I was very skeptical about Jason overhearing Ezra saying "Let him help you" at the apartment that day. It seems to me that they are all prone to narcissism to one degree or another and I think it's possible Jason was inserting his special brand of empathy and attempting to make himself more...

Everything you said. The apartment is a big black hole. One thing that keeps coming back to me is what an unlikely femme fatale Ezra is.

Because Ezra sent them on a wild goose chase. She said that the incident had happened at a park on the other side of town. Giving her the benefit of doubt, they searched the park first. When nothing was found and Alex was still missing, they went back to search the area around Sepple's house...

For me, "irrational" is enough. Based on a number of issues raised in this trial, I know that EM and I don't perceive the world in remotely the same way. What makes sense to her is likely not to make sense to me ...… and vice versa. With the evidence as it was presented, I would be comfortable...

EM's demeanor is very different this morning -- I don't think I've ever seen her quite like this before.

I appreciate the discussion as well! I'm moderately optimistic about the prosecution this morning -- he's finally putting 2+2 together and isn't confused about the answer.

To me, this is the kind of common-sense moment that the prosecution missed. She went and sat on a trailer hitch by herself in the middle of nowhere while Alex sat in the car -- not speaking, not helping -- until he came to her and persuaded her to lie down in the backseat of the stuck car, which...

When I was this age, I also kept a journal of all of my deepest and darkest thoughts. I came across it about 15 years later and, after reading it, I threw it away because I didn't want my children to ever set eyes on it. It was the sometimes morose, sometimes boastful meanderings of a very...

Now I'm wondering how Alex wrapped the scarf around his neck, took his shoes off, and then climbed into the rear seat of the car feet first, with his head hanging out. The prosecution is going to eat her up.

"Ezra is beautiful, Ezra is my shining sun, Ezra is handsome." She has recovered her memory quite well.

She is extremely well-prepared and rehearsed. A lot of half-smiles …. she almost seems to be enjoying it.

I suspect this is the case as well. It explains how she was able to "overpower" him -- he was in a vulnerable position, didn't expect the attack, and after she had stabbed him once or twice, he didn't have the ability to fight her off effectively. I have to add that every time she looks at the...

I found Jason to be even creepier today. On one hand, he characterizes Ezra as being "very young" and in need of protection. He almost sounds like a caring older brother until you remember that he had a sexual relationship with her.

Does anyone know John Hansen's approximate age? Unlike some people, I didn't find Jason particularly likeable. I'm bothered by the fact that a 34 year old was romantically involved with a 19 year old, particularly since he was apparently aware that she had issues. In fact, it appears that most...

I agree. I don't see why she can't be an individual who made horrible decisions which resulted in a tragic death AND an individual who feels horrible about having made those decisions.
