Summary

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/PSbCLrOzh58 Day 10 of the Brian Walshe Trial happened on December 12, 2025. An extraordinary and intense day focused on the Closing Arguments from both the Defense and the Prosecution. The Defense presented no case, relying on the Prosecution's burden of proof. We break down the argument that emphasized a "sudden unexpected event" rather than premeditated murder. Key points include the Google searches indicated a man in "disbelief and confusion," not a planned killer. The delay in the word "murder" appearing in searches (6 hours). Lack of evidence of a plan or intent to kill in the 1,000+ pages of digital data. The reservation deletion was framed as an effort to avoid violating probation, not to cover up murder. The prosecution wove together a narrative of premeditation, focusing on a timeline of receipts, video, and digital evidence. Key points include the irony of the deleted New Year's Day dinner reservation text from the defendant's supposedly "missing" phone. The significance of the defendant's phone being unlocked and plugged in while he claimed it was misplaced. The Google searches (e.g., "best way to dispose of a body," "can you be charged with murder without a body?") showing intent to hide the crime. The argument to the jury: do not let the defendant benefit from his "self-serving act of dismembering and disposing of Anna Walsh." Discussion with the judge about impounding (sealing) the victim impact statements from the children of Ana and Brian Walshe to protect their privacy interests, and the jury's decision to resume deliberations on Monday morning.
