JMO but I'm no more concerned with the specifics of this case and circumstances than I am with other cases. Other than wanting this monster convicted and sentenced.
The state's case is very strong (IMO) and the defense has done nothing to help JA's case. They have done nothing whatsoever to show she was a battered woman or that self-defense was necessary, so they HAVE to put on some kind of case in chief. They absolutely have to put on witnesses to create an alternate theory and that will allow a rebuttal. But the cross by the state and the rebuttal will give Juan two more opportunities to do what he does best.
