The attorney for accused mom killer Richard Merritt presented their opening statement Thursday. The defense told the jury there is no forensic evidence linking Richard to the murder of his mother, 77-year-old Shirley Merritt. The state alleges Richard brutally attacked and killed his mom before fleeing to Tennessee in February 2019.

No real need for forensic evidence when the accused gives his unbelievable account of events then stole her vehicle to go on the run thus leaving her dead without informing anyone
The sound on this is terrible
No forensic evidence means there was no investigation. This is a rush to judgment.
This Terrible lawyer is horrible on many levels, she helping the monster . The way to talk and actions make me sick . So anoying. She thinks that she is the smates .
The two-step shuffle she's doing the whole time is distracting. Man, both the prosecutor and defense are terrible in this case.
If you turn off the audio, and play at 5 times speed, she’s actually doing a pretty good Hokey Pokey
This kind of reminds me of how Alec Murdaugh tried to blame his family’s deaths on vigilantes. They keep saying the victims of this guy were mad some I’m drawing parallels lol.
Guilty 💯
i hope they fix the audio here, this case looks super interesting and i can’t hear a thing
So basically he's a real life Saul Goodman?
terrible audio!
Yes shw was wrong but a mother will protect her kids. I think probation is more appropriate or as in the UK a suspended sentance.its unlikely she will do it again. Also what about her kids? Her income is appalling she deserves help not prison.
I want to see this trial!!!
So not only did he victimize these people already, his defense is going to revictimize them again by implying one of them also mvrdered his mother. What a scumbag.
That defense attorney is the worst presenter. That whole walking back and forth is going to cost her the case.
