friday, and be in trial monday morning when your client is facing any amount of time in prison let alone what scott bacon is facing. bacon s first day of trial revolved largely around jury selection. you got 31 people in there and just back and forth picking. what they re basically doing is they re asking questions to see which ones they want to keep, which ones he wants to get rid of, which ones we want to keep, which ones we want to get rid of. you know, so they get into the nitty-gritty. did they have certain jurors that you felt like you wanted on your team? they kicked them off? yeah. and a lot of it is more just like a gut feeling or something that you see like oh, that dude won t even look at me or you know, this person you try to read the body language? right. lot of body language reading and just seeing how people are reacting to other people s comments for real. bacon will be back in court
i m going to chop at it until we chop it down. all right. well, that s it for today, soldier. head on our next journey. scott bacon s next journey is now in the hands of 12 jurors who have just reached their verdict. they could send him home or send him to prison on two counts of sexual exploitation of a child. each count is for one of two nights that he escorted a 17-year-old girl as she prostituted herself in wichita s red light district. all rise, please. bacon had originally been represented by a public defender, who brought him a plea deal of ten years. not satisfied, his mother hired a private defense attorney, sarah swain, only three days before the start of trial. regardless of what happens here with this verdict, [ bleep ]. thank you.
people that she doesn t know. the dangerous and crazy behaviors she was doing before she ever met me. during their first day of deliberation, the jury asked for testimony to be read back to them. specifically what bacon told police his intention was on the two nights he escorted the young woman to broadway. my argument to the jury in closing arguments was that his intent was not to assist her in selling sexual relations. his intent was to be there to protect her. that s what scott said that night to the police, that s what the girl said that night to the police, that s what the police officers testified to when they took the stand during trial. bacon s attorney, sarah swain, feels good that the jury has not rushed to a verdict. considering that they only heard about three hours of evidence and they have been deliberating four hours, that s amazing. i think that really points heavily to the fact that they have a lot of doubts about the case that the state put on, and i m hopeful
defense. it s very stressful for me and it s not my life that s on the line. it s my client s life that s on the line. so i don t take that responsibility lightly. you can call the office and tell them to do subpoenas with monday s date on them and get them sent to g-mail asap so i can get them printed and get out and start serving them. she reminds me of my mother. very cocky, very confident, knows her [ bleep ]. we re fighting for my life. coming up how does it feel to be in these clothes? this is life. i mean, street clothes. you feel like a person. scott bacon s trial begins. day one brings a huge development.
