Summary

Why won't they let the jury visit the crime scene in Richard Allen’s trial? The defense has tried nearly every trick in the book to convince the judge to allow it, but time and again, they've been shot down. One of the key arguments is that the jury needs to understand the layout, the terrain, and the proximity of key locations to piece together what really happened. The prosecution? They're worried about dangerous terrain—ticks, even. But what are they really afraid of?

Eric Faddis, former prosecutor and defense attorney, questions the prosecution’s reluctance. Could visiting the scene paint a different picture of Allen’s alleged involvement? If jurors physically see the landscape, will they begin to doubt how close Allen or his vehicle really were to the crime? Or is the defense reaching?

With the trial date looming, there’s a growing stack of denied motions by a judge who appears to be leaning against the defense at every turn. Is the stage being set for a second trial, regardless of the outcome?

1:17.8	of questions, sometimes they do. Prosecution says, no, it's dangerous terrain. That's literally
1:24.9	the excuse. It might be dangerous. You might get a tick. You know,
1:28.4	if they didn't say that, but might as well. What's your thoughts on this? You know, of why prevent
