I really haven't followed the sexual assault trial in the district court that's been going on this week, but I did watch the Defendant testify this afternoon. Note: It's always a bad start when you have to admit to being released from prison for robbery in December of 2007 after having spent 15 real years locked up.
Anyway, the guy had written a couple of incriminating notes that had managed to end up in front of the jury with "State's Exhibit #" stitckers on them -- also a bad sign. But I got confused when he briefly explained that one of them, entitled "Angel", was written because of the movie 88 Minutes. Or, as the Defendant said, "The movie 88 Minutes starring Al Pacino and LeeLee Sobieski." I still don't understand.
Closing arguments begin tomorrow at 8:45 a.m.
