Never happen. Supreme Court justices are selected not for their fairness and knowledge of constitutional law, but for their political bias... this judge has none.

This judge is such a lovely, kind, professional gentleman. He has my sympathies for having very recently lost his 40 yr old lawyer son to 'sudden death' by heart attack. I can't imagine the strength and moral courage it took to proceed with this trial despite the collapse of his personal world. What an amazing and incredible MAN 💞
I agree. Certainly is. Seeing the demeanor of this judge actually is a sigh of relief for my spirit, what with all the hoopla occurring everywhere. He's like a cool breeze upon my heated worries.
Before reading any comments I perceived the humble and strong personality of this judge. Also to read of his recent tragic loss of his beloved son, his composure is almost unfathomable!!
It makes me think about how when a police officer tells a person (for their own good) they have a right to remain silent. Often they don't have the ability to remain silent.
Love this judge! Pensive, deliberate, measured. Lawyers all speak highly of him, the running of the trial, and, his courtroom. He's calming and so neutral.
I am floored that any juror would ignore the judge’s order. The man’s life is on stake and this judge has gone above and beyond to control this highly public trial!!!! Outrageous
Judge Newman is one in a million, literally. Love him and his integrity, honesty, intelligence, sense of fairness, and his wonderful sense of humor. Was it that difficult for that juror to keep her mouth shut for just a little while longer? She has a problem if it was. He did right to remove her.

I remember reading an essay in college, written by a philosopher who discussed the role of a judge in American law. It was very enlightening and ended with something like “very few of us are capable of suspending judgment vis a vis the lens of legal fact but the very best judges are able to do not only that but recognize they are also human and fate blessed them to be in robes and not as a defendant themselves”. This judge seems wise, impartial but also human - his validation of the verdict was edifying for me and I bet for the jury.
This judge presents himself unbiased and conducts his court with professionalism. If everyone in the judiciary system operates in such ethics and excellence, the judicial system would work as it should. He handled his explanation to the juror with much empathy, respect, and compassion.
@ lil Mint Judge was not showing prejudice for or against her or the defendant. She chose not to follow his instructions regarding her duty as a juror. He had no choice, but to remove her. What was he suppose to do,…. take her dozen of eggs? 🙄😄
The fact that the defense did not want the juror removed tells you everything you need to know about what is happening. This sucks for everyone!! You have to be such an idiot to talk to multiple people about the trial while on jury.
The defendant’s team has almost every appearance of arrogance, rudeness, condescending attitude and corruption. The facts that the defendant had money placed on the account of another prisoner, let or had his sister give a book in court, let his son “flip the bird” to people in the courtroom is inexcusable, being an attorney he knew all of those things were not allowable. That defendant thinks he is above the law, along with the rest of the family, only admitted to lying when he had no other choice because of the truth.
@@ConfederateDixieDarling Did the jury see Murdaugh's son make the obscene gesture? What a loathsome entitled corrupt lazy family. At least 5 bodies on their "account". So used to behaving horribly and getting away with it. I'm not saying it is right or good that the wife and son were killed....but if you spend your life with corrupt people who regard others as disposable and not important...some day you may be seen that way too. It reminds me of mafia wives who are happy to spend their husbands' blood money, but then get shocked and annoyed when their thuggish hubbies hit THEM. Of gosh. Imagine that.
If I am ever called to jury duty and I end up serving, I couldn't imagine NOT taking it as seriously as anything I've taken serious in my life. Especially a case as serious as this.
It seems like her husband posted something on FB. Now he could have had the information from watching the trial online or watching analysis. It was bad judgement from his part to post at all since his wife was on jury duty.

I respect and admire this judge so much! He is everything I would expect for someone in his position; he also seems like a very nice person in general. 👍
I have great respect for Judge Newman for the kind and gentle way he handled this matter. I’ve seen other judges who were really furious to have to deal with similar actions this close to the end of the trial, and if Judge Newman was upset, he didn’t show it or lose his cool at all.
Loose lips sink ships. No excuse for that jurist. What a calm and super professional judge. Those dozen of eggs became a distraction, but the courtroom needed a bit of humor from this serious case. Kudos to this judge!
