No word as to what is going on in the courtroom. Are they done for the day?
Go figure, I'm missing the Arizona Seal.

Camerman is slow panning to the screen which shows some sort of vile of something. Hmm #Seacat

HAHAHAHAHA! The screen shot of the court showed a painting of some old guy that looked like he was around in the late 1800's and I thought is that that State's seal?

So who thinks this defendant will take the stand?

 

[geevee]

Exactly Hopeful One! Why do you need to cover up your own suicide!

And endanger your children as well. This is not sounding believable whatsoever.

I think the defendant would blow it if he took the stand. It wouldn't surprise if he did though cause he probably thinks he would do great. lol

So who thinks this defendant will take the stand?

I think the defendant is so full of himself and his wonderfulness as a Crime Scene Investigator that he will need to take the stand and set everybody straight on what really happened. Besides that I think he might be a narcasist and will get up there to dazzle everybody with his brillant mind.

The note evidence found in Brett's pocket the night of his wife's death said:
1. Calm - died/accident
2. Her parents
3. Everything that the...truth

-no suicide

Seacat said he jotted down the note as he was talking to his wife's therapist.
Oh, sure, sure, he is so guilty, IMO.

Did Kansas cop kill wife, burn down their home?

Was there any testimony about whether or not he had any blood on himself when the cops got there? If her 'head was blown off' and there was 'blood everywhere' then you'd think he'd have some on him somewhere.

I had another point to make/question to ponder but I've forgotten it, it'll come back right after I hit Post though. lol

ETA: NM, the article answered my question about blood (none found on him).

Half way down the article-
'Moments later, his wife called him on his cell phone, saying he should get their boys before they got hurt."

Why would someone call a person on their cell phone when that person is downstairs in the same house? Do cell records jive with this? What if he was fast asleep and didn't hear the phone call? The boys would be killed by burning to death? The mom cared enough to make sure her boys wouldn't be hurt, she would make sure they were far from harm's way if she intended on killing herself and burning down the house.

The story sounds goofy.

Yeah, you'd think he'd have blood on him from lifting/checking her on his clothes and some soot but neither is noted in police records.

I don't know what I'm sitting here waiting for, but maybe I'm just lazy and need an excuse to sit here. :lol:

Even with cell phone records.... you can grab someone's phone and call yourself, right?

Thanks for the interesting article. OMG, the article reveals Brett was a loose cannon according to the victim's brother!

"A 2002 lawsuit, alleging excessive force, claimed that Seacat — while working as a sheriff's deputy — slammed 50-year-old John Mires against a concrete wall near the booking desk at the Sedgwick County Jail, causing skull fractures and brain damage. Mires, who was in jail after a DUI arrest, died six days later."

"Suspect in Kingman death had history of using force as a deputy"

Not disputing that but I find it weird that his story would have her calling him from her cell phone to get the kids out of the house rather than her yelling at him from the top of the stairs (he is supposedly sleeping on the couch downstairs) to get the kids and get out quick.

 

[Jewels53]

This is all i have been able to find so far about the police interview. It isn't much, but he does show an attitude.

Oh, I hear you my friend. I just like being devil's advocate.

 

[seattlechiquita]

ok, duh question: has this case been profiled on TV somewhere?

I don't think so although all the TV crime shows I watch have a verdict at the end or are trying to get new leads on a still missing person's case.

Has anyone heard that Brett Seacat tried to forge his wife's suicide note but that blew up on him because co workers caught him tracing his wife's penmanship on paper?

 

[Jewels53]

According to this article dated on May 16th, 2013 Brett Seacat plans on testifying. I guess we will see if he does.
