Now that the jury has begun deliberating in the Sudbury murder trial of Felicity Altiman, here are some of the interesting courtroom moments they didn't get to hear.
It is rare to see a judge in a courtroom drama on TV or movie stopping proceedings to object during a trial, but it happens sometimes in real-life cases.
Justice Dan Cornell is presiding over Altiman's trial, who is accused of second-degree murder in the brutal stabbing death of 75-year-old Robert Keskinen in December 2020.
In TV and movies, it's lawyers that often stand up and shout 'objection!' during questioning and the judge makes a quick decision whether to sustain or overrule it.
However, in the Altiman trial, it was the judge who had objections to what he was hearing, pausing the proceedings and asking both the jury and witness to leave the room.
It happened at least twice during witness testimony Oct. 8.
