About what happened the night that ER died -- Keep in mind that the ONLY "information" that we have came from KR. The "facts" in the SW, in the narrative, etc, those were all "according to KR" rather than anything known to be true. She said her mom was there that evening, she said they were...

I respect your thoughts, and I'm sure you have seen I am a million miles from being a KR sympathizer. But I gotta agree with SS - when I watched the 20/20 show (which I did leisurely, when I had time to watch), I thought it was a very fair retelling of what happened. Pro-Kouri? Not even close...

When I watch the comments of KR's family, knowing what we know about KR, it makes me wonder: which ones in her family are each of the following? 1 SCHEMING HELPER - a grifting crime person with no conscience, willing to kill as needed to achieve their desires, skilled in playing the game of...

[This ^ is about the discussion over the defense supposedly asking to add another (lesser) charge.] You asked me a question, and to be specific for you, after further research, the clearest answer is that the defense supposedly asking to add another (lesser) charge never happened. I went back...

(I did NOT notice a request for this added charge, fwiw. But assuming it happened...) A request to add the charge and possible conviction of "unintentional manslaughter" was not an admission of anything by the defense. Their request to add it was a strategic move, to give the jury a way to...

"she disappeared 9 months ago in AZ" --- This ("in AZ") has been said multiple times, but not accurate. It was actually in CA, in the mountains of the Angeles National Forest area. Far away. Not in a city. Incredibly likely it was just a tragic outdoors accident and nothing spooky. Nature can be...

There's one vital piece of Attempted Murder evidence that you aren't mentioning, and perhaps you may have missed it. But it was WELL-PROVED (not just BARD but it became a factual certainty), and it moved me from making the Attempted Murder seem a bit weak, to making it easy to believe BARD...

I have never trusted ANY DETAIL WHATSOEVER that KR told about what happened. Her story is that they had drinks at about 9, as they celebrated together, she left, she came back hours later to find him dead. How much is corroborated at all? None of it. I don't even trust that it began at 9. Or...

There was plenty of proof to back up CL's story. In fact, while the defense spent a lot of time in closing attacking the credibility of CL, and her memory, and on and on, they also actually said IN THE CLOSING that CL had indeed bought drugs those times. There was a MOUNTAIN of communication...

The reason the state didn't call this guy is probably a bit different than "it was inconvenient to call him," and to me it's interesting. HERE'S THE STORY. Skye L was interviewed after the verdict (link posted multiple times above). Since she was KR's atty for more than a year, she has seen all...

Cool, it might have been a stunning outcome for her! (I can't feel sorry or think that's a bad thing.) Her lawyers had really been blowing a lot of smoke, a smokestack full, WITHOUT EVER STOPPING, to try to keep up the facade that the state had no case and she was going to walk. Loudly...

Hey KR and friends, don't break your arm patting yourself on the back!!! That defense press release would be laughable, if this trial wasn't a serious thing. Declaring victory before the jury has done it's job? Good grief. It's written as if a public opinion poll, rather than a jury examining...

"I thought opening and closings were basically free for alls?"--- They are not. FURTHER EXPLANATION. Closing arguments are an opportunity for each side to package, repackage, explain, etc and argue the EVIDENCE presented in the trial, and what it has shown. Or argue against the arguments and...

The problem with your claim is that this is nothing more than a wild story KR made up out of thin air (and her attorneys tried to insert into the mix by clever questions) in desperation to get off the hook for callously murdering her husband. What-if's are not evidence, just by being raised...

It needs to be recognized now that the game the defense was playing throughout the trial was all a charade (as those of us who have watched this rock solid case unfold over the years suspected). They've hinted by the wording of their crossing questions that there is lots of contradictory...
