Jury on the way in for prosecution closing. #TravionSmithTrial http://abc11.tv/1giDDkx

Concessions are interesting (by defense)

- He was there with the other 2 codefendents
- He was in fact breaking into cars
- He did try to sell stolen goods
- He lied to police during his statements to them

Not surprisingly Dee blames murder on co-defendant Ronald Anthony. #TravionSmithTrial http://abc11.tv/1giDDkx #ABC11

I predict the jury will not accept this "Ron Anthony did it all" defense.

To avoid death penalty Anthony pled to 1st. Serving life w/out parole. #TravionSmithTrial http://abc11.tv/1giDDkx
