VERDICT WATCH CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, found deceased, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 *Arrest* #67

[Kiranerys]

Ok, I'm crying already.

 

[Ravenmoon]

I called it a few weeks ago but I'm calling it again: verdict in less than an hour.

Or... shorter? Longer? What does everyone else think?

The jury has more than one count to decide.
I am going to say it will take between 3 and 4 hours.

Young wants to talk about #GannonStauch. "Gannon's been in a box, back here, the whole trial," he says gesturing toward the front of the courtroom. He shows the jury a framed picture of Gannon. Gannon's father, Al, is tearing up.

Oh Gannon…

 

[Curious Me]

Cameras got adjusted, but only a tiny bit better. Here we go.

 

[Kiranerys]

You are not alone. I am having closing argument and jury watch jitters.

Same. I can feel a nervous ball of energy sitting right in my chest.

I think, from listening to Recovery Addict, the cameras are dark because Tolini bumped one earlier when they were at the bench. And no one has fixed it yet.

Oaf!.

Divine intervention <3

That's good punishment for those that love to hear themselves talk as much as this witch does.

She has Maria to talk to, though.

Who is giving the closing!
DA Allen?

LS still faces charges for attempted escape from EPCJ. She will probably want a field trip from DOC and will go to trial. JMO

So in my state sentencing is normally a different day ..Do they do it on the same day?

Not same day in my state. Judge or jury it matters not. Sentencing hearings usually take place after the jury has gone home and the trial has ended. Hearing would include testimony about any mitigators. I imagine with all LS' many "mitigators" that could take several hours in and of itself . and then there are the victim impact statements, etc. I truly doubt we would see this all wrapped up in a neat bow same day.

 

[BadRx]

Not psychotic...it was strategic. BINGO

 

[Seattle1]

What? Did Young just say that Gannon's remains have been inside the courtroom since the trial began?

ETA: Strike that -- guess he was referring to a framed photograph of Gannon. Whew.....

Young. I'm guessing Allen will handle rebuttal.

MOO

Bringing it back to Gannon. Tears.

Jury is coming back in. Closings will start and prosecution is first

Dave Young is presenting prosecution's closing argument.

Young: "I want to come back to Gannon. Gannon's been in a box back here for the whole trial. This is what the trial should be about.”

Young: "What #GannonStauch had to tell you through his autopsy in the trial is all you need to know.”

Young: "If his body wasn't found in Florida do you think we'd be talking about insanity in this trial?”

Young calls the bridge inspector finding the suitcase with Gannon's body "divine intervention" leading to the point where we are at today.

We're seeing a diagram of injuries on Gannon's body, not the photos from the autopsy. "Just by looking at these injuries, what does your common sense tell you...Gannon was defending himself, he was fighting off despite having hydrocodone that made him lethargic...she didn't stop"

 

[iamshadow21]

What? Did Young just say that Gannon's remains have been inside the courtroom since the trial began?

I think he was referring to the case, or the evidence, not his physical remains, but it was a bit unclear. He pointed, I don't know what at, it was outside the range of the camera.

MOO

 

[Yellow Rose]

She has Maria to talk to, though.

I actually thought about that right after I posted. LOL

 

[PhoneJockey]

I hate that smirk she's sitting there with. Ugh.

 

[Teche]

I would be very surprised if she wasn't on an aeroplane back home Wednesday evening, or Thursday morning first thing.

Defense wouldn't have wanted to pay her fee for her to stick around.

MOO

Ha, true.
