Spoiler: The end of this video may disappoint some viewers.

We filmed these videos all at once, so ignore my complaining about the hearsay exceptions; BIG thanks to obzcure for providing a complete list of all the hearsay exceptions in the fourth video of this series! THANK YOU! :)

  • I've actually been on a Jury for a federal criminal trial (but not for murder, it was a felony related charge). My biggest fear the whole time was if the lawyers were going to ask questions with too many legal words or big terms that they common folk wouldn't understand, or they would spew too many objecitons and such.

    It was NOTHING like that, it's really much simplier than what they show on TV, and different from the game itself (though the game has a different premise).

  • Anyway, it was certainly an interesting game to see.

    What I don't get is how you're supposed to "figure out' who the murder is, since your only evidence is right there in the testimony (in other words, what's the point of the question?)! That, and it's not either of the lawyer's job to figure it out, they're supposed to prove (or attempt to disprove the prosecutions case) to the members of the jury if the accused is guilty or innocent of the crime.

    Ah well, nice LP though BTW!

  • The game does definitely break from courtroom procedure and become more of a "game" right at the very end, when it asks you who the killer was. I guess they felt like they couldn't make a game that was that realistic and still sell it. Thanks for watching! :)

  • I think the main reason why they use juries in the first place is because they want the defendant to be judged by "real people" instead of some highly-placed judge, so they probably try to talk to members of the jury like everyday people instead of legal experts. Glad your jury duty worked out. :)

  • what? you say the murderer is princess julie? not testing any evidence and just listening to a sleezebag is okay in this court. just say who the killer is. it probably is. PRINCE JULIE YOUR UNDER ARREST! what evidence do you have a against me? don't I have to be tried first? NOPE SOME GUY TOLD US IT WAS YOU.

  • Nice one.

  • haha I agree with you LB!

  • Ahh......I thought it was more like:

    ಠ_ಠ

  • No, you have no idea how much this frustrated us... We tried looking for clues on the Internet, but pretty much every single keyword combination took us to general websites about courtroom phrases, or just showed that a game existed called "Objection," without any other information. It was pretty terrible...

  • I think it's actually more of a blank stare. Maybe with an arched eyebrow.
