Question for those with more legal knowledge than myself, as I have zero clue how this would work,but if they jury found MS not guilty of first degree, can the crown pursue a lesser charge of second degree at that point? Or can the jury assign that charge in place of first degree? Thanks.
He may not have had to pull the trigger himself to be found guilty of first degree murder, but he did need to know ahead of time that it would be pulled, so to speak.
I agree completely with this. I feel like he was there, even if not in the immediate vicinity at the time of the shooting, but definitely helped with the cleanup and coverup. I'm just not sure he's guilty of first degree murder as it's defined.
While I think MMs testimony will definitely implicate MS and his involvement, I also have a feeling it will be worse for DM. I think a picture will be painted of DM being the mastermind so to speak, and that MS just happened to be around the situation, thinking they were just stealing a truck...
I'm curious about what "lies were told"? My guess is that AM and MH had a pact of sorts to not speak about the backpack or toolbox upon dropping it off . It would explain why MH spent so log lying to LE. Then down the road he finds out that AM told the truth straight away, thus making him look...
Agreed, I kind of expected today to end up a full day of legal arguments, based on missing the time on Thursday that had been set aside - but it's clear that today's arguments are based on something that came up unexpectedly. Could be contact that was not allowed, or perhaps AM is changing his...
Agree completely. I think it comes down to their ability or inability to prove that AM and MH actually KNEW they were disposing of the murder weapon. To me, the charge against CN tells me that they have proof that she knew what she was hiding and why. MOO.
Initially I didn't think too much about them, mostly because I too have a reusable shopping bag in my closet with 4 or 5 old cell phones. But after thinking about it, I wonder if these are how MS was linked to the LB disappearance? Perhaps some old text messages on one of those old, forgotten...
I don't believe she did. According to exhibit 37 in this link

It shows texts to "Scott" so I assume we will find out who he is at some point?
I voted guilty for DM but can't do the same for MS quite yet.
I'm curious to see how the defence presents their case. I think each will finger the other as the shooter ("I had no idea he was going to do THAT! I thought we were just stealing the truck!") MOO
