Murder trial of romance novelist Nancy Brophy continues | Day 6 morning session

[@CrimeAuditors]

Defence trying to discredit the video evidence just shows they have no defence. They cannot explain what her car was doing there when she’s already told the police that she was at home asleep.

[@jenny_b_]

The defense doesn’t like Nancy being described as “lucid and remembering details of her morning” by the detective because they still have to explain why she supposedly doesn’t remember driving down the street when the murder occurred. Can’t have it both ways😎

[@melodywilliams9124]

Exactly

[@lisawarr]

Even Nancy can’t make that story up!!

[@jenmdawg]

Astute comment. Couldn't put my finger on why this was off but you are spot on. Did you by any chance watch the Joanna Madonna trial? The assistant DA used this very line "Can't have it both ways" about 40 times in her closing. Frankly, the two murderesses are shockingly similar.

[@Jessica.Rachel]

Very true, but it was a strategic attempt at trying to have any testimony from the detective about her demeanor thrown out to try to float the retrograde amnesia. Didn't work obviously, but she received a robust defense.

[@hoppy6141]

Brophy is wearing a jacket much like what is in the video..what a poor choice for today’s testimony and visual.

[@StellaFl]

Nice move, Mme Defense, drawing attention to the fact that your client never mentioned the ghost gun kit she had purchased, information she witheld when asked by the police if they had any guns. Also, you can drill on about "Oscar" till the cows come home but how does any of that explain why she was in the area when she told the police she was home?

[@jodydarby]

These old ladies really want to Blame Oscar Taylor. Why they hatin’ on the black dude? These ladies want to believe Nancy so badly.

[@IWillNvr4Get]

That defense attorney is driving me nuts not asking questions , she just seems to be repeating what's already been addressed , what a waste of taxpayers money!!🙄

[@mrmtoad]

Taxpayers don’t pay the defense.

[@jjsuperstar900]

"if you cannot afford an attorney one will be provided for you" for the defense, paid by the taxpayer

[@mrmtoad]

@@jjsuperstar900 yeah, and thank God we do that.

[@Jersey.D3vil201]

Lisa Maxfield is a private attorney; not a public defender, but the judge, prosecutor and every other employee in the courtroom certainly is paid by the state. That said, NB's ever running mouth solidified her guilt. She could've saved everyone's time and money by pleading guilty from the start.

[@susanstoneking5939]

The defense is grasping

[@f.j282]

The defense lawyer Mrs Maxfield wasted the court time big time.

[@debidriscoll8108]

How is every video in town 3 hours fast?

[@hoppy6141]

Where does all this “oh shucks” attitude come from? Both sides apologizing for asking something, going to shift gears, “I think you said this”, etc. Are they all so out of practice to forget how to ask questions with a purpose? And why is defense reading the transcript of the interview without any specific questions? I feel sorry for the jury listening to this endless repeat. I sure hope it doesn’t cloud their reasoning.

[@winderofcoils]

Yeah it's like they're all afraid of offending one another.

[@conniegerock7549]

I bet her attorneys are thinking OH SHIT WE"RE SCREWED. The poor defense attorneys are looking hard for that straw.

[@catherinearmstrong388]

The defense seems to be objecting to things that didn’t happen.…

[@trishbrennan9452]

That’s because it’s all they got. They have no defense. What an unlikable, guilty defendant.

[@GH-oi2jf]

The objections are based on legal fine points. It’s normal.

[@tarafoley6030]

GH1618 She's trying her best to break established rules & getting caught, everytime!

[@Army4life82]

🤣🤣🤣 definitely

[@AnnPorterCourtTherapist]

Defense seems so fixated on their idea that a homeless did it -- Oscar did it - not the wife of the Chef -- who shot the Chef - yet she was driving around in the OCI neighborhood, her van on video, during the time of the shooting, had opportunity, and had the gun that shot the Chef - looking forward to the jury verdict it will be interesting for that to come -- defense says this was an unfair & baised nvestigation by failure tot investigate all the homeless - what's up with the crazy guys had guns - yet the wife of the Chef had the gun that shot the Chef - defense is creating the record for appeal of the jury verdict if wife is accused of murder

[@8Platinum8]

I shot the Sheriff 🎶 came to mind when reading your comment

[@gogogetem8203]

It’s impossible for her not to remain convicted for murder - even on the other side of an appeal - because there was NO reasonable explanation for WHY she was circling the OCI like she was and popped off camera during the EXACT time Dan was shot then appeared again - like the prosecutor said, WHAT was she doing? ?? AND she’s recorded totally lying about doing so, claiming she was at home writing.

