GUILTY TX - Christina Morris, 23, Plano, 30 Aug 2014 - Enrique Arochi kidnapping trial #5

[TCMom]

From V Wigg

Defense: You believe a fight was inside the car? Busby: Could be... car damage indicates something also happpened outside #arochitrial


Oh god, I just had a vision. What if they were out of the car fighting and he got her into a chokehold and then slammed her head against the fender of the car. It would explain lack of damage anywhere else. And would leave blood in an outdoor area, not in the car. Or maybe it only caused a nosebleed at first.

With the Prosecutions case coming to a close, just looking for some feedback from all of you.

Does anyone else (other than me) feel really surprised that there hasn't been more evidence of his guilt presented? DNA, text messages, testimony, etc.? I honestly thought that they had much, much more up their sleeve and that it was going to be a slam-dunk no brainer to convict him.

I believe that E.A. is guilty, but will the jury based on what they have heard? Not looking to start a debate, just wanting to know if I am alone in what I am thinking?

I'm pretty disappointed. I wanted clarity and received little actual evidence. Most of the prosecution case is their theories...almost like a movie based on real life where much of the story is full of creative license.. I think EA is guilty, perhaps 75% to 85%. But, I don't think that I could convict him with those odds. 15 out of 100 people convicted would actually be innocent, that's unacceptable to me.

Quite a good wrap-up witness for the prosecution.

If he is found not guilty... I don't even want to think about that.

[arkansasmimi]

I haven't gotten to read the tweets from the State last witness the Lead Det.

But I don't remember any testimony that made me think sexual intent. Lots of reading again tonight :thinking:

With them keeping on about the semen (think that Lab person is who Def is flying in). Hmm

Judge leaves to check on similar cases in his chambers, set to return in approx. 10 minutes #ArochiTrial

 

[Doj1234]

How does a guy who gets shut down by a woman (EA by SB) turn into a sexual assault suspect? That's nuts, so every guy in the world could have been a SA suspect on the night that they were turned down?

 

[bellesnwhistles]

They are trying to use him getting rejected as intent to commit a sexual assault
