Overstreet is a rockstar. His cross examination of Nancy Brophy will be something watched for years to come. His understated and relatable approach was fascinating to watch. No arrogance. Just passion in pursuit of justice for Dan. He was the perfect opponent for NB. I'm embarrassed to say how many times I've watched that cross.

There were too many unexplainable circumstances. The defense was essentially forced to put her on the stand. But NB was convinced she’d be able to weave her story & sway the jury. That’s always the fatal flaw of narcissists-they overestimate their own abilities & underestimate everyone else around them.

Lol think about it . (Her writing that 100 times) Not sure if anyone reading this remembers when NB atty Ms. Maxfield asked NB what she has bought to further her writing , all she mentioned were handcuffs and night vision goggles , why didn’t she say a ghost gun or the slide and barrel ? At this point everyone knows she bought it . That kinda threw me off. If she truly bought it for writing it would be fine to mention it , actually not a bad idea to.

Nancy's vision of riverside condo was about 5 times more expensive than the Beaverton home mortgage, too. She would have had to buy it, then there would have been HOA fees, escalating 'til death. A good size condo by the river maybe costs $1M these days? Even now, the HOA fees might be something like $1k per month. That's what they are around here: more than the mortgage.

The Prosecution did a great job and I feel the defense tried their best. Nancy's big personality got into her own way. Her chatter is very annoying and she helped the Prosecution. Excellent closing by Overstreet. But the defense was the saddest closing I have ever listened too. Very boring, low energy and had trouble trying 😴 too defend a lost cause. So sad Dan and family suffer the loss and when you are the smartest person in the room and you are so proud of the fact you gotta pay. I definitely think divorce is something you can recover from murder is forever and deserves a lifetime sentence, no parole, no book, no profit from Dan's death.

[@sleuththewild]

You can recover from divorce, but Nancy couldn’t. The couple had almost no tangible assets besides the house. If she got 1/2 the proceeds, it would have been about $125k. Her SS would have been tiny, because she didn’t work and make money. She even said Dan’s was much larger. So, there wouldn’t be enough to live on….She’d have had to go and work at Walmart like regular people.

[@Rosie-oc1wo]

Speaking of the injured Brophy family, Nancy tried to provide testimony to inform the jury how wonderful she thought her mother-in-law was so the jury would believe the family was on her side, but the family all testified for the prosecution and Dan's son has a wrongful death civil suit pending against his former step-mother. Horrific how she took away their son, father, grandfather. Nancy had no parents or children....she not only murdered her husband in cold blood, but she also lost her step-son and step-grandchildren. She didn't paint the toy chest. Dan did. She even lied about that so the jury would think she did something for Dan's grandchild. Evil.

[@alemontwisted9508]

That, and making it seem like you cannot arrive at a verdict of 'beyond a reasonable doubt' with only circumstantial evidence.

[@toasted_.coconut]

Defense is struggling to make Nancy's financial decisions make sense. As if she had it all under control. This is the lady paying 1k in life insurance policy's instead of investing in Dan's 401k. She was betting on his early death to finance her retirement in Costa Rica.

It is because the categories of murder in Oregon are different from what most states use. Premeditation is not what makes a murder first degree in Oregon. They are online and easily looked up.

Arguing against the motion in limine, defense counsel mentions Mrs. Brophy's "unconstitutional rights." Defendant alluded to several of those. Throughout her testimony, she touched upon all sorts of excuses and random events that - to her - supported her rights to do what she did. Her demeanor suggested she believed her rights included all sorts of despicable acts. Anyone confused about the Freudian slip, "unconstitutional rights"? That's my explanation.

[@kaylav.1491]

The People (prosecutor) did an amazing job around 40:00 explaining Mrs. Brophy's "memory" of the day of the shooting: "It was an alibi." It was her cover story. Ewww, she's such a liar. 🙀 Fortunately, not a very good one.

This prosecutor at least kept your attention , the defense whispered, low key, monotones I thought the atty was going to cry . Worse closing I have ever listened to.The poor jury . I felt their pain;they had to sit and listen to the defense closing for hours . I would have fallen asleep . Definitely grounds for a retrial ineffective counsel. Those women lawyers were just awful . Where the heck did Nancy find them ? Is that the best Oregon had to offer? Geesopeeso .

Okay so hang on a minute. I knew about the one sliding Barrel purchase that was too small to fit the Glock she had purchased and the prosecutor brought that up and said when she realized it wasn't going to fit she went back on eBay. Were there two sliding Barrel purchases made cuz I don't recall hearing that before

[@uttersolitude]

you're thinking of the gun kit. She bought the gun kit assuming the slide and barrel would fit her existing gun. When it didn't, she bought the right part on eBay.

[@shailaja6788]

Was not there any evidence of what she did with the slide and barrel that she used, like if she drove around to dump that somewhere?

I wondered too! She may have dumped it somewhere for sure! I'm sure she doesn't remember it too 😅

[@1ProShooter]

the prosecution said within the first couple minutes ,that the same and model, and caliper gun that Nancy owned killed Dan. That is not correct. It was the same caliber, however there is no way to know the make and model. Not without the actual weapon being recovered and tested for barrel striations. The defense should have objected tp facts not in evidence .

[@luckewoman0348]

They actually are right on make....they discussed how a glock leaves a specific imprint on the primer when fired and that shape is able to be identified as a glock. I gurss i should say firing pin impression.There were a few that were similar but not exact and that is how they knew it was a glock.

[@letusgather...7820]

I have to admit that through this entire trial I've been on the fence...and probably leaning over about to fall on NB's side. I relate a lot to her....same age, I wrote a romance book and bought a sword for research, I got deeply involved in my story and characters. I kept a wide open mind. I had great reasonable doubt. But after hearing the pros closing...I'm finally convinced that she had to have done it. I think the motive is weak...but some ppl are just plain crazy. I got to thinking that it's no wonder Ms. Jacobs and she hit it off so well...birds of feather.

One of the most incriminating things is that Nancy leaves the area and goes directly home, IMMEDIATELY after the time of Dan's murder. If her dopey explanation of "driving around writing" had any validity, why wouldn't we see her van, ambling around in the area, for some time AFTER the murder, huh? Why not? How come? Dunno why, but both sides skip over this.

The guy hiding by wall from cops that was across st. by school had a 911 phone call to cops stating that he was at park earlly mourning being aggressive with a gun which he would not need reason to kill Dan ,he also has a big criminal past ,but yet the 4 cops drove right by him while he was hiding at wall when he was in clear view of sight and they never even question him .

[@Geck_Gxng]

Wrong video

[@awright119021]

Don't ya think he would've stolen the money in Dan's pockets? His wallet? A bunch of alcohol or something? What other reason would there be for a random person to kill him other than robbery? He wasn't robbed and it was a precision, planned killing. The only person with a motive was Nancy and she lied about being there. She bought a ghost gun, real gun and an extra barrel that magically disappeared. You don't need to question every homeless person in the area to see she did it. That's just another red herring that leads nowhere.

I like the prosecution case, generally, but (perhaps alone) think the closing argument was not well organized. I expected he would go straight through all the most important evidence, showing how a reasonable interpretation incriminated her. Instead, he got into the weeds with the psychologists fairly early, which I thought a distraction.
