Oh what a trial this will be…..
IMO, the only chance Billy has is to discredit Jake’s testimony. That will likely define Billy’s ‘contributions’ and ‘active participation’ in his own defense. Will Billy take the stand to discredit Jake? What does Billy have to lose at this point? At worst he will be found guilty with LWOP. Ironic it was Jake that took the death penalty off the table for him.
Just like at George’s trial, the prosecution will need to establish proof of the criminal conspiracy and the participation of all four W’s in this conspiracy. I do not anticipate many surprises here – except in the potential testimony of AW. There is a section of Discovery titled “Other Acts”, referring to Billy and his extensive criminal past. I suspect AW is the one that can testify to that. It will be interesting to see how the prosecution uses her testimony.
I’m looking forward to seeing who the prosecution witnesses will be. I suspect anyone testifying for the prosecution is doing so as part of a plea deal.
If the defense has any witnesses, I’ll be surprised. But then again, I’ve been surprised before.
All completely, JMO, MOO and etc.
