I see so many murder trials where the accused has their children try to save their sorry arses. I detest it every time I see them do it.

It makes me detest this one too even more than I already do. Gah.

It’s nauseating to read as I have no doubt she is lying. So convenient she happened to see the phone ring and she even registered who it was. Because at 15 years of age I am sure she was so intrigued by who was calling her father daily.

IMO

Yeah, all three CM, girlfriend and daughter were standing by CMs phone to see his phone ring. Like this is believable. I guess someone wanting him to be innocent would believe this crap!!

Javis says she recalls being in a movie theater on February 4th. But prosecutors says she recalls her dad, Merritt, getting a call he ignored. And that the argument was about the call he didn't take from McStay.

her statement makes no sense - why would merritt and CJ get into an hours long argument over him ignoring a call from his business partner? Seems like the prosecution poked some pretty big holes in her story. She is trying to save him but the jury will see right through her - especially if she came off as hostile on cross exam.

THIS: " She has sat thru some of the testimony and her dad has filled her in during her visits to him"
I would completely ignore her testimony after this statement if I were a juror.

Leticia Juarez‏ @ABC7Leticia 1m1 minute ago
Prosecution asks Javis what she has read on this case. Javis is a criminal justice major at the moment. Prosecution asks if she read a People magazine article. Javis earlier she testified she had not. She asks for transcript and recalls she did but can't recall content of article

Javis told investigators her dad gambled at the casino. He was a good poker player. He went to the casino sometimes to gamble to make money for car payments. Her parents argued about money because he would put a lot of money back in the business not over gambling

Prosecutor asking how much Javis prepared to testify. She said a few hours. During preparation she listened to audio. She has sat thru some of the testimony and her dad has filled her in during her visits to him.

 

[KALI]

Okay. So his girlfriend is still "with him". Guess we can forget about her testifying against him.

She and her mom visit Merritt on Sundays. On one visit her mom said her dad only came back with winnings on one occasion from the casino.

Leticia Juarez‏ @ABC7Leticia 3m3 minutes ago
Prosecution is asking if Javis is aware phone conversations are recorded. Javis says yes.

Leticia Juarez‏ @ABC7Leticia 2m2 minutes ago
We are taking a break for morning recess.

 

[Bernina]

I don't recall CJ or CM ever mentioning that one of their children was there by the phone?
Funny how Leticia keeps posting "Javis" instead of "Jarvis!

OT: Got a neighbor picking up oxytocin from the vet in town, we are mudded in so vet would get stuck, expecting foal this evening if mare keeps progressing, 2nd time she's ran neck and neck with April the giraffe, lol!

They obviously had a riveting home life

Deputy District Attorney Melissa Rodriguez is back to cross examine Sara Jarvis, Chase Merritt's daughter. Rodriguez asked is she is helping the defense team. She says yes because she interested in the work they do. She is going to law school in the Fall.

Leticia Juarez‏ @ABC7Leticia 1m1 minute ago
Jarvis testifies she has taken part in a documentary about her dad. Rodriguez asked if she has been paid. Jarvis says she was reimbursed gas for her participation. Defense objects to Rodriguez asking who will profit from this. An argument has ensued. They are approaching bench.

 

[Meemaw12]

Next since I believe that CM is the killer.

I want to see the defense

A. Provide the “real” person that forged JM’s name on check/checks that were deposited into CM’s bank account. Super nice of whoever did it. I won’t hold my breath.

Defense says prosecution trying to bring in evidence that has been excluded in a prior ruling. Judge Smith reluctantly agreed to defense calling to discuss. They are all at the bench. Judge Smith is reading something.

 

[citygirl]

What? Related to Merritt, so they are unable to tell the truth? You have based your opinion on a few tweets and haven't even "heard" her yet.

Isn't this exactly what confirmation bias is?

Missy, do you think they are putting on the daughter instead of the mother?

 

[Mony Mony]

I feel a teensy bit sad for the daughter. She wants to believe her daddy is not a quadruple murderer. Sad.

Back on the record. Rodriguez is asking what Jarvis discussed during break with defense. She says she was handed her transcript to read.

Leticia Juarez‏ @ABC7Leticia now
Jarvis is asked to identify a picture of her dad standing in a hole he had dug hole in the desert. This was when Merritt worked for Keeng Engineering.

Leticia Juarez‏ @ABC7Leticia 19s20 seconds ago
Sorry that's confusing. He is standing in a hole he had dug in the desert.

 

[MrsPC]

So glad they got that picture in of Merritt standing in the hole.

 

[asyousay]

I feel a teensy bit sad for the daughter. She wants to believe her daddy is not a quadruple murderer. Sad.

I don’t as she has watched the trial unfold so she knows what the family went though and if she has then chosen to lie then she is disgusting.

 

[geevee]

I feel a teensy bit sad for the daughter. She wants to believe her daddy is not a quadruple murderer. Sad.

I can feel empathy for her but that bit about knowing of the phone call that never came (and an all night argument over it) - when in her first statement she was either at the theater or club house watching a movie? A criminal justice major should know better than to try to rewrite history from the witness stand.

Rodriguez asks is Jarvis was told by her dad what to testify about. She says no not that she can recall.

Seems so. It seems the highlight of their day is all standing around Dad's phone waiting for it to ring.

If this is how the defense case is going to progress then it might as well be an extension of the state's case.

Imo she was a gold mine for the state, and a complete failure for the defense.

I feel sorry for her even though its obvious she's lying.

The jury knows family members of the accused have a vested interest in the outcome.

CM should be ashamed of using his own daughter, but he isn't. Imo he will use his own family as easily as he uses others.
