"One unbelievable part of this story was that not only had Kallista taken off with Charlise, she had apparently cut a square of bloodied ground and taken that with her.Short snippet here :
How a jury rejected Justin Stein's murder story as a pack of lies
In his month long trial which has ended with his conviction for the murder of nine-year-old schoolgirl Charlise Mutten, Justin Stein was the most mild-mannered of liars - but the jury didn't believe him.www.dailymail.co.uk
This was an unnecessarily invented narrative to explain why bloodied grass and dirt was found with Charlise in the barrel.
But Stein overstepped on the barrel story too. Instead of possibly claiming he had a pact with Kallista to dispose of the body, he attested she had secretly placed the body in the barrel.
He said she had lifted the child up in the barrel, lashed the barrel to the ute with special ties, and put the tarpaulin securely over the top.
It was an elaborate story, and in the dying minutes of his cross -examination, one that was unravelling.
The jury took more than 35 hours over eight days spread across three weeks to reach its verdict.
Jurors asked for the transcripts of the testimonies of eight witnesses - Justin Stein, Kallista Mutten, Annemie Stein, the chief cop, two of Annemie's staff and two medical examiners."
I'm so glad he was stupid enough to tell such an unbelievable vision of the story----saying Kallista cut the patch of grass out before she took the body and put it into the barrel herself, lifted it all into the ute and put the tarp on it ---never telling him about it at all----all of that in the 5 to 10 minutes he had stepped into the shed----supposedly right after he saw KM shoot her daughter...NONE OF THE ABOVE MAKES ANY SENSE
