My first reaction to this was that she did back into him, but she was so drunk off her ass that she didn't remember, so in her own mind, she's innocent. But, I've been purposely ignoring any news stories about this. There's an update on Boston.com every day, and I just pass it by. I honestly don't care how this turns out. I did watch the documentary with my wife, since she was interested, but to me it didn't bring any clarity.

The only thing that concerns me about the case is the fact that about a week after the first trial was declared a mistrial for a supposed hung jury, the jury foreman came out and said they actually voted 12-0 to acquit her on 2 of the 3 charges, including the murder charge. Several other jurors backed up his statement. I don't know if this was an f-up on the jury's part or the judge's part in declaring a hung jury, but it doesn't make sense to me. Isn't each charge taken separately? She lost the appeal to throw out the murder charge for the second trial, so here we are. And now, I'm back to not caring. :mellow:

I heard on the Crime Junkie podcast that the judge is ALSO involved with one of the families, to the point where one of them called her "Auntie" when he was asked if he knew her. 

 

And...the missing CCTV footage from places like the library, where she would have driven by. The footage missing is literally like two random minutes. They also have proof of her connecting to O'Keefe's home Wifi around the time they said he died, shortly before she started leaving him those messages. 

All of the deleted phone stuff, pictures, google searches, the guy who literally took his phone to a military base to "throw it away" and destroy the SIM card. I dunno. There's seriously something focked up here.

I am not intimately familiar with this case but everything I've heard, read, or seen points to reasonable doubt.  What a waste of money these trials are.

The Aperture website state's he has a BS in Mathematics. He just admitted in court he does not.

They showed multiple documents with varying information on his credentials.  He doesn't appear qualified to do his job.

Yeah, I saw this. 

The judge telling the atty to stop questioning was maddening. 

 

Agreed about the judge. I think that's from the first trial. I don't think Brian Higgins has been called by the Prosecution in trial 2, so far. If they don't call him to testify, I would think the Defense will.

Higgins has some questions to answer about his 130am trip to the Canton police department. In trial 1 he said he went there to move cars out of the way for the snow plow . Now that some video surfaced things seem more than a little bit off.

Yea, not sure what to make of that. I think it was his job to clear snow there. I don't see anything nefarious, but I feel like there may be something to this.

They have a contractor plow the lot. The now retired and deceased police chief Berkowitz  gave him a  “courtesy “ office in the building . Higgins said he moves all the cars in the lot so the plow can clean it

Also for shites and giggles there is this fun tidbit…..
“At Ken Berkowitz retirement party, which was organized by Higgins, Higgins  made a joke saying:

“If you need to hide a body, Ken Berkowitz is your guy.” “

Ken Berokowitz supposedly found red taillight pieces on the street near where John O'Keefe's body was found days after he died, while driving by on his day off.

Watched the first trial. Should have been found ng but jurors were confused on the instructions.

This time around, still a joke with a biased judge & cw with no case.

Attorney Alessi is gold. Watch him closely on cross. He plays with these rats before boxing them in & killing them. Calm, cool collected compared to Jackson. Very patient & methodical.

Today he completely obliterated Shanon Burgess today with all his lies & shocking details of what is corruption. Alessi is genious. He charges $1800 an hour but is doing this pro bono.

I watch Emily D Maker, AV to the 7th Power, Law & Lumber, Runkle of the Baily & The Lawyer You Know. They break ìt all down.

Nope. Aperture was hired to refute Aarca. The accident reconstructionist was a trooper, trooper Paul ( a joke) that got desimated on cross by the defense.

It won't be him but his boss Dr. Wechler. But still... I have never rolled my eyes & laughed so hard watching a trial. 🤣 YSL is close though with master defense attorneys Brian Steel, Max Shardt. Another wtf trial.

If Bev had any ethics & wasn't corrupt & so biased, this trial would be over by now...

Edited by artista928
changed who will be testifying on cross when Aarca is on...

If you want to watch nightly recaps with a criminal defense lawyer that makes you 🤣🤣🤣with his analogies & commentaries...watch @RunkleOfTheBailey at 5:30 pm PT. Highly recommend watching his Monday 5/19 livestream. He hadn't seen it. On Fridays @LawandLumber does the weekly recap on cases & Ian Runkle is usually a guest. Timeis around 5:30 pm Pt.Always great laughs with these 2 lawyers breaking things down.🤣🤣🤣🤣

Interesting how the judge wants to speak with each of the jurors privately on this case. 

Her bias is showing.

I missed it too but it's been revealed from sources inside the courtroom that the jurors seating has been changed. Some were seen chatting during non testimony time. Could be not about the case, just chit chat.

Bev had admonished the jurors on Friday for making faces during testimonies.This is my guess.

A young jury, all in late 20s/30s imo is great for the defense. I think they can easily spot bs from the cw. CW is running out of witnesses, probably done next week. Defense may call for directed verdict or maybe mistrial... I can't wait!

Runkle is bomb, especially in this bs trial. 🤣 I look for Mark, too. He's a frequent guest for lawtubers. He was going to join the defense team but was denied. He would have been bomb too. Fits right in with this 5 star defense team.

It might have been from last week, but I just saw it. That she had some kind of special announcement, made cameras leave and then asked to speak with each juror individually.

Ah, ok. 

I am not watching or listening to anything live, so what I get is probably a few days old.

I'm addicted to this case so I'm watching it all with my fav lawtubers commentary & recaps.

Emily D Baker predicts CW will rest Wed/Thurs. No court until Tuesday. Seems there may be issues getting witnesses in until then is the thought of why no court till Tues.

If you haven't watched the whole trial, just watch the defense on cross for all the cw's witnesses..

Remember too the Defense doesn't have to prove a thing. She needs to be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. They just need to have poked one hoĺe..This sloppy investigated case screams reasonable doubt...

Here's a big one. The cw's medical examiner could not even say there was a homocide!
