Eeesh. I found the arguments within the mistrial application to be quite telling.
The whole motion has left me feeling uneasy, and I can't exactly put my finger on it. So bear with me while I work through this.
I think its that it shows that DM and MS, are both lying little *****s, who know LB is dead, and that they both had something to do with it. It's like they both had to have clarification ahead of time that neither were going to point the finger, and say "he did it".
But now DM is in a tizzy, because of how TD worded his closing. He's saying "If I knew that was going to be your angle, I would have changed my story! We had an agreement, you broke it!"
It's like he's admitting, these are just stories. That defence tactics are just that, and they have the ability to tailor their stories accordingly. It's not that I'm surprised, I know they are both lying, but it's just unsettling to actually hear (read?) out loud in the courtroom. The Babcock's must feel immense frustration.
Am I making sense?
