Defense Attorney Accuses Judge of Handcuffing the Defense and She Fires Back

Defense attorney Cruz accused the judge of handcuffing his client's defense. The judge told him he was mischaracterizing her rulings and denied his mistrial motion on the spot. Day 3 of the Edrick Faust murder trial opened with a confrontation. Cruz moved for a mistrial after the state's PowerPoint demonstrative was admitted, arguing the court skipped the required foundation. The judge shut it down, calling his claims "pretty frustrating" and pointing out that Cruz had reviewed the PowerPoint the night before without raising a single objection. Then the state's fire expert, ATF engineer Brian Grove, took the stand to explain how someone could have ignited a chenille blanket on a stove and carried it to Tara Baker's bed. On cross, Cruz forced Grove to admit he never visited the scene, never saw the blanket, and conducted his testing 23 years after the fire. The expert's testimony matters, but the real story today is what's happening between the defense attorney and the judge, and what that means for Edrick Faust. ⏰ KEY MOMENTS 00:00 - Housekeeping and defense raises witness issue 08:15 - Grove resumes testimony on fire testing 10:24 - Defense moves for mistrial over PowerPoint foundation 15:50 - Judge denies mistrial and rebukes defense attorney 26:16 - Lab testing results: blanket ignition on stove burners 34:22 - Fire development analysis and Kinston test comparison 52:47 - HVAC ventilation and long duration fire theory 1:01:46 - Cross-examination begins: what the expert didn't know 1:24:20 - Defense uses state's own slides to challenge test specificity From The Desk Of Justice: https://justiceisaprocess.com/desk-20... CASE BACKGROUND REPORT: https://www.justiceisaprocess.com/ga-... 📖 CASE BACKGROUND Tara Louise Baker was a first-year UGA law student from East Point, Georgia. On January 18, 2001, she was last seen at the law library and called a friend around 9:46 p.m. saying she planned to leave around 10. That was the last time anyone heard from her. The next morning, firefighters found Baker's body inside her burning off-campus apartment on Fawn Drive in Athens. She had been beaten, stabbed, strangled, and sexually assaulted. The fire was intentionally set. The only item taken was her laptop. She was one day from turning 24. The case went cold for 23 years. In 2023, the Coleman-Baker Act, named in part for Tara, created a GBI Cold Case Unit. That unit matched DNA from Baker's autopsy to Faust through the FBI's national database. Faust lived in Baker's neighborhood but was never a suspect. Investigators say they did not know each other.Defense attorney Ahmad R. Crews has challenged the DNA evidence and stated he believes Faust will be acquitted. 📂 PLAYLISTS & RESOURCES 🌐 Website: https://justiceisaprocess.com LIVE BROADCAST:    • LIVE BROADCAST: GA v. Edrick Faust   NO BREAKS EDITION:    • NO BREAKS EDITION: GA v. Edrick Faust   PODCAST:    • PODCAST: GA v. Edrick Faust   KEY MOMENTS AND TESTIMONY:    • Key Moments and Testimony: GA v. Edrick Faust   ► Subscribe for Daily Coverage:    / @justiceisaprocess   ⚖️ ABOUT JUSTICE IS A PROCESS This channel continues the work of Steven M.
