why is he making so many notes now? the trial's over Chase you're done

and he holds his pen weird

and I'm surprised there's no one there for closing arguments

 

[LadyL]

"cold, callous, collateral damage"

"what line do you have to cross to take the lives of a 3 year-old and a 4-year old?"

 

[Lilibet]

Showing hole in Joey’s skill. Pieces of Summer’s skill.
Up close and personal.

The DT's DNA was an algorithm, not ACTUAL DNA. There you have it folks.

I believe the Prosecution's final closing is effective enough for these jurors to vote DP.

Imes is doing an amazing job with the facts of this case.

 

[Edmo]

Is Daughtery going to bring in his past crimes? I SURE hope so. Recess til 1:30 pm pst.

No doubt he deserves the DP but I don't really want him to get it. I don't want him to get any automatic appeals paid for by the state. So long as he gets LWOP and it really means life with NO possibility of parole, I'll be satisfied.

I hope somebody introduces his past crimes. Maybe the family can when they give their statements.

Exactly

They told the model how many profiles were assumed

Whichever is worse for him, is what I'd like. From the little research I've done, that seems to be death row.

Yes me too. I’d like the DP hanging over his head on a daily basis and the restricted privileges that come with that. Also you never know when a new governor may come in and reinstate DP. Although CM prob be dead of natural causes by the time they get through the 700 inmates!

Honestly, I think it’s really disrespectful not to carry out the DP when a judge and jury have agreed it and gone through the process of making such a tough decision.

Fine if a state wants to suspend future DP sentences but you should follow up on those that have already been agreed in accordance with the law. What’s the point of having a process, laws and rulings otherwise!

I don't think California will ever have a governor that reinstates the DP. JMO

The family has already testified. We are in closing arguments about whether he deserves the DP, or not by the jurors. I'm HOPING Daughtery can now bring in his criminal past.

Death Row in Ca will mean MUCH more restrictive access CM will have in prison. No job, in his cell 24 hours a day, except for a couple hours a week for visit/Dr Call etc.

I remember watching a Documentary about Los Angeles' "Godfather" of a street gang that is on DR. He wasn't allowed out of his cell at all to film the doc, the camera crew had to enter his cell to interview him. He wrote some children books from prison trying to keep kids from committing crime. As always, documentaries are one-sided and he was still using his tricks to cry, "Poor Me."

I was referring to the victim impact statements. Maybe they can slip in some past crime info.
