IMO the frame-up defense is dead in the water. All these little details defy Occam’s razor. (The paramedic testifying that she said “I hit him” “I hit him” over and over pretty much kills the frame up defense on the 1st day of trial) There will be a lot of useless expert testimony from defense I’m sure. Ugh. They should’ve just went with she didn’t know she hit him or it was an accident. The defense should’ve been “it’s ludicrous to suggest she murdered him.” Beating the murder rap should’ve been the priority.
Well, we're two days into an eight-weeks long trial. I think that might be a little early to declare the defense "dead in the water". We've already had them spring a couple of surprises on us: Proctor texting about nudes with his HS buddies and Jen McCabe apparently going into the residence. They were able to obtain a great deal of information from the federal grand jury proceedings, so who knows what else they have up their sleeve. Once all the evidence is out there, then we can discuss Occam's razor. It doesn't have any validity until you've fairly heard both competing hypothesis.
And I disagree about "useless expert testimony." I desperately want to hear how those wounds were inflicted on JO's body and what that means in terms of how he died. I want to hear from both the prosecution and the defense experts. Supposedly, the defense has three experts originally brought in by the FBI. I would expect these aren't your typical hired guns, but we'll see.
And I also want to hear about the infamous google search. Did it happen in the middle of the night or the next morning? I really have no idea.
I know a lot of people have pre-judged this case, and I too have my opinions. But I'm trying to go in with as open a mind as possible and see what comes out during the trial.
