Trial - Ross Harris #9

[Boodles]

Thanks Mr Kilgore for showing the video Mr. Boring didn't get around to.

IMO it's clear he turned around he looked the second time he paused.

but he just told the jurors that Ross did not turn! I'd be asking for that video in the jury room and doing a slo-mo review. I think he stopped and turned.

I'm glad Kilgore played that video again, I don't see Ross turning round at all there.

I hope Kilgore's almost finished. Really boring. Worse than Boring

Kilgore continues:

He reminds the jury of its early morning visit to the courthouse parking lot to view Harris's 2010 Hyundai Tucson, the vehicle in which Cooper died and, according to the prosecution, "the murder weapon."

He tells the jurors that they knew to look for the car seat when they went out to see the car.

"It's easy to see what you're looking for. In fact, it's impossible to miss what you're looking for. ... How do we know that Ross didn't see Cooper. Because he didn't freak out right there in the parking lot and pull him out of the car like he did at Akers Mill (when, according to Harris, he discovered Cooper was still in the vehicle).

"It's real clear that he didn't turn his head. It's real clear that he can't see something that's behind him."

If they jury remembers their viewing, thy will remember a head turn wasn't required. Cooper was NEXT TO HIM.

He's dragging it out on purpose. He already said he doesn't get to go in front of the jury twice like the pros, so he's going to be long.

<modsnip>

I'm hoping he finishes up in 15 minutes for lunch.

He's just rambling, not giving any facts.

Great point!!!!! LE suspecting Leanna, though their theory was RH wanted to be free of her. so she conspired with Ross to kill Cooper so Ross could be free of her. Awesome exposure of their utter failure to even think through their own case against RH.

 

[rob]

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

I would guess before he had to send a large portion of his paycheck with them. MOO

 

[monkeypants]

Ummm this LH stuff ridiculous...she isn't on trial!! He's just talking cuz he is afraid to rest.

 

[blue22]

I'm glad Kilgore played that video again, I don't see Ross turning round at all there.

I saw it when they introduced other angles. (I think it was during the testimony of the guy who cleared up and enlarged the video.) It was not something I could clearly see before that. Hopefully, they jury will request a viewing of all videos.

"Cockamamie"

Powerful stuff, peeps.&#8206;

 

[just the facts pls]

I don't even think it was LH. I think he had never in his life had such sexual success with women and he had lost his mind because of it. people get addicted to , sex, living dangerously, etc... It's a lot more exciting than being a dad, a husband, going to work everyday (though he doesn't seem to be doing much work) providing for the family.
I think he decided he wanted the single life, in a big city, with his playboy self.
:happydance:

Your post made me laugh.

But seriously, he kept telling people he would have left if it weren't for Cooper. LH said the same thing albeit for a different reason. She had invested almost a decade of her into JRH and wasn't giving up anytime soon (and she only divorced him two months before the original trial was set to begin).

One thing is for sure - JRH was not a happily married man having his cake and eating it too.

Kilgore goes on and on:

Kilgore then talks about what he calls the state's ludicrous assertion that Harris's then-wife, Leanna, was somehow complicit.

"We also heard from Det. Stoddard during the trial that Ross's former wife, Leanna, has been a suspect during the entirety of this investigation. Not actively, right now. They just didn't have enough for probable cause. Well, if the theory is that Ross murdered his treasure to free himself of this marriage to Leanna, how in the world could she be involved in the conspiracy to do that? How is that possible?
Leanna's going to assist Ross in murdering their little boy so he can free himself of a marriage to her. It sounds absolutely ludicrous.

"But if Leanna has been a suspect for two years, that's what you would have to buy ... that is the cockamamie story that you have to buy. It's absolutely ridiculous. And yet with no evidence whatsoever, she's been a suspect. Did you kind of get the feeling that the detective was just itching to tell us that she was still a suspect? Did any of you get that feeling?

Like Ross, she didn't cry enough in front of them. She didn't grieve enough in front of them on the worst day of her life."

I know. At this point I'm not even listening very much because I know it's just a rehash of what they've already said.

At this point I'm just ready for the madness to be over.

So why didn't Ross smell the urine soaked diaper?

 

[ScotAng]

My my Kilgore. There are people on this jury with LE connections. Making this all about them's not too clever.

Another thing he's just given the jury - food for thought about Leanna, therefor Ross - if they didn't have it before.

 

[GA_Peach]

It's interesting that MK is talking about everyone's behavior, with the exception of the defendant's, during his closing statement. Deflection from Ross's own actions is the only way to a not guilty verdict IMO. However, it is also very telling.

Will we hear any mention of FBS? Ross's fatigue? His stress? I bet not.

The jury must be furious, aka fangry.

 

[blue22]

Thank you, for all the live updates. I could not hear the information Kilgore was presenting past his squawking.

Ready for the jury to get this case.

I truly hope justice for Cooper prevails

 

[monkeypants]

Hate to break it to ya bubba but the smell of a urine soaked diaper and sweat that was sitting on a 125 degree seat in a closed up car would absolutely smell differently than his car did when he drove there that morning.

 

[just the facts pls]

So why didn't Ross smell the urine soaked diaper?

It would have been more believable if he said that JRH was "used to" smelling dirty diapers and therefore yadda yadda.
