Prosecutor: "You don't know, as you are sitting here today, what Mr. Rosenbaum was thinking, do you?"
Richard McGinniss: "Do you mean at the time of the shooting?"
Prosecutor: "Yes".... "Or at any time in his life." You have no idea...what Mr. Rosenbaum was ever thinking"
Richard McGinniss: "I never exchanged words with him, if that's what your question is."
Prosecutor: "So your interpretation of what he was trying to do, or intending to do, or anything along those lines was complete guess work...Isn't it?"
Richard McGinniss: "...Well, he said 'fuck you' and then reached for [his] weapon."
BOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!!!* This has to be the greatest reply I've heard in such a long time.
Well, he said 'fuck you' and then reached for [his] weapon."
You can't make this shit up. It is so fantastic.
Screw a mistrial. He will be found not guilty after today's testimony.
A mistrial would mean he can be tried again. Being found not guilty is the final word on this.
