Speedy Trial to Hide Motive / Spousal Privilege
Are you concerned that Dick’s reason for rushing the murder trial is so that the State doesn’t have time to fully uncover the extent of Alex’s (“alleged”) involvement in other potential crimes - i.e., drug activity, Stephen Smith’s death, Gloria Satterfield’s death, etc. - and the extent to which Maggie and/or Paul knew about it? No defense attorney rushes to trial so what’s his reason? In a circumstantial evidence murder case against a “clean-cut” attorney accused of murdering his son, motive is going to play a big role. Is anyone concerned that if the State had waited to try Alex until we had a clear picture of everything going on, we’d see a much stronger motive? Also, has anyone considered spousal privilege as a potential motive for Maggie’s murder if she was considering divorce?
911 call
Observation for this group….when Alex called 911 regarding the murders he told the first dispatcher (male) that his wife and son was shot. That dispatcher transferred him to a second dispatcher (female) and he. Said he was just “getting up to it and it’s bad” First question. How did he know they were shot iff he wasn’t right up to them during the first dispatcher call. It was dark out??
