Thanks Palomine and jrb0124 - really great job!!!

Wow! this trial is moving very fast! I've often thought when a person has money to afford high-priced attorneys, they will drag a trial on for as long as possible so that jury becomes confused, which creates reasonable doubt as a result of their heads spinning from days of testimony...

Probably that's a reason he didn't testify - if he did he could have been asked...

this defense won't allow his clients to take stand

Wow. Quickest case brought to trial in a long time and almost done. Hopefully the jury will be quick with their guilty verdict as well.

lawyers met in chambers to discuss jury instructions...no objections from pros

defense had objection but couldn't hear it

Pros: Mr. Beebe says to himself police are here blood is there they’re not going away, probably going to find a lot of evidence. #BeebeTrial

Beebe shook his head 'no' when the prosecutor said he was a murderer. Otherwise has shown little emotion during the trial.

pros: JB's own mother acknowledged that TH wanted her to drive her out there because she (TH) knew he was there.

pros: Expectation at 10:00 AM that people were going to be there.

pros: JB didn't know Buddy was running late had every reason to expect those 2 will showing up at 10:00.

pros: JB claims he was there for a sexual encouter, his claim (according to pros)...but given narrow timeframe, if any truth to that at all why now stay at the Henslee residence? why tromp through hundreds of feet of snow to go to this trailer for that purpose?

Prosecutor uses statements made in videotaped confession to suggest Beebe was only worried about himself, no remorse.

pros: you've heard that AH is shot in the trailer. I don;t know for a fact she wasn't - there is no physical evidence of it, no evidence AH was ever in that trailer at any time. Def says pros has no scenario, I am going to give you one now just as good as JB's

pros: JB goes to Henslee house to pickup AH (sex, drugs, some other pretense) lets hypothesize that as true...explains her leaving house in pajama bottoms and tennis shoes. They go westbound...I don;t know exactly what happened, but something goes bad - argument disagreement, AH wants to go home - you know AH was assaulted (bruises and abrasions) nothing in JB's story to explain that. Somewhere along this morning she goes these bruise and abrasions...whether attempt to force sexual relationship on her, argument...any number of things to create this situation where the anger or fear of being reported to police causes him to grab his shotgun wherever it may have been, and he shoots AH. probably out neat the trailer. then TH comes along and discovers what he's done, says "no I am not going along with this"...he says "yes you are"...that's as reasonable a story as his.

pros: I have a tape measure for you (jury) to play around with. We know that the thigh route to Ah 6 inches or less from front to back below upward slight her left to right - right in crotch area.

pros: how in the world does injury to AH thigh occur given what he says happened, end of barrel well above waist for someone 5'2" how is she shot in direction and angle, not possible. Shot#2 in chest

Pros:

Defense has not mentioned or explained how Amy got all the bruises on her body!

Prosecutor has another scenario, saying perhaps Amy was lured from home under false pretenses, killed somewhere else.

pros: (demonstrating positioning in trailer to show no way shots could have occurred at angles and distances JB says given length of shotgun, position of bed, height of trailer, height of people involved) Shot#2 only possibly if AH sitting up...possible only. TH has shot to back of head pretty straight 6" contact wound. Only gunshot evidence in trailer is doorknob consistence with birdshot. If TH shot in trailer and it was contact wound, door was open. shot that don't hit her hit the door, gives us a location of where she was when she was shot. Other wound right begind ear 3-4 feet away below upward, most likely scenario someone laying on the ground and someone standing over them fires into the back of their head.
