At one point, he put it to the jury that it was possible that Tara killed her brother alone.

And he called her cunning.

He said she was devious.

And he said that she had the most to gain from his death.

He spoke about her legal protection from prosecution.

He said her immunity failed.

allowed her to just walk away completely untouched.

He even asked a rhetorical question, have the prosecution made a deal with the devil here?

At other points in the closings, he compared Marie to Lindy Chamberlain.

That was in response to the prosecution claiming she reacted callously to her son's death.

I mean, the short answer to that is no.

It isn't the defence's job to convince a jury something specifically happened.

He even said, we don't know what happened.

But he said there are several rational possibilities that could fit with the evidence.

He actually said the most likely scenario was that Jonathan did overdose himself.

He reminded them of the fact that Jonathan's friends gave evidence during the trial and said he'd struggled with addiction and depression for years.

And that he had a pattern of self-harm and obviously access to medications that, you know, could kill him.

And of course, he spoke about the note.

He said it shows that he was suicidal.

He tells the jury that they should question why the prosecution chose to wait so long to introduce this note.
