I agree. He looked soooo smug all day today! Looked confident, half smiling, smug. Just evil.I really think he thought he was gonna get away with it by the way he joked with the judge about just wanting to go home.
I wonder if the Judge wanted to say something like "Your children want their mother to come home."I really think he thought he was gonna get away with it by the way he joked with the judge about just wanting to go home.
OHOHOHOHOHOH! *Waving hands frantically* .
Doesn't a defendant have the right to speak at their sentencing?!?!
Dare we look forward to hearing some self-serving ****?
ETA: I apologize to WS Mods for having to **** my word when I let one fly like that. I'll be more careful in the future. : peace :

Usually takes 15-18 yrs to complete all DP appeals and actually be put to death. Maybe some sick FL state of Fl corrections employee can schedule CWW release same day as MS execution
I don’t know if this is controversial but to me a stoic defendant when a guilty verdict is read is a guilty defendant. No way does a wrongfully accused defendant not faint or lose composure when a guilty verdict is read!
It’s like that old adage that says a guilty suspect has no problem getting a good nights sleep in jail.
I know what you're saying, I've seen some who don't bat an eye and take it as if it was expected and no big deal even though they've "been wrongfully convicted and they're innocent".I don’t know if this is controversial but to me a stoic defendant when a guilty verdict is read is a guilty defendant.

BBM. Did he actually do anything in the trial?I was watching the verdict on Court TV. Prior to the jury coming in, the atty on the other side of Mark (not Mummert) said, stay stoic no matter what happens. He actually repeated it a couple of times. Mark was crying for himself...that he was finally caught and seen for who he really is. Nothing to do with being wrongfully accused IMO.

I didn't watch every second but I didn't see any contribution to the proceedings.
From the trial point of view he just basically babysat Mummert because he was DP qualified and Mummert isn't. I'm struggling to think of any conferring between Mummert and DP qualified attorney (I've forgotten his name). There was no communication between them that I can remember.
ETA: And babysat Mark too.
Those poor girls! Collateral damage to him I am sure but more victims to us. Inexcusable! God Bless them and their families.I wonder if the girls will give a victim impact statement.. I doubt it, but maybe.
Oh I definitely think he will speak....sniffling....."I love my wife (fake cry)....I love my kids (maybe real cry).....I don't know how this happened....."......sits down.
I thought there was more evidence presented in the JRR case and was pretty confident that he would be found guilty of 1st degree murder and conspiracy. With that as my gauge, I was very cautious in this trial with less connection of MS to the actions of CWW and JRR. It goes to show that juries read things differently (in this case a good thing) and that the strength of the evidence can interpreted with varying degree. I found the prosecuting team a bit lack luster in each case given what I have seen at other trials but they did get the job done. I just wish that JRR was a 1st degree murder conviction.
I agree but they have a strong and honest support system on the maternal side. IMOThose poor girls! Collateral damage to him I am sure but more victims to us. Inexcusable! God Bless them and their families.
ETA Although I’m grateful for the guilty verdict I hate what his girls will endure this holiday season as I’m certain this year will be even worse. Ugh
