Maybe, but I get the vibe that he wanted his wife to SEE Juliana as she died, to be humiliated, naked, wounded, and knowing JM would be in her daughter's life instead of her. It's all sooooo depraved and I think a big motive for BB was to hurt his wife emotionally as well as physically. To smear her in the face.
His whole case was mess, IMO but then he had little to defend. His whole case was framed around JMs "recant"... that really stuck in his craw like that never happens where there are two or more defendants. She was an opportunist from the get go why stop now.
Today. Guilty.
I was a juror on a murder trial over 30 years ago (also in the DMV area), and while we had made our collective guilty verdict early on (it was also on a Friday I believe when we got the case), we decided to wait till the next day to at least give the appearance that we had been deliberating a lot longer than we actually did. Ì often wonder how common that occurs on juries in what I can best describe as a slam dunk case for the CA.
When BB's attorney was throwing out all of those names to the IRS boss, didn't it seem as though BB was writing these down for him? As if to say, "I did have a meeting scheduled! With all these other people, though." And then his attorney tried to ask another question after the prosecution finished their rebuttal. That had to be BB writing a note.
I was wondering where Carroll got all that information from and so fast.
I think this is not a far-fetched idea at all. He stabbed her in the neck 7 times for goodness sake. That's a lot of rage and contempt. For the woman you spent 20 years with and had a child with? To be able to do that is so depraved. So it wouldn't surprise me at all if he wanted her to see Juliana in the room and know what was happening before she died. Sick!
He arranged for a stranger to enter their home without her knowledge and rape her. That screams disdain to me, not just getting rid of an unwanted wife.
This jury ends today at 4:30 due to a juror having to leave by then and it as announced by the judge earlier in the week.
I completely agree. Then to destroy her reputation as well.
Maybe when they are sequestered? But they weren't originally scheduled to even have court today, they were just making up for days missed due to snow days.
Yet in the long time period between the murders and her arrest he did not marry her. I think he was more motivated by $ than love for JPM.
Good question. The last minute nature of the boss testifying made it seem like it was new. I guess he was trying to say all these other people were interviewed but presumably none of them denied there was a meeting. Not sure.
