The bottom line is, there really is no evidence. It's all circumstantial.

Yes, it's damming that he is put at the crime scene just a couple minutes before the supposed TOD, by his own admission on the stand and proven to have lied about a ton of stuff including originally saying he wasn't at the crime scene.

OTOH, he would have had a very tight window to go home shower off any blood and GSR, get rid of the old clothes and murder weapon, and leave no evidence behind.

There is a pretty decent chance this will be a hung jury, or at the least jury will be out for days until they beat the 1 or 2 jurors that don't want to convict into submission.

He is done on the stand, about 4 to 6 witnesses left this coming week.

Is the Netflix series worth a watch if you've seen the HBO show?

murdering your family is not gonna allow you to do more opiods usually. and certainly not in this situation. if anything, this is an argument against the murder. any rational junkie will realize that pulling the trigger will result in immense withdrawal.

Today judge will allow jury to visit the crime scene at some point.

Defense expert witness says for TOD determination rectal thermometer is the way to go and Under the arm is fairly useless. SLED did under the arm so TOD could be off.

Another Defense expert presented a 2-shooter scenario.

I'd be shocked if this doesn't turn out to be a hung jury.

I'm a civil lawyer, not a criminal lawyer, but my understanding is it's asked for in almost every case. I imaging part of it has to do with appeals, and the need to preserve arguments.

I would imagine he knew he was cooked when the jury came back in 3 hours lol. I'm pretty surprised they came back that fast given the gravity of the case. I wanted to watch it live but it happened too fast.

Also surprised so quick, also can't believe sentencing is tomorrow morning, usually that is months out.

Min. he gets is 30 years, max is Life without parole. So either way it will be the rest of his life, especially when he is looking at decades for his financial crimes also.

Two 30-year sentences Consecutive.

No more county jail, does he right now to his new home in state prison? Which prison? I am sure he will get along well there.

Edit: They just said, he will soon be in Columbia State prison.

County jail will get him transported ASAP. Not only do they not want to deal with the media, they really do not want such a high profile inmate attempting/committing suicide in their facility.

Just saw a juror on the news said there was 2 jurors that said not guilty and 1 said undecided, and it only took 45 minutes to get everyone on guilty. Wow, they must be some weak-willed people to get their mind changed that fast.

The judge really went into a speech before sentencing, was good stuff, told Alex that Maggie and Paul will visit him at night when he is trying to get to sleep.

Why would you call them "weak-willed"? Maybe they just weren't sure of a few things and it didn't that long to review. Do you think jury deliberations are some sort of battle?

Mark Geragos said on TV last week that most juries have 2-3 people who drive the deliberations and can influence others. I was on a jury in 1996 for two weeks in a civil case and me and 2 other guys drove the deliberations and convinced a few woman to go with us even though they didn't really want too. So I can see why that happened.
