I wanted to show this Article from the California because his participation in the community was so obvious to many people…that counsel wants you to ignore…5:05:51 To take into consideration in determining what the sentence should be. 5:06:07 Nice things about Joanie…most limited to school…Knew them from school..Vincent was wonderful with children…said the same thing…different schools. Different times…everywhere he taughter…not just an average teacher, he was outstanding…and they said so. 2/3 alive gave him the highest marks they could give. Tuaght in Spanish…and he learned to do it….AS weet note, love mArgaret…5:09:05 Defendnats ability to get along with others…
Doesn’t mention the guy in the backyard with the hose…doesn’t decide he saw the defendant there until 8 months later..until he’s got himself in another jam…exceedingly weak evidence for the death penalty. The defendant on his way into slaughter his entire family was approached by former student…Mr. Calloway…and then proceeded to go in and do it. 5:14:02 The theory about the April trip…never heard an ounce of evidence on this…threw out theory intended to be the run for homicide….something happened to abort…no proof of that…if Mr. Calloway saw on that weekend at the house…is it at all reasonable he would have don what he says he did. That doesn’t make sense. Circumstantionl aevidnece…two reasonable interpretations of an event, must chose the defense interpretation. In this case it is…rule of circumstnational evidence…if presents you with a reasonable…must find that to be be true. 5:15:39 Is it reasonable to think about earlier aborted trip would have completed that crime after being seen Hi Mr. Brothers./..that is beyond the pale of reasonableness…that is absurd, I submit. I think that’s an enormous amount of doubt…the defedant in an obscure car rented 2000 miles away would park it and drive around town to kill people in a vehicle everybody recognizes…hey there’s VB. 5:17:07 Three incredible foundations…because don’t have enough clay of the worst sort, of the weakest kind. Piggy backed..no hay trucks in the west are there…exist…bnut Kimsey’s report based on stuff done 50 years ago…more than 50 years ago..every time something published the range of those creates gets bigger…5:19:58 Your testimony had gone to Columbia, north central Missouri….
That you can consider retaliation…Doesn’t work in Iraq. A member or a group of members have an oppotunirty to kill or not…4:15:42 We generally like to think we have rules. And that there are things we will follow we will do and consider before we make such a momentous decision. That’s what we are doing. We all agreed to listen, would go into penalty phase with an open mind even though we would never get unless you had believed beyond reasonable doubt the defendant had killed his entire family. 4;16:48
Added one thing to their case…superficial lacerations…we produced witnesses…I guess a law of moving from one coast to the other…south African passport could not move more than a couple of miles…convicted because move from east coast to west coast which does create communication problems…counsel would have you ignore the old friends I think it’s a remarkable human being that has friends like that…there are n;t a lot of people who could produce the quality and quanityt of the people willing to ocme out for Vincent. 4:18:40
It isn’t a different person, please that was VB. Exactly the way teachers described him, got along with opeople, liked kids and was studious and a good guy. That’s exactly the testimony of the Eastern people, who knew hi here…said almost the same thing…4:21:03
There is no favorite. Death is not favored. There is no assumption of death…do not have to move you from death…what we discussed back in jury selection. It is your decision…it is sometimes kind of subterraneanly suggested to you…but you don’t have to make a decision.
4;25:47 We all decided would decide here knowing unless we had found that crime.
4:26:05Arcaeholigist coming from a different planet we’re all dead and long gone..who or what lived here. And they start putting things together…ancient Egyptian…what say about the United States…the place with the greatest engineering…possibly…got rome, Greece, you have Germany…lots of competitors…lots of things that they were superior would it be art…we could paint for a million years…france italy, flanders…
Military.
4:29:12 We are what we are. Because of things like what we are doing right now.That’s what’s so strange about this place. That’s why more people try to get in here than ever existed…They come here…for a long time and apparently a long time ago…because of our system of freedom…of the whole thing about this country…Thomas Jefferson…proposed at writing constitution in Philadelphia that a person could only be convicted by their friends and relatives, and of course…that’s ridiculous. Law is to limit the state…1783 William Pitt…England was not a fun place…lost the 13 colonies…France and out allies…things not wonderful in England and a lot of pressure to do away with the tranditional freedoms of Englishmen…so it could be more efficiently…Stood up and said…necessity is the plea for every infringement of freedom…it is the argument of tyrants, it is the creed of slaves. 4:33:53 No one here proposed freedom for VB. Not going that far…4:34:09 We are asking you to allow him to spend the rest of his life in prison. 4:34:22 You have a record of a long life before you to make that decision 41 years…which counsel wants you to hold against him because of his age…4:34:44 If after applying the theory og lingering doubt at the very worst…you have found a horrible weekend in his life of 41 years…4:35:07 All the rest of tha t41 years was honorable discharge from two tours of duty…nobody had to do it…excellent you know bachelors degree, credential, masters degree…His years are in his favor..4:35:44 What elese would you have him do…do he go to the wrong college…gone to PHD…? And in fact he told you that’s why he was investigating various other universities for entering possible PHD Programs…not unbelievable…it’s the next step.We know they were religious, but so was Vincent’s. He has ministers in his family…Jonie in her family. We produced a witness that recalled an incident that where Vincent was quoting scripture seriously to a group of athletes.
4:38:45 If anything I have done or said offended you, it wouldn’t be the first time, but I humbly apologize…but regardless of how it has affected you…4:39:29 Do not hold it against Vincent Brothers. 4:39:59 You can vote for life if you wish, you can vote for life not because I will be presented a great deal from early life, wonderful relatives…quality people…not anybody doubts that…how absurd…Kernels in the army..quality people…but in the last analysi…you can vote for life, just because you want to vote for life…but I would ask you to consider the mitigation along with the aggrivator
