    i am on trial in Melbourne Australia and my matter is in its fourth year, regarding theft of motor vehicles. The prosecution has now claimed they are unable to find or locate the complaint, but still want to proceed. Is this allowed? In Melbourne you are found guilty, until you can prove you are innocent, and this is a 1 in 200 chance

    Thank you for your detailed explainations 😀 I've followed the Karen-Read-trial and wondered why the judge didn't allow to explain the cause of the objections. Is that allowed and normal in Massachusetts or only a personal preference? I thought it was confusing for the jurors, not to know why the prosecution or the defense attorney made an objection. Sorry for my bad english, I'm out of school in Germany since 1986 🤷‍♀️ Hoping for an answer and with best wishes from Frankfurt am Main 😊

    When I plaintiff deposed in chief and was testifying documents the defendant objected to my documents but did not say any reasons for his objections. The judge noted 'objection' to every document without any reason and did not admit the documents as exhibits. Now how can I get the documents exhibited to use them as evidence in trial of civil suit?

    I'm in a different jurisdiction but these tips were still very helpful. I had my first ever go at cross last week (in a mock trial setting), and the issue I had was that I prepared well enough but I relied too much on questioning on the fly and ended up losing my train of thought.

Local ordinance is 85dB (whoever makes this law does not know how loud it sounds like). I want to sue in small claim court. Beside journal and measure noise inside my house. what would you advise me to do and what does a judge want to see as evidence in my case? What quality as good evidence? I can only measure inside my house. When i tried to measure at the property line, my neighbor blocked it. Can i measure on the patio instead so they can’t block it? Thank you so much. I am going to watch all of your videos to learn how to prove my case in court. Will let you know the results…

    Weird a judge would label someone an obstructionist for objecting to what the judge considers to be a minor issue. Would an obstructionist be someone obstructing justice? Isn't that a crime?

    • @Jason-bx1jf
      @Jason-bx1jf 9 місяців тому

      I don't think he's labeling, but what he said in the beginning is that what a attorney or judge's opinion is of a defendant has an effect on what an attorney will object to. Now it depends on what state your in how an attorney will defend your case. Some jurisdictions have no money so it's in the court's best interest to find you guilty of the offense to make money

    • @ImNotHereToArgueFacts
      @ImNotHereToArgueFacts 9 місяців тому

      @@Jason-bx1jf If an attorney has been given a letter of rogatory instructing to make specific objections, the attorney is required to do so. A "judge" making a negative opinion of an attorney and calling them an "obstructionist" isn't being fair impartial. Yes, sounds like an "administrative" (commercial) official and not a judicial one.
