CLOSING ARGUMENTS UNDERWAY
Testimony has concluded and the closing arguments are underway.
Jury deliberations will likely begin this week.
I'm torn on this one. Mazzaglia is a pig and I think he's guilty of causing Lizzi's death.
But his ex, Kat McDonough, is a also a pig and I do not believe that she was dominated by Mazzaglia, despite their age difference. She's proven to lie like a rug and I think she's ultra manipulative. I very much wish that the state had a more reliable witness against Mazzaglia, someone who I don't suspect might be equally culpable in Lizzi's death. McDonough's plea deal was way too sweet for my taste.
Anyway, her plea is a done deal and I hope the jury is more confident in her testimony and credibility than am I and that Mazzaglia isn't acquitted. I think he'll be convicted of at least second degree murder and conspiracy, but juries surprise me all the time.
