At the end of the day the only thing the jury needs to believe is whether or not Christine would set up an encounter like this and to me it’s absolutely a no

Judge A is such a thoughtful and efficient judge. It really is quite impressive to watch her run a courtroom.

@Victoria-w3m8k 8 months ago

I agree Emily. Let the things that are sealed, remain sealed. Respect for the victims and family.

@jsthecat 8 months ago

Thanks Emily for speaking on behalf of victims in relation to the access to all materials. ❤ Nobody needs access to the graphic materials.

I would love to see the prosecutor stand up and say: times the defendant mentioned his birthday, 23. His height, 14. His cookie, 3. His party, 7. His Big Meeting, 8. His mcdonalds app discount, 4. Said he loved his wife, 1.

MOTION to add “baby I looooove youuuu” to the soundboard 😂

Replay crew. Reason #72 how Brendon doesn't understand women and how this is so suspicious: Christine wouldn't have unlocked/disengaged the door at 5:40 am whatever using the app on her phone, and then put her phone away in a drawer. She would have absolutely had her phone near her.

This case is so disturbing. He planned out everything, including sound proof windows. So sick. Rest in Peace Christine 🙏🙏

It was such a pleasure to visit Judge A’s courtroom again. Thank you Emily for making time for closings. The law nerds appreciate that your family is so understanding.

@slatenothead3633 8 months ago

Love Judge A for her compassion, integrity, and intelligence. And you Emily for the same.

I was already sped up during defense closing, but every time EDB sped up, only Emily spoke faster.

@mystt7228 8 months ago

Am I the only one that was surprised we didn't hear anything about the second victims life, personality, character or history? I feel like they just mentioned him as an afterthought and as an innocent victim. I wish we knew something about him.

Love the Freudian slip (Defense Attorney) "...when I testified..." I choked on my coke 🤭

@ednacrabapple5392 8 months ago

You make the awful defense case so much easier to take. Those poor jurors, having to pay attention to all that drivel.

@MsMedley56 8 months ago

Never have I laughed so much during such a sad trial. Emily adds joy!

@heidiheidi 8 months ago (edited)

Why oh why can’t these people get a divorce! No one is getting a way with anything in this day and time…. You can’t even skip school without getting caught anymore!!

@alissarose7881 8 months ago

Also, no one from work called and said “where the hell are you?”

@Master_Mind13 8 months ago

Justice for the alternates! Speaking as a recent alternate 😭

@serenetiv 7 months ago

and I still get the feeling defense counsel has no idea what catfishing is.

@ajrupert5639 8 months ago

As a scientist/engineer who has to choose my words very carefully when talking about what is known and unknown, and who avoids speaking in absolutes in most scenarios, the amount of time the defense in this case spends attacking proper scientific phrasing makes my eye twitch every time