So hard to believe this juror could not adhere to the rules.ALL THESE WEEKS, and she blows it with a few days left. (plus FB husband talks about the case). I'd hate to be judged by a person who deliberately spoke out of turn which is going against the courts order.
It isn't just against the rules but you hold someone's very freedom in your hands not something anyone should take lightly. She should be embarrassed by her behavior!
Mr. Harpoopie saying SLED agents interviewing the witnesses about this juror was not appropriate. And the judge set him straight immediately that it was all done with court personnel. No agents involved. SNAP!
There's already enough for multiple appeals, including the SLED agent on the record admitting to lying to the grand jury. I don't think the defense was after an appeal as they already have enough multiple times over.
Don't leave those eggs girl !!! Those are expensive 🤣 But seriously, looks like she should face some sort of repercussion for not following a direct order from the court. She could have caused a whole lot of problems.
I wish I could be more like this Judge. Can't believe how nice he was to the ejected juror. If she is a decent person, this probably makes her feel even worse.
This is a type of Judge that no criminals should want to ever meet. He's a no nonsense type of person. I wish there was thousands of more judges like him. He speaks and works for the people of the United States of America. And this is rare for many people of authority in 🇺🇸. I wouldn't ever want to meet him even as a friend. THANK you sir for what you do for the people
It almost seemed like the juror didn’t even know which conversation lead her to be removed …. The judge mentioned there were multiple people who gave information she discussed with them so if it was so clear and obvious why did the juror seem unsure about what caused her to be removed?? I have a feeling more will be uncovered about this in the future..
@John D Seems to be a theme in this trial. Deny, deflect, act surprised w/ a sprinkle of “ I didn’t do that.” Don’t forget your eggs on the way out. 🙃🙃
I’m in awe of this judge, admire him immensely. But what really troubles me is could you imagine all the jurors?? Man I truly have hard times in trusting their integrity and not being colluded or bought by the defence and AM family.
@@mwoods4608 absolutely! That’s what I said since the beginning of this trial, unreal they chose jurors from this counties. They should’ve been chosen from other states, the farthest possible from SC
He was TOO nice to her!! She blatantly disobeyed judges orders to not discuss and she gets to joke about her eggs on the way out???? What a mockery of this judicial process!!!
She needs to be held in contempt. People think they can get away with anything they want in society. We need to send a message, You do this you are immediately sentenced to 30 days in JAIL for contempt of court .
I like that instead of what some judges would have used as a scolding opportunity the judge handled it with grace while still being clear on what the juror did wrong.
This Judge renews my faith in the Judicial System. Who is Pooty please.? .. I've tried to watch this - it is sad but it fascinates me that a life, or a person's freedom can be on the line - (innocent til proven guilty(that is what it is predicated on) - and yet a juror who has been clearly instructed on procedure and the utmost importance of obeying those instructions can just throw integrity (not caution)to the wind because of self control issues Self respect easily prevents a person from engaging in this behavior. How come those NYC Circuit Court Judges who have handled the charges of Stephen Donziger who was the Lawyer who handled the Ecuadorian Indigenous People vs Chevron Case - do not have the Integrity this man does.Very upsetting what they did. Or the Judicial Systems in both the US and Great Britain handling of the Julian Assange case - where is the integrity and honesty of those people. Here is this Judge - a man that knows the Law , respects it , lives it , upholds it ....therefore keeping the rest of us in the place we should always be. In front of GOD with a clean conscious. He should be recognized for this even tho this is how EVERY Juge should behave.
This is the type of man who should be considered for the Supreme Court.
Definitely. Couldn't agree more.

This man (Judge) is a strong human being...his WORLD was just shaken up to no end & here he sits proceeding over a very public & stressful TRIAL EVERYDAY with a calm demeanor& willing to uphold his oath fairly!!! BLESSINGS to you & your family judge!! Hero status you have in my eyes✌🙏🤎🖤👌*
Amen 🙏🏾 👼🏾
I agree with the judge’s decision. I believe that only the citizens who respect and follow the laws can carry out the justice.
I suppose Trump is entitled to it?? That Kohrs girl really screwed the pooch.
