D'Alesandro says Johnny Wall thought Uta was an "obstacle," had hatred for her. #walltrial

Wall had the motive, means and opportunity, D'Alesandro said. Motive is the most compelling concept of this trial, he said. #walltrial

If I can do math (which is questionable, I admit) the jurors deliberated just over 7 hours before reaching decision. #walltrial

Thanks, Chelly! No surprise there at all but sometimes juries do surprise us.

I appreciate all of your posts during this trial. Although I didn't have a lot of time to follow it like I wanted to, you helped keep us up to speed.

Thanks again!

Thank you. Sorry I wasn't available to post more tweets. Glad the jury reached the right verdict. Seemed like a well-run trial.

Indeed, Chelly so many thanks to you. This trial was straightforward and simple in its presentation, unlike some other trials we have followed. I do wish it had been livestreamed. This was on my "must watch" list. I'm marking the date for sentencing on my calendar! Now!

Oh, no! I will be out of town that day! Thank goodness we have you here, Chelly. I know you will keep up informed! :loveyou:

Thank goodness for the verdict! I honestly believe it was the right verdict.

Thank you Chelly for the tweets! I live in Utah and I was very interested in this case; but between working full-time and kids... Luckily I could sneak on here a couple of times a day and keep up with your tweets!!

I am so happy for Uta's oldest son. He has been so brave in the face of this situation. And, I am extremely impressed with the family in how they have shielded the younger children from the press.

R.I.P. Uta. :rose:
