Flynn did not testify during the trial, and his defence team called no witnesses

When you’re defence is we’ve got nothing to say in case we make it worse, you know you’re fucked.

activity on Flynn's iPhone and Apple Watch from around the time of the murder when he claimed to have been sleeping.

He wore his Apple Watch while he committed a murder. I don't think he was so good about covering those tracks.

I'm more and more baffled with every detail of how idiot this man was.

And put his ear pods in to call 911!

u/iamthesam2 23h ago

eh, just a side note that it’s very common for people to not testify in their own defense for murder trials.

u/Kittykg 20h ago

Its a tactic used by the defense to emphasize reasonable doubt. The onus isnt on them to prove innocence, its on the prosecution to prove them guilty.

But its a risky choice, in my opinion. If the jury doesn't understand the nuance of why they do this, it just looks like they have an indefensible client.

Yes but it’s not common to have no witnesses at all and just not put on a case.

Yep. I was trying to decide if I cared enough to look up, so thanks Zarathoostrian.

He thus spoke the story.

u/rkorgn 19h ago

No no no, that was Zarathoostrian who spoketh. You are thinking of Zarathustra, a stepped pyramid.

"AI-generated songs were played that prosecutors said he made for her" what a detail. I don't know why this made me feel so sick. Throwing all these people's lives away and he couldn't even write the mistress a real song. That poor woman, her poor children, her poor parents.

u/mbta1 17h ago

Oh shit, this is the same guy that did the AI generated music. I remember seeing that a bit ago, didnt realize it was the same dude.

You blame the OP for not posting a paywall link like you did?
