Days of our Lives - Wed., Sept. 24, 2020 (full summary)

[ShaunP(not ShawnD!)]

I’m trying to remember the last time they actually let a baby cry through a scene. It was nice to see how Lauren Koslow (Kate) worked with the baby while delivering her lines.

There was a scene a few years ago with Brady, Theresa and baby Tate. He was screaming the whole time while Jen Lilley (Theresa) tried to pat his back and calm him down.

Since Trask has her own vendetta against Kristen, wouldn't it be a conflict of interest for her to judge this case?

She's the District Attorney so is prosecuting, not judging. In most places in real life that wouldn't happen. In Pennsylvania, the case would be turned over to another attorney in the DA's office to prosecute or given to a DA in another county.

gramcracker, this is a good point. Melinda does have a conflict here because a victim was her daughter. Here's a quote from a law review article on this subject. "To the extent that a prosecutor aligns herself too closely with a victim, a prosecutor may compromise her ability to evaluate the case objectively, to weigh the credibility of the victim impartially, to exercise her broad discretion fairly and dispassionately, and to protect the legal rights of the accused." Of course, this is Salem so all bets are off.

Thanks to all for the good wishes.

Gramcracker, I hope rehab goes extremely well. Take care
