If that was the case why did they not renew their application for a change of venue during jury selection? I recall in the Ross Harris trial as they approached the end of jury selection it became clear that they could not get an impartial jury due to the amount of publicity the case had received in the local area. The judge granted an application for a change of venue at that point.

The fact is the defence questioned each juror and was happy with them. They had the power to refuse a juror and did, many times. The 14 people that were settled on were approved by both defence teams.

All IMO

Completely agree!
 
Completely agree!

I find the logic (no pun intended!) of some of her supporters completely ludicrous. It is the fault of the Judge for not moving the case; this caused untoward bias to her and TM. They forget that it was the defence lawyers who went running to the news every chance they got. It was the defence lawyers who appeared on Nancy Grace. It was ME who gave interviews both in the states and Ireland. They are the people who were drumming up publicity for the case! Plus, the media reports in the local area were, IMO, completely biased in favour of the defence.

Stephan, criminal law - and especially criminal law from a different jurisdiction - would not be my strongpoint. The appeals procedure is much different from what I am used to. The process can be found at http://www.ncdoj.gov/Help-for-Victims/Crime-Victims/Criminal-Appeals-Process.aspx

What is clear is that no new evidence will be admitted and no witnesses will be called. They will simply argue that, when the judge refused their various applications or denied their objections, this was incorrect. I personally found the judge very fair so do not think the appeal will be successful. As you state, things will make more sense when we have the transcript of the hearing.

The two big arguments will be the omission of SC and JC(jr)'s statements and the MF discussion.

I think the judge was quite clear when ruling on the children's statements. He stated that given there were multiple discrepancies in the various interviews they did, it was his ruling that they did not meet the threshold of truthfulness that would be required for admission. He also stated they had both recanted their statements. I do not think the appellate judges will come to a different decision.

In regards to the MF conversation. I cannot see the appellate court differing from the trial judge. How could a judge allow evidence where, firstly, TM is unable to state when the conversation took place and, secondly, where there is a sworn affidavit from MF stating the conversation had never taken place.

MM and TM's video interviews were not entered into evidence at the trial, the voice recording of JC's raising his voice was not entered into evidence at the trial so these things cannot be relied upon in the appeal. They can argue that the judge was wrong in not allowing the children's interviews to be admitted, however, i think their argument is weak.

All IMO
The only thing I can see could have a chance of going anywhere would be the motion for a change of venue. That is always a coin toss on appeals. Since the def Attys stated they would be filing 1 joint appeal that eliminates the motion that was denied allowing TM's co-worker to testify to the "hate" comment. Basically they will use the old throw it against the wall and hope something sticks method. Object to everything during trial and Appeal every decision that went against them. I think the Judge did an excellent job but my only concern was that he called recess a few times to check the law on some objections. Once was the co-worker and once was the children's statement that I remember specifically.

Also the comment made by the jury foreman about his wife not agreeing with his opinion on the verdict. That meant he ignored the judges instructions not to discuss the case with anyone including other jurors during the trial phase.

Could the wife's disagreement have been made immediately after the verdict?

Yeah, I remember hearing him saying that and it stood out to me the same was that it has done to you. Suppose he could explain it as he wife passed comment and he did not discuss but it would have been better to have not been said.
 
I don't know quite how to phrase this but the biggest mysteries in this case to me are TM and SM. I mean...I "get" MM. I can figure out her motivations and factor in her possessiveness with a heaping helping of her bipolar disease and paranoia on top.

But I cannot figure out TM and SM. TM has no prior history of being a doting protective Father. He was grubbing money out of poor KM for rent, while KM cared for his very sick daughter. He sent her off to Ireland straight from a mental ward, and never visited once to see how her health was or what her living circumstances were. This just does not compute with the Daddy Savior that he is trying to project at this point. He will die in jail now for decisions he made. He will be separated from his cancer stricken wife when she needs him most.

What made them jump in the car and drive down there? What drove him to get involved either with the killing or the coverup? i just can't believe this was all for his "princess." I think that's a crock.

And SM. She supposedly stayed in the bedroom, but she didn't stay with the story for even 24 hours. How could she ever participate in the quest for MM custody...knowing what she knew of MM's history? I mean, she's supposed to be rational, unlike her daughter.

Why not say..Our daughter needs help. After conviction they had to whip out her psychiatric history. How and why did they become involved?
 
Do we know when they were interviewed by ABC? Was it the same day as the verdict...that night...the next morning? i think there's plenty of room for that juror to have had a discussion with his wife..

