Defense using semantic logic saying #PhilipChism didnt take Ritzer's credit cards "from her person" since it was in her bag in her classroom
Julie Manganis ‏@SNJulieManganis 53s53 seconds ago
Defense: "It's not like he used force" to take the cards

State attorney David O'Sullivan says thats not an argument to avail #PhilipChism because he still took them from her vicinity using violence
I wonder if Chism is visiting with Dr. Dudley again while this is going on? Probably not, it's too late to use in trial at this point.
OMG, the defense actually argued that,'It's not like he used force' to take the cards". Oh, no force there, just stabbing and strangling, otherwise she would just have handed them over and told him to go to a movie. Crimminy.
