0:06.8 | they spent so much time on the DNA evidence that the jury was falling asleep. |
0:13.1 | Because it's such a complicated area of evidence. |
0:17.6 | So it might be that you would almost need someone with more education to sit and |
0:25.9 | listen as if they were in like a lecture hall being lectured to about certain type of evidence |
0:31.6 | because they're else they're going to be bored to tears and it's going to go over their head |
0:35.5 | and you're going to lose them. That's just my opinion, Mike. No, it's true. I will also say Judge Edo, Lance Edo, lost control of that case |
0:44.9 | because they were only taking testimony, I think at one point two hours a day. And so it went on |

1:36.7 | You're right. It seems a little bit snobby, but occasionally it comes in handy to figure out what is this, you know, what is this person capable of understanding? |
1:48.6 | You know, one of the big considerations in this case also is that the jury, whoever they may be, and again, the jury is going to be 12 jurors and eight alternates. |
