I loved last night's Veronica Mars so much that it kept me up late thinking about it. HOWEVER, what the fuck kind of travesty was Aaron's trial? I have been a witness at a criminal trial, and IT DOES NOT HAPPEN THAT WAY. Witnesses can't watch other people's testimony before they've testified. Defence attorneys can't bring up new evidence during witnesses' testimony. Unless Veronica had testified that she propositioned Aaron about the tapes, he couldn't have introduced that theory during cross examination. And the defendant sure as fuck doesn't get to testify first. Anyone who's even passed by Court TV, or watched coverage of the Scott Peterson or Michael Jackson trials, or has watched even a minute of one of the five Law & Orders would know that.

I am so angry that what has turned into a great twist—Aaron getting acquitted of murder (and, oh yeah, he rigged the bus crash)—was brought to fruition by such a stupid, arrogant plothole.

That said, Beaver so blackmailed Woody into staging that hotel scene and throwing the imalgamation vote. And the preview showing Aaron telling Veronica that he killed Lilly so she'd just shut up for once made me giddy.

Oh, and I don't know how he did it, but Aaron totally planted the chlamydia diagnosis so that his attorney could use it on the stand. Veronica never had it.
