King that is not true he deceived everyone!!!! If you are that smart you can do anything to make people believe you especially if you have done these awful things..

King has a whining tone.......

by Suzanne 7/14/2015 5:03:19 PM
@PA Watcher: Is it common for opposing teams to give their arguments to each other prior to making them? It seems a little unfair to me - that they are dictating what each other can say to bolster their own arguments.

by DocJ 7/14/2015 5:03:20 PM
@NT8, King needs to give it a good stir so nothing sticks.

(tension relief from my cat),,, meow, da fur's gonna fly between PT & DT soon

I think some Cheese is in order to go with this whine........

by NT8 7/14/2015 5:04:22 PM
docJ-do ya know if jward had her baby? if so boy or girl

They should have had a look at each others closing arguments before today! Of course both sides would have objections. How can they expect to do both closing today now?

by Della (Me) 7/14/2015 5:04:55 PM
King says his next objection is to slides that refer to "impression management" and King says that is commentary akin to the earlier "deceit" reference

by Phil Tenser 7/14/2015 5:05:20 PM
@Kels, I knew this was gonna be the lunch break moment......

by NT8 7/14/2015 5:05:22 PM
Next, King references 3 pages containing things like "look how smart I am" but King says the defendant never said those things

by Phil Tenser 7/14/2015 5:06:00 PM
Well King the DA did NOT have to pay anyone for their testimony... GUR was the worst witness ever..You should ask for a refund

by Sandy Smith 7/14/2015 5:06:05 PM
@Suzanne I was thinking the same thing......have heard it before...put on your big boy pants and do what you need to do.

by A.L. 7/14/2015 5:06:06 PM
I'm hoping closing arguments, but deliberation may be delayed.

by Kels 7/14/2015 5:06:07 PM
KIng is stalling because he hasnt fiished writing up his closing yet.....LOL

by Tired 7/14/2015 5:06:08 PM
Throughout the powerpoint, King quotes page numbers, there are statements that defendant has made but King says they don't relate to issue of sanity

by Phil Tenser 7/14/2015 5:06:55 PM
@naturegirl None of us know for sure what is up with Jward. We are simply "speculating", which Judge S would condemn. LOL

by DocJ 7/14/2015 5:07:01 PM
JH swivels no longer in his chair. I suspect he is curious what life in prison with death hanging over his head...is like. As well as asking himself, how can he convince everyone that he really is insane.

by kdsmith 7/14/2015 5:07:01 PM
Limburger cheese is the right decision as this really stinks.....

by NT8 7/14/2015 5:07:02 PM
I'm thinking a rain delay is going to happen in regards to having closing arguments today

by Just Thinkin 7/14/2015 5:07:03 PM
Bullhockey King, Closing arguments cannot be used by the jury as testimony and you know that!

by Abrandt 7/14/2015 5:07:09 PM
King.... This is time consuming and you know it

by Tjq 7/14/2015 5:07:26 PM
Mr. King, please sit down and let this phase begin. I don't think he is prepared!

by Carolyn 7/14/2015 5:07:27 PM
King also objects to "kill suit" phrase that Brauchler has used several times

by Phil Tenser 7/14/2015 5:07:28 PM
wow this is interesting

by Tara 7/14/2015 5:07:32 PM
King says quote from Dr. Woodcock included in DA's slides is "prosecutor seek justice for those who are wronged" and King says that was solicited over his objections

by Phil Tenser 7/14/2015 5:08:10 PM
"big boy pants and do what you need to do" ? I believe thats exactly what he's doing, which is representing his client...

by cp 7/14/2015 5:08:16 PM
I call Shenaniganns on Mr. King!

by DocJ 7/14/2015 5:08:17 PM
Anyone else have a choppy feed?

by RRose 7/14/2015 5:08:18 PM
So King is whining about getting this report this morning but he sure had time to make arguments so he must of read it...OVERRULED!!!!!!

by Sandy Smith 7/14/2015 5:08:19 PM
thanks DocJ

by naturegurl 7/14/2015 5:08:20 PM
More Delay, and Obfuscation tactics......

by NT8 7/14/2015 5:08:48 PM
King objects that makes JH look guilty!!

by Suzanne 7/14/2015 5:08:50 PM
On page 119 reference to "collateral damage" that King says is misused. Appears in juxtaposition to victims names

by Phil Tenser 7/14/2015 5:09:17 PM
Mr. King: You honor, I don't like what DB is to say, it makes my client look "Guilty"!

by kdsmith 7/14/2015 5:09:35 PM
I HATE KINGS stupid laugh.. He is NOT cute or funny!!

by Sandy Smith 7/14/2015 5:09:36 PM
"kill suit" That's what the police called it.

by FMM 7/14/2015 5:10:22 PM
brauchler mentioned the killsuit in opening.

King: "I apologize for the interruptions in the proceedings judge, but I'm afraid i may have to make contemporaneous objections to all of these issues as they come up if they're not dealt with ahead of time"

DA Brauchler: "there is nothing improper about argument based slides in closing"

by Phil Tenser 7/14/2015 5:10:44 PM
@DocJ...not common in my estimation but this will cut down on objections during the closing...some of King's points are well taken...ie GB interjecting his opinion as to credibility...the rest...whine whine whine :)

by PA Watcher 7/14/2015 5:10:52 PM
He has said finally before the last finally so when is it final

by Tjq 7/14/2015 5:10:53 PM
Prettttttyyyyyy sure Holmes brought up collateral damage.

by Kels 7/14/2015 5:11:26 PM
Re: Hands in pockets: I have seen many other trials where defendants are shackled at ankles surreptitiously, but drink water, take notes to be assisting in his or her own defense, scratch head or cover a cough, etc. The Jodi Arias trial is a perfect example.This applies to whether defendant is shackled or not. Also, 99% of defendants cannot be shackled at the hands, because jury would see and it would be prejudicial. Regardless, it was just a thought and I wondered about other's interpretations of his body language. So...thanks for the opinions! I was curious, especially to those who are in the military, as JH made reference to killing members of military in his interview with Dr. Reid, per his "point value" of casualties, collateral damage, etc.-if I remember correctly. That's why I asked other's opinions/thoughts...

Comment on JWard... "only if you know"! LOL
