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

[Texas Red]

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

The judge told the defense that they could choose the break point, they need to exploit the offer to the maximum and break on the strongest contention they have.

Anyone liking the defense closing so far?

well, he just clarified something that I thought I heard the judge say this morning.. that the defense doesn't have to prove anything LOL they don't have to give an alibi, etc. I still want to hear the words of the judge again, but it was something that took me off guard when listening to jury instructions ..

 

[Chelly]

Butter up the jury...

But, instead of butter, defense is using Draino.

 

[Meemaw12]

For a defense that doesn’t have to prove anything. They sure have spent a hella lot of time trying to muddy the water.

McGee! I don’t believe a word he says. I wonder how many jurors know he was a former prosc. They might hold that against him even thought they shouldn’t. Nature of the beast.

Boy his sound affects I can’t stand either.

Jmo, moo, IMO

I have lost all respect for McGee. What a freaking slime ball.

 

[MrsPC]

I can't even listen to McGee. He's just being a smartazz...lol. Closing is definitely not his forte.

 

[Chelly]

Defense atty is becoming frightening in his words and actions. Repeatedly yelling, slapping hands together. I think he actually slapped a table a time or too. Juries find this behavior alarming.

 

[Meemaw12]

I guarantee you all the hand slapping, pounding, yelling. The jury is not hearing/listening to a word he is saying.

Maybe intentional but man from my prospective dumb move on his part.

 

[la2cabo]

Remember, McGee is being filmed.

 

[geevee]

Hmmm he mocked the state for talking about witnesses not called by defense, now accusing the state of hiding Sequida Sr.

Oh wow that’s right. Makes sense he is acting. Ugggg!!!!

You can't blame them when they have so much to work with.

 

[Mony Mony]

Oh god, back to Dan.

 

[wary]

Did the state brag about all the amazing testimony that Sequida Sr. was going to bring to the trial?

 

[Mony Mony]

The two timed felon never mentioned they were hiding QB from Dan

Lol your funny

 

[mom2chloe]

He said about 4.20 pm.

I am laughing hysterically as are my husband and adult son. Appreciate your humor at a much needed time!

 

[Texas Red]

I think he actually slapped a table a time or too.

Kind of like when Imes, was pounding the podium with the sledgehammer?

 

[Mony Mony]

I thought McGee wanted to stick to facts? He is creating a fantasy.

I’m guessing they see desperation! IMHO
