He put those tender records on the screen and he explained them to you. They are records that cannot be toyed with. They are records that T-Mobile holds regardless of whether you delete things. Those are his Tinder records. And not only did he not have Tinder notifications from that morning, he didn't even have Tinder notifications from November 22nd. That was their adequate provocation.
It didn't happen. We know for a fact it didn't happen. So now they stand up here and they say adequate provocation. He was provoked with zero evidence whatsoever. What the evidence was is that he chased her to the door of that apartment. Ms. Paglino Brewer was the state's best witness and I didn't even call her. I wish I would've. She nailed down our timeline.
If you didn't already believe the timeline because she sent her mother her location at 2 18, Courtney knows it. Courtney looked at her phone at 2 11 in the morning after she heard a scream of a woman in quote distress. And here's the kicker. They want you to believe this fabricated story that there's no proof of. But how does Courtney help us? Because she attacked Jason.
Again, we're uncommitted to this story now, but let's just go back to their opening statement. She attacked him with a wine bottle and then subsequently after he kicked her 98-pound body, according to opening statement, he kicked her 98-pound body to the floor where she fell on wine glasses.
She then subsequently came at him with a wine glass and he stabbed her irrationally and very fast, 60 times. Not true. Why? Because of Courtney and because of that phone location. Courtney was 2.11 a.m. The phone location to her mom was 2.18, seven minutes. She screamed profusely. Things happened. She was able to know she was in enough danger that she needed to send her mother, her location.
It wasn't fast. It wasn't fast at all. And we know that two 11 is seven minutes from two 18. It wasn't fast. She knew she was in danger. She tried to get out of the door and Courtney told you that she heard a door slam. Jasmine knew she was in trouble. She had time to use her phone before he started killing her.
He kicked her. He kicked 98-pound Jasmine Pace, and then he ran away. But he couldn't get the bathroom door closed because of a backpack. Couldn't close the door on 98-pound Jasmine Pace. So we had to run to his bedroom. Jasmine's right there coming at him with this broken glass.
In closing, they don't want to talk about the story that they committed to because the story they committed to was that he killed her in the bedroom. Quote, and he gets back into his bedroom and Jasmine's right there coming at him with this broken glass. Jason sees the knife and he reacts and he stabs. Okay, we got two problems there. First of all, his own expert, who I wish I would have called,
good expert, says that there's something that happened in the bathroom. There is blood spatter on the wall in the bathroom. Like General Moyle showed you, there is blood in the grout in the bathroom. We know she was moved. Why do we know she was moved? Because Dr. Cogswell testified
that on the ground in the bedroom where you see all of the blood, which was almost all of the blood that was in her body because he was only able to get a small vial of blood because it had all leaked out on the carpet. that for that blood to be on the carpet, she had to be laying on her wound side. That's what he said.
Because if she was not on her wound side, the blood would have soaked down to the other side of her body and the medical examiner would have been able to see that. He said she was wound side down. We know she was moved. We know she was moved and we know there wasn't enough room right there to just simply flip her over. She was killed.
Stabbing began in the bathroom and then he drove her into the bedroom where he put her on her side with the wound so she could bleed out. We know that. What else is the problem with this? Jason sees the knife and he reacts and he stabs. She's coming after him. He sees the knife and he stabs. The problem is...
Without question, over and over again, in writing, our medical examiner says her wounds match her fetal position. It is not true. Trying to confuse you.
Really, the worst part of the opening statement is he's scared. For what his future entails. But more importantly, the shame that he's going to bring on his family, the shame that comes with everything that is being accused of today. Manipulative. Selfish. He's scared for what his future entails. He's so scared that he texts on Tinder Victoria at 9.52 with some corny pickup line.
He's so scared for his future that he's playing video games with his friends later that day. Don't worry about Jasmine Pace who's dead in your apartment the entire day until 6 p.m. when you take her to Sub Creek Road. Keep in mind, when he Tinder messages Victoria, Jasmine is dead in his apartment. Uncontested facts. Is this the mindset of someone that just irrationally stabbed a girl 60 times?
No. And then he lies over and over and over again. And this is something that General Moyle didn't mention. He lies to Katrina Pace on the phone. He says he hasn't seen her since Saturday. A lot. Then he gets to his parents' house in Nolensville and he's trying to come up with a story. Not the story you heard Monday, but he's trying to come up with a story.
It says the last time I saw her was the 18th of November. The other sticky note on the desk says the last time I saw her was the 19th. Trying to get his facts right. He knows he's being looked for. He knows law enforcement's trying to contact him. Why? Because he's got Zach Crawford's number written on a post-it note. Does he ever say, hey, I killed her because she came to me with a wine bottle?
No. He's got Zach Crawford's number written on the post-it note. He's scared for what his future entails.
I'm going to ask y'all to do something for me. It's been a long week. I'm only going to have a couple more requests. When you think about this trial in 10 or 15 years, you tell somebody about the jury that you had to serve on in Hamilton County, tell them about the case. I don't want you to remember this case as the case of State of Tennessee versus Jason Chin, the trial of Tennessee. Jason Chen.
I don't want you to remember it with the suitcase that the girl left on the side of the road. I want you to remember this trial as the trial for Jasmine Pace. Because we talked a whole lot about criminal defendants. You've heard the name Jason Chen a whole lot since we started jury selection last week. Victims matter. Jasmine Pace is not just some girl listed in an autopsy report.
