Just spoke with one of the jurors—he said a key piece of evidence that helped them come to a decision was the gray and yellow backpack. @KVUE Prosecutors say we saw that backpack in the storage room, in the surveillance video, and again in dashcam video from the vacant building

Austin Police Detective Anthony Nelson spoke with Criner before arrest. Jury never saw video. Nelson tells me: "He is the most calculated and manipulative individual that I've ever met. Very well trained. Trained, I don't know how. Maybe it's natural. He is very good."

Guilty verdict in Michaiel Criner trial

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Haruka Weiser's father says he will fight to keep Meechaiel Criner behind bars forever

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One juror explains how they came to the guilty verdict in Meechaiel Criner's case

Family, attorneys respond to guilty verdict in Haruka Weiser case
"...The jury foreman said the jury took more than 10 hours to review the evidence because they wanted to make sure the state had proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt.

“There was just way too many things that lined up to be coincidences,” the jury foreman said. “When you combine all of the elements together, to be a coincidence at that point, it just becomes so implausible, it's unbelievable."...

Ariel Payan, Criner’s lead defense attorney, said they would be appealing the verdict, but had no further comment."

Meechiael Criner will not get a new trial in murder of UT student

Meechaiel Criner, 20, was found guilty in July of killing Haruka Weiser in 2016. His attorneys appealed, saying he should get a new trial.

The judge acknowledged that while the defense had found new evidence, the circumstantial evidence of Criner's guilt was "overwhelming." He said the new evidence would in "no way" affect the guilty verdict. He denied a motion for a new trial.
