Body cam footage damaging to defense. He said on 911 call that he was tendering aid. Remember CB lived until she arrived at the hospital. BB taking the stand could really go sideways for him.

taking the stand. he was so easy to hate. terrible actor.

His colleagues have to know that he is lying by the way he is acting. He thinks he is smart enough to trick everyone. He’s not smart at all. Starting with getting involved with the nanny of his child.

It’s baffling that he orchestrated two murders for this for the average looking nanny. She’s just not the type that many married men would risk everything for. She isn’t intelligent, nor does she have anything to add to his finances so it’s just odd.

agree. age difference as well. nut jobs both of them.

JM was able to put BB at the scene. That, and it would be difficult for someone to pull this off when English isn’t their primary language. She doesn’t have that same “sophisticated” sense like BB does. He is use to being ambiguous and savvy with his job description.

Even with that, he missed some important points to not become a suspect. No Burner phones, no activity on the Fet site after the deaths, posting photos with his fling versus a true grieving husband and more.

He doesn’t realize how guilty he looks in court. The fake tears on cue whenever Christine’s trauma is revealed isn’t working for him. As soon as something is said that is really uncomfortable for him he wipes his eyes. It’s robotic. He can’t pull it off.

he is not street smart.

The murderers decided this man was expendable.

They were wrong.

He was a real person, with a real life, with people who loved him.

It was the murderers who were expendable.

Not much humanity in either of them, and none in them together.

hard to believe there are people like these 2 out there.
