I really think it was very sound advice. MM is a loose cannon and the DA would have pushed every button showing her true demeanor to the jury. I think along with being bi-polar she may also be a narcissist with sociopath traits. They don't do well when they are being exposed for the wretched person they really are. Everything had to be her way or no way. I think for a long time she was extremely emotionally abusive to Jason and I also believe she was the main instigator/aggressor when he was murdered.
It didn't really matter if she testified or didn't testify in the end. The jury looked at the evidence entered that showed she had struck Jason several times with the brick paver that (cough cough) just conveniently happened to be handy in the bedroom the night she and TM murdered Jason.
I knew the jury wasn't going to fall for any of the defense because none of it lined up with the evidence.
I am sure the jury is wondering like many of us have wondered why in the heck wasn't this a first degree murder instead of M2. The DA presented so much evidence that pointed to this being premeditated. Imo, if they had gone for M1 on both of them that is what they would have been found guilty of today.
The self defense argument didn't hold water...........not even close.
When TM entered that bedroom that night and shut the bedroom door his motive was to hem Jason up so he would be trapped inside of his own bedroom unable to get away so that they both could cruelly murder him, and he had no chance to escape their evil and they both knew it. IMO
I am so glad the verdict was totally correct on both and came much swifter than even I expected. It is a bright day for justice.
Prayers for the Corbett family for all of their lives will never be the same.
IMO
