I noticed that one more thing happened in the process of this trial. Initially, the idea was that CoA beat up JO. Now, it seems, there is a certain temporal mismatch, CoA probably left too soon. Before the trial, SODDI's role was assigned to the kids. BA was merely accused of nepotism.
But now, it seems, the defence is shifting its stance. The idea is, BA and his buddy H beat up JO. Logically, it makes zero sense. I thought BA knew JO well, but as I found recently, it wasn't even the case? He was invited by JMc, not BA.
Well, buddy H, at least, might have known JO. If the story is to be believed. Still, not a reason to kill JO who is breaking up with KR. But for BA, who was celebrating his son's birthday, isn't it illogical, to immediately drag a wayward guest into own basement and start pummeling him?
MOO - the basement emerged in the scenario only because BA replaced the carpet in it before selling the house. If instead of the carpet, he replaced the toilet, you bet the theory would be, they beat up JO in the toilet. SODDI defence is flexible. Now, in the course of the process, we heard that the basement had bulkhead doors. I wonder why the prosecution didn't bite into it, because these bulkhead doors just blew apart the whole theory of "basement murder".
The prosecution is weak. The Canton police, IMHO, was uninvolved in the murder but years of lazy complacency are not helping their image.
The Californian lawyer will return home, no doubt, reimbursed as he deserves.
About Yanetti, one wonders if he walked into a questionable zone. He is a part of CW justice system, an interconnected mechanism. Lawyers, judges and prosecutors are not enemies, lawyers may become judges, and vice versa. Yanetti intentionally leaked information about police incompetence in a tiny hamlet of CW to a total outsider. It's not whistleblowing, it is gossip-mongering to prime public opinion. Is it common?
For comparison: IE handled the issue of procedural misconduct in CO (BM case) in court. She didn't feed an ambitious blogger like Tyson Draper, for example, with insider information. BM is lowlife, but his lawyer fights in court with an open visor. To follow bloggers and ticktockers is the job for us, the gullible public.
Trooper Proctor totally ruined the case. My only question is, maybe there were too few detectives around two years ago? (Doesn't explain his behavior at all, but numbers might be intriguing).
