Webb seems to think it was impossible for Rebecca to regain consciousness after being knocked out earlier. Of course it's possible.
I mean, it's not impossible she was hit after she screamed, either. JMO

I have known the Alison's for many years. To suggest that Mrs. Alison should be a murder suspect is preposterous! I also find it interesting that LE tried to keep it quiet that she had come forward. I was having coffee with the Alison's one Sunday shortly after Rebecca was murdered, and they brought up the fact that Mrs. Alison heard screams that night, and that LE didn't seem to be interested..............
Murderers don't usually choose a time when there will be witnesses either. Has Webb never heard of Means, Motive and Opportunity ?Ridiculous. There are no witnesses because Adam was the only person there besides Rebecca. The neighbor was a witness to hearing a scream. They worked to discredit her.
.We only have a photo of the clothes, there was no evidence that they were processed.
Update 21 ~ Posted by Mary Zahau
Quick update on today. Closing argument will continue tomorrow. Mr Greer presented his closing arguments but the defense is not done yet. It is long and drawn out as usual. Mr Greer gets to rebuttal tomorrow after the defense is done. It is expected to be done in the morning so jury goes to deliberation after that. We are drawing strength from all of your prayers and support.

I missed that.so he called Greer, an attorney, in open court a liar?!?! I can understand him saying this about Mary, as she is the plaintiff, but to also call her attorney a liar? Is this typical?

Thanks for this info, it’s very interesting to hear.
To elaborate a bit as I was trying to type and watch at the same time..Webb was suggesting that you might as well accuse the next door neighbor of murder if you accuse AS, the next door neighbor is as likely to commit murder by the same token.
Hope that explains it a bit more clearly.
How does an autopsy procedure cause hematomas? I would think blood flow ceases upon death.
I missed that.
😑 I find it unbelievable that non-shedders have been discussed ad nauseum here and in court and yet this debate still goes on. Its scientifically possible for his DNA to be absent. Far from unbelievable.
Agree. And if the legal standard for proving murder required having actual witnesses to the killing, there would be a lot of murderers out walking the streets today. The jurors must be wondering about that argument. JMO
My summary and opinion so far...
Webb was better than yesterday in his presentation. For me, he has an irritating delivery style and voice, but he was definitely less flustered and much more systematic.
Yesterday the mannequin was stuck in my head and the table evidence, and I was waiting anxiously for rebuttal, but it never came. This was important for me and the fact it wasn’t covered spoke volumes.
I felt there was a very condescending, dismissive tone running through the whole statement, IMO it was not helpful to AS. Particularly the attack on Mary almost immediately followed by the request to jury consider AS pain and suffering. Attack Greer ok, he’s presenting the case ..but attack Mary?
I also noticed a distinctive drop in tone of voice and level and pitch of volume when discussing RZ apparent reason for suicide. It was not natural IMO, as as soon as the next topic came up he did not dwell a pause before returning to the voluminous levels prior.
Very well said Lezah. I felt all of these things too.My summary and opinion so far...

Overall, I felt like I was being ‘talked down too’ if that makes sense. As though by choosing the plaintiffs version I was stupid as it’s SO obvious that there is no evidence...
I genuinely tried to remain open during the trial, and I did during Webb’s argument, but for me he was unpersuasive and not very likable.
This is just me, and my opinion, but I would decide for the plaintiff.
Agree as touch DNA has sensitivity limits. It's a fairly new thing in the last ?10 years in courts, but lawyers may confuse the jury with absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
