So I was in Harris County Criminal Court at Law Number 14 this morning waiting for the judge to return from a long break when I saw this (PDF) on the state’s table for young prosecutors.
This explains some of the objections you hear prosecutors making: they’re choosing at random.
I was amused.
Then I noticed that there were three columns of eight objections each, and I was highly amused.
3*8 = 24 = 5^2-1.

You should see the cheat sheet they have for those ADA’s testifying in front of grand juries. It’s six-pages long and they are forced to memorize it and pass a pop quiz.
> 3*8 = 24 = 5^2-1
I understand the math there…but why does that amuse you? Is 521 a legal code reference, or something?
You know – like a BINGO card with a free space!!
It amused me because I realized I could create the second linked PDF.
Right, and if you just rattle them all off seriatim at every interposed objection, you can be near-certain you’ve preserved your issue.
“Your honor, may I have the following twenty-four running objections to every question that the state asks, and every response that its witnesses give, in the course of this trial…?”
Paar–it takes six pages and a quiz to explain how to take the Fifth?
if you can make some random bingo cards (shuffling up the spaces) then we can host a new member bingo!
I’m going to distribute them to jurors on my next trial.
