I can't think of any part of SL's "evidence" that's been proven to be true or completely accurate. I know the defense doesn't have to "prove" anything, just create reasonable doubt. But it really is disturbing when you think about the PILE of things he has either done or said that are either proven to be totally impossible, an outright lie, a "he said, she said, scenario (when conveniently the "she" is now dead and can't confirm or deny) how actions don't match words, or just leave you saying to yourself, "wait a minute!".
For example:
There's a stalker after your wife.
Action: Don't lock the doors
There's a stalker after your wife.
Action: Don't buy her a new remote so she can enter the garage safely with YOUR daughter.
You have a fight for your life on the sofa:
Action: You don't scream for your wife to bring the 40-caliber to blow the guy into next week. Rather you stay so quiet, your light sleeping wife doesn't even wake up. And you are so cooperative with this attacker, you don't even kick your blanket and remote off the sofa.
Your attacker drags you into daughter's room
Action: He somehow accomplishes this by weaving SL's body past all the obstacles that lay on the floor between the living room and the bedroom. Then somehow manages to zip tie SL without leaving any DNA on the tie.
This attacker is in the home having a struggle with SL, dragging him around the house, tying him up, and shoots Melinda.
Actions: The baby is (according to police) completely calm. The dogs did not bark. And SL somehow could not get to his feet to unlock the door to let the police in the room.
SL calls 911
Actions - He screams and yells incoherently into the phone. And according to his own words, doesn't know if the intruders are still there or not. Then he hangs up on 911 and calls his brother for 90 seconds. He then waits 5-6 minutes and calls 911 back. This time he says, "They took my wife, they shot my wife." Again, he has not left the baby's room. He has not gone to check on Melinda.

THIS (for me) is the biggest problem for SL. I am thinking of being scared to death having just been attacked and dragged into my baby's room and heard a gun shot. I don't know who, if anyone is still in my house. SOMEHOW, I have access to my cell phone and can call 911. The first thing I am going to do is call AS QUIETLY AS POSSIBLE for fear my attacker might hear me make the call. Even being completely petrified, I believe I could get the needed information required to the dispatcher in order to get help to me and my family as soon as possible. The LAST THING I would do is hang up on 911 and call someone else.
The other huge problem for me is that blanket and remote on the sofa. Had he had a real fight, those items would have been on the floor and that room would have LOOKED LIKE THERE HAD BEEN a fight.
I am praying for this jury to use their common sense.
