Allocution could have been made a condition of his plea agreement.
My theory is the witness wasn’t killed is that the perpetrator was truly exhausted by then
Remember, Bryan’s family lived on the other side of the country. It would be impractical to take weeks off work, even if they wanted to attend court proceedings.
How can the medical examiner say they were all killed in their sleep if they ordered food at 4am and the killer left at 4:40?
It is Lay-tah County. This is an Indian word, and you have mispronounced it consistently, even after local interviewees modeled it correctly. Ugh.
He can never hurt anyone ever again? Good to know Ohio prisons are immune to violence.
The audio on this session is very disappointing, I could only make out a small portion of Elizabeth’s testimony
It’s been said the jury needs to know how the victims died, but why? The purpose of the trial is to determine guilt or innocence, and unless the autopsy evidence is directly relevant -- tying the recovered bullets to a defendant’s specific weapon, for example-- can’t we just stipulate to manner and cause of the deaths? If there is a separate sentencing phase, they could introduce it then.
Did Angela watch the murders on those surveillance equipment?
I haven’t heard anyone ask if Tabitha got her son back after the Wagner’s were arrested...
Patricia insists that the wives were not afraid of Jake and George, but considering they were choked, chased, threatened with bats, struck and more, they certainly should have been. The man who would have give George his blessing if he’d had a daughter... Wow.
You are never satisfied until you know everything, yet you decide for the audience how much is too much? You are reporters, not censors.
Are there going to be new episodes? A lot going on and no updates.
I agree with both of the comments above. I hope the house being demolished doesn’t cause him to wall free all bc they couldn’t wait. Just like with piketon jurors toured the crime scenes. I pray it doesn’t affect the outcome in anyway.
I concur with the first comment. Additionally, I think based on the timeline & the fact that the university was paying for the security of the home, I think the decision to demolish was financial. The university will lean on the emotional aspect of this situation to justify the demolishing of the house. Of course, to me, the site should be torn down eventually. Ultimately, I think it was an error to demolish the site of the crime until after the conclusion of the trial. I hope justice is served.
In my opinion, the prosecutors should have emphatically refused to let the house be torn down until after the trial was over. I find it hard to believe that the house was in too bad or condition to allow for people to tour through it. Taking the jurors through the house would have been a great tool to bring them into the entire horror of what happened on that terrible night.
The DNA on the button may have been a small amount, but surely the DNA under Kaylee’s fingernails would have been substantial. Why didn’t we hear more about that?
