Pottery strike's working

Usage examples of minton.

After that I was supposed to go up to Van Nuys to meet for the first time with Ted Minton, the prosecutor who had taken the Roulet case over from Maggie McPherson.

I had my meeting with Minton, the new prosecutor assigned to his case, in twenty-five minutes in the older of the two courthouses.

I realized that I should be looking at myself, not Minton, for understanding.

I sat down, opened my case and pulled out the discovery file Minton had given me.

I had been embarrassed in the meeting with Minton and worse yet had tipped him early to my hole card.

I think of what he said, it was my duty to send him to the right prosecutor and it was up to Minton to evaluate him.

The name Dwayne Corliss was not in the discovery material Minton had given me.

If Minton was foolish enough to try to spring Corliss in trial, I might not even object under the rules of discovery.

Knowing that Minton would have been intimidated to silence by the judge, I decided to raise the rhetoric up a notch, go off notes and get directly to the windup.

In anticipation of the defense strategy, it was clear that Minton wanted to firmly establish that Campo had been brutally assaulted and was indeed the victim in this crime.

I objected on the grounds that it was prejudicial to play the audio recording when the transcript would suffice but the judge quickly overruled me before Minton even had to counter.

The recording was played and there was no doubt that Minton had started out of the gate strong as the jurors sat raptly listening to Campo scream and beg for help.

It was exactly what Minton wanted the jurors to hear and they certainly got it.

I knew it might give Minton the opportunity to play the recording again on redirect.

When Minton was through with this witness, I stood up to conduct my first cross-examination of the trial.
