I mean, two people murdered, and y’all are worried about what she’s wearing? Maybe a child spot up on her, coffee got spilled – any number of things why she’s not dressed as nicely as she has been on all the other days.


If she seemed otherwise competent maybe but given this has the be the biggest trial of her career you’d expect her to have it together. Outfits laid out for the whole week. While it might be nice to live in a world where this stuff doesn’t matter, it does. She’s trying to convict this man. She needs to look like she means business. Her questioning of the blood spatter witness was so meandering and disorganized, I’m concerned that jurors didn’t take from it what she was trying to communicate. I’m not even sure what she was trying to get her to say. The whole thing is so muddled. Wondering if the CW doesn’t have confidence in their case but felt like the public wanted one so they put this young prosecutor out there to take the hit.

Yeah the prosecutor was looking a little homeless for a trial that she knew was going to be televised.

I agree, esp the former Au Pair to see if CB confided in her or if BB ever acted weird around her. This whole thing is weird


It probably just means Christine didn’t tell her anything

Could the former au pair be one of them?


They said one would take more than an hour and one would take 15 minutes. We still haven’t heard from whoever performed the autopsies right? It seems like we have to hear from them, even though the obvious COD is the stabbing and shooting. Maybe I somehow missed that but I don’t think so. I assumed we would also hear from another detective who does like forensic reconstruction work who would testify more with diagrams about angles and whatever. Some of the testimony on Thursday like the firearms expert got into that a little, she said the evidence showed Joe was shot from more than 12 inches away or something. But not like diagrams and such.

I was surprised it was only 2 more witnesses. That makes me think the commonwealth has something they feel is “key” and don’t want to fatigue jurors with too much more info. Which Juliana’s testimony is obviously compelling but they said there would be key forensics that supported it. I believe that but I feel like we haven’t quite gotten there.

They drew attention to the blood splatter pattern on Brendan’s pants a couple times and made sure to establish it was blood and it was Christine’s. This is just my own interpretation but I would assume they must have someone coming who will show that would have happened from stabbing someone, not from just rendering aid to a stabbed person (one of the FCPD guys made sure to point out “this area looked different from the other areas where blood came into contact with the pants and needed further investigation”).

They also kinda pointed out it was weird Juliana had blood on her socks, and I agree it is but I’m not sure it really ended up mattering for anything since she confessed to her part. She probably took her shoes off at some point and then put them back on? Odd, but doesn’t really answer any pressing questions.

The backpack I’m not sure, it could be relevant or not, I assume that it could help establish where Joe was shot and that he could have been moved, however, I assume that Brendan’s defense could just say yeah, he moved him to render aid to Christine. They need to go beyond that and show that and show that Brendan stabbed Christine and then staged the scene, and I’m not sure the backpack will be pivotal or not.



Juliana testified that the blood on her socks was because she took her shoes off when she went to open the safe. (To stage that she didn't already have the gun). Sounds like she was panicking and stepped into the blood with her shoes, and didn't want to track bloody footprints into the bathroom.

I miss my friend Joe. There's a picture of us together LARPing somewhere on this thread. He was weird, and kinky as anything, but he has the biggest heart.

What are you referring to re tough mudder?


It’s a competition CB was part of. There are pictures on her Instagram of her and Brendan attending. Once CW was done w questions to CB’s father, Brendan pointed something out to his attorney and his attorney asked her father about it.


The bottom line is, the father was testifying about her blood disorder, and the defense kept objecting that it was hearsay. Meanwhile, the father said they had to take precautions during the birth of the child due to the blood disorder. Brendan is trying to throw his dead wife that he murdered under the bus by showing she didn’t really take precautions as an adult because she competed in a tough mudder. What a complete and utter psycho aszzhole.

The blood splatter expert testified that some of the blood drops on the shoes of Brendan, came directly from Christine.

The dad said when she was little, she had to wear a lot of padding and helmets for sports, biking, rollerblading, due to her excessive bruising. He asked if she played sports as an adult did she wear such protective gear, and dad didn't know, because she moved away after college. Then he asked an intended gotcha question asking didn't Christine participate in "tough mudder" obstacle courses involving running and jumping other stuff, and the dad said he had no idea, and they moved on.

So why did they not have one of her doctors testify to the blood clotting disorder, in light of all the objections? Don't you need to thread that needle for the jury? That the disorder means she can bleed out, and that the doctor would not recommend a person with that disorder ever engage in elective knife play because they could die? That was not at all clear from the dad's testimony. In fact, it kind of sounded like there was no preventive medication when Christine was young, but seemed to leave open the possibility there was one when she was an adult. So wouldn't you need her doctor to testify, whether or not she is on that medication, and even if she was, "knife play" would still not be recommended as it would carry risk of death?
