On Day Seven of the Pino trial no one rested (biblical pun...think about it). The State rested on day six and the defense moved for a judgment of acquittal.
The trial began today with Judge Tinkler-Mendez "respectfully" denying the motions for judgment of acquittal.
Why the adjective "respectfully?" We all make motions all the time. Some better than others. Some a closer call than others. Respectfully means nothing. A careful consideration (which we are not implying did not occur here) is what we are after.
Anyway, the trial moves on. The defense is calling an investigator as their first witness. We are writing a brief and went to find a fav game show and stumbled upon the broadcast of the trial, so we will watch it for a bit.
Current testimony appears to be something about how time and tide wait for no man.
Coming Next: What happens at the intersection of the NY Times Florida correspondent and the REGJB? An article about .....(three guesses....hint- he authors a constitutional calendar and enjoys a legal quip in iambic pentameter)
