I don’t plan to see the film. It seems ‘plot-lite’ to me, so this decision has everything to do with spending hard-earned $$ on a mediocre movie and nothing to do with the death of HH and the controversial trials.

Yes 1:00 Mountain Daylight Time = 3:00 Eastern Daylight Time. If the case was being tried in Arizona, it would be a different matter since Arizona does not convert to Daylight savings time. Except on officially designated Native American lands. Which do recognize daylight savings time. It can...

All IMO: The defense is making mountains out of irrelevant molehills. Masters of misdirection, they are likely working with HGR/her lawyers to get her out and basically tank the AB case by somehow proving New Mexico law enforcement (and the FBI) to be small town bumbling idiots. It really would...

I thought the same thing until the witness —MP — said she went out of town to see her dying mother. When my father passed away, I forgot many important things. I’m giving her a pass. Also this is not relevant information to AB pulling the trigger and killing HH. IMO.

This strategy *may* work but it does not work for me. Alec Baldwin pointed and fired a working gun — prop/no prop — At a living human being. And killed her. All this misdirection of the defense does is more firmly take me back to these basic facts.

Why do you think this? I am not seeing it

All IMO. Spiro is not doing his client any favors with his cross-examination of crime scene tech Poppel. The bullying and his sideways testifying during questions is already old. I began this trial thinking AB was in an unfortunate position and if I was on the jury I would acquit him of...

I am already annoyed by AB’s attorney from opening statements. It feels more than a little condescending to me to introduce the Rust set situation as magical. As if the entire cast and crew were engaged in special magical practices which the rest of us — the jury and anybody watching the trial...

Death Row can be very isolating — he will likely be in a cell by himself (no cellmates/bunkies) and not be allowed much interaction with other inmates. At least in a few other US states I am aware of, Death Row is very much like solitary confinement. Which is known to have negative and severe...

The defense is not presenting mitigation factors. My thought is that this is a strategy to appeal the almost certain death sentence. All IMO and I’m not an attorney — but the appeal of the conviction itself is unlikely to be successful. But an appeal of the sentence may be more likely if Prior...

It’s up!

Exactly and brilliantly stated!! Thank you for articulating the importance of the victims’ feelings and their impact statements in this next phase.

OK snarking to follow. When Garth was talking about Tammy’s Quarter Pounder with cheese, I really really wanted the cross-exam to ask ‘And what McDonald’s meal did your father get? Was that very healthy?’ Seriously.

‘Smug CD’ is so annoying. Thank you for the timestamps. I can only watch his face for so long before I am tempted to slap it. He was so fortunate to have a partner who worked so hard to support him and the children. The entire family is throwing Tammy under the bus and CD is so not worth the...

So no testimony from Chad nor Julie Rowe. Whew. Julie Rowe’s testimony would have been entertaining for sure, but I do not believe the truth and whole truth is something she is able to *discern,* let alone reliably express. Chad not testifying is not surprising, though I was kind of looking...

The pictures I’ve seen of Sammy are so full of his light. I am so very sorry for his family’s loss. But also for the rest of us. Who knows what he could have done or been in the world? And how tragic that future has been lost to all of us. His father was quoted in a people article (linked...

Now that the defense is winding down: does anybody think Chad will testify on his own behalf?

I will believe Garth’s assertion that LE/prosecution tried to get him to change his testimony after the cross-examination supports this. The whole thing sounds like more of Chad’s ‘Law Enforcement is Dark! They are all against us and our great mission! Also they are zombies. And carry poison...

I’m certain Chad and Prior don’t want the *children* to hear the hard evidence of his guilt. In my experience with closely related felony murderers, hard evidence was one of the 2 things that broke through the wall of my denial. The other thing was when my nephew actually confessed to me...

I’m furious. At Emma for throwing her mother under the bus. For her obvious lies. For believing the cult-Chad-BS. She is so special in the post-apocalyptic world! As for her flat effect — she has shown who she is from the very first interview. Tammy got absolutely no support from her...
