The State's Closing in the Daybell case was long, but it was detailed. It addressed the conspiracy, the intent, the motives, and the way the physical evidence did not add up. It also showed that Lori conspired with Alex and Chad using the "we got rid of him" text quite effectively. It was measured, dispassionate, nothing to raise an issue of inflammatory rhetoric. The only thing I noticed was it appeared she was looking hard at Daybell at different times, but I think I just didn't realize where she had positioned her computer for her slide show. All in all, it's strong B+ closing. I took points off for length, and failure to wrap up after the judge asked. Can't wait for Lori's rebuttal - if any.