[@Army4life82]

Yes! An let's just pin it on the homeless black man. You would think it any homeless person (black or white) would have murdered Dan money would have been taken & a shzz load of food but thats just my opinion personal opinion on the matter

[@Jersey.D3vil201]

@@gogogetem8203 Exactly, and she can't cook up another story on appeal like she did when it was discovered her vehicle was spotted on vehicle.

[@tarafoley6030]

Why is the volume so low???? Completely annoying. If you're filming to publish, why are you broadcasting with such bad sound?

[@M_Phil]

I believe the broadcast is controlled by the Court. There were issues on day 1, all media use the same feed. It resolved across platforms at the same time for that reason.

[@GH-oi2jf]

They aren’t making a movie. The live feed is secondary to the court’s purpose. They wouldn’t want technicians hanging around adjusting the microphones. I’m satisfied with the sound quality most of the time.

[@susanberg5817]

I agree. In spite of using earbuds, I struggle to hear, what was said. But if you add text to the video, you might find it helpfull. I did 😊.

[@KL-pd7cr]

This is the courts feed.

[@hoppy6141]

My issue is the camera - staying wide view when the witness is more interesting to view, split view of some odd people and poor focus on exhibits are poor videography.

[@stupidtookmynick]

Team Old Ladies is tanking so hard D: what are they even doing?! Do they all have dementia?

Me neither. But it was helpfull to me to add text to the video.

[@MissAmanda616]

It seems like we either get the court reporter’s keyboard being mic’ed or we get a random microphone in the courtroom & just hope it catches everyone’s voice. This is by far the worst coverage of a trial I’ve ever watched on KZbin. I understand it’s not a big network or channel doing the footage, so i guess it’s a learn day by day thing, but it’s been a week + now, and the quality is worse today than it’s been in the past. I do agree adding the subtitles helps if I’m actually watching the video, but I’m just listening to it most of the day.

[@M_Phil]

As i said before, I believe we are watching a Webex feed. There is not a media camera in the courtroom..

[@isabellind1292]

@@MissAmanda616 I can't believe these court tv people are still operating like newbies to the game. I realize Nancy's made out like a bandit by being able to hide behind her mask but they often have the cameras fixed on the wrong people when we should be seeing the defendants' reactions, especially when the victim impact statements are made. And if there was reaction I wish we could have seen, it was when Dan's son read his very powerful & emotional victim impact statement. They couldn't even fix the camera on Ashley McArthur when the guilty verdict was read because they were too busy filming the clerk reading verdict as if we give a rat's ass about what the clerk looks like when she read out the verdict.

[@debidriscoll8108]

Enhancing the video is not going to change the person driving it or the marks or defects on the video, just makes it more clear

[@annachristie377]

Yeah... Let's blame the homeless Black guy! What a disgrace. She literally wants a murderer to walk and the innocent black guy to pay for her crime. She should be disbarred.

Notice how Nancy changes positions frequently. She makes sure she is staring straight at the Detective.

No because she got rid of the slide and barrel

[@ld-zj1bn]

Defense is lost.

[@peacebc6582]

To start, I totally think she did it. But if I was defense, I would be objecting to them continuing to refer to the van as the defendent's. It continues to cement the idea of her absolutely being there, doing the thing. State hasn't proved it yet, so it shouldn't be referred to that way, could sway the jury. Defense has nothing, and the little they could object to, they are dropping the ball on...

[@sassysav6859]

I believe it’s been allowed because I think she later said something about getting coffee…or at least that is what it seems like because they repeatedly asked her mother in law if Nancy ever said she got coffee that morning when they spoke

[@KL-pd7cr]

They likely stipulated to this. It was argued about in pre trial motions
