Actually, the biggest problem I had was with Detective Spivey - IMO he totally blew it on the stand by not tying little pieces of evidence together to create an adequate picture for the jury. BH was somewhat guilty of this as well but Spivey should have poured out his 1,693 days of his life trying to solve this case. Sometimes you absolutely have to draw pictures and connect dots - it did not happen in this trial.
I lost my connection, what happened?
Curious if any long timers on websleuths remember any old cases with a split this big???? If so, how they turned out...any chance this jury will agree?
My other thought is this jury has been unusually concerned about their privacy and safety. They were voicing concerns before they got the case to deliberate. I wonder if something that happened before spooked them?
I came away from Spivey's testimony feeling like he was a shy puppy. I was not thrilled either by his testimony nor his demeanor.
Maybe I have too much hell in me but I just detest watching people with important testimony, positions, ...... anything..... not showing fire and passion in what they are doing. I just want to shake them. Again, maybe I'm the one with too much passion but good grief I let it show when I need to.
In my next life I'm going to be a prosecutor, I swear.
