Description

The parties have rested. The charging conference is complete. It's time for Closing Arguments. The lawyers have asked for 2 hours each for closing. We can expect jury instructions, then the prosecution's closing, then the defense, then the prosecution's rebuttal.

What is the "It's a TOURISM Visa" argument? It's not like there is a "Fleeing the Country to Avoid Prosecution Visa."

If they can get an indictment and successful conviction against Wendi, this will have to be one of the most successful prosecutions for a murder for hire in legal history. I hope they get *everyone* involved.

Does this Defense Attrny really think that the reason Donna is there is because she's called Danny names??? Worse, that she thinks the jury will buy that?!?

Justice for Rob. I live 2000 miles away from my family and visited them only once in 3 years and they never had their lawyer yell about me in court.

I'm confused...does she think that just because she stands there and angrily claims that there's no evidence of anything that the evidence is just going to magically disappear before everyone's eyes?! Wouldn't it be better to say the evidence doesn't show xyz than to keep insisting "there's no evidence!" over and over again?

The bewildering irony of 'loving' family so much that you NEED them to live near you yet causing terrible grief and ensuring you'll not be able to spend time together ever again!

Georgia and Sarah didn't just do their jobs exceptionally well, the FOUGHT for justice with their hearts and souls! All victims should have prosecutors like these women on their side.

Oh my I'm surprised the defence didn't throw her back out with all that reaching ! Thank you EDB for covering this

The defense's closing is wild. "If Wendy had told Donna she wanted to stay, my client wouldn't have had to have Dan murdered." WOW. 😮
