I wasn't able to watch the entire testimony today. Between phone calls, family drama, taking grandsons to play ball and such, missed the end of the day with the mom. I'll comment in a minute on this last witness.
I do realize that while I did post some of the conversation of the first testimony, I believe I forgot to say anything about the lead detective this am, say that J purchased a PAIR of shoes before meeting up with LE that day, prior to him getting back home. Well.....................then where are the shoes he wore to the meeting earlier? Did LE find the NEW shoes that were on the receipt? The witness said, IIRCC, J was wearing leather, dress shoes. Where are the EXTRA shoes?
As far as the def lawyering up PRIOR to meeting with LE, sorry, NONE of the EXCUSES satisfy this Websleuther. One who's spouse was brutally murdered, would refuse to talk to LE before lawyering up. NOPE! Just doesn't work for me. I don't care if the 'man-in-the-moon' told him to get a lawyer! first. IF he were innocent, he'd have nothing to hide. IF he's guilty, it was a smart move.
Now, for his mom. I don't find a problem with her talking about J in a loving way growing up. It doesn't matter a 'hoot!' how happy they were when they got married and, or, when C was born. This isn't about when they got married or when they had C.
This is about the night/day of 11/02 and 11/03, when Michelle was brutally murdered! It is about J cheating with not ONE, but TWO! women shortly before Michelle was murdered along with their UNBORN son. This is about his wife who was murdered, that just days before, J told his friends he was DONE! (referring to Michelle and marriage).
Nope, his childhood, life, education, it all doesn't matter when one turns to murder. There are no bounds. No borders. Just justice.
I still feel IF this witness had cared one wit for Michelle, she would have, at the least, shown some emotion when she spoke of Michelle and how good of a mother she was and giving birth to and going on vacation with, her precious daughter AND the grandson that was lost in the same crime, before he ever had a chance to breathe just one tiny little wisp of air.
JMHO
