Thanks again Emi for all the updates! Does anyone have a prediction for the verdict? I feel Godejohn will be found guilty........but 1st degree or less?? I think it will be 1st degree murder.

Hoping for a first degree murder verdict as well

 

[Zella]

Been glued to this case. I have a friend and former boss who was scammed by Dee Dee years ago before the murders. We've been trading updates all week.

I think it will be 1st degree. I agree with the defense that he is impaired to some extent and likely was manipulated; however, I saw no indication that he was ultimately anything but a willing participant or that he was so impaired he couldn't do what he was accused of or didn't understand what he is doing.

 

[Jewels53]

Verdict is in!

I also think it will be 1st degree.
It didn’t matter if Gypsy talked him into it, it didn’t matter how her mother treated her, this was about what he did.
I still think Gypsy got off easy, it should have mattered about what she did.

I was more sympathetic to her before this trial. I feel sorry for the abuse she endured, but I don't think she is quite as innocent as she has made herself out to be.
