State v. Bradley Cooper 4-12-2011

[ncsu95]

Reminds me of Jason Young who got on his computer and researched blugeoning. Strangely, that is exactly how his wife was murdered in the home. Coincidences are not real, only the illusion of them.

Okay thanks. I thought you might have switched cases, but I wasn't sure.

I think given this website and the testimony regarding the fathers losing their children, blah blah blah I think the prosecution really messed up trying to use money as the motive. Had they gone after fear of losing his children as the motive I think they would have had a lot more to stand on.

Unfortunately, they relied too much on stories that appear to be more exaggeration than anything rather than going for the more believable story that actually had some kind of potential evidence to back it up.

Mindboggling that if Brad DID attempt suicide in younger days, his family also lied about it in their SWORN affidavits.

 

[raisincharlie]

Getting killed by asphyxiation and committing suicide by asphyxiation are probably two different methods, don't you think?

The result is the same, someone is dead, don't you think ?

Yeah, kind of hard to choke yourself with your own hands.

Jury out. Defense says he isn't prepared to cross-examine FBI agent. He hasn't been given adequate info about FBI methods.

You know, I do not see him that way. I see him as loving himself too much. So he decided to kill Nancy instead.

Perhaps in July but maybe not back in February. Why would he go to a suicide site?

 

[Lori59]

So, if Brad was on his computer July 11th until 12:00...that means he was most likely up when Nancy came home. That fits with the theory that they fought when she walked in and explains all the clean up in the foyer.

Prosecutor says he has given the defense everything. Ongoing dispute. Defense then questions FBI agent without jury present. #coopertrial


This just means Brad is stumped (Pal)

The drama of it all, another Kurtz kitten...:floorlaugh:

But you could tie a plastic bag around someone's head and claim it was suicide.

You missed my point, but that's ok.

IOW, "Your Honor, I didn't do my homework"?

Yes, but if BC's original plan was to make it seem NC committed suicide it would be relevant. Obviously there is absolutely no testimony or basis to that effect so I'm leaning more towards the judges ruling on this one regarding relevancy.

 

[KDB]

My first thought was how do you kill yourself by asphyxiation? Hanging?

My first thought is that he has been planning this for some time and was going to perhaps stage it as a suicide... JMO

I think you missed mine, quess we're even

She wasn't killed that way though. At least the evidence doesn't point to that.

I really doubt this. We grew up in a SMALL town (less than 60,000 at that time) with 3 high schools. A suicide attempt would have be known by many.

And if he was not, then it doesn't fit. Too bad we don't have any conclusive evidence either way.

We'll see if any of Brads <school> acquaintances will testify about it when defense present their case.
