Court resumes

Closings are done. Jury will get 1/2 hour for lunch and then instructions and choosing alternates.

Brennan's closing: "the defendant asked for yet another favor. Look up hypothermia. Find out how long it takes for someone to die in a cold. And there's Mrs. McCabe and her winter jacket. Soccer mom, "She gets vilified as a murderer. The soccer mom who came to help"

Brennan closing: "She pivots and she calls Kerry (Roberts) 'Kerry, Kerry, John's dead. I think he got hit by a plow.' Why do you think she chose those words?... Because she knew that there was a collision with a large motor vehicle, and she had to substitute. "

Hank Brennan's closing: "When you are under the influence of alcohol and you drive a 6,000 pound Lexus in the heat of the moment at the direction of where somebody is, whether you intend to hit them or not, I submit to you that is wanton, it is reckless."

AJ: "Not a single medical expert called by the defense or called by the Commonwealth has testified that John was hit by a car. Not one. Think about the irony. " AJ: "Doctor Dan Wolf did the testing on the tail light. Actual testing, not some ridiculous blue paint kindergarten

Jackson is going all in on Brian Higgins showing video from Waterfall Bar AJ: "These guys are not good friends. They barely spoke or even acknowledged each other when they walked into the bar together, other than a quick greeting. So why was Higgins coaxing John over to 34

Closings begin. Alan Jackson first. He tells jury: "You folks are the last line of defense. The last line of defense between an innocent woman and a system that has tried to break her, that falsely accused her, that tried mightily, mightily to bury the truth. This case was
