Around the 2:50 mark it gets good.

Do the courts in the USA really use skype? LOL

It's no different than using a cell phone, or any other remote technology. If that state's rules of procedure allow it, there's nothing wrong.

I'm wondering if that judge will be pursuing contempt charges against all the idiots that called in.

Sounded like she had no idea what skype was in the video. The best part is when the dude starts to laugh.

State should be held in contempt for ending a sentence in a preposition.

seems a tad different when the public can "photobomb" a murder trail. In Canada we have closed circuit tv and video relays, but typically not used when a witness gives testimony at a murder trial. There is a high level of control over the system. This seems like armature hour, which is a shame for the man on trail and the victims family.

Why not just testify with tweets, the lawyers can tweet questions and you can just tweet back ! =D

Yeah, the court was really stupid by not taking measures to block the interference. But because phones and such are allowed, this is just a natural extension. The issue is the sloppiness not the tech.

This is getting outside what I know, but IIRC there's something about remote testimony having to be in real time if you're going to "call in."
