      I thought it could have been improved. Reading the texts while continually saying full names along with "this defendant" about 900 times was not what I would call concise. It seemed average to me, but at least it wasn't a Hollywood production like some of them are.
      The blatant grammatical errors didn't help either. I know, I'm a critic, but those details stand out to me.

    Let me get this straight. Taylor, the victim, asked her friend, Ashley, the suspect, to hide money for her. Taylor was divorcing her husband. Ok. Ashley said, she'd hide the money, but instead, spent it on the guy she was seeing. So instead of giving Taylor her money back, Ashley killed her, and is now on trial for her friend's murder. Wow.

      They are actually told by their lawyers to be taking notes. helps keep their mind off of their personal emotional reaction to the ongoing testimony and prevents involuntary reactions that the jury may pick up on.
      Also it supposedly makes them look more professional and like they are actually active in the trial which an innocent person would obviously do to keep themselves out of prison.

    I watched a few videos of Ashley McArthur and there was no sign of remorse, even in court, there was no sign of discomfort, you could see her demeanour "just as calm and as normal" as could be. There was some make-up she put on and other than that, as charming and as "graceful" as what the editor said. We are seeing a "pyschopath" and she is one of them.

A defendant typically enters a plea of "not guilty" 30 days after their arrest and first court appearance at the defendants Arraignment! At that court hearing is when the defendant usually puts in a plea of guilty of or not guilty, or no contest! Unless the defendants attorney is not there for the arraignment it could be continued! This normally happens about a year before your trial! And before depositions, not all states do depositions, however the ones that do! She entered a plea of "not guilty!" Long before this day!
