Welp, no bond if there's PC for 1st degree

He is an appellate lawyer so probably not there to replace anyone. Appellate lawyers are all brains. They are usually not involved in trial court as it's a different set of skills. That's why I was surprised to see him even though he is accomplished as an appellate lawyer. We will see what they do.

Thank you Althea for the education, appreciate you!

What was the courtroom like when he announced it??

@LaurenScharfTV

The judge said he can find probable cause if there is not a body found like this case. There is a reasonable belief if the defendant MAY have committed the crime. Judge Patrick Murphy said he does see probable cause for First-degree murder & tampering with a deceased human body.

I’m never going to argue with what MassGuy says again. So glad I was wrong in this case. I thought BM was going home.

Can either side appeal the decision(s) made by the judge today?

No, there's no appealing the Judge's decision to be bound over for trial.

The next decision will be after the state presents its case and the defense argues that the state did not prove their case beyond reasonable doubt and requests the case dismissed.

If the Judge agrees that the state did not meet its burden then the case is dismissed and BM can never be re-tried for this crime. If Judge believes the state met its burden then the case goes to the jurors to deliberate and come back with a verdict.

High five to @NoSI who saw this through for Suzanne. Searched for her, stood on line five times for endless hours on behalf of Suzanne. Moonlight Pizza tonight? Have an IPA and toast to Suzanne.

I just deflated to about half my size when I let out that breath I’ve been holding.

I knew it. Any reasonable juror will see through Barry and his actions.

Do we know if this new defense attorney will replace Iris and Dru from this point on, or is he an addition to the defense team? My take is he is an addition to the team. Thank you anyone who can clarify.

JMOO
I think he is an addition. Particularly for this hearing.

We failed to give Barry proper staging credit.

He also staged half a cup of coffee.

That being said, he also murdered his wife.

JMO and a lot of probable cause
