We've had at least three objections from the State during this closing. The defense never objected during the prosecution closing.

Now talking about the interrogation again, and exhaustion as they go through the jury instructions. They are on 30/36. @KCCINews #bahenariveratrial

Frese brings up character evidence -- saying all character evidence shows CBR is non-violent and a hardworker. @KCCINews #bahenariveratrial

He -Freese-really needs to shut up and sit down.

Can we object to him entirely?

 

[FLmom777]

Finally the lying windbag is finished

 

[usnuzuloose]

I wonder how long it will take the jury?

I am wondering the same thing

 

[PrairieWind]

There is simply no reason for DJ to kill Mollie. And certainly not in such a wierd manner.

"You saw him testify. You saw him credibly testify," Frese says of CBR.

Frese says police needed to close case. "Who better to pick" than undocumented immigrant who has no one to help him. @KCCINews #bahenariveratrial

Was the interrogation 11 Hours or the defensive closing argument? Seems about the same length to me. Surely, he learned in law school he's going to lose the jury going on and on and on...about quite frankly a bunch of unsubstantiated nothings.

HaHa!

 

[usnuzuloose]

No lunch for the juror's?

Right, because all prior bad acts were ruled inadmissible.

Stop the madness!

Folks, there is serious doubt in this case. Serious doubt. Only verdict is not guilty. Defense closing over. @KCCINews #bahenariveratrial

So after this rebuttal, probably a lunch break and then deliberation. I'm going to guess no verdict until tomorrow. No specific reason why, I just feel that way. Deliberation won't even begin until what? Maybe 2 after lunch? What time would be the latest they go for the day? 5:00?

 

[AnnInOhio]

I wonder if there would be grounds for appeal when an attorney gets up in closing and completely undermines his client's sworn testimony?

BBM, yeah and how many notorious killers have we know that had the same profile, ie Chris Watts, Patrick Frazee, heck even Ted Bundy was studious and seen as gentle, a soft spoken friend coworker, until he wasn't?

No lunch for the juror's?

In my trial we ended up with a later than normal lunch in order for closings to finish. We then ate our lunch while we deliberated.

Since burden of proof is on the State they get another attempt at making the case.

Brown says video "is the lead that breaks this case. They follow it." Says it pointed to CBR, then the physical evidence was found. "Then what are they supposed to do, look at Ron Pexa?"
12:21 PM · May 27, 2021·Twitter Web App

"The defendant was not targeted. The evidence led to him."

CBR targeted himself, Brown says. "They ran Dalton Jack to the ground in this case" (officers did) What do you do when you're not getting along with your gf at 18, you break up with her. You don't go out and stab her. @KCCINews

Says Dalton is a kid. "What do you do when you're not getting along with your girlfriend? You break up with her. You don't take her out in the country and stab her to death, goodness."

Brown re: primary crime scene. "Who had control of that? The defendant." "The reason we don't have whatever a primary crime scene is the defendant." "Motive: He's not angry? Are you serious? He told us he was." @KCCINews

Praying for justice for Molly.

 

[Wild Black Cherry]

Hello everyone. I've been following this case like a hawk here & everywhere since the day Mollie went missing, and finally made an account & logged in to say thank you all for saying everything I've been thinking during the trial, especially yesterday & today. I pray the jury is smart enough to laugh at the ridiculous Sweater Ninjas...

 

[californiagem]

The Prosecution has done a great job on closing.

Brown: CBR was in the most secure place in Poweshiek County, he could have told police about the masked men story, I was scared for Iris and daughter. But he didn't. "You know why? Because it didn't happen." @KCCINews #bahenariveratrial

"Why use Pamela Romero?" "Let's say we didn't..." She's an impressive young woman. "The whole interview is in Spanish, but why not take advantage of a native speaker? Why not do that? Then we have a clean conversation."
