Defense Attorney Joshua Weiss

He left breadcrumbs everywhere he went. He got Jasmine's phone. He used her phone. The state has asked you to believe that Jason had full control of her phone from 2 o'clock on, but they don't want you to think for a moment that he, yet again, made a mistake. He tries to not share a location, stops sharing a location, and drops a pen.

They want you to believe that Jasmine was shackled when she was being stabbed. Dr. Coxwell was asked very specific questions, questions that you can remember. You can look back through your notes and recall his testimony and discuss this among yourselves. There were no ligature marks on Jasmine's wrist. There were no ligature marks on Jasmine's ankles. There were no cuts. There were no bruising.

The law is clear. We're not asking you to believe that Jason had hours, days, months that he's playing this out. But you have to know with moral certainty that he had a moment to reflect and that he didn't. It's the state's burden to show you that he had that moment of reflection and that he chose to disregard and to continue to engage in acts that killed Jasmine Pace.
