I often wondered if she was ready to leave him. That is the most dangerous time for a woman in a relationship with a man who is controlling or crazy.
If you consider the affair / the place in DC with rooms all ready for the kids/ all the sociopathic husband's troubles and all she learned about him and his pathoogy during their marriage....
It's a good bet she was totally ready to leave him. She was a smart woman and seemingly did not want to tip him off just yet. She and Fastow were having dinner after NY's to discuss short/long term.

Something tipped him off.

I wonder if Mommie dearest's PI had already come back with pictures. I think there is denial on the D side that the PI found anything? Ana and WF lived openly/ out to dinner etc in DC, sailing etc in DC per WF - if the PI could not find anything Mom must have hired one that never left Boston. And I doubt that scenario, bc per everything we have read, Mom is a very clever smart monied and wordly woman.

There is no doubt in my mnd that he knew he was yesterdays news. And correct, the most dangerous time for Ana.

I have every faith in this jury. They get it. How could you not.

If you are the jury forman, all you have to do is ask a hypothetical during deliberations.
"If your spouse/SO dies unexpectedly in your house would you try and hide it and then hack them up brutally in the basement and dispose of them ?"

ALL JMO

On another note
Imagine being that child who accompanied BW on his "errands" that day.
We see him in the pictures with his face thankfully blurred out
Once he is grown up and realizing what that day with Dad was all about...
The horror
It will be here online forever
The Monster robbed Anna of her life in a gruesome, horrible, repulsive way
The collateral damage is mind numbing

Fill me in guys other than BW placing Annas death in the bedroom do we have any other evidence that it did in fact occur there? Could he have fought with her in the kitchen? Pushed her down the basement stairs? Pursued her down with the knife?

Sorry if I missed some evidence of death occurring in bedroom pls let me know if so.

That is where I am with this. Kitchen, knive, basement. Shoving her down the stairs with an active blood wound is not working for me as I feel there would be more blood spatter. I wanna know where that rug that we saw cut up into a zillion pieces with blood was in the house. JMO

Wasn't that the rug Ana was exercising on - that the defense kept fighting over until the prosecution took a still from it and cropped the child out before the jury could see it?

So, in all my time at WebSleuths, I can't remember a case where someone innocent chopped up and disposed of a body. Am I naive, not very read, or does this happen all the time?
I can only think of one trial where the defendant dismembered the body but claimed they didn't murder the victim----that was the crazy old rich man from NYC---did the murder in Galveston---Robert Durst---claimed self defense, not murder

AND HE WAS ACQUITTED

I honestly don't remember. I have had more distractions than I would like during this trial that I have been waiting and waiting for I wish I had blocked out more time for this. That rug and it's placement in the house is important to me. Did she lay there bleeding out and did BW's slippers trample all over it with her blood. How far was it from the kitchen. These are questions I think the jury needs to know as well. I do think knife + kitchen but I also think there was a secondary location that she was placed prior to the bad acts in the basement. Perhaps an area on the main floor that allowed BW time to consider his next course of action.

I think the panic was real. But not because she experienced a SUD episode but because he knew the death would likely be tied back to him. Then the searches. The purchases. The clean up. The disposal. And finally reporting her as missing.

yes, many similarities with the defense in that case. It only takes one.
I don't think, hope, this defense is scaling that wall...yet.

Cross was the epic fail. When the prosecutor did re-direct, did he diccessfully sink the defense's cross?
diccessfully? So many possible interpretations of your new word....
 
  • #1,776
That's exactly what I was thinking---the Defense is trying to hammer home the point that there's 'no body' for the ME to examine.

But aren't they also showing the jury exactly why the defendant dismembered and dumped it?

If he hadn't done so, the ME could have examined her and diagnosed Leggionnaires Disease---OR NOT

This is rich.

Defense attorney is trying to imply that investigators contaminated the home.

He is being so dramatic and is trying anything to see if it sticks. I’m curious if this is his typical courtroom demeanor or if he is just floundering in this case.

This witness (CSO Dunleavy) clearly cared for Ana. They really valued her at Tishman Speyer.

Sad to hear that Ana didn't access her corporate accounts, credit cards, email, etc, etc after 12/30...

Obviously (she didn't breezes she couldn't because she was dead) but it's still hard to hear.

JMO
Her corporate security would have figured that out really quickly---once they saw that she hadn't accessed anything since 12/30.

That must have been chilling for them to see. They knew something was very wrong.

Ana, as a real person, seems lost in the State's presentation. So far, a very methodical, sterile, unimpassioned case...

Perhaps a strategy? As not to inflame? To protect against appeal?

It's just that he didn't murder an something unimpassioned.

She was a living, breathing, impassioned, lovely, nurturing, talented, very much alive human being, mother to littles.

I hope that's not lost to the jury.

JMO
They still have time to bring that home to the jury.

I think they will be calling relatives and friends to the stand, to talk about what BW told them when he called to ask if they'd seen her, etc.

And they can ask questions about her, during that time.

IIRC, she discussed this with her new boyfriend. She had set up her new condo in DC with bedrooms for her children, and said she wanted to tell her husband she was moving to DC with the kids.
