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

[katydid23]

The PT's objection implied this, there was no point or benefit in them doing so, the bell can't be unrung. IMO, it was a tactical error, they would have been better off not objecting in the first place.

According to you it implied that. But not every one else has the same mindset as you do.

" And he was a hard worker". GMAFB

Maline made a great point about them being two separate businesses so again, why would Joey give a NON employee access to his bank account or accounting software? Doesn't make sense.

I was thinking the same thing! Makes even less sense now that Joey would want the two timed felon's sticky fingers in his bank books!

OMG ...Merritt is turning red & tearing up while Maline discusses Jarvis. Ewwwww...McGee probably gave him some jalapeno juice to rub on his eyes. LOL

 

[katydid23]

OHMYLORD---Chase is crying when Maline speaks about CJ? lmao

 

[Mony Mony]

The two timed felon is crying!

 

[Bernina]

What million dollar projects?

 

[Meemaw12]

Keep watching. I’m telling ya he is going to fake a heart ailment the closer this gets to being over.

JMO MOO IMO

But not every one else has the same mindset as you do.

I believe that's something we can agree on.

I hope the PT points that out in their final closing.

I don't think they can.They had the choice but went with the judge's admonishment.

Does anyone know if the juror that can't stay after 5/30 is still there?

beating a dead horse.

 

[katydid23]

The DA wasn't allowed to show the RipOff Reports or they would have
Same with the people he ripped off after the murders

I read a tweet from yesterday mentioning that a juror had just been dismissed.

Maline spends some time, and details, on the business relationship between Joseph McStay and Merritt, including finances, which he told jurors Merritt was open about when investigators first talked to him in mid-February 2010. #mcstay

"It's almost like they will it away" Maline says of how prosecution handled evidence contrary to what it has. Says McStay needed Merritt to build the large-project water features he was selling to clients such as Saudi Arabia and Paul Mitchell salons. #mcstay #chasemerritt

I wonder if Maline actually believes his own BS that he's regurgitating?

 

[Chelly]

defense atty is so lame I'm embarrassed for him.

 

[Chelly]

Maline lying again about truck. Prosecution objects. Judge sustains. Maline goes back and tries it again. Prosecution objects again. Judge sustains again.

I read a tweet from yesterday mentioning that a juror had just been dismissed.

But the reason was something like illness?

 

[Frankie Hellis]

I really, really dislike Maline. I am not sure how this jury will rule, but I wonder if they feel like Maline is as much of a slimy idiot as I do. He’s really not very good at public speaking as he needs to be.
