Johnson: Why would Bluhm delete things from his cell? "My guess is he deleted a photo of Mrs. Bletsch on the side of the road."

Johnson: believes Bletsch maybe slowed down jogging when she recognized someone she knew (Bluhm from kids' soccer), and Bluhm shot her

Thanks so much UndiscoveredTruth. Do you think there is enough reasonable doubt about Bluhm’s involvement preventing a unanimous verdict against Willis?

#JeffreyWillis - Just like in their opening statements, in closings the defense says Kevin Bluhm killed #RebekahBletsch.

Thanks so much UndiscoveredTruth. Do you think there is enough reasonable doubt about Bluhm’s involvement preventing a unanimous verdict against Willis?

Hi :wave: Yes, unfortunately I (personally) do think there is enough reasonable doubt, especially when reading what you've quoted. Mind you, the closing statements aren't evidence but still, when you hear it like the jurors do, they are left with those thoughts.

Johnson: Willis has "creepiness" going on and "disgusting *advertiser censored*," no alibi, "they hit the mother load with my client" he says police believe

Willis kept the gun because he didn’t know it was used in a crime, defense says @WOODTV #WillisonTrial

The greatest leap of all is that Willis chose the object of Bluhm’s obsession to murder, says defense. @WOODTV #WillisonTrial

[video=twitter;926160903317409794]https://twitter.com/DanaChicklas/status/926160903317409794[/video]

Johnson: "Perhaps the biggest leap of all" is saying Willis killed Bletsch who was his cousin Bluhm's "obsession"

Johnson: details of Jessica Heeringa case & picture of Bletsch in ambulance "doesn't tell you who shot Mrs. Bletsch" it's "emotional weight"

[video=twitter;926161609227210753]https://twitter.com/DanaChicklas/status/926161609227210753[/video]

Hilson: No evidence that Kevin Bluhm killed Rebekah Bletsch; their kids played soccer, him looking at her FB profile is not "obsessed"

[video=twitter;926164018695458816]https://twitter.com/DanaChicklas/status/926164018695458816[/video]

Hilson: "I've never seen pure evil, this is pure evil," Willis has no problem lying, it doesn't phase him. Willis killed Rebekah Bletsch.

Surely Hilson's seen pure evil before....during his career I mean! He's saying Willis has no problem lying, but you know, pretty sure he's seen pure evil before Willis.. :doh: How many cases has he been involved in during his career? :thinking:

#JeffreyWillis - VERDICT WATCH. The jury is now deliberating.

[video=twitter;926173516420009987]https://twitter.com/ReporterBartonD/status/926173516420009987[/video]

The jury sets its own schedule. They can decide to go home at 5 or deliberate into the night. @WOODTV #WillisonTrial
 
I think Circuit Judge William Marietti gave some of the best oral jury instructions I have heard. He was clear about weighing the truthfulness and testimony of the witnesses, the role of the opening and closing statements, how the jury is to begin -- from the perspective of innocence and then careful weighing of evidence. Impressive.
