I felt the reference, by both the PT and Judge Smith, to Chase being a burglar and a felon, was far more egregious. That cannot be presented to the jury until the penalty phase.

The verdict has not come in yet on this case. The Colony trial accomplished some of the remedies you mentioned. Remember CM has been incarcerated for a long time, so changes have occurred. jmho

It isn't a Cliff Notes case. It has so many nuances and peripheral crimes and characters that it requires some serious studying. I've followed it since the beginning, the trial should be very interesting.

Do we know if the building has large trash chutes and/or large dumpsters?

I believe they are doing an excellent job and focusing the attention on the lack of PT evidence connecting CM to murder.

Missy is already enlightened and using her logical thinking skills. :D:D

Welcome to the thread and the discussion! What you have mentioned is just one of the reasons I believe the Prosecution's case has not been proven BARD.

I don't recall @missy1974 or the DT claiming who the guilty party(ies) are. What I have seen is several non-biased comments regarding the failure of the PT to prove the statements made in their OS. I have seen a complete lack of "support" for Chase or his criminal history. If there had been...

I'm not trying to rehash all of the information we have discussed, however if someone close to the investigation, victims or perpetrator altered facts or evidence at the beginning of the search it is an avenue to explore.

BBM That is my point, who was on desk duty that night or who was the contact at the phone company? Have they been properly vetted? One of the problems with being in a small community is familiarity can prevent protocol from being followed.

There are other ways to silence potential witnesses. You can "buy" their compliance with drugs, alcohol, etc. If they are addicted their thinking is already compromised and if their supplier threatens to stop providing, or they know turning them in will stop their pipeline, most (particularly...

That is one of the reasons I've always been troubled by the comment regarding the cellphone "pinging all over town". Was that an intentional statement to mislead LE and the search groups?

My concern is whether someone who was trusted, or in an authority position, destroyed or compromised critical evidence. <modsnip - rumor> jmo

It has no shortage of despicable characters! I have been impatiently waiting for it to go to trial. I'm still not convinced anything will start during 2019, because MS and his attorneys will pull every possible delaying tactic out of their "bag of tricks".

I'm ready for this trial to go to the jury...

Wow, I hope you have solid proof of perjury. Did you listen to his testimony? I did and I believe he had a much clearer video than we can see on our computer screen. He described what he sees and thinks quite clearly. You have made a serious charge against an expert witness. jmo imo

I'm aware of the disagreement between CM and DK and I'm not disputing that. However, it happened AFTER CM made his statement to DuGal, therefore it had no relevance. jmo

Wow, that's some creative writing... Chase made that statement to DuGal during his first voluntary interview following the disappearance. jmo

If I am a juror, and I'm keeping it real, I'll be paying close attention to the concrete evidence in the case. The jurors already requested to see the actual truck. Rudin did the original data on the Mitchley video, but the Prosecution decided against using him because they didn't like his...

Really, are we writing a novel or are we stating the facts of this trial and the evidence, pro or con, for sending a man to death row. jmo smh
