I think Jim does not believe that Alex is innocent.
‘He did that because he loves Alec’… damn
I so do not like the prosecutor and I still am not convinced the evidence convicts AM of murder…not that I like him much.
As a 15yr addict, all of Alex's testimony around drug use rings very true. It's frustrating to hear these attorneys talk about drug users as if they are all street junkies who can't form sentences. I was a functioning addict who could take huge amounts of Oxy's and still function normally. The only thing that separated Alex from the normal functioning addict was his ability to get his hands on gross amounts of money. If most addicts had his financial situation they would keep using until they died. Money is the number one thing that gets in addicts way.
Jim just feels like a chronic mansplainer.
Wow, Jim’s closing was the worst I have ever seen/heard. No wonder there were “rumours” that Alec was going to fire his team and do his own closing! I thought Jim and Poot would be really good at closing, because God knows they do not know their objections. Whenever they objected, and the judge asked on what grounds they would say 401, 402, 403, 404. Please, dear God say that Maggie and Paul are looking down and little detectives work is all for not. If this is a hung jury, it’s simply because people are scared because I think there are a lot of important people in that area that were/are involved in shady dealings with Alec. 🙏🏼
I don’t like Jim’s closing he keeps repeating words and sounds lost also having the defendants friend as his lawyer shouldn’t be allowed
Love you EDB!❤❤❤ 4:39:41
I’m interested in your opinion Emily…
Jim makes it pretty clear that he would not have taken Alex's case on if he knew that Alex had been at the kennels the night of the murders. Alex lied to everybody and only fessed up on the stand, hoping that by telling one piece of Truth people might believe him about other things. I think it destroyed all credibility and the state's timeline holds together. The state has convinced me that Alex is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. And the defense has failed to rock me from that position.
Jim kinda acts like he now knows the truth but has to fulfill his job duties. Very odd. Rattled. He seems.
Luv you! Where can we find your wrap hoodie u r wearing?
Just started…yikes. Idk this just…not a good rebuttal so far. He’s implying that the retired police chief lied? That they planted evidence? And why are they bringing up the T-shirt if the blood spatter expert wasn’t called..? Feels weak and grasping.
I don’t think Jim believes Alec anymore so the closing was very difficult for him because he is so close to this family.
How does the jury still have alternates?
If the "rain jacket" was the dads, or someone else's it would ALSO have DNA on it. It didn't have DNA on it BECAUSE Alex bought it specifically to move something…I was new! Why would a new jacket with NO DNA on it be COVERED in GSR?…..
I like that the closing argument allowed Meadors to fill in and complete the thoughts of the disparate evidence. "The clothes" – he changed his close. Touching the bodies and is still clean. Reiterating Shelly and Blance – connecting the dots.
Yikes again…have to agree with other commenters…this is lackluster. What happened? The defense had the better side to argue and this feels like a HUGE blunder. Did he change his belief in Alex’s innocence? Something feels so odd here. Was even he convinced by creighton’s close? This feels like a kid fumbling together a lousy set of lies to get out of trouble for knocking over a carton of milk..
"Butchered"? Like with a butcher gun? Why say butcher??? Stupiddd🙄
Yes. Love the rebuttal
I’m a nurse . I’ve dealt with addition of friends and my practice as one. I have seen I have no doubt at least over 100 my a day may very on and off to the Amt. I believe a person like Alec to protect himself held him hostage so to speak he would pay more . But he had tried to stop. He didn’t kill his family when he was crapping his pants and throwing up. They are so weak to do that shows love . To his family . Most addicts always hide usually only a few will know. If he is guilty it would br not because of drugs it would be that he must look the best in the family . He stole to have a lifestyle that I’m sorry involved his wife . Maybe she doesn’t don’t understand his pain but I do not believe that. I could give money so you guys can see this . They did not pay attention to their kids . Maggie kept spending know if she had looked at all or cared this is more money than he would possibly ever make fast enough for their life style . She was spending money at the beach house right when his pills were found what kind of family denial is this ? Now I come to the point that none of them have said as human nature. Paul was going to jail. He could never servive there sorry my phone misspelled. With a diver spoon in his mouth . And Maggie would never have survived the lose of income the prestige she had or stay in a marriage that we all know wasn’t great. This man because of his faults will spend the rest of his life in jail . I prefer at least in this matter which is simple to just let the courts and our maker whatever your belief have it happen I could not ax a weak human who has faults decide this. Thank you
How is Alex going to pay his lawyers???😊
Feels like she gave her thoughts but didn’t discuss the other factors which is why he isn’t pissed. 😅
What’s up with the girl in the Navy Blue always drinking sodas ?
I think there wasn’t more fire from Jim because I think Alex proved to Jim that he DID do it on the stand
I had a very hard time listening to both closings especially the prosecutor. Stopped watching 10 minutes in. The rebuttal was too ‘My Cousin Vinny’ for me.
Question: did anyone ever say why Paul’s phone wasn’t taken but Maggie’s was??
Is defense kissing up enough to the jury ??
What I think is a whole bunch of customers from answer got their arse and said what the hell am I paying for if you’re not tracking my shit
This seems like a weak argument.
The way both closing attorneys talk is mentally taxing. Half the time they don’t say the actual thing they are saying. I thought lawyers were better at this! It’s a lot of “you know” without the “you know”….Old boy’s club… Emily is basically translating for me.
Meadors
I think Jim knows his client is guilty and is trying so hard to not perjure himself.
