Judge Fraser
Deputy District Attorney Taren Brast explains to the Jurors what they will have to decide. She thinks and says the State has proven this was 1st degree Murder and that it was premeditated even if it was in a moment. Her job is to disregard the emotional heat of passion feelings, and concentrate on the horrible character and actions of Ali, (as Defense says try to make him into a monster). Prosecution give a rather dispassionate closing, shooting off a straight forward timeline that led up to the murders. Some of her wild projections of Ali's motives I found distracting, but all in all she presented a convincing closing.
Listening to his attorney go over his and Ana's relationship in the beginning, the happy times, when he felt she was the only one for him & felt accepted & loved by her.
Defense - Jodi Green
Attorney Jodi Green's Closing Arguments do go over exactly the definition of a crime of passion. She says provocation is part of it taking it to 2nd and reduces it further with evidence there was a heat of passion . She's trying not to victim blame, but reveals that as a couple they were both immature and constantly on & off messing with each other's minds. MOO, he has a good attorney and she gave great defense Closing. Talking about emotions. She needs to make Jurors see Ali's other side, possibly get them to understand how this could've been a crime of passion.
In Virginia when Ali felt more stable, they owned a house and had a child.
He is going back in time in his mind. His future fate will be in the hands of the Jurors.
