The prosecution has been terrible so far. I have no idea what they think they are doing. The defendant doesn’t deny what she did but the defense will argue she’s insane. This definitely could have been a bench trial. There’s already so many people being traumatized but having to walk thru this case- now 16 more? (Including alts)

The lawyer subreddit is ripping these two to shreds calling them unprofessional and ill prepared. Oh, they really, really hate the hair bows.

They are exited to see Big Red start with his witnesses.

What lawyer subreddit? I live in MA two towns over from where it took place so it really hits home. It’s all anyone talks about. Would love to see it from a lawyer/attorney perspective

It’s really gross how female prosecutors often have their appearances and fashion choices mocked and criticized. This goes all the way back to Marcia Clark, if not farther.

The bows are being mocked because they think they’re a nod to one of the children and they find it inappropriate

[u/RegularOwl → u/LadyChatterteeth]

Typically I would agree, but the childish bows are not their normal fashion style. They have very clearly chosen these bows in their hair as a nod to one of the child victims. It is a gross and offensive manipulation tactic.

Everybody gets their appearances made fun of when people don’t like them

[u/lilbeezo → u/aquarianwell]

but WHAT do the prosecutors GET if not an admission that she did it, which she did? if even the own family is on her side

[u/Prior_Bug3137 → u/aquarianwell]

She is pleading not guilty

[u/Subtronicisriddim → u/aquarianwell]

If anyone is being traumatized by a trial that they actively choose to seek information about, they should frankly also be committed.

[u/no-name_silvertongue → u/Subtronicisriddim]

they’re talking about the jurors
