Justice for Liz Barraza
Did the state prove that the defendant was not acting in self-defense when she shot and killed Douglas Benefield? moo
Interesting question. IANAL yet I don’t think the state would need to prove that theory. They need only prove what actions by the defendant resulted in the death of the victim? The defense would need perhaps to present their evidence to either counter the state’s position or put forth their evidence and theory for their client. MOODid the state prove that the defendant was not acting in self-defense when she shot and killed Douglas Benefield? moo
This judge is so good. He seems to just roll with whatever happens.OMG…. so defense didn’t have their first witness subpoenaed? And that individual has watched proceedings until defense counsel requested otherwise? And counsel just advised the court of this? SMH. MOO
As someone I know dearly would say…… ‘that is because there is no plan’. Yet in fairness, IMO the prosecutor has been on her game despite all the ‘moves’ by the defense counsel. MOOThe "plan" for this trial seems to change every 5 minutes.
If she doesn’t testify, she has no chance of an acquittal - IMOMaybe the defendant is not testifying after all? moo
Unbelievable isn't it?OMG…. so defense didn’t have their first witness subpoenaed? And that individual has watched proceedings until defense counsel requested otherwise? And counsel just advised the court of this? SMH. MOO
Did the jury hear about her allegations of abuse and sexual abuse?
I think she ordered her attorney from TEMUUnbelievable isn't it?
That’s what I thought -As far as I know, those issues weren't addressed in much detail because there was no basis in fact of any of her allegations. Her lies are non issues. All I have seen so far is a very conniving woman trying to make an obsessed man look really bad.Who doesn't even tell their legal husband when their child is born and does her best to not even let him see his daughter that she didn't even give his name to. As I mentioned before, so much of the goings on between these two has been suppressed that it is hard to actually follow this case and know about all the false allegations that went nowhere.
No defense in my view. The three locks on the weapon she shot him with and then the other two loaded guns hidden in different places in the house and the mother and baby being gone make me believe she planned to eliminate him when he came to help her pack up the van. Then with AB's mother having the attorney ready to talk with the LE transporting AB to be interviewed right after the shooting really struck me wrong.That’s what I thought -
She really doesn’t have a defense…
