what kind of theatrics is this defense attorney employing here? he's struggling with his voice cracking on behalf of his client? how pathetic. slap in the face to the family and friends of jennifer.
shame on him.
Well, pretty much, his defense strategy seems to be:
1) It can't be proved that Jen was murdered
2) Her body wasn't found earlier due to shoddy police work
The theatrics are meant to emphasize what a shame it was that she wasn't found until the elements and animals had defaced her corpse.
Of course, he ignores the fact that his client opposed community searches for her body, tried to mislead police into believing that she'd left voluntarily with another man, and that actually, her body would have been covered with snow within about 4 days after her death (when the snows set in), and it wasn't until that time that her van was found, which was clear indication that she was most likely the victim of foul play, so it would have been at that time that police came and investigated the house and grounds and searching likely areas for her body.
