[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Yes we will have to disagree. The defense’s entire theory of the case can be dismissed with 15 minutes from an expert.  Jury is probably even wondering if they will see one.  You are over thinking.  This is easy stuff. [/quote]

NP but I disagree. No one can say definitively who wrote it, without any trace of doubt. Juliana says she did. An expert can testify that the writing doesn’t seem like Christine’s typical writing and then a different expert can come say that many people alter their writing style when engaging in online sex activity. And then all you’ve done is make it look like this is actually a point of contention. When it’s really not- you have a witness admitting to writing it as part of the crime set up. The defense is saying the witness is lying but they have no evidence of that and the prosecution drawing more and more attention to the question of who wrote it can only hurt their case. They should keep the focus on the mountain of physical evidence, circumstantial evidence, and eyewitness testimony that points towards his guilt. [/quote]

The defense witness is showing, I believe- please correct me if I’m wrong, that the account was accessed from cbs phone or iPad or laptop while cell phone data showed bb and the nanny were both out of the house in different places. It’s hard to follow because they are so slow in explaining this[/quote]

Yes, I think that’s what they are attempting to show, but the prosecution can point out that someone’s phone being in a place does not mean that the phone owner is also there.