However not mutually exclusive
@@davidoetting1551 are you hyjacking this respectable discussion on the shining attributes of the judge?
Wow. Low life much. Please take it somewhere more appropriate, I implore you. Please show respect.
I really like this man. His affect. His disposition. His professionalism. Incredible.
I feel terrible for his loss.
What loss?
@@enochgoodfellow8972 By all accounts, his son passed away in January 2023 aged 40 😞
I respect and admire this judge so much! He is everything I would expect for someone in his position; he also seems like a very nice person in general. 👍
I have great respect for Judge Newman for the kind and gentle way he handled this matter. I’ve seen other judges who were really furious to have to deal with similar actions this close to the end of the trial, and if Judge Newman was upset, he didn’t show it or lose his cool at all.
I just love and respect this Judge through this whole trial.
This is a great judge his daughter is a judge good people
"... a dozen eggs..." Such a Southern thing to have to have retrieved from the juror room.
Loose lips sink ships. No excuse for that jurist.
What a calm and super professional judge.
Those dozen of eggs became a distraction, but the courtroom needed a bit of humor from this serious case. Kudos to this judge!
Wow! That judge handled that politely.
He truly is a class act
This should send a strong message to all other jurors.
Did the juror think she was special and ruled don’t apply to her? She laid an egg, and I’m glad the judge called her out publicly for it.
No, she laid a dozen eggs.
@Greg 'Tis my nature.
So hard to believe this juror could not adhere to the rules.ALL THESE WEEKS, and she blows it with a few days left. (plus FB husband talks about the case).
I'd hate to be judged by a person who deliberately spoke out of turn which is going against the courts order.
It isn't just against the rules but you hold someone's very freedom in your hands not something anyone should take lightly. She should be embarrassed by her behavior!
Right??
Who is FB?
I guess her husband was discussing the case on Facebook....?
Pooty has a problem. He’s trying to push for hung jury. Probably he planned this. He’s corrupt.
this judge is solid, a class act all around.
The judge is outstanding
Judge Newman has been spectacular: fair, orderly, organized, followed the processes and didn’t tolerate any mess.👍🏼
Many years ago I heard a person who was talking about a case in details! I was so mad. You have to adhere to the rules!!!!! It’s not a joke.
How humiliating being brought in front of the whole court to be fired as juror in public like that
She created the situation that could have had many negative repercussions for this trial. Her "humilty" is the least of the Courts worries.
Juror 285 come on DOWN! oh - bring your stuff..
Exactly and bravo, judge. She should apologize publicly as well.
They should have all thrown rocks at her
There will always be consequences for your actions, sometimes they’re humiliating.
Mr. Harpoopie saying SLED agents interviewing the witnesses about this juror was not appropriate. And the judge set him straight immediately that it was all done with court personnel. No agents involved. SNAP!
He wanted the comment on record for the inevitable appeal.
There's already enough for multiple appeals, including the SLED agent on the record admitting to lying to the grand jury. I don't think the defense was after an appeal as they already have enough multiple times over.
@@sprtwlf9314 I agree, but it's procedure to record every objection.
She's running to FOX right now with a dozen eggs!
She broke the rules then lied about it. Charge her.
No business being a juror if one can't zip their lip! Sheesh! 😕
Don't leave those eggs girl !!! Those are expensive 🤣 But seriously, looks like she should face some sort of repercussion for not following a direct order from the court. She could have caused a whole lot of problems.
A month jail time wouldn't be bad
@@vivianparadise8730 , exactly... something, anything other than a smile and a joke. I mean, this stuff is serious business.
as soon as alex murdaugh learns what habeas corpus means he's going to make a great jailhouse lawyer.
I wish I could be more like this Judge. Can't believe how nice he was to the ejected juror. If she is a decent person, this probably makes her feel even worse.
This is a type of Judge that no criminals should want to ever meet. He's a no nonsense type of person. I wish there was thousands of more judges like him. He speaks and works for the people of the United States of America. And this is rare for many people of authority in 🇺🇸. I wouldn't ever want to meet him even as a friend. THANK you sir for what you do for the people
RIGHT ON JUDGE !!!
