Summary
A somewhat shocking day in the Brian Walshe trial with the defense announcing not only will Brian Walshe not testify, no one else will either. It’s a decision based on strategic confidence or avoidance of risk, but either way, the defense surprised a number of legal experts who were anticipating at least a few witnesses to take the stand in defense of Walshe. Today’s decision suggests Walshe’s defense team feels good about their ability to sew reasonable doubt in the minds of jurors through their cross examination of the state’s witnesses. Closing arguments are set for tomorrow!

| 0:46.3 | I mean, as a juror, if he, here's the deal. |
| 0:49.5 | I hate to say this, but if he is innocent of the charges, I, and he is saying that he found his wife, |
| 0:58.0 | debt, I want to hear how he found her, where he found her, at what time he found her, what |
| 1:04.3 | condition she was in, what his thoughts were in the moment. I want to, I, you want to believe someone. It would be so nice to believe |
| 1:12.9 | that he didn't actually kill his wife. I didn't think about that. The way you put it now is |
| 1:18.4 | that I would give him more of a shot if he would tell me his story. Yeah, that makes sense. |
| 1:24.1 | In this case, what the defense is claiming, that he walked in and found his wife dead and he panicked, |

| 1:33.5 | Even the gruesomeness of what he did afterwards in the panic of trying to protect his children from losing both parents, I could maybe get behind it. |
