[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why don't they have a witness on this issue of the Feti account not being consistent with how she writes.  There are experts on this.  Basic thing to do.  Maybe it is coming.[/quote]

It wouldn't be that difficult to get a linguistics professor or something to explain this.[/quote]
The prosecution clearly made a strategic decision to keep their case as simple as possible. Bringing in a linguistics professor, or witnesses to say Christine would never do this just opens the door for the defense to argue. Julianna tells the story, and the most important digital forensics completely support it. So do the crime scene forensics. The defense has failed to make any significant inroads against the prosecution’s version. In the end, Christine, Joe, Julianna, and BB were in the house. Christine and Joe are dead. There is no forensic story that can support Joe stabbing Christine. Who is left? Ultimately the prosecution has done a good job giving the jury what they need to convict. [/quote]

I am an attorney. I hear you but now she should do on rebuttal since they have raised the issue. Dangerous to leave it alone. Could take just one juror to wonder. [/quote]

Im a lawyer and I absolutely disagree with you.  Putting on an expert on linguistics is a major distraction — I don’t know that you could do that effectively on rebuttal at all.  You really don’t want the jury thinking this is an important point.  It currently smacks of desperation but if you start having some expert testify fo hours on it, they will start to think there’s something there.  I read the chats and they don’t scream Portuguese speaker to me so I suspect she had help from B or AO to write them.  But it doesn’t matter.  This case is so, so persuasive without that.[/quote]
