What is your opinion - did Chase Merritt murder the McStay family?

I firmly believe CM and CM alone is responsible for the murders of the McStay Family.

 

[AzPistonsGirl]

I think he did, but am so relived that we don't decide guilt by opinion. (not saying we do much better in some cases, though...)

 

[Karinna]

GUILTY as charged IMO.

 

[MsFacetious]

I truly have no idea.

 

[Meemaw12]

Guilty IMO. Prosecutors presented a very compelling case IMO.

 

[oceanblueeyes]

Guilty, beyond all doubt for me!

Imo

Lol, true. My opinion would be exactly the same as if I had been one of CMs jurors.

What's greater to realize about public opinions is they do not decide guilt even before a suspect is known or an arrest has even been made.

It's those premature public opinions I'm glad that doesnt decide guilt in a court of law. Thank goodness for that!

This poll result is very much inline with other polls about whether a defendant is guilty or NG.

It seems there will always be a few who will vote NG on each trial. Just the way it normally plays out.

Imo

Guilty. Still worried that guy will walk though. Uphill battle for the Prosecution.

 

[Paulette]

Guilty.

 

[MrsPC]

I don't believe in too many coincidences. 100% GUILTY

 

[LadyL]

I don't believe in too many coincidences. 100% GUILTY

yep

 

[Kavya01]

Bumping to front page with the statement that I too, believe that all the many coinciding coincidences so to speak, point to the defendant only.

 

[casesensitive]

Guilty.

 

[Jo in Calif]

Guilty!

 

[gitana1]

Yes. The evidence proves he's guilty, IMO.

 

[mom2chloe]

Guilty!

 

[oceanblueeyes]

Exactly.

So once again I will quote the wise words of ADA Rick Distaso that he said in his closing argument in the death penalty case against Scott Peterson since it very much applies to the Merritt case as well.

I believe THIS DT is even worse with wanting the jury to believe so many facts in evidence were mere coincidences.

' How many coincidences are you willing to believe, and still be able to call yourself reasonable minded people?'

May justice for the McStay family of four come soon!

imho

Maybe this has already been asked and answered, but is this poll asking if we believe he’s guilty, if we believe his guilt has been proved, both, or neither?

I didnt create the poll of course, but I believe they are asking our own personal opinion whether we believe he is guilty or not guilty.

Like Nancy Grace has said many times.

If you BELIEVE he or she defendant is guilty then the state has met their burden of proof to make you believe the defendant is guilty.

While I dont particularly care for Grace, I do agree totally with her on this one point.

It works either way for me. I 100% believe he is guilty beyond all doubt, and I do believe the state has met their BARD proof of guilt.


Jmo tho
