Defense Attorney's Opening Statement and Argument
The defense argues that the prosecution's charges against Jennifer Crumbly are an attempt to assign blame for a community tragedy, but that holding Jennifer responsible won't solve the town's wounds. The defense also emphasizes that the crime was committed by the husband, not Jennifer, and that the evidence lacks context and explanation. Additionally, the defense highlights that the prosecution has cherry-picked negative texts and images from a regular family's life, and urges the jury to consider Jennifer's perspective despite the community's negative sentiments toward her.
