lease:

There is a lump in my throat every time I come to check on this trial. All those emotions when the story came out, the horror, its all right here, right now, like it was this morning.

lease:

Let the jury see. Let them know.

 

[MsFacetious]

Okay so the defense finishes their closing tomorrow...

 

[SCHMAE]

Today this will go to the jury ? Praying for clarity and bravery for the jury!
This world is so gross and dark sometimes. It seems it's out of control when it comes to
hurting our babies. One of the only possible ways to deter a portion of it is swift, extreme punishment for those who are guilty. Even if it makes no other baby killer think twice, at least it'll keep these TWO from hurting anyone else.

And just so we're all clear... I support the death penalty and 100% more so in cases where a baby was killed by a S**** F****** A****** . Go get 'em jury!

Prosecutors end closing arguments with emotional appeal to convict Mario McNeill of killing Shaniya Davis
How? How? How?
"Asphyxiation," the prosecutor said, answering his own question.
Assistant District Attorney Robby Hicks then asked jurors if they remembered what the pathologist had told them about what happens during airway obstruction. That it takes at least two minutes or more to smother someone to death.
"For two minutes and more!" Hicks blurted out loudly, trying to drive home his point.

Yeah. The feces covered blanket, porch railing, brother's statement I'm assuming are part of that evidence.

And you can't tell me AD didn't know.

This was my fear all along. That it started in that trailer and he moved elsewhere because he wasn't done and her mother was concerned another of the occupants would put a stop to it before her "debt" was forgiven. I have worried about this since the reports of the feces on the porch rail

Bless this baby, may she get justice

Nicole Carr ‏@NicoleCarrABC11 1m
So far jury has asked for three items of evidence: pics from hotel, pics from #ShaniyaDavis brother's room and coroner's report

 

[believe09]

I assume we will start to see his origami showing up on Ebay and murder memoribilia websites.

I cant contain my horror. All I can do is pray. I am praying for the jury as well-I cant imagine what they have had to see and hear during this trial.

I guess his DT did the best they could do with a losing hand.

Not sure which of these is more accurate, if they don't want lunch or they want to delay lunch

Brandon H. Herring ‏@bhherring 1m
The jury has now asked for a picture of McNeill at the time of his arrest...also asked for 10 more mins before a lunch break. #ShaniyaDavis
