After watching five days of witness testimony, RG was described as one weepy, distraught, love sick boy going through a break up where family and friends were genuinely worried about him hurting himself.
However, the videos of RG being interviewed by police (less than a day after murdering EW), and when being secretly, wire recorded plotting to throw gun in the river a day after killing EM showed nothing more than a calculating, manipulating individual who thought he was smarter than his friends and investigators. There was not one "weepy," mournful moment or remorseful emotion exhibited on the record!
IMO, the jury will not need much time to render their verdict. Prayers for EW's family and friends during this heartbreaking week.

Gaul interviewed by investigators
Jurors were shown Gaul's original interview with investigators from November 2016. Gaul is seen in a room with an investigator and is asked where he was the night of Emma's death.
Gaul is seen telling the investigator about the rumors he's heard surrounding Emma's death. He mentions suicide or that a stray bullet went through the wall.
An investigator asked Gaul if he could think of anyone who wanted to hurt Emma, to which responded, "Not off the top of my head, no."
Gaul then tells investigators about the Saturday before Emma died, when a man dressed in black came to the Walker's home trying to get in. Prosecutors say that man was Riley Gaul.
The interrogation then shifted to an alleged kidnapping, which Gaul said happened the Friday before Emma was killed. Gaul said in the interview he was kidnapped by two men, but doesn't want to talk about it because it was "traumatizing."
Investigators then told Gaul they've spoken to his friends, who said they recently saw Gaul with his grandfather's handgun.
"I never had a gun," Gaul told investigators.
Investigators continued asking Gaul why his friends would lie to investigators about seeing Gaul with his grandfather's gun, to which he responded, "I don't know."
"You've got good friends and they're worried about you," the investigator told Gaul.
Throughout the interview, Gaul maintained that he never had the gun. When investigators asked him why he asked a friend to get fingerprintse off a gun, Gaul said he never asked for help like that. When pressed with a more specific item, Gaul said, "I do remember that," saying it was for his roommate.
"I'm telling you the truth from my perspective." Gaul tells investigators, saying he has nothing else to say, if the same questions are going to get asked.

Gaul Murder Trial Day 6: Closing arguments to begin Tuesday morning
The Riley Gaul murder trial entered its second week, with the investigation being put front and center in court.
"The jury will return Tuesday for closing arguments for the William Riley Gaul trial in the 2016 murder of Emma Walker.
Monday marked the trial's sixth day and second week with the investigation taking center stage in court....
Dr. Christopher Lochmuller, the chief deputy medical examiner in Knox County, was the first called to the stand Monday. He conducted the Walker's autopsy.
It was a tough scene in court as family and friends listened as Lochmuller went over the precise details of Walker's death. He said a bullet as well as synthetic material were found during the autopsy, and Walker had no drugs or alcohol in her system.
Lochmuller said he couldn't be certain if death was instantaneous, but said it appeared Walker had become unconscious the moment the bullet entered her skull. He then began to show photos of the wound on a projector, explaining what the autopsy was able to determine.
Lochmuller said the official cause of death was the gunshot wound, and the manner of death was homicide...."

ALLEN: What's the real reason he stole that gun? He said it was to protect himself, but he lied about that. The real reason was to use it against Emma.
