To me, unlawful confinement seems like a given - the reason being: he was in that house for what, 1.5 hours? During which time he struck blows to all 3 victims, and dragged them around. That, to me, is absolutely unlawful confinement. Would they not have wanted to or tried to leave the house in the 1.5 hours DG was there? Of course - and by way of violence and incapacitation, he kept them from doing so - thus - unlawfully confined them. If they died in that house, with that logic - that's first degree for NO. And if they were alive when he took them, that kidnapping - first degree as well.

I don't know the law well enough to say for sure, but using logic, they were either unlawfully confined, or kidnapped, or both, and died during. Thoughts?

What are Lutz and Ross saying to DG right now.

Here's your last chance to order in some lunch, DG!

IMO the fact that the ME could not conclude that they died in the house speaks louder than the fact that she could not conclude that they didn't.

Wonder if those cuts on his face and forehead are from the barbed wire fence in the field chase....MOO

I was thinking the exact same thing

This afternoon is going to be

It doesn't have to be either confined or kidnapped. First degree murder is murder which is planned and deliberate. I'm confident it was planned and deliberate.

Oh man...I don't even know what to expect. It's going to be crazy...just like him! Lol

I think they were there when he was first arrested... July 4 or 5th, not 100% sure though.

Yes the cuts and bruise on his knee are from the first time he was arrested on July 4th. So they can not be from the barbed wire fence during the chase when he was arrested the second time. If he received any injuries during that chase they were not presented as evidence. In fact in his perp walk you can't even see the scrapes anymore.

The defense could most definitely cast a reasonable doubt on whether Nathan's murder was planned. As far as we know, Nathan's presence at the house was not foreseen by DG. It could easily be argued that as a last minute thing he was killed. KL and AL - most definitely planned. Nathan - there's not proof of that. That's why they upgraded to 1st degree for him - his death wasn't planned, but he was killed during UC or a kidnapping.

 

[musicaljoke]

Will he be allowed appeals, as we do here in the States?

He will be allowed to apply for an appeal if there are grounds to do so.

Crown has closed in the #Garland case, we should know by 1:30 whether the defence will call any witnesses.

It will definitely be dramatic if they choose to present evidence but I think no matter what they decide this afternoon will go very quickly. They wouldn't actually have to present their evidence this afternoon.

That Journal and "other" stuff will come to the forefront when we get to hear "what the jury didn't hear" after the Jury is sequestered. That green sweater may be explained and I'm going to take a guess and say that more evidence was found to support the theory that the victims were alive at the farm but got argued out.

[FONT=&quot]Confinement refers to the "physical restraint, contrary to the wishes of the person restrained, ...thereby depriving the person of his or her liberty to move from one place to another".

That seems to be what happened, whether or not they died at the house.

This is either going to be the most boring or the most interesting afternoon.