As for the change of venue, the local press was totally in the bag for MM. The article on the day of jury selection reporting the false story about Mr. FitzP but refusing to include his legal denial.

The clip I heard/saw him saying it was outside the court so it was the day of the verdict. But plenty of time for him to have spoken to his wife since they actually delivered the verdict tho. If I can find the clip I will post it.
 
Let&#8217;s first put to bed issues not relevant.

1 JC first wife died from an asthmatic attack. Her sister was in the JC home that night. What was the sister doing in the house one may ask? When JC got married he and his wife stayed in a rented house rented by his wife&#8217;s sister and husband, house sharing. This was to allow him save up to buy a house. When he bought a house he and his wife insisted the same sister and husband come stay with them so they could save for a house. This same sister often babysat for the C babies and was very much attached to them. Also the medical professionals are 100% sure JC first wife died from an asthmatic attack and the result of it and there was never a cloak over her death.



2 MF stated in a sworn affidavit he never told TM he had any suspicions on his daughter&#8217;s deaths and the F family are fully satisfied that she died from an asthmatic attack. And TM initially stated that MF told him this at the MM-JC wedding which he wasn&#8217;t at. TM changed the story once again when he became aware of the facts.

3 The story of the murder scene purveyed by the Ms&#8217; is lie after lie. Just like the DA for Davidson County I don&#8217;t believe JC was involved in any assault on MM and secondly like the DA I don&#8217;t believe in TM and JC were in an almighty battle. It&#8217;s just like the &#8220;love you mommy&#8221; note from the C kids it&#8217;s in the very same handwriting of the police statement MM made. JC did not go looking for her he was looking for au-pair and it was her did all the moving and shaking after that. He didn&#8217;t send for her it was her parents that funded the air fare. And more of her fanaticism stated she was a pen-pal of JC deceased wife.

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/...a-pen-pal-of-her-husbands-dead-wife-cphcktdbt

She wanted to be a doctor, was a book editor, was an Olympic swimmer, was a teacher, and had a particularly difficult birth with SC. Her fantasist just goes on and on and on. She did first year in high school only and it&#8217;s not known if she finished it. TM states in court there was no DV involved prior to that night that he was aware of and if there was, one would think he&#8217;d be second or third to know.



4 Blood spatter evidence indicates the initial assault began while JC was asleep as the blood spatter on the matrass, comforter and pillow indicates this. The majority of the blood spatter took place while JC was prone or on his knees. JC palm print should have being found on the body of the bat if there was any truth to TM spin that JC grabbed the bat of him. JC scalp tissue was found in MM nightdress which forensics concludes occurred while she was on her knees while JC was prone. MM stated on recording at the Police station she used the bat on JC and his tissue was found on it.



5 JC was a 6.2 fit guy he would if not in a seriously concussed state have being more than a match for the Ms&#8217; and that is an bat armed TM if he wasn&#8217;t conscious and upright. TM paints himself in a David and Golliath struggle and he &#8220;hit him real hard in the head&#8221; as bravado triumphant slaying the dragon scenario. One can easily and cowardly attacked while asleep and drugged. A brave warrior.



6 MM and TM and possibly with another I believe with purpose and with malice aforethought prior to 8.30pm that evening all set out to kill JC. This can be seen MM is still is in a rage in the ABC interview of not getting custody of the JC kids. She believed delusional and all that she had prior claim to the kids and embellishing them in the American way of life. As the foreman of the jury believes I also concur TM believed the Davidson County police dept. was a &#8220;one horse&#8221; town and with all his law experience with the all luminous FBI career could outwit and humble them.



7 The marriage was falling apart and the only evidence of DV was that of MM taunting JC of his weight at a party the previous evening. Anyone can incite a recording to get another person angry, that&#8217;s provoking a response. TM and MM have not given shred of evidence to support the forensics of the murder scene in the JC home. Even the last statement of MM he was standing upright when he was last struck is a lie. The dead can&#8217;t stand and he was repeatedly struck when dead. And for SM although not of present interest to the Davidson County DA there is is a big void in all the Ms&#8217; spin.



