Скачать или смотреть Defense Closing: State Can't Prove Murder Beyond Reasonable Doubt

Brian Walshe's defense attorney Larry Tipton delivered his closing argument to the jury, asking one central question: How could a loving husband who made dinner reservations to be alone with his wife on New Year's Day have planned to murder her hours earlier? Tipton walked the jury through the evidence, arguing the Commonwealth failed to prove murder beyond a reasonable doubt. Ana Walsh wrote on a champagne box that night: "What a year. And yet we are still here and together."

The defense concedes Brian lied to police and disposed of Ana's body. But Tipton argues those actions came from fear and confusion after finding her suddenly dead, not guilt from murder. He pointed to the lack of blood evidence anywhere in the house except the basement, the knife investigators "lost interest in," and 1,034 pages of digital data with no evidence Brian ever planned to harm the woman he loved.

CASE BACKGROUND REPORT:
https://www.justiceisaprocess.com/bri...

📖 CASE BACKGROUND

Ana Walshe, 39, vanished January 1, 2023. Her husband Brian claimed she left for a D.C. flight. Investigators found no evidence she left the house. Searches at 4:55 a.m. asked "how long before a body starts to smell" and "dismemberment and best ways to dispose of a body." Blood in basement and car. Ana's belongings, hacksaw, and hatchet in trash. DNA from both on recovered items.

Brian faces first-degree murder, misleading police, and improper conveyance of remains. Defense challenges everything: no body, no proof of death, no murder weapon. Lead investigator Michael Proctor was later fired for bias in another case. Brian is presumed innocent. Can the state prove murder beyond reasonable doubt without a body?

⚖️ ABOUT JUSTICE IS A PROCESS

This channel continues the work of Steven M. Askin, a criminal defense attorney who was disbarred in 1998 for refusing to violate attorney-client privilege, then criminally convicted in 2010 for teaching people their constitutional rights from a coffee shop in Martinsburg, West Virginia. He passed away in February 2024, but not before he and I started this channel together.

I am Steven M. Askin II. I am not an attorney. I am a watchdog. I cover criminal trials to educate the public about due process, the presumption of innocence, and constitutional protections. Every video on this channel is part of building the machine the system feared my father would create: a public trained to watch, question, and demand accountability.

This is not entertainment. This is education. This is oversight. This is Justice Is A Process.
