So if I'm getting this right, defense theory...a person without a house came into the school, shot Chef Brophy, TWICE, stole a waffle iron and climbed up onto the roof?

Not just *a* man, but a scary, homeless *black* man! A *homeless* black man that was rummaging through garbage bins all the while having access to a gun worth over a $1,000 after having committed murder!

What kind of court proceedings are these where the defense lawyers are so casual, making statements like I know how much you like him and many statements citing personal views…kangaroo court, also witness box a couple feet from defendant…crazy.

The lawyers may make such statements if they wish. The court has nothing to do with it. It is not a “kangaroo court.” You must not know what the term means.

Defense is grasping at straws. She murdered a beautiful soul for greed

So the Defense is insinuating that a homeless shot Dan, didn't take anything and then rummaged around in bins while the crime scene swarmed with cops. Clutching at straws!!!

That woman police officer defense called was FANTASTIC! What a pleasure to have someone so professional, precise, and articulate. She did a great job for the prosecution. That lovely woman who's a chef instructor at Lincoln. What a gem. Her students are so lucky to have someone with such a big heart. I'll bet there was only one person in the room unmoved by her testimonial and memories of Dan, the one sitting in the defense box. Great witness for the prosecution. But disgusting that defense wanted to ask a sex question in the middle of all that sorrow. I didn't even understand the question; it was just all innuendo, but totally out of place. Does anyone know what that question actually was?

I don't know what specific sex act the defense lawyer was hinting about...but that whole topic backfired on her...the witness said whatever it was, it was said in a joking manner and in a situation that made me think of how things get said in a "locker room" atmosphere between the guys...but, of course locker room talk is notoriously exaggerated/lies...so she embarrassed the witness and got information that did not help

Yeeah, way better, but now we keep seeing the back of the prosecutor's head! And you can look at the laptop screens of the prosecution team.

The victims friend, her speaking about him just broke my heart! THAT is how one should speak of a loved one that was murdered! His friend is more emotional (not even in just crying, but emotional as far as how she feels about him), said far more heartfelt things. Yes, people grieve differently, but you can’t watch this awful lady(his wife) and say she’s not fishy in all of her behavior.

The young woman who was close to Dan wouldn’t look at Nancy on the stand or when she stepped down to leave. I have a feeling she made a better prosecution witness.

I wonder if the defense prepared any of the witnesses. The most professional was the forensic accountant but I still didn’t see how her conclusions helped the defense. The retired professor was a waste of defense resources. The police officers didn’t help the defense. My granddaughter will attend Lincoln in a couple of years, a straight A student who loves to cook. I hope she has time in her schedule to take the culinary class taught by that witness.

It’s mind-boggling how many leading and/or compound questions during direct examination are permitted without any objection. This occurred during the state’s case as well but I had attributed this to the incompetence of defense counsel. Truthfully I had been looking forward to seeing the prosecutors preventing defense counsel from asking similarly objectionable questions so it’s a bit disappointing.

I can’t imagine the horror of being romantic with Nancy. She’s so cold and mean spirited. 🤮

Nancy put the nails in her own coffin in about 30 minutes from talking to the police. She lied saying she was home in bed, and videos from parking garage showed her in her car in the same area as the culinary school. Then with the last swing on the coffins, she calls the lead detective and lies about the life insurance amount and there were 8 life policies. She wanted a note to the insurance agent from detective saying she was not a suspect so they would release the insurance check to her.

Great wording!

The lawyers for the state and the defense are so professional and respectful, what a great opportunity to see the legal process work. The defense attorneys were intent on providing the very best defense possible within the limits of legal ethics, Nancy was well defended, although highly circumstantial it was beyond a shadow of a doubt she was guilty, I do not if Oregon has the death sentence but if they do she was lucky to only receive a life sentence ( given her age). So cold blooded.

Prosecution should have brought a witness to say whether or not Nancy could sell the house after Dan's death since she wasn't on the mortgage.

What a waste of this lady officers time. Does the defense seriously believe that someone walked in, shot Dan then climbed through the ceiling to the roof to escape instead of gong right back out the nearest door? LOL, LOL, LOL

Does anyone recall how much life insurance Nancy had on herself?
