Trial - Ross Harris #9

[ScotAng]

What on earth Kilgore? "What would Ross gain, probably destroy his job for what? His job??? Seriously shaking my head.

GREAT pic ED, and if you are the one on the right, you are PRETTY!

I'm the one on the right, but that pretty glow you see is ORANGE reflection, and not a natural blush

That, and a 7 mile hike in the mountains to track these bad boys down!

Kilgore is seriously suggesting that he was happily married?

After numerous texts that JRH would divorce LH if not for Cooper?

Now he is saying JRH had nothing to gain. Really? He would have gotten the divorce he wanted, the freedom he needed to chase teenagers and women, a modest insurance settlement, lifelong sympathy for his son's death, and a position as an advocate for FBS. There's a lot more but right now I'm just like. :facepalm:

I feel the same way. I can't stomach his closing anymore.

Yes, Leanna did ask him to pick up lightbulbs.

If so I missed it. Can you please direct me to the testimony?

It's really insulting to suggest others who have listened to the same evidence and drawn a different convolution, as not using common sense.

Kilgore is trying to pull his client down from the chopping block, period. He's taking the passive aggressive way of doing it. The...if you disagree with me, you don't use common sense angle...is risky and inherently insulting. I'm sure he'd just love to have a few folks in this thread on the jury.

:facepalm:

Kilgore closing continues:

The defense attorney argues that the chief premise of the prosecution -- that Harris wanted to jettison his son and his wife so he could have sex with multiple women and sext to his heart's content -- has a central flaw. "He was already doing what he wanted to do,"Kilgore says. " ... What in the world does he gain (by killing his son)? What has he accomplished? What is his reward? He's already doing whatever he wants to do."

Kilgore talks about why Harris left all the evidence of his sordid life on his phone.

"This is the real kicker. He doesn't even delete the Kik app on his phone. He doesn't delete the Whisper app? That';s where all of this filthy information comes from, and he doesn't even both to delete the apps. And then, that very day on the 18th, what does he do? He spends the day putting more filth on his phone, on the Kik app, on the Whisper app. ... All he's gotta do is delete the app. I think it's a good question to ask yourself, Why doesn't he?

"Isn't the most likely answer because there was no murder underway? He's got no reason to think anybody's going to be looking at his phone. No reason at all."

 

[just the facts pls]

Wait, a preeminent scientist about memory is not a professional witness?

WHAT.

LH testified she told Ross if she knew he'd had a physical affair she'd take their son and leave. With his escalation of his sexual behavior, that was going to happen sooner than later.

 

[JerseyGirl]

SMH at Kilgore.

 

[Hope4More]

That Brewer "wasn't a professional witness.". Making it a virtue to address whatever reservations jurors had about Brewer's performance on the stand.

Kilgore closing continues:

Now Kilgore turns to the defendant's daily routine -- when he took his son to breakfast at Chick-fil-A, when he went to the restaurant by himself and when he took Cooper to daycare at Little Apron Academy.

He points out that no Chick-fil-A employee said he or she had seen Cooper at the restaurant with his father between March 14 and June 18. "It was the exception. It wasn't the normal route. Taking Cooper for breakfast was clearly the exception. But he took him on June the 18th."

He cites testimony by a memory expert who said it was possible for Harris to forget Cooper was in the car "in seconds."

 

[blue22]

Wait, a preeminent scientist about memory is not a professional witness?

WHAT.

Seriously backtracking from their own expert.

Wonder how he feels about this.

 

[JerseyGirl]

Kilgore says Harris talked about Cooper during that day as his son was dying in his car, but that wasn't enough to remind him that Cooper was in the car.

So he better hurry up and kill Cooper before she found out?

 

[just the facts pls]

LH testified she told Ross if she knew he'd had a physical affair she'd take their son and leave. With his escalation of his sexual behavior, that was going to happen sooner than later.

Maybe... if she meant what she said. IMO LH will always love JRH no matter what. She says she has a new boyfriend but I think if JRH got out of jail and asked her to come back, she'd be back right away

She also testified that she would never want a divorce because of Cooper. I think both LH and JRH used Cooper as an excuse for inaction. LH didn't want to take action to get a divorce because she loved JRH too much and always held out hope he would finally treat her right. JRH didn't want to take action because he didn't want to harm his own image. IMO

Kilgore closing continued:

Kilgore: "Ross had taken Cooper to daycare so many times, he had lots of memories of that. Remember what he told Officer Piper: I could've sworn I dropped him off."

This was an example of what the defense's memory expert called "false memory."

A "misapprehension of fact" is not grounds for a criminal charge, Kilgore says. "The law calls that a mistake, not a crime."
