LIVE COURT | MA v. Karen Read Oral Arguments. Supreme Judicial Court hears motion to dismiss appeal

This is such an interesting appeal. I think the fact that jurors came out and said we did reach a verdict on these counts should mean something, especially since they explained they were confused about instructions.

Never seen an appellate argument before. Now I understand better why Sarah Boone's lawyer said he would pass the buck for her appeal. Thanks for sharing this.

Has anyone brought up or argued that THE JUDGE gave instructions to the jury before deliberations to NOT WRITE ANY DECISIONS UNTIL THEY HAVE AGREED ON ALL 3 COUNTS???

Appellate court is no joke. Gotta be quick on your feet. Definitely admire these attorneys for their skill.

Watching these appellate lawyers argue was incredible to watch. I have never watched this before and it was so different from arguments made during a trial. I see why lawyers specialize in this and trial lawyers don’t just continue on with this for their clients. Great video. Thanks for cover it EDB 💜

I didn’t know apellete judges just poke holes in arguments, found my new dream job 😂

Why didn't they say Judge Bev told the jury Not to fill in the jury form until they had come to a decision on all charges..Or did I miss that somewhere???..

This is why the forms should be clear and ALL forms should have an answer and signed, not left BLANK. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Well, yes, appellate court, I AM implying that when there are multiple charges, the judge MUST ask if the impasse is on some or all charges! That's kind of their job, actually.

I love that all judges asked questions and pushed both sides.
