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

[la2cabo]

Which job was it that Merritt wrote checks to himself showing completion before the job was done?

The Saudi job, if I remember correctly.

today from the excusal of Juror #5 forward to deliberations

 

[travelbug]

They might get sanctioned. But it's more likely they will be yelled at in chambers and that will be that.

I felt the reference, by both the PT and Judge Smith, to Chase being a burglar and a felon, was far more egregious. That cannot be presented to the jury until the penalty phase.

I thought the defense allowed that?

 

[LadyL]

are they deliberating until 4:30 today?

 

[la2cabo]

Hundreds of miles away? What about the fallacy of just being wrong and argumentative?

Lol. From Fallbrook to Victorville it's barely 100 miles.

Mea culpa. Some 70 miles, not affecting my point made.

The judge said the jury gets to decide their hours (within reason).

Oh. I didn't realize you were attempting to make a point. Still 70 miles is a long way from "hundreds" of miles.

Repeated commitment of fallacy of Diversion. The original issue was CM's crying or not crying. Is he supposed to cry? Either way, those committing the Confirmation Bias say it confirms his alleged guilt.

And your confirmation bias tells you he didn't cry today because of the unfair members criticising him in these threads?

 

[LadyL]

The judge said the jury gets to decide their hours (within reason).

yeah I remembered that after I posted
I'm trying to decide whether to stay up for another hour+

Disneyland to Pechanga is exactly 70 miles. : )

If only those in the other camp could ever admit they ever made mistakes.

 

[citygirl]

Didn’t we ponder this way back when we considered whether or not CM ever went to Saudi Arabia? Was the SA deal a complete farce? More lies...

I'm thinking the only testimony about this was from CJ?
She said she drove him to the airport.

 

[Recidivist]

It wasn't a mistake. It was an exaggeration.

 

[wary]

And your confirmation bias tells you he didn't cry today because of the unfair members criticising him in these threads?

Now, there could be some truth to that—that he didn’t cry because he realized that it wasn’t really helping him.

I assume you're referring to the defense team?

I looked this up early in the trial, it was actually easier than you would think LOL The rules were a bit more relaxed I think if you were going over there for work, and that was all he was allowed to do, no travelling or sight seeing while there IIRC Forms had to be completed and submitted beforehand, it looked like a pain in the bum.

But didn't he claim to meet some of the Taliban ? Not in testimony but a missive to CJ? He thought they were nice guys.
MOO.

I remember that email to her and thought to myself that he caught a plane to Vegas and was hitting the casinos. How would anyone know the difference?
