Awesome work by WS/Tweeters - thank you, thank you, thank you!

Yes, he did talk about this in the deposition.

He was asked, straight forward, if he had ever considered suicide and he replied 'no'.

Sorry, don't have more info about website. RT @stevengauck: @wral Any more details about website to help narrow it down for Google search?

If they still had funds in them I don't see how they could be closed?

Just a guess, but could those be the savings accounts for the children? They had been mentioned in the past as being *under* $300

Defense attorney Howard Kurtz: Brad admitted to visiting site about father who loses custody of children committing suicide.

Well, he sure lost his kids and he sure didn't commit suicide because of it, but it is one heck of coincidence that Nancy was murdered by being asphixiated. Too darn much of a coincidence for me considering he was even too weak to take the stand to fight for his kids. Coward :maddening:

 

[Tipstaff]

Yes, he did talk about this in the deposition.

Oh, he did admit to considering suicide? Did not know that.

 

[gracielee]

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

Carbon monoxide

one reason Nancy's parents filed for custody ..Brad attempted suicide as a youth

No, he denied it IIRC.

Hi RobT and welcome. In your opinion, and with court/jury experience, is Brad is guilty or innocent? Just curious. TIA.

As much as I would like to stay objective my gut tells me that it would have taken a slew of remote events for him not to have committed this crime. But, there's also part of me that says inevitably a first time killer makes SOME kind of mistake and through a two-year investigation the authorities have not really been able to find anything definitive, merely suggestive.

So do I think he did it? I think it is likely. But I don't think they'll get a conviction.

Yes, I know, but she also asked if he had looked up information about suicide on the computer and he said that he did look up information on suicide rates regarding fathers who lose custody.

I remember this having been mentioned in the CC deposition, but I thought he denied it. And again, after Nancy found the notes under his keyboard that suggested to her that he may be considering it, he denied it.
My memory could very well be distorted.

FBI agent: Logs show Brad was on his computer 4 times between 10pm & midnight on July 11. (He told police he was sleeping.) #coopertrial

he denied it in depo

 

[NCEast]

Yes, I know, but she also asked if he had looked up information about suicide on the computer and he said that he did look up information on suicide rates regarding fathers who lose custody.

I do remember that--he said one article linked to the suicide article. But in all honesty, I didn't believe him during that part of the deposition.
Well, most of us feel he is unstable so any type of suicide research doesn't surprise me. However, I do believe that it could have led directly to his thoughts about killing Nancy.

Awesome work by WS/Tweeters - thank you, thank you, thank you!

I second this.

Thanks you guys!

Now will do. 20 minute exam with fbi w/O jury. ...asking questions now about the log and how he came to conclusion Brad was logging on computer at these hours.

This is exactly why the defense objected, because it's prejudicial to that line of thinking.

 

[Star12]

That makes absolutely no sense. Then what is the point in putting up flyers? I could see that being an argument days or weeks later, but this was the next day. So the flyer basically says missing, have you seen me. Someone that saw her says I saw her and then recognized her face on the flyer. So now she is not credible because she saw the flyer?

All I know is what I read. I did not attend the custody hearing, so am not privy to the testimoney that was provided.