8 I came across another website and they have a traffic violation for MM at 4am in the morning in July 2014. Just wondering where was she coming from at that untimely hour was it any wonder JC was looking at her mobile-phone. And what I note which I think peculiar is the there is no C in the name of her official driving licence. This same person went into a violent tizzy when she was addressed as same in a courtroom.

https://bustednewspaper.com/case-details-criminal-3302014007448



After viewing the ABC presentation of the Davidson County DA lead staff my confidence is fully restored in the US justice system. Here we had all too human beings appalled at the appalling pointless murder of JC and leaving two kids orphans. And they were not going to standby idly by to it. And the same applies to the jury which met the C post-trial in their hotel where they all cried together. Again all too human. As for appeals and all that that&#8217;s to further Ms&#8217; averting from the truth and for that online fundraiser GoGetFunding is really an insult to all victims of violence and their families. All one needs is a *advertiser censored*-and-bull story and start it off with $100 and one is on line. I set up one in JC and MC name but it didn&#8217;t go on line because of not putting $100 with the story to fund their prison visits and purchase a baseball bat for TM to join the prison bb team and for MM building tools so she could go brick in DIY prison team.





Let justice be done let these lying twisted murders serve their full prison sentences.

ABC or NBC which ever is appropriate.
 
Law Enforcement still firmly believe that the bat belonged to little JC and was given to him by TM the previous year. They have photos of little JC playing with it. TM would ahve had to wipe it to rid of any of the child's prints to fit in with his story that he brought the bat with him. This is probably one of the reasons that they were so determined to get the children.

i do too and little JC id it as his when shown it but it became a superficial issue at the trial don't know why the prosecutor did not nail him on it with photographs J had. I know I would have if he was my witness and a lot more

Wow, wasn't aware that little JC ID'd the bat, but everything was pointing to it being his anyway. Suppose they did not need to bring this in as they would have had to do if the charges were 1st Degree and if they were I guess that they would be required to have little JC on the stand, something that the C did not want to happen.

When I think of this, it always brings me back to that photo on MM FBpage, the one of the bat cover with little JC names on it, just laid across his cloths. That is twisted in anyones book.
 
The blood on the pillow and bedding leads me to believe that Jason was attacked first while he was drugged and in bed - sleeping. The lamp looks like part of staging since the bloody brick is underneath paper and the lamp. The body was cool when paramedics arrived, so the time of death at three AM is nothing more than a statement from Molly.

I don't believe the story about one of the children coming to the bedroom in the middle of the night - I think that it's a concocted story to offer a reason for Molly's violent attack on Jason. Also, if one of the children was awake just before the murder, that child would have still been mostly awake during a violent attack on Jason by Molly and her father. In fact, if the child was awake she would have gone to the bedroom to see what was going on.

I have read that paramedics believed that Jason had been deceased for an hour before they arrived even though they arrived within eleven minutes of the emergency phone call.

Bottom line - Molly and her father used the extra time to get their story straight and to stage the scene.

100% agree premeditated murder possible began before 8.30 and in the planning weeks or months. And TM was in collared polo shirt, not underwear but pants with belt and buckle and socked a showed. Seems ready to do battle on the night and was not in bed as he claimed.

That is in the police search warrant and as anyone with kids know they know their own stuff.

Just to clarify, JC was last seen alive at 8.30 by the neighbour so the attack could not have happened prior to this. The children were also in the home, they would have witnessed any attack had it begun prior to their bedtime. I do believe there is the possibility that MM may have drugged JC in the early evening as there is no evidence thus far to dispute that. (I would also be interested to see if they could perform hair analysis for the civil trial if any was retained by the pathologist to see if there was any evidence of on-going poisoning)

TM was permitted to put on shorts prior to being driven to the police station and photographed.

What was in the police warrant? Didn't see anything in the warrants saying that little JC personally identified the bat/weapon. I know that police officers have photos of him playing with the bat.
 
Those <modsnip> remind of a two hour special more than 30 years ago on live TV...the opening of Al,Capone's vault.


http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/ct-al-capone-vault-geraldo-rivera-htmlstory.html

Viewers were captivated waiting to see what Geraldo would find. It was a huge media event. In the end, he found... dust...nothing more.

These DV believers will be waiting for the civil trial or the next spectacle....waiting for the good stuff, for MM's proof. Holding their breath....

History repeats itself. Ahh the letdown, when all the hype leads to nothingness.

Wasn't Jason in the car with Molly when they went to pick up the kids at 11pm?
 
In relation to the foreman's wife not agreeing... She could have sent him a text once the verdict was announced on twitter/local news. There was a small time gap between verdict and sentence. Did I read somewhere that the judge after it was all over came into the jury room to thank them? It was prob a while before jury got away to speak to any family.
