VERDICT WATCH Closing Arguments- Chase Merritt Charged W/Murder of Joseph, Summer, Gianni and Joe Jr McStay

[Chelly]

They sure don't want the jury to go home pondering everything Imes said, best to cloudy the waters while they have the chance. Not sure what good it'll do them though, they can't very well point at DK anymore. Not with a shred of credibility, anyway.

True, Even after Judge suggested to defense that they begin closing "afresh" tomorrow morning, defense stated firmly that it wanted to begin today.

Past criminal history, especially non-violent, has no role in deciding guilt/no-guilt.

Well done, Mr. Imes!

So agree! <modsnip>

 

[Texas Red]

Well done, Mr. Imes!

If Imes, were a pork chop you were ordering I'd agree...well, on second thought I do agree.

 

[Chelly]

So, what good stuff does the defense has left to confuse and impress the jurors? Not much and I doubt jury will give much credence to their so-called-expert-witnesses.

 

[geevee]

Butter up the jury...

Well, now that we are in the home stretch is the judge married to the day ending at a certain time?

He said about 4.20 pm.

Sounds like, still ending at 4:15 - 4:20.

Anyone liking the defense closing so far?

Gas masks on everyone.

Nope, he probably lost the jury with his hit on sympathy for the victims.

 

[Chelly]

Ohhhh. Pity defense can't come up with some facts yet.

 

[smr]

If Imes, were a pork chop you were ordering I'd agree...well, on second thought I do agree.

"Objection!" Yells Mr. Imes.

 

[Mony Mony]

Fact: the two timed felon wrote himself some checks and backdated them to the 4th.
Fact: the two timed felon called QB because he NEEDED it deleted.

 

[Chelly]

Nope, he probably lost the jury with his hit on sympathy for the victims.

Yeah, like the Prosecution mention of Joey Jr's Jan 31 birthday being a sympathy ploy when in fact it explained why the new toys were covered up in the back of the vehicle.

 

[wary]

Nope, he probably lost the jury with his hit on sympathy for the victims.

What did he say?

 

[Chelly]

This is typical weak defense early closing. Yell and act indignant before the jury. Juries do not like this.

 

[Bernina]

What did he say?

Chelly answered it.

 

[la2cabo]

Gas masks on everyone.

And rubber boots...

 

[smr]

"Mr Merritt is innocent."
