So...

Brian Walshe was just convicted of 1st degree murder. I don't think the Commonwealth proved 1st degree. He'll have some grounds to appeal, methinks.

I do think he killed her, though.

Verdict time! #walshetrial

I watched closing arguments this morning. Melanie Little keeps saying that Tipton is a great defense attorney. I am not impressed with him. I think his closing was shit. He basically testified on Walshe's behalf the whole time and admitted he killed her.

Not good...

In a twist, the defense in the Brian Walshe trial chooses not to call any witnesses, resting their case a day after the prosecution wrapped up its testimony.

Pay attention to the question, Trooper Keefe - and keep the heavy sighs to yourself.

He's not looking too steady.

But I will say, Tipton is a little hard to follow. His questions are a little muddled.

Can't wait to see how he fucked it all up.

Oh, God! Here comes Trooper Connor Keefe.

We know this guy!

Do we really need to know these details about the Barre Method?!

Move on, Counselor!

This Fastow dude is a dick, too.

Just sayin'...

#WalsheTrial
#TrialSky

OK, this Fastow dude is coming across a bit squirrelly on cross.

Why?

He doesn't need to be - unless I've missed something.

Also, where's the emotion that she's dead?

Weird.

#WalsheTrial
#TrialSky

That voicemail to Ana's beau, William Fastow, was REALLY ODD!

To act like either he doesn't know about Ana and Fastow, or that it's just no big whoop - "I hope all's well" - is bizarre.

His tone about her being missing - when he knows she's dead - Yeesh!

Work has been nuts the last couple of days, plus we had our first major snow storm yesterday, so I am way behind on the #WalsheTrial. I'm catching up with day 4 today & am going watch the days I missed over the weekend..

I heard something about some rather eye-popping Google searches...?

#TrialSky

I am curious about Gaurino's testimony since he's using Cellebrite records. In my mind, Cellebrite has been somewhat discredited since the last #KarenRead trial.

I do really like Judge Freniere. She's so accommodating to all parties and the lack of drama is highly appreciated.

Also, too, here comes a familiar face: Trooper Nicholas "Kill Me" Gaurino.

Now where have we seen him before, hmm???

I've been kind of spotty on the #WalsheTrial this morning with work stuff.

One thing I do think, he comes across as a thoroughly unlikable guy who I think is totally gonna rake step when he hits the witness stand.

Also, Judge Freniere is in complete control of that courtroom. No sighing, no interruptions. Just smooth as buttah!

It just shows what a train-wreck Cannone was.

This is a pretty good DA so far. His questions are succinct and to the point. He's not long-winded and meandering like Lally, and he's not an absolute rat-faced jerk like Brennan.

That is a very blank house. It has no character at all. Nothing on the walls, no distinctive decor.

Nothin'.

OK, this is just me being a grumpy old lady who doesn't like kids, but why wouldn't you separate them from the dad while you're interviewing him about the disappearance of their mother?

I know Larry Tipton is supposed to be a very good defense attorney, but this opening is sketch AF.

Walshe has already pleaded guilty to disposing of the body, so maybe this was their only play.

Still sounds bad.

Well, I did not have, "Ana died unexpectedly, so I had no other choice than to dismember her," on my bingo card, that's for sure.

#NorfolkCounty
#WalsheTrial
#TrialSky

As we head into the #WalsheTrial, this is a good primer. When I first tuned into this hearing, I thought he was pleading to everything, but no.

I like Judge Freniere. She's very calm, very matter of fact, her tone is very even.

Big switch from Cannone.

Brian Walshe pleads guilty to lesser charges related to death of his wife as murder trial begins | CNN A Massachusetts man about to be tried for the murder and dismemberment of his wife pleaded guilty to lesser charges on Tuesday – but the trial went on nonetheless.

So the trial for the murder charge is still on.

This is what I missed - what a confusing turn of events - and how inconvenient is work when all you want to do is watch a trial?!

But hey, we get to see Tipton question Proctor, which I'm here for!
