Followed this for much of the day. I find myself in that weird space of reality above this whole situation where I'm trying to keep it as rationally as possible.
While I don't agree that a pixelated photo that the judge had to get up and squint at counts as anything resembling evidence, I can sort of understand if it's literally all the prosecution has got throughout that entire mess. I believe it's foolish for this single W to suddenly invalidate all the shit Binger and Fatty have been eating across the past week with their behavior to the Judge, the Witnesses, and before the Jury. Especially when the Jury has had to have been dismissed multiple times due to incredibly unprofessional shit that actually got Schroeder screaming at him.
I think what it boils down to is that - for as much as we could all hope for it - a mistrial of ANY flavor is completely out of the question. A jury needs to legitimize it and we go from there, that's just the way it's going to have to be. I thoroughly believe Schroeder gave them that one, tiny little bone if only to get this shit to Monday.
And am I worried Binger is gonna emotionally appeal to those women for two and a half hours? You bet your ass I am. Psychologically, some extremely autistic part of me is seeing patterns and it's a struggle to resist just writing off this entire shitshow as being one more demoralizing step in the utter Hell this country has descended into. I'm not a heart reader, I can't look at the jury and just immediately know what the outcome is based on anything, even how they've responded to the many various happenings we've had throughout the process.
It always comes back to having to confront the absolute fear that is not knowing jack and shit until it happens, we're hard wired to avoid being put in that situation at any cost, and it can drive you crazy the more you dwell on it. So my message is this: Hope, Pray, Eat, Drink, Fuck, and do whatever you need to do this weekend to keep yourselves health. Do it for Kyle, and send some good will to him. Prepare for anything you want, and expect anything to happen after all the shit we've seen unfold. Believe in sanity and rationality; and if you can't, believe that this absolute farce has yet to display anything resembling an actual case by legal and professional definition.
