@ttjo

This is in stark contrast to the trial of the accused killer of Corey Micciolo where we've seen two, sometimes three days of testimony per week, with sometimes 1 witness a day??

I swear that Judge (Ryan) in NJ is planning on his 4-5 tee times a week!!!! LOL

This is too open and shut, people in SD don't mess around and this Virginia transplant TikTok wannabe poser wife murderer isn't gonna get much sympathy.... they allowed WAAAAAAY too much effing backstory on this guy!!! Objection! Relevancy!
Objection! Relevancy!

its open and shut no question, he did it, video taped it, sent a crime scene photo to his mom, confessed to both parents, and caledl 911 to get them medical assistance and after that It was pretty much a runaway train. I mean, how much more evidence does anyone need? I do have empathy for his life story, but his accountability does come off as a little bit of no, maybe alot of "I was driven to this" he admits to his wrongs but qualifies it with the mixed messages he felt he was getting from her. He really believes her mixed messages were a contributing factor to the murder. I dont know if thats gonna fly for the jury.

One more thing... when he said she gave me mixed messages, " one day she didn't want to be with me because of the cheating, another day it was because of the coke, another time it was because of the abuse , she was never really clear with me" Really? it wasnt clear? I mean there is such a thing as a bottom line. He just could not believe this. That prosecutor was pretty good.

 

[Curious Me]

This is what I missed in today's proceedings.
Glad I found it to catch up on this important
cross-examination. MOO, he wanted to be a
actor, and he could've been. He's a very fast thinker with fast come-backs in his defense. Sad, but there's no erasing the past.

The Prosecution Cross-Examination video ended with them taking a recess break and there's no continuing video.

​

Clare Bennamon, a friend of Ana's also testified.

So, I found this testimony from a friend of Ray Barron's who knew Ana, Ali, and daughter Amir also. Initially, Gene Smith says he really liked and related with Ali Abulaban, but as time went on that changed. ​

What is the defense hoping for in this case? A miracle? He was violent towards her prior to the murder and he killed her out of rage cause she was leaving him. I hate to say this but I’ve never seen a defendant appear so cooperative on cross exam. He seems deluded and honest in a strange way. JMO

I'd be shocked if he's not convicted on murder one charges and sentenced to LWOP. I'd bet the violence was going on long before they moved to San Diego.

That will be interesting to see Murder 1 or if he will have convinced the jury it was in the heat of passion. Im sure there were things before, probably got worse when they moved to San Diego and away from his support system and he felt that loss of control increasing.

I know, that's why I thought that (deluded honesty) felt like he was so sure that if he told the story people would see how he felt provoked. Thats the story they tell their victims to make them stay. its always worked before right?
Instead, people are seeing the typical phase in a DV cycle, when the abuser is literally on their knees begging for you to come back and you Lash back, the only time you feel safe enough to stand up to them.

Wow, the cross today shows an argumentative AA. Very smooth and likable with defense. Ray's a bad and crude guy in AA's opinion (We only have AA's word of Ray's behavior). Typical narcissist. I was hoping the prosecution would rattle him. Almost, but not so far. Prosecution is doing a good job today (but MOO). I feel so bad for Amira.

Gaslighting comes to my mind. Have they had any witnesses come in to attest to his brutal upbringing? I'm sorry to be late to this case.

I think gaslighting is the narcissist's game.

Trust me, dude, she wasn't sending you mixed messages, you weren't listening.
She just wanted to get away from you and was scared.

This is where I watch, COURT TV and this was the last one posted they dont usually come out till around 230 ish

This reminds me so much of the Nicole Brown Simpson murder. MOO. Experts claim the most dangerous time in a DV abuse victims life is when they initially leave. The perpetrator cannot bear that they're losing someone. This isn't the usual crime of passion killing when the person comes into their own home and walks in on an amorous situation.
