Calculated.

Any time I start to worry that the jury will not stitch it all together I think about the video of Charles talking about her delusional state and how worried he is about HER. I think this is the poignant moment that will burn in his credibility with them. He is so earnest and so gentle. It...

My theory is that this is an element of poor scene staging. I can imagine Lori thinking the interpretation would be that she always takes her shoes off in the house and she was so scared by the "conflict" she didn't have time to put her shoes on before fleeing. I think I'd make sure to snag my...

I think they were trying to make Tylee see something that resembled a fight aftermath. I wonder about her returning for Lori's phone. It makes zero sense to send your child into the fray for a phone. Particularly, if you have the victim's phone and you know the password, and you could use that...

I am having a hard time accepting the idea that she can't remember much about the possession details. If I was afraid enough to express grave concerns at the time, and then those grave concerns came to fruition, I think that any related information would be difficult to forget... I don't think...

I may be confused by what I already know, but my gut response to that information was to think they wondered if he was stressed because he thought she was going to kill him and he said something to that effect. I bet there was another part to the question that was not permitted, and this was...

Occasionally in a trial I put together information that was probably obvious to others a long time ago. Just my opinion- Lori took his phone, his wallet, and his car so Charles couldn't escape, call for help or have any resources. She trapped him and created reasons to delay him on top of...

I guess I interpreted the sunglasses to be problematic for the defense because either he had them on during the "altercation" or he put them on his injured head. I wouldn't put on sunglasses after a head injury. I've experienced 2 serious concussions and the idea of adding any weight to my...

<modsnip> I think KR hit and killed JO due to her agitated mood and intoxication. I don't know if she hit him on purpose, but I do think she is responsible for his death. I don't know if this case has been made clear for the jury. That is up to them. I think it will be a hung jury and that...

Anyone else seething with rage? I am so sad and angry for TD. ED has no power, and no independent thought or critical thinking skills. CD has ED so indoctrinated that she cannot defy him in any small way, even in her own thought. I keep picturing CD and ED in the police video on the day the...

The HTC podcast with Heather Daybell is really helpful to understanding some Daybell family dynamics in CD's family of origin. It sounds to me that CD's mom had little to no power in the family structure, and was openly mocked for her body and any other shortcomings. Of course, that is HD's...

I am very irritated by the lack of consistency in the storytelling around CD's self-proclaimed paranormal powers. I mean, on top of all the murdering, of course. The Harry Potter message from CD bemoans the torture of residing in his family home after his occasional earthly "adventures" with...

The manipulathon! These texts show two monsters on a tandem bike of evil steering for TD. When one gets tired, the other one starts to pedal. It is so disgusting that I've learned how to make a short post. Pah!
