Why does someone keep writing “chargers”? Is that a typo or is that a thing in Virginia?

Any bets on who the witnesses are tomorrow?

Is it possible that the clotting disorder isn't even very serious, so they can't really get into it much more than that? Do we even know what disorder it is?


I do not personally know what it is, but I do believe we had people post about it on this thread fairly early on, before it was released in any media or public hearings. I’m assuming those people knew her. She also had some posts about it on her public Instagram, but she just showed some injuries from her activities and called it a “bleeding disorder.” One of those was definitely from one of the “mud runs” the defense tried to bring up. So I guess she was able to participate wising common sense, but probably wouldn’t have told someone it’s fine to cut her with a knife.

I would wait until the closing arguments . Remember- there can’t be a “mystery fourth party” who came in and did this. It is basically liked a locked room murder mystery- it had to be one of the people present. Juliana, Joe, or Brendan.i doubt anyone will believe it was Juliana acting alone since Brendan would have told the police immediately and the 911 calls make no sense with the Juliana theory. The next theory would be Joe, but the forensics make no sense with it being Joe, plus the 911 calls make no sense then either. Also, there is no motivation for Juliana to lie and say it was Brendan if it was actually Joe. The third theory is Brendan, and that’s where the forensics point, and that’s what Juliana testifies. Yes of course she could be lying and it could have been her- but if so, Brendan would be shouting from the rooftops that it was Juliana from the very start. And he has never said that. Basically the only theory that makes any sense is that it was Brendan. I can’t imagine a scenario where anyone would honestly believe different


+1. The state has to prove their case beyond a reasonable, not all, doubt.

No way. Quick guilty. Even having a trial is as delulu of him as thinking he would get away with the murders.

The defense probably goes something like, "And then he lost control. You know how those sex fiends are."


So will defense call someone to testify to Joe's temperament, etc? Don't they need to paint him as a killer?


Joe is not on trial


The defense depends on Joe killing Christine. The messages show a consensual meet up. Why would he go nuts in the first 10 minutes when he's had no issues with many other meet ups?


They can’t find anyone to paint joe as a killer since he wasn’t one . And if they did find someone willing to paint him that way, the prosecution could then call 836 rebuttal witnesses to testify the exact opposite. So that’s why.


They just need to create "doubt."

Her phone being in a kitchen drawer needs to be a key point emphasized in closing arguments.

What did Brendan do before he worked for the IRS? Anyone know?

Has there ever been a more boring trial?

Well no, they need to create REASONABLE doubt. And if it was Joe- why doesn't the blood splatter evidence support Joe being the killer? Why would the 911 calls happen the way they did? Why would Juliana suddenly be like "actually, it wasn't Joe, it was me and Brendan"? Like what possible motivation would she have to say she helped kill Christine, if she didn't? And how could someone who is demonstrably not very smart come up with such an elaborate lie, that matches ALL of the forensics and ALL of the driving patterns of the cars that day and ALL of the text evidence between them and Joe? Is their theory that she is actually completely innocent, but also a criminal mastermind who can make that entire scenario up out of thin air and have it MATCH everything the police found? And who wants very badly to throw her partner under the bus? That is not what I would call reasonable doubt.

I read the first one and what stands out is the lack of any mention of Christine. I'd think an innocent person would be something like "I can't believe this tragedy has happened to your family and I wish I could be there to continue to be with Brendan and to support (child) as she grieves". Or SOMETHING. But this reads like Christine never existed and she's calling brendan's mom her MIL. So, so weird.

Yeah - I don’t know a living soul who turns off their phone and places it in a drawer in another room especially a parent.

Her letters are written like she knew they'd be exhibits someday. I don't know, maybe she's smarter than we give her credit for.

Because it is not the opening or closing arguments. They are not supposed to be arguing anything, just presenting facts.



Fair, but what did sharing these recordings accomplish? Nothing seemed to be in Brendan’s favor nor Christine’s.
