[0:00]" He had -- trial continues and the defense has come up with what apparently is its idea of how to get their client Neil Entwistle. Off the hook and joining us this morning. Is noted Boston defense attorney. Al Johnson Al yesterday at least based on the line of questioning that was the cross examination of their whistles attorney it appears. They're trying to establish at least the possibility. That and whistles wife shot the baby in the shot herself."
[0:29]" That's apparently the -- it is said that defense attorneys Brabant period criminal trial is to create reasonable doubt. If that is the case and you must give defense counsel in this case and forever -- But also as an adult must be reasonable not any doubt. In in this case so far. Any doubt. What could be created could not reasonable sense no one could explain underrated murderous suicide. Situation are the gun was returned to -- proposals father in law's home."
[1:05]" Right however can a reasonable person explain why Neil Entwistle didn't have any gunpowder. On his hands or on his car keys -- his BMW -- anywhere. And those of the victims that his daughter and his wife both did have. Gunpowder residue since when a gunners fired the generally speaking some of the gunpowder blows back in the hands of the shooter."
[1:33]" It usually doesn't forensic. Imus will tell you that the gunpowder residue will go into a pattern from the muzzle of the weapon toward a particular object to which it is pointed. And in this particular case that would point toward ritual and missile. In the -- It would indicate that the resident pattern. Affected her and not the person holding the weapon. That's only a theory of mine in the but it is one which is established by forensic scientists over the years. We must remember that. You know no matter what the gunpowder residue shows no matter what the theory. Of the defenses as a result of cross examination that any doubt must appear reasonable -- And the judge instructed the jury that reasonable doubt is not any doubt at all but it must stand the test of reasonableness."
[2:29]" Also making headlines Al during this trial. Has been the computer habits of Neil Entwistle fact that before the deaths of his wife and his daughter he apparently had visited and even had listed. With a subscription in some sort of a sex services site had looked at last minute trip deals to Europe. And had done a global search for how to kill by knife. How damning is that."
[2:55]" Well I think it is -- the purpose of it is time to establish that. Not only did Neil Entwistle not our leaders seeing activity murder as a result of the immediate impulse. But that he had planned a couple of some kind not much -- the other suspects out of it simply -- Motivate him in the government's case which was explained during the opening statements about the prosecutor that there was a motive 300 dissatisfied with -- Marital its original acquittal."
[3:32]" Based on what you've seen so far Al Johnson. I was at the age in this prosecution the defense."
[3:37]" Well it's very difficult at this stage to help. -- we haven't heard any difference cases in my opinion. Based upon what I see what I hear that they probably not going to put -- dependent on the witness stand and because of the expansion testimony it is a plot to be elicited from government witnesses so. I think that at this juncture didn't have to say that the evidence seemed to indicate image. Purely circumstantial case the weight of the evidence -- prosecutor."
[4:10]" my final question Drew this morning L Johnson and you certainly have had face this conundrum yourself on innumerable occasions. -- if you don't put your client the defendant on the stand doesn't that suggest to the jury that. He's trying to hide something that maybe he or she is guilty."
[4:29]" Who does. I have had very little success over the years wanted the planet does not take a stand the only time that. It -- is acquitted when he does not take the stand. Is when there's a technical legal. Objection to the evidence such -- the government has the wrong -- the wrong time for the wrong individuals quoted an some I think it is very very difficult or depressed -- expected an acquittal. If they do not put dependent on the state and particularly his or her actions."
[5:01]" Defense attorney L Johnson helping us understand the back and forth. At the war were courthouse in the Neil Entwistle double murder trial on WBZ thank you well"
