GUILTY TX - Moriah Wilson, 25, Cyclist Fatally Shot Before Race, Austin, 2022 *arrest* #9

I wish he hadn't handled Mo's bike.

conveniently forgot that little detail...the changed email addresses, new names, traveling under sister names and the face change...just normal stuff, I mean I do it all the time, you?

Sometimes, I wish....especially if it involves a vacation on a CR beach in a funky hotel. Oh, and my sister could get blamed for my irresponsibility, criminal behavior, and selfishness? Love It!

Gonzalez: "Not one bit of Colin Strickland DNA is on this bike."Gonzalez picks up the bike and shows the way that most people would logically carry a bicycle: by the handlebars and seat. And that's the reason why, Gonzalez says, Kaitlin Armstrong's DNA is there.

So glad he did that. Probably that gesture more than any other showed up Kofer.

Gonzalez is VERY astute and clever.

The other thing about Gonzalez picking up the bike...The jury will have noticed how light it is. (He could prolly pick it up with his pinky). The jury will know how special ( and expensive) this bike is.

Gonzalez says Tobin said in court he can’t disagree with Aston’s conclusions.

About the uber-scientific testimony of Mr. Tobin, who discussed shortcomings in ballistic testing: "After a lot of pushing and shoving, a lot of the most prominent scientists in the world disagree with Mr. Tobin," Gonzalez says.

"Mr. Tobin is entitled to his opinion. But don't accept it like its gospel, like he wanted you to to," Gonzalez says.

Gonzalez moves toward Kaitlin Armstrong, pointing to her, reminding the jury about the video of her shooting her gun. Armstrong does not avert her eyes. She is not phased by the conviction in Gonzalez's voice and message.

As Gonzalez reminds the jury of the gunshot wounds Mo Wilson sustained, two to the head and one to the heart, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson lower their heads. Mr. Wilson puts his head in his hands and rubs his wife's shoulder. Mrs. Wilson puts her hands on her son. Caitlin Cash puts her arm around Matthew's back. They comfort each other through the harsh details of their loved one's murder.

ETA:
Warning: I thought I saw this.
At about mark 3:00 shows MO’s sternum with the shot

@alcaprari23

Gonzalez reminds the jury that Armstrong was viewing Wilson's Strava account on May 9, 10 & 11. "She's not a fan" of Moriah Wilson. "Why is she looking at Mo Wilson? Why is she looking at Mo Wilson 5 or 10 minutes after the last text exchange between Colin Strickland and Moriah Wilson? Why?"

So glad he's bringing up the passport, fake names, etc.

"Why Rick?" Gonzalez rhetorically asks defense attorney Rick Cofer. The gallery chuckles."These are all indications of guilt, ladies and gentlemen."


1:11 PM · Nov 16, 2023


Gonzalez reminds jury about Armstrong's internet search for eliminating fingerprints using pineapple juice. About her searches of local news articles about the murder in Austin, Texas.

Agree, and because of a certain somebody the bike is evidence. moo

@alcaprari23

"Keep your eye on the ball. Keep your eye on the evidence," Gonzalez says. "If you do, if you look at all the evidence, look at it with common sense, logic. Let the evidence take you where it's going. That's all I'm asking. You are going to find that the evidence is right here." Gonzalez points to Kaitlin Armstrong. Armstrong does not avert her eyes.

Closing arguments WRAP. Jury is dismissed.

Cofer just kept speaking over the judge. So rude! She said excuse me 3 times before he stopped.

 

[arielilane]

@alcaprari23

Gonzalez thanks the jury. Acknowledges that everyone is paying close attention. Ends by saying "do the right thing."Defense quickly motions to unseal the Rape Kit. Judge interrupts the defense and excuses the jury to begin deliberations. The time is officially 12:16pmCT.

Brief recess for 15 minutes.

This was a request by a juror... Judge interrupted defense attorney Puryear's closing.
