Pre-Trial for court Yuki R.

Nov. 5 2009

"Three more days, two more days, one more day, and eventually that court day came. I have nervous like heck"

I am court reporter and I have to say, my job does seems really hard, but I have confidence that I will win because I do not have to type all the words they say, which really helps and that have to only get the basics. Now if I had to get word by word, then we would have a problem. I personally think that not everyone is ready, but some are. Filming everyone is really hard because they easily get off task. I really can not wait until I go to the court house, because its in downtown and I love downtown. I feel very confident that the defense will win the trial, because they are much more prepared compared to the defense. There arguments are much more professional soundings. So basically they got to there point. While the prosecuting attorneys improvises a lot and get off topic. I believe everyone is going to get nervous because off the high-pressured situation and the fact that its in an real court room in a real court house. I know I will be nervous, because I have never been in court in my life and judges are intimidating. In total I hope that this will be a experience rich with fun and learning and hope everyone feels that way. And that for those who are court reporter, it is really not that bad.

Trial Yuki Rosby

November 5, 2009

"After almost an hour after typing I thought my fingers were gonna bleed. My fingers will never forgive me"

I was surprised at the outcome of the trial because I would of thought that Jack was innocent and feel that they only chose him as guilty because of what they know. The prosecutors were much more convincing compared to the defense attorney. I really think the jury made a bad choice on this case. I was surprised at how easy it was, I thought it would be hard to catch up and I would hold everyone up, but {hurray} I didn't. I feel I was able to get 94-97% of the words. At one point a persecutor asked me to repeat what he said. When he said this I was sweating and didn't quite comprehend it for a few seconds. But after those seconds passes I was quickly looking for the last line and finally found it, phew what a relief! other than that no one asked me to read back the transcript, thankfully. My favorite part of this entire event was when we sat out side the court room waiting for permission to go inside to see the cold dark manslaughter case. When I looked out side I was the bustling city of "The real word". I could see taxi, buses and trucks walking by. It was a peculiar view of downtown and an even stranger view seeing streets below me.In all this has been a rewarding experience full of joy, laughter, and intense moments, and regret nothing at all.
