christine’s murder is horrific, i can’t imagine what her last moments were like between an assault & murder. but my heart also breaks for joe ryan. he has been smeared, humiliated, and killed for what he thought was a consensual encounter—and now not only are his sexual preferences being used to humiliate and falsely accuse him of murder when he can’t defend himself, but it’s all he’ll ever be known for.

OMG... this guy!!!! The audacity!!!! I have worked with Christine.. she was an awesome and caring nurse. Always had common sense.. All of the crap he's saying about her is BS!!!! This makes me so mad!!!!!

@ladyace5446 8 months ago

I LOVE that not only did he have NO FRIENDS or family testify on his behalf BUT his IRS boss called the state prosecutor to make it a point to testify LIES, there was NO MEETING scheduled that friday morning with Brandon on 2.24.23

@88marebear 8 months ago

I’d just like to say as an RN, who has worked with SANE nurses and cared for DV victims - the idea that she would do that line of work because she got off on that sort of thing is DEPLORABLE. The level of evil to accuse your wife of something like that I can’t even fathom.

1:19:50 “On February 24th was the only time I had communication with him in that room”
Sir, that statement has more qualifications than a lifetime warranty

@sarahellen813 8 months ago

Imagine your boss hating you so much that they want to testify against you 🤦‍♀️

Having a female prosecutor cross examine him is golden he's so mad shes in control

Do we have proof Christine had affairs at all?

@rileyallen489 8 months ago

It's so frustrating that the defense to this is, "Well she was a freak so clearly she'd have asked a stranger to pretend assault her." I don't care if she re-reads Haunting Adeline every month. There's a huge difference between engaging in something with someone you know and asking a stranger to break into your house with a knife when your child might still be home.

Omg “What in the Wendi Adelson is happening”😂😂🤣🤣

I hope Christine's father was not there to watch her partner of 19 years talk so disrespectfully about his daughter... and with no remorse or emotion. I pray Valerie never watches this trial/testimony. How despicable.

@anchovyfish9884 8 months ago (edited)

He said there was an intruder in the house. But he let his kid and mistress into the basement of the house. But he was also trying to get their lunches. And all the stumbling over his story. CMON if this dude walks, I'll flip tables.

5:43:49 him saying she brought SANE reports home to enjoy… I’ve never wanted to crawl through my television and punch someone in the face so bad.

@llchapman1234 8 months ago

The defense's strategy seemed to be "Let's just go on and on and on with the b.s. until the entire court expires of natural causes."

@katyc201 8 months ago

Best line from this: "sir wouldn't you agree that my client is tall?" 😂😂

@saramichaels8191 8 months ago

Him talking about her job as a SANE nurse and a supposed fetish is absolutely disgusting. What a disgrace!

@NatChrisBliss 8 months ago

I was in the courtroom last Thursday and today and plan on being there for closing arguments. Sent Emily an email with what I've picked up about reactions.

Praying for justice for Christine and Joseph 🙏🏼

I love how the attorney is like "her home" because he keeps calling it his home

@Cocomonkey2002 8 months ago (edited)

Unless I missed it somewhere, not once does he say “I can’t remember” about anything. There’s no way that you went through a traumatic event like that, shot a weapon, watched your spouse be harmed in that manner and remember all these details. It stinks to high heaven
