Need a distraction from this miserable election season? Check out the Bob Lee murder trial

The sister of the killer is so evil.

For sure. She is a shady character. Married, hanging out with drug dealers and DJ’s. She’s treating the trial like a catwalk. Bizarre.

The sister is a piece of work. We had wondered about her marriage to the plastic surgeon in the thread when the murder was committed. Turns out they live in separate apartments in Millennium Tower. Hmm.

She doesn’t seem too broken up,about her bf dead and her brother on trial for murder.

Two DUIs in a two month period. She has a penchant for huffing nitrous oxide and crashing her Mercedes into other vehicles.

The defense has rested and closing arguments are on Dec 2. Trial synopsis at link.

The SIXTH fucking day of jury deliberations, FFS?

Do these Persian fuckers and their white drug addict daughter crashing her Mercedes repeatedly after inhaling whippits and more in two counties think they run San Francisco? Fuck's sake.

You had me at the “whore of high tower”.

Bob Lee was cute as all fuck

The killing is on videotape and the jury is deadlocked?

No one has said anything about a deadlock. Learn to read.

I can’t read a video. I’m using “deadlocked” as shorthand for no verdict after 6 days. Seems like a pretty clear case.

Your shorthand is ignorant.

It’s a valid assumption.

Did they get to someone on the jury? Mistrial!

[QUOTE]Your shorthand is ignorant.

Rather than being a supercilious, cunty priss r11, why didn't you explain why the common usage of "deadlocked" is incorrect?

We understand your stated superiority, sir. Why can't you let us lesser legal beings know?

A deadlocked jury is one that sends a note to the judge specifying that it is unable to reach a unanimous verdict. A jury continuing to deliberate, without any such note, is not hung—ipso facto.

Get it now, oh clueless non-lawyer?!

A jury can be deadlocked before they tell the judge that they are hopelessly deadlocked.. 6 days of deliberations probably means they are unable to reach a unanimous verdict. Some outside chance they are just being very methodical, but they are must likely split.

None of the cast of characters in this tawdry case, including the victim, are likable people at all. They come off as self-indulgent, petty and low class.

Verdict tomorrow morning.

I think the defense was very clever to introduce "evidence" that the assailant reprimanded the victim for partying all weekend instead of spending time with his kids during his limited stay in SF. I'll bet this is the sticking point for the jury. This supposedly enraged Lee and led to the attack.

The sister, though, what a piece work. She basically outed herself as a drug addict alcoholic and, in her Persian culture, a total whore. They're not Muslim, but a lot of Christians are just as unforgiving. I wonder if her rich (and likely closeted*) society plastic surgeon will stay with her. The family put on such a united front at the trial -- will be interesting to see if that lasts.

* There was some speculation in the first thread. A new tidbit I picked up during the trial is that they live in separate apartments in Millennium Tower. Divorce in the air? He could find a much cheaper, less troublesome beard that won't embarrass him.

R20, early on, the local paper reported that her family are Zoroastrian. I remember because of how unusual that is around here.

Thanks, r21. I hadn't caught that.

R18. No. You were wrong yesterday, and you’re still wrong today.

Guilty of second degree murder.

Where’s the video of Crazy Bob snorting coke off a knife?

Guilty!

On the DL every jury is hung, if only in our minds.

The sister clearly gets her brassy blonde hair dyed at a place that doesn't know what it is doing. Dry, brittle, frizzy, roots like a redwood....no bueno.

What's going to become of Khazar?
