So far I am disappointed in the prosecution case. I hope they get their act together as the witnesses comes across as very unprepared and surely they have had months to go though anything to get them ready for this trial?
I'm sorry to know you are already disappointed so soon in the prosecutors case with months of testimony to go.
I'm not disappointed in them at all. I am sure by now or the further the trial goes along the jury will figure out the prosecution has been handed a much harder case because of the ridiculous unsupported theory held by the SD police that this family had just willingly left leaving behind 100K in the bank and traipsed off to Mexico without ever having any proof to support it.
But harder cases have been won. Now even missing body cases are being successfully won on a regular basis and in those they dont have any forensic nor know the location of crime scene or how the victims were murdered since the bodies weren't found.
So I'm very optimistic at this point .
They do have far more in this case than others that have resulted in convictions.
LE in SD has made it a much harder case to try especially when all family members were telling them this was NOT their family. By doing that by the time their bodies were discovered so much evidence was lost!
The McStay and Summer McStay families have been victimized not only by CM murdering 4 of their beloved family members but he wants his mouthpiece attorneys to do it again during their aggressive tactics.
Its revolting as when David Westerfield used his own mouthpiece attorney to berate and falsely accuse the parents of Daniele Van Dam when all along Steve Feldman KNEW DW was the one who had kidnapped, raped and murdered DVD. He had already told SF where her body was located. He pulled every dirty trick in the book trying to make sure he got a sexual predator free and back on the streets. Thank goodness the jury saw right through his rude...aggressive bully tactic of smoke and mirrors.
In this case it must drive the families crazy knowing they knew their own 4 family members better than anyone else on earth yet weren't believed.
I cant even begin to know how angry and how much pain that has caused all of these family members.
But even though its a harder case due to SD LE it is still very much a winnable case.
I dont see how anyone can know the state is not proving their case though when not even a week of testimony has occurred. I sure don't give up that easily on the state when it just began.
But I will admit sometimes I get a very strange uneasy feeling in this particular case/trial that some are already in the corner for the accused even before the trial began and before all of the evidence has been presented.
I've not seen such disdain before I don't think nor can I remember where other grieving family members of murder victims have been vilified by some when testifying for the prosecution who is only seeking justice.
I remember someone even calling Susan Blake a liar after her heart wrenching testimony this week. I was taken aback by the callousness of the label when she continued to be victimized by CM even after he had already murdered 4 of her family members. You would think the anger would be directed against CM the evildoer instead of a still obviously very traumatized mother and grandmother.
So for some reason this trial and some comments are far different than the countless others I've participated in for over a decade.
As each piece of evidence continues to come in for many months on end against CM, I do not believe for one minute the jury will just believe they are ALL merely coincidences!
Praying for justice.
