Closing arguments are expected any day now in the capital murder trial of Mona Nelson.

-----------------

He also testified that there was evidence Foster was hit in the chest at some point.

------------------------

He testified about a police interview that lasted about an hour and 15 minutes. He spoke about several different conversations on multiple topics, describing Nelson's testimony as choppy and he says that she was changing her story.

The prosecutor asked Brian Harris on the stand, "When did she first realize what she was dumping was a little boy's body?"

Harris replied, "She said when the investigator showed her the picture of the charred body and I told her I was that investigator."

The prosecutor asked, "Was there any discernible, physical reaction?"

Harris said, "No."

Closing arguments in Mona Nelson cap murder trial should be interesting.
Both sides close Monday at 10am #houston
 
Watching the 4PM KTRK (ABC) News on TV.

Deborah Wrigley, reporter, gave a "live" update in the hallway outside of the court room.

State rested its case shortly before noon.

Defense put on a "handful" of witnesses and rested their case.

One was a lady who claimed to have seen/been with Mona drinking during the time Jonathan went missing. On cross exam, the Prosecution produced a statement she gave police (at the time) that said otherwise.

Court adjourned early today.

No story or video posted yet; no Link.

KTRK (ABC) - Houston, TX

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Closing arguments are scheduled to begin Monday the capital murder trial of Mona Nelson after both sides wrapped up testimony on Friday.

Snipped:

After the state rested its case, the defense called a handful of witnesses, including a woman who knew Nelson and claimed that she and a friend were drunk at their apartment complex at the same time Jonathan was abducuted.

On cross-examination, Mary Whitt testified, "I kicked it with them. ... I wasn't drinking."

Snipped:

Final arguments will begin on Monday, then the case will be turned over to the judge. It is a bench trial and there is no jury. The judge will render the verdict.

Thank you for no pictures of the killer. I'm not dreading coming here anymore. :woohoo:

As far as a verdict, I can certainly wait. :(
I'm not confident. We've had too many miscarriages of justice lately for me to be confident. :furious:
A mistrial wouldn't surprise me at all... and I hope this jury is smarter than that. :please:

No jury. Just trial by judge. Easier for prosecution to convince a judge of guilt rather than a jury or 12. (HOPEFUL) :please:
 
We're getting real close to the end of the name of Mona Nelson! May her miserable life rot away in slow death in prison.

Jonathan Foster Case Archive:

I was away, but have caught up on this archive. About 7-8 pages of files cover the trial. In the archive, there is everything from Day 1 to now. The monsters boxing days, her first marriage, the charges when she beat up her daughter.... lots of stuff.
 
Renee, I hope you don't mind me using your picture(s), but what I did was add photos of smiling times.

Ms Facetious, I got the message. In the archive I have a lot of the monster. But here... a nice one.

I know you need to have pictures of her in the archive and that is perfectly fine. :seeya:
I also know that the news media will use them. Though I've always wished they'd use the victims picture.
I dream of an article about Jonathan's case with Jonathan's picture... Susan Powell's case with Susan's picture.
 
I don't mind you using them. I have some pictures that have never been shared. If there is one thing I'm always taking pictures, can't get those times back of when kids are young and having fun.
 
Amanda, I adore you for also posting pictures on the facebook page.
I've always been bothered by the lack of them there. (Not Renee's.)

You feel free to share pictures anytime you want Renee. You know we love them. :seeya:
(And feel free to PM me if you need help with them or something.)

Closing arguments tomorrow....I'd sure feel better if I could watch them live. :scared:

I'm going to have to pull pictures I have on an old hard drive and see what's on it, I'm hoping it will have even more pictures that I've forgotten about.
 
Closing arguments today!!

Life without parole tomorrow? Here's hoping!