It almost seemed like the juror didn’t even know which conversation lead her to be removed …. The judge mentioned there were multiple people who gave information she discussed with them so if it was so clear and obvious why did the juror seem unsure about what caused her to be removed?? I have a feeling more will be uncovered about this in the future..
Imagine just for a moment....people lie. 🤯
Could explain why she "acted" unsure. Critical thinking skills!
Well, she apparently also discussed it with her ex-husband since she asked the judge if it was about such a conversation.
Judge Newman had already discussed matter w/ her; she knew it was coming.
But, don’t forget ur eggs
@John D
Seems to be a theme in this trial.
Deny, deflect, act surprised w/ a sprinkle of “ I didn’t do that.”
Don’t forget your eggs on the way out. 🙃🙃
I’m in awe of this judge, admire him immensely. But what really troubles me is could you imagine all the jurors?? Man I truly have hard times in trusting their integrity and not being colluded or bought by the defence and AM family.
they should of held the trial in a different county.
@@mwoods4608 absolutely! That’s what I said since the beginning of this trial, unreal they chose jurors from this counties. They should’ve been chosen from other states, the farthest possible from SC
This judge is such a class act!! God bless him!!🙏🙏🙏 Let’s all pray for him!!
This must be what the unusual & lengthy sidebar was about. Seen on Court TV coverage.
The judge looks so sweet and is genuinely sweet.
A kind man, all judges should be this way.
He was TOO nice to her!! She blatantly disobeyed judges orders to not discuss and she gets to joke about her eggs on the way out???? What a mockery of this judicial process!!!
It sounds like she spoke with SLED officers ....so the police. It was likely she was afraid.
It's called class.
Once again, lack of accountability for the juror’s actions. People just do what they want even though warned. There should be a penalty for this.
She needs to be held in contempt. People think they can get away with anything they want in society. We need to send a message, You do this you are immediately sentenced to 30 days in JAIL for contempt of court .
The judge handled this with class and professionalism, with a bit of humor
I like that instead of what some judges would have used as a scolding opportunity the judge handled it with grace while still being clear on what the juror did wrong.
Wow…this trial has been a whirlwind with numerous twists and turns!
YOU MEAN NIGHTMARE !!!???
And voice video of suspect at the slaughter scene at the time of the murder. NO DOUBT here.
Defense objects to removal of juror 😱Disgraceful team on behalf of a disgraceful suspect.
Thanks to pooty
This Judge renews my faith in the Judicial System. Who is Pooty please.?
.. I've tried to watch this - it is sad but it fascinates me that a life, or a person's freedom can be on the line - (innocent til proven guilty(that is what it is predicated on) - and yet a juror who has been clearly instructed on procedure and the utmost importance of obeying those instructions can just throw integrity (not caution)to the wind because of self control issues
Self respect easily prevents a person from engaging in this behavior.
How come those NYC Circuit Court Judges who have handled the charges of Stephen Donziger who was the Lawyer who handled the Ecuadorian Indigenous People vs Chevron Case - do not have the Integrity this man does.Very upsetting what they did.
Or the Judicial Systems in both the US and Great Britain handling of the Julian Assange case - where is the integrity and honesty of those people.
Here is this Judge - a man that knows the Law , respects it , lives it , upholds it ....therefore keeping the rest of us in the place we should always be. In front of GOD with a clean conscious.
He should be recognized for this even tho this is how EVERY Juge should behave.
I swear these defense judges are so corrupt. They create confusion so that they can later complain and try for a mistrial. They're just awful.
Need more judges like this Gentleman
Wisdom all around: this judge is! I just love his gentle justice!
This judge was fair, kind, respectful and absolutely right in his actions. I have a little bit of faith left in the justice system.
Man with principles!!! Bet your black mom n dad are extremely proud of the man you are!!!!
You know that the price of eggs has skyrocketed when the juror's main concern was getting her dozen eggs back.
Thank you judge for being honest n fair
As a reporter, now retired, I've covered lots of trials and heard lots of goofy stuff. But the "dozen eggs" thing is a new one on me.
She decided with another juror to give each juror an egg that morning little did she know what was happening
She said that another juror brought eggs from their farm and gave to everyone.
Spoken like a TRUE Gentleman...
Love this judge.
