morning -

Mornin K-9 and all!..Pleased to see there will be more than CNN live streaming this circus...I think CN has drained any mojo I had left by the last trial they streamed!!!!

We maybe should be specific when posting times here as it does get confusing to some..KTLA seems will be up and running at 8AM..but that is PST not EST....Just need to refresh my memory..Is that 3 or 4 hours difference??Help my morning coffee hasnt kicked in yet!!!

TY TY........i really do like Marta and Loni a lot. I hope this trials over before the Spector one starts.

i hope the jury finds OJ guilty.

Wasn't that the defense's choice? My understanding was that the judge normally, and in this case, wanted ALL of the jurors - including the 2 black alternates - to sit as jurors and to have the alternates picked after the trial prior to deliberation, meaning that OJ COULD have potentially had two black jurors. Am I misunderstanding this?

Are you really not even interested in what evidence the jury bases their decision on?

I am with you on the wonder there!..I think I would have voted differently if Honorable Elizabeth Halverson was the appointed Judge to this case I think Judge Glass will make sure its a fair trial!!

LMS

Good morning everyone! Looking forward to watching this trial with each and every one of you. I am relieved that Judge Jackie
Glass is presiding, she will rule this courtroom with an iron hand, eliminating all the potential nonsense from the defense team, imo.

If the evidence supports it, and I think it will, I am looking forward to seeing simpson going to jail for a long time. IMO.

That said, if, after the fact, people want to opine on whether this jury's decision is "right or wrong" discerning what the jury hears and sees versus what is public knowledge makes a difference. That difference is legal justice versus vigilante justice.

True enough. Let's call it the verdict of public opinion?

http://www.thelegaledge.com./ For live coverage...the chat doesn't look too great tho LMAO

IE: If his women would just act right he wouldn't have the beat the *** out of them.

I wonder what would have happened if he had just asked for his stuff (without guns)?

Or even without a "posse". My guess is that he didn't want to argue about whose "stuff" it was - he knew where it came from. If OJ had a good argument he'd have followed the civil route suggested by law enforcement to Riccio.

He is not dumb. Well I don't know what is the right word - he's ignorant, but not dumb?

I recall judge Glass having had the same problem coming up with the proper word to describe OJ's actions....

I plan to watch as much of this as I can. The jury make up is interesting.

This is my ghost LMAO Hi dunnie! I think Gale was complaining about the jury make up...one A/A and an alternate at that.

Good Morning Everyone................

you'll probably have to write and ask Michel....I don't know what to do about that.

I say....

I think clearly Riccio did just that. He set OJ up to watch him fall and OJ swallowed hook, line and sinker. He knew how OJ would react and by golly, he was right! The co-defendants were just OJ's chumps who followed him right into the trap.

[Lyndawitha"Y]

OJ actally looks nervous and puzzled...Hummmwonder if he is drawing on his past acting mode??..I think he should be nervous..but he has alot of experience in courtrooms..and behaviors..humm..Sorry to be so suspicious, but I just cant get past this guys activities of the past decade +!!

It's only Jennyanydots posts that are in bold so I assume she is bolding them.

On the bright side, this might mean our letter b works again.

Check him OUT!

Oh My.

wow he looks horrible lol

( loved it )

Oh....in this jurisdiction, jurors can ask questons. I love that!

I'd be shaking in my boots listening to these charges

I think OJ thinks, Hey I just went and got my stuff...no big deal
