I hope you don't think the Twilight Zone remark was directed at you. Your posts are always a pleasure to read, even if I don't agree with them (which doesn't happen often).
I completely understand people not being sold on thinking MS is 100% guilty of 1st degree.
On the other hand, I am completely baffled by people excusing things MS has done, glossing over his other murder charge (because - hey, DM has TWO!), and just generally stretching to make excuses for every piece of evidence against him.
Finally caught up from today, at least until this post.
I admit it felt like the Twilight Zone post was aimed at anyone who doesn't agree 100% MS is straight up lying about, well, pretty much everything. While I still think the MS of 2013 was a vile creep, that would put me in the TZ camp because I don't actually think he's lying about everything.
Much of his testimony comes across as genuinely believable. That whole amnesia stuff about where the gun is, is actually possible. Is it probable? I can't say, but I do know that kind of amnesia is real, despite the fact so many refuse to believe it. So for that reason alone (the fact that it's a real thing that happens), there is reasonable doubt.
If MS was not actually in the vehicle when the murder of Tim Bosma happened, AND he had no idea DM was going to shoot him, I cannot see how he's guilty of 1st degree murder.
I can't really "excuse" anything MS has done since he himself admits he was there to scope out a truck to steal, was a drug dealer, was cruel and violent at least once towards his gf, and was basically a degenerate piece of trash. No excuses there.
I'm not at all glossing over his other 1st degree murder charge but at the same time, no one here has a CLUE what evidence the Crown has on him, in that case. It could be massively circumstantial. I have no idea. No one else does either.
I'm trying hard to focus on what the Crown has on him in this case, and after 74 days (it was 74, wasn't it?) of Sachak's utter nonsense during cross, MS comes out (to me anyway) looking even less guilty of 1st degree murder than he did at the beginning of this trial.
moo. fwiw.
