Trial - Ross Harris #9

[minor4th]

See that? "Grave suspicion" is not sufficient to form the basis for conviction.

Glad Kilgore called it what it is - preposterous.

Ross lived a preposterous life, imo. His demeanor after the tragic death was preposterous. So I don't think it is that much of a stretch to think the worst about him in this mysterious case. jmo

Maybe, but that's not proof beyond a reasonable doubt. It's speculation.

Thankfully, the jury isn't allowed to convict him because they "think the worst of him."

oh no, he's continuing to speak

 

[blue22]

He has talked so much, he doesn't even remember what he means to say. Long pauses to read his papers.

Why does Kilgore sound like he's finally going through puberty?

I don't love or hate either side here, but I do think Kilgore is likely losing them. He needs to pack it up.

Kilgore telling it like it is - State wants you to believe that Ross did despicable things (sexts,, hookups) so he must have murdered Cooper. But there's no connection

He continues to repeat himself. I'd be furious if I were on the jury.

No, but it may take away their reasonable doubt factor.

There is a connection if you see it as a motive.

Using Leanna's words, Kilgore has "said too much." Time to wrap this up. Stick a fork in it.

It goes to his motive, imo. It takes away the reasonable doubt factor if they think he had a strong enough motive to want to free himself from family burdens. jmo

Kilgore continues:

The lead defense attorney says the state's complaints about the way Harris and his then-wife reacted to Cooper's death is nonsensical.

"None of us knows how we would react to that particular trauma," he says. "Nobody knows."

Kilgore says the state's strategy by putting up all the evidence and testimony about Harris's sordid secret life is designed to cover him with so much slime that the jury will find him guilty.

"None of that, none of that has got anything to do at all with Ross forgetting Cooper on June the 18th. It hasn't got ANYthing to do with it. Nothing. How does Ross getting fellatio in a car in Tuscaloosa a year and a half before Cooper died, how does that have anything to do with Cooper's death? At all?

"We all see what this is all about. The state wants to bury him in this filth and doubt -- of his own making -- so that you'll believe he is so immoral, so reprehensible, that he could do this. ... The problem is, the testimony that Ross loved Cooper is unrebutted."

It sounds to me like Kilgore is telling the jury to find JRH guilty of the underage girl charges. Like he is agreeing he needs to be punished but not for murder.

"Reaping the whirlwind.". Suggesting RH is already going to be punished severely on the minors charges.

Yes, there has been no defense on the sexting with minors charges.

Trying to seem sincere about convicting on some charges so they won't on others...is not working for me.

 

[just the facts pls]

IMO it all goes to JRH's pattern of behavior and him losing tolerance for his adult responsibilities.

Cheating and blow jobs? In a post-Jerry Springer society, none of that is really a surprise.

What IS shocking (to me) is that nobody really knew him, he expressed a great deal of resentment about being married with a kid without ever doing anything about it, and was texting about escaping his son only moments before leaving him in a car so small the car seat can't be missed.

Good job in listing all of the reasonable doubts.
