Here are my thoughts on the defense in this case. I believe they advised TH to plead guilty because they knew their experts were never going to qualify as experts. The evidence against Tanner is so strong IMO they decided on a hail Mary which involved them sliding all these defense witnesses...

of course they did. I mean what else was their whole defense built around? Poor poor autistic Tanner. He knew right from wrong and he isn't legally insane. DP for him. the end. MOO

what on earth? did this begin at the address on North Burton and them the killer chased this young mother with her children to the location where they were ultimately found dead? I am imagining this poor 28 year old woman running frantically trying to carry her 4 month old and 4 year old and...

So tomorrow morning closing statements then? Sorry missed the release of last state expert - client pulled a pop in on me.

how many people in county did Tanner attack?

defense highlighting he has never been agressive or disciplined in jail. Ergo, he is not a future danger. :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes...

when TH said he'd been there before he wasn't planning. But really that was his route before he had been moved to a new one right? Yes, he did say in the investigative records that he had been to that area TH took her that that was part of his old route. I just know he stopped there before...

let me ask you this, is it possible the cocaine use happened in the truck after TH had covered the cameras. That is what he told me. I did not see it He self reported that.

defense brings up the stress of holidays at work long days blah blah blah

deviant sexual proclivities are not illegal. so long as there is consent. Defense is simply IMO reminding the jury over and over that Athena did not consent. She fought. She was not a consenting partner. Over and over and over. they are really doing a poor job on this cross MOO

she knew damn well how he can get based on his childhood deviant behaviors and the fact that he assaulted her other son and his cousin. IMO she knew then and did nothing to stop it.

I needed that chuckle - thanks

this cross is going nowhere fast. defense is scoring zero points thus far IMO

he charges $350 an hour. He probably reviewed all forty hours of video provided to him. If your bill is $28,400. that is about 81 hours in this case so far? That is what I have billed thus far. There will be additional bills for preparation for this trial.

when looking at collateral sources you would agree they are important sources of information. they are. if there is inconsistency or they are poor historians isn't it important to use collateral sources to either shore up or disprove what they are saying? If they don't remember something then...
