I know it’s not supposed to be necessary for a conviction, but are any of you bothered that the prosecution cannot tell the jury who did what to whom and when? I have no reasonable doubt that the 3 were involved in the conspiracy to commit these 3 murders and therefore equally guilty of them, but it does bug me that after all this time, there is no definitive answer to those questions. It doesn’t seem possible to me that CD or LVD or AC were smart enough (not sure that’s the right word - maybe savvy enough?) to be able to cover their tracks well enough that we can’t know exactly what happened. Was it just because it took so long to find the remains of Tylee & JJ? Were they really careful enough not to be seen loading or unloading bodies by neighbors, cameras, family, etc? Was there really no evidence to find in either LVD’s or AC’s apartments to determine whether a murder or murders were committed there? Was it just the amount of time that passed or dumb luck or what?
I think prosecution can give evidence to support a theory as to who did what to whom when...when they have it.
But if they don't have such specific evidence to present, they obviously can't present it.
For example, they can present evidence that Alex Cox attempted to shoot Tammy Daybell at a certain time. But, in contrast, they can not present evidence that anyone in particular did a particular thing to Tylee causing her death at a particular time (unless they have evidence not yet presented).
still, the prosecution can and has convicted on murder for Tylee based on the evidence that is available.
I think the murderers appear to have some skill in cleaning a crime scene. (Again, unless there is evidence with which we are not aware.) Duct tape is sticky. I'm just guessing, based on my day to day life, but it seems rather unlikely that there would be so few hairs on JJ's remains if they were handled casually, even given the time that passed, being that evidence stuck in tape is pretty well protected from the elements.
(This is an amateur analysis- more knowledgeable peoplle, please correct and/or expand.)
I think their use of burner phones was a bit sloppy- "Hi, this is me on my burner phone. Just send me a "speak no evil" emoji on my regular phone and I'll call you back from this one." But the sheer number of phones and email addresses deserves a dishonorable mention. If they had just kept the numbers separate and didn't call old numbers for friends with new numbers, it would have worked better.
I also think their arrogance and lack of shame bought them time. Lori, especially, never seemed nervous or guilty.
May they all come to understand the damage they have done and suffer greatly for the rest of their lives.
MOO
