Absolutely! I always feel that the families of the victims are entitled to justice, but they are also entitled to the truth and entitled to have the right person convicted, without doubts. This is a personal opinion, but it's also an opinion based on experience and having a family member said to be brutally murdered.
I think it's hard when you actually care that the right person is convicted and that there is real justice to just be entertained by all this. Real people are impacted by these cases on so many levels. Evidence, actual hard facts, are all we have to guide us. Evidence matters. I just have a hard time seeing this only as a form of entertainment.

BREAK!They DO have "hot water" for their commissary: IE: Their Top Ramen Noodles/Coffee/Hot Chocolate. Don't EVEN get me started on the "things" they can purchase through commissary.
BREAK!
Omg... I was a counselor in an inpatient drug rehab and we had excellent food but they all wanted to make break. Smh. Can't shake some habits I guess.
ETA: Ok excellent may be the wrong word... but you get my point.
IMO, this is far from a form of entertainment. What makes you think that?I think it's hard when you actually care that the right person is convicted and that there is real justice to just be entertained by all this.

Yep, and I'd like to see another case where a totally innocent man was more than willing to give up years of their freedom when they had a constitutional right to opt for a speedy trial instead?

I'm actually reading as a form of education. Learning how people view certain strategies or tactics. Learning what to do or not to do.
Not for entertainment? Something more substantial? I never take pleasure in man's inhumanity to man. Nor do I ever celebrate when someone is found guilty. Any caring human being gets the gravity of these crimes. There are no winners, ever. I would suspect some family members get no real satisfaction. Yes, justice has been served. Those are just words to me. I lost my loved one. Life before and life after. It is what it is.I have worked on a few of them. If the innocent man is being held without bail there isn't much choice.
If his attorney tells him that his odds of acquittal are higher with a delay.... most are going to be okay with a delay. 4 years isn't very long when compared to life in prison or on death row.

Yes, and near the end, it deteriorated into the mutual admiration society. Hearing it made me squirm. I just wanted it to stop.Yes and trying to ingratiate themselves with LE. I noticed right at the beginning of his interview he said something to the female detective like 'you look just like your voice' or wtte and I thought here he goes, probably trying to flatter her.
Simply put, because CM didn’t want the other crimes he committed to be discovered;at least not immediately after the fact. There may be much more that we are not privy to whether it be admissible or otherwise. These murders were clearly acts of rage but time will tell the story hopefully!The more I have come to know the details of the case (and I have come late to it) the more i am convinced the critical question is not how the crime scene was staged but why.
What's the reason to put the bodies in a shallow grave and put the Trooper at the border?
why not just let the bodies be found?
"I am 56, I am an old man. I got into trouble here and there when I was a kid, but I do not have some long criminal history, which is what people have tried to imply."I think in this particular case they want him to be gray headed.
After all from minute one, he has made sure he is old, old, old as dirt. They are trying to match the man when all of his interviews comes in where he says it.
No matter what, he still looks pretty darned healthy anyway. Lol
True, this defense had no other choice than to go with the overused, imo, defense strategy, of SODDI, and they selected DK to be the IT this time.
Actually, it's a pretty typical defense strategy often used.
I've always thought its unwise for any DT to put all of their eggs in one basket.

And she was very attentive to what was being recorded on those cameras. She monitored them closely-it wasn't just a "in-case-of-burglary" concern. She was very concerned. Very.
It's hard to imagine there wasn't more to that story.
I guess that is the human/addict in us as humans? It didn't matter if it was a 1st timer or a career criminal, they wanted their commissary items.
Understanding that you aren't part of Merritt's defense team, but if you were.... reading posts, what would you think right now?
I love reading your posts! LOL
Completely agree
You know what amazes me? If true that he staged the crime scene, the moxie he had to pull that off. How could he be confident that no one would notice? How did he come and go? Where did he park? No doubt he came under cover of darkness, but still how did he go unnoticed? We've heard about the 2 am log on to the computer on Feb 8th. Seems that was refuted in testimony based on poster's observation. I tried to follow but it kept timing out and the youtube channel was more commercials and expert chatter than testimony! I have resisted going back and listening to the testimony in the evening. Would much rather read a good book. LOL. Thankful for the posters that do that. I think he is guilty but waiting to hear all the evidence. At the rate this is going I could be dead in 6 months. Really feel for these jurors.
And I don't think that Fallbrook is the only community in the U.S.ofA, or anywhere else in this world for that matter, where what you describe goes down -Citygirl. Maybe I can give you some answers.
Joey and Summer lived in a rather new and remote subdivision here in California.
It's rare for neighbors to know or visit each other.
Seriously rare.
I've lived in Fallbrook since January 2000.
I've been invited in to exactly 2 houses during all of this time.
People here come home from a long day of work, a long commute, go into their homes and shut the world out.
Maybe that sounds strange to you. But that's actually the way things are here.
I think that it was easy for Chase to move cars around without being noticed.
Very easy. Just my op.

I can attest to that, myself living in the same sort of Socal neighborhood. I really don't pay much attention to what my neighbors are doing. Some (younger folk) have several different cars around their homes, and often in front of mine. If it's night and I do happen to see a vehicle, I'm paying even less attention.Citygirl.

They did. And according to defense opening statements the DA's assertions about monies owed are mistaken.
