Jay Town, a career prosecutor and former U.S. Attorney, joins the show by phone to provide expert legal commentary on what he's observing. He praises the prosecution for its methodical approach — calling roughly 4 police officers to authenticate 40-50 exhibits — but pulls no punches on the defense: they are objecting to everything on foundation grounds despite there being no rules of evidence in a preliminary hearing. Every objection is being overruled and every exhibit admitted anyway, making the defence's moves a waste of time in the room but potentially valuable for an appellate record. Town draws an analogy: if your daughter photographs your backyard, you can still authenticate it as your backyard without being there when the photo was taken. The defense, he concludes, knows the evidence is overwhelming and is gambling on an appeals court somewhere, years from now, reversing a ruling — forcing a new trial when witnesses are dead or memories have faded.
Former U.S. Attorney Jay Town explains the legal mechanics of the Tyler Robinson preliminary hearing: the prosecution is methodically entering 40-50 exhibits through 4 police officers, while the defense objects to everything despite there being no rules of evidence. The objections are theater — all will be overruled — but they're building an appellate record for a future appeal.
Jay Town noted the defense counsel objected to every single exhibit entered — even though there are no rules of evidence in a preliminary hearing and all objections were overruled.
Jay Town argued the defense's tactic of objecting to everything is about building an appellate record — hoping a future court overturns a ruling and forces a new trial years later when evidence is stale.
