Wow. This is cray cray!
Surely his lovely daughter could come up with a few nice things to say about him.
I came across this video on a different site this morning. At the 2:22ish mark.
Is she really saying "he didn't mean it"?
Verdict Reached for Man Suspected of Burying Family of 4 in Calif. Desert
Lie to me once shame on them.
Lie to me twice shame on me.
The DT knows she wasn't believed by the jury in the trial. All DT family members have lost all credibility. The DT would have been better off never calling them in the guilt phase to let the jury see how they all will lie. IMO, a very wrong defense strategy on their part because they damaged their own CIC by calling them in the first place. Now they are left with witnesses the jury knows aren't credible.
You are the best. I am thinking they should call Juanita so she can say he didn't mean it. MOO.
It truly shows the life this convicted murderer has lived when no one else will get up there to plead for his life except those with a vested interest to lie, and have shown the jury they will do just that at any given opportunity.
JMHO
I love MR. She is smart and incredibly professional. Class act all the way. MOO.Today's videos just uploaded
Is it SOP for the DT to request polling the jury?
McGee's request.
All I could think was rubbing more salt in the wound of CM.
Guilty.Guilty. Guilty .
12 x 2.......24 guilty.
What was he thinking ?
I hope there will be an explanation of what she meant by "he didn't mean it," and verification of who "he" is.
It's hard to know for sure what she meant since we don't know the context of the conversation. Imo
So they are having a week off?
Today is Tuesday, so either Wednesday was the correct day, or we wait a week.
I can't imagine anyone from the Merritt clan deviating from the Chase is innocent storyline. Most likely she is referencing Bennetts (sp) verbal outburst toward the media.
This sounds dangerously close to the "it was an accident" excuse we hear all the time.
Yep, he picked up a sledgehammer and beat each of them individually on accident. I'm totally buying it.
I'm sure that's the case in several states and the child of a defendant may be an exception whether I agree with it or not. I suspect in this case it was simply the lackadaisical nature of the judge that allowed it.
There is literally signs on every court room door in the three other states I've been to courtrooms in. They basically say no hats, cell phones have to be silenced, that children are allowed but they must be quiet and not disrupt the proceedings.
I've seen dozens of children over the last few years... newborn - 10 generally. I presume older than that people just leave them home. I disagree with them being in there because I'm in criminal court. You never know what kind of case is going to come up next.
I've only ever seen them asked to leave when it was a closed hearing though. So apparently others disagree with my opinion.![]()
The defense will have no witnesses to present in this phase. I am having trouble understanding why they would make such a decision?

I think Judge Smith made an exception to allow the boy since there is in fact a sign that says no children allowed. I can't remember if it was on the door or in his courtroom or both.
