VERDICT WATCH Closing Arguments- Chase Merritt Charged W/Murder of Joseph, Summer, Gianni and Joe Jr McStay

[la2cabo]

So, DK would not be able to do this undetected, but CM would be? Perplexing logic, please explain?

It would be difficult to fly back and forth from HI undetected AND get a former girlfriend to alibi him AND have proof his bank card was used numerous while in HI.

"Who benefited from these murders?" Certainly not Chase Merritt.

Murdering Joey kept him out of prison for quite some time. Plus, he had pockets full of money to blow at the casinos.

Me too!

So you think someone would torture and murder a family of 4 in order to be "out of prison for quite some time"? There's got to be an easier, better way.

I'm so nervous!!

Why?

Just listening to Ime's this afternoon.
He is hitting it out of the park.
Can't wait to hear from JM and RM.

Yes, like don't become a two timed felon in the first place, and don't embezzle from your business partner.

Is the juror that can't stay past May 30th still there? Sounds like chances are he/she will be replaced?

I don't think that's the only reason he killed them. It goes much deeper than that.

Your claim was that DK sneaked home from Hawaii and then returned, undetected. How? Swimming?

CM only has to sneak back and forth from the Rancho Cucamonga area, a much simpler task.

Hmmmm.
CM: no alibi.
DK: alibi, witness, pics, purchase with bank card, phone use

Sounds like they arrested the right person.

I along with many others don't think so, take this fact and extrapolate it to the jury, what do you have?

rsbm

Hitting it out of the park into the ditch.

Well you said it's part of the reasons. So I'm questioning the part.

Well I along with many others do think so. Lol The jury will give us their opinion soon enough.

Past criminal history, especially non-violent, has no role in deciding guilt/no-guilt.

Correct. I was addressing your statement about easier ways to stay out of prison.

Hopefully, before his next trial, he'll learn the difference between a park and a courtroom.

Hung, I don't know who this benefits, probably no one.
