Reply to comment by fbtcu1998 in Prosecution rests in Wisconsin parade suspect's trial by Thetimmybaby

Between this, the Jones case, and a trial I did jury duty for, I've learned that the legal system will give you absolutely every opportunity to get your own message out and speak whatever you like, however you want to be defended. It will bend over backwards to accommodate lunatics and the deluded. It's really given me a lot of hope.

That's sort of the rule of thumb of how any trial should go: let the defense make up most of the rules (within reason), and then when it tries to appeal later, just point to where either both parties agreed to a rule, or where the trial judge let the defense make the rule to begin with, and then say "so, what's the problem exactly?"

Not always, but when it’s going right, yes.
