How can we forget? Imes brings it up whenever he opens his mouthLest we forget they have a team of cameras following them for a documentary.

He did it again today ...
Imes continually brought up the subject of following cameras at the same time he was doing his prosecutorial thing? Wow, I wonder how he managed to do that. Must have the gift of gab big time. But then, he is a lawyer .......How can we forget? Imes brings it up whenever he opens his mouth![]()

Also, his courtroom is in California .............................I've watched a lot of trials but have never seen a documentary being filmed during the trial. I'd like to say I'm surprised the judge allowed it, but he's shown us he runs a pretty loose courtroom.

well, he just clarified something that I thought I heard the judge say this morning.. that the defense doesn't have to prove anything LOL they don't have to give an alibi, etc. I still want to hear the words of the judge again, but it was something that took me off guard when listening to jury instructions ..

But the State has to PROVE guilt. The defense doesn't have to prove anything, right? What did McGee say? They could sit over there and play cards all day if they wanted to? LOL
For a defense that doesn’t have to prove anything. They sure have spent a hella lot of time trying to muddy the water.
Heck its been proven in some no body murder convictions....
Bodies were found in this case and CM Cell phone places him at the site
Some cases have crime scenes some don't
I believe the mountains of circumstantial evidence in this case was able to prove to the jury that nobody other than CM committed these crimes
<modsnip: quoted post was removed>
I can get past the truck. I can get past the "not going in" to the residence with Mike McStay. I can get past the pings/no pings, no alibi. I can even get past the not reporting them missing. I can get past the "were they murdered in the house or in the desert?" The dogs being fed/not fed. Summer liking/hating Chase and vice versa. All of that.
I just can't get past the lack of calling Joey right after he disappeared, given CM and JM's calling patterns. If that was the only thing riding on my decision, I'd think he wasn't guilty BARD. It's the cancelling of the Quickbooks account. Pretending to be JM to cancel something, considering there were contracts outstanding, vendors with balances, customers with balances. There was no evidence brought forth that there was to be an account migration, or how the vendors would be paid, customers would be invoiced etc. You just don't shut down an active company account when you have all of this business going on. And why would you have multiple cheques made out to yourself when your boss had just given you one that you deposited?
And why would all of this activity occur, and then be backdated to the 4th specifically? If this was all legit, approved by Joey, why not any other day on the calendar other than the day he goes missing? I can't see that as coincidence. He backdated them for a reason. He backdated them because he knew Joey and Summer's phones were not going to show any normal activity after that. What he didn't know was how long it would take people to discover they were missing. If he dated them for the 6th and they were reported missing on the 5th, he would be caught. He had no choice but to backdate them. He couldn't be sure there wouldn't be an immediate search, or what was going to happen in the first few days after he murdered them.
It's too bad he didn't call Joey constantly, like he had before he gone missing. He would have seemed more believable. He made himself a suspect by doing things out of the ordinary. And he would have got away with it, if it hadn't been for those pesky unaligned cheques.
BBM, ITA there is no other explanation for the backdating that CM's guilt for what he had done in JM's accounts. And in trying to cover up his crime i believe he also knew JM was not coming back.My top line thoughts:
Imes did a great job of telling the story with a day to day flow as the defendant did the murders, dumped the bodies, forged cheques, dumped the trooper, cleaned up etc.
This is powerful because as explained its not just the 4th where Chase lacks an alibi. He lacks an alibi for all of the key times over 5 days. Context context.
Second, i think the photo of the cell towers commanding the gravesites nailed it for me. I know he probably was on the road and not at the graves but it just felt like a big moment.
Third - the cheques business. When you talk through it blow by blow, now that we know the detail, there can be no explanation other than fraud. We've talked about it forever, but it was nevertheless impressive to hear someone walk thru it.
I find it significant that neither the defence nor any poster here has an explanation for the backdating.
Imes was laser sharp - there can be only one reason Chase did it.
