Jason McDermott

Jason was far too meek to murder.

He was a young man just trying to figure life out, not menacing, not threatening, didn't come across as a danger to society.

Jason was very much so into things like Pokemon cards and Pokemon Go, very much so into fictional stories, enjoyed reading.

Graham argued the case was completely circumstantial, like those traffic camera images.

There was no proof that that was Jason's vehicle.

There was not a reading from a license plate.

And Graham said the prosecution was never able to definitively match the bullet found at the scene with their supposed murder weapon.

The bullet was unique in how it was coded.

None of those bullets were found in Jason's father's parents' home.

Graham suggested the sheriff's department may have arrested the wrong Jason.

Graham pointed to that fight Morgan had with her live-in boyfriend, Jason Skarniecki, two weeks before she was killed.

There were some pretty nasty things said by both Ms.

Fox and Mr. Skarniecki, Jason Skarniecki.

The prosecutor's response?

By the day Morgan was killed, they were doing fine.

Jason had texted her when he woke up.

Morning, babe.

Hope your shift's going well.

Love you.

The jury never heard Jason McDermott tell his side of the story.
