JG did not appear to have his heart in that closing statement this morning. I couldn’t help thinking that body language experts explain how when someone is speaking in a deceitful manner, their brain can’t help tell the truth in the way of their body language. That was the feeling I had with JG this morning … perhaps his brain didn’t believe his client is innocent, and it was hard for him to fight for him.
It was horrible. There was no passion. No conviction. It sounded disjointed and half-assed in my opinion. I sincerely feel that he just didn't believe in Alex AT ALL. That was a man just going thru the motions. He's a professional and just doing his job and for that I commend him. You can't fault defensive lawyers for doing their job. He was severely handicapped with Alex allegedly insisting on testifying. He had to lob him softball questions which just set the ball on the tee for the prosecution to unload on and destroy him.
I think the defense picked up on some kind of bad vibe from DH. He showed his @ss yesterday and I think deep down, knew that he wasn't going to be doing Alex any favors by doing the rebuttal. Maybe that put too much pressure on JG. He doesn't have the same flair and impact as DH, but I really think that DH got benched so to speak.
We'll see. I sincerely think that there really is no way to think that AM didn't kill them. The man is morally bankrupt. There is nothing in his moral bank account that leads me to believe he couldn't kill. He lost his soul a long time ago. I've said it in a previous post of mine there just isn't anything positive about that man. None!
The thing that really convinced me was his entire nonchalant attitude about Maggie. I never once got the feeling that he loved her. He didn't get upset when they were talking about her gruesome death, which I think we can all agree that her death was angry and violent. That usually doesn't come from strangers.
Looking back on his testimony he never expressed any signs of love for her. That word NEVER came out of his mouth. There was no emotional devastation for her loss. He was never inconsolable about her death. He never cried about how much of a loss it was for him going forward without her. We saw deep emotion and loss for Paul, but where was that for the woman he spent most of his life with? Where was the emotion for losing a life partner? Were was the passion for his wife?? He talked about her a little bit when prompted but it wasn't much.
The final nail in that coffin was when his brother came to the stand and really didn't express a whole lot of love and affection for his sister in law either. With the exception of one or two prompted statements I didn't get the sense he had much love for her either. I really don't think that marriage was a good as everyone thought.
