Can any legal eagles tell us why the defendant would opt for a bench trial?

#4 fat bass tard on 09/26/11 at 07:36 AM

because they very rarely give the death penalty for a bench trial. it's like throwing yourself to the mercy of the court.

True. A Lot of judges will say that their least favorite cases are death penalty and parental rights termination because of the life impact and far ranging effects of their decisions.

Ah, thanks gentlemen!
I'm guessing she and her attorney know that she will not go free and are just hoping for less than life in prison.

Also enhances opportunity for appeal based on anything, I.e.prejudice, ineffectual counsel, etc ..

It is a smart move to have a bench trial. She doesn't want a jury of her "peers" deciding her fate if they are too stupid to get out of jury duty. Besides, a cougar like Terry gives off silent signals of being innocent. I don't believe a beauty like Terry is capable of killing anybody, especially an abusive husband. She doesn't deserve to be locked up with a bunch of loved starved females. I hope the judge is a sensitive person who looks beyond the trumped up facts against her. Was there any gunshot residue on her? Any victim DNA? Any eyewitnesses? Any confession? Any video or audio evidence? Any threats from her?
She looks like a victim of domestic violence. IF she did it, it was probably self defense because of PTSD as a result of spousal abuse. Turn her loose! She has suffered enough.

It really funny that when I worked with her, she never came to work with bruises. She dated Buzz over 20 years before marrying two years before his death. Why marry him after so long of being abused? In my opinion, if there was abuse, it would be her against him. She is mean as a snake and is unstable.

How does someone look like a victim of domestic violence without bruising of the face? She will say anything to get her butt loose. She needs to be in jail or in a mental hospital.
