With evidence mounting against Bullock in Phase 1, will the defense go for the Judge or Jury, if Phase 2 proceeds

Gary Lee Bullock is the only one seen wandering around for hours on video on St. Bernard church grounds from approximately 2 a.m until 7 a.m on Jan 1, 2014. He is the only one on video seen entering the rectory and exiting the rectory and driving away in Fr. Eric Freed's car. The car is found on his mother and step father's property, concealed. Fingerprints, blood, DNA place him at the crime scene.

His attorney, Mr. Kaleb Cockrum has failed to impeach the credibility of any of the People's witnesses. Whether he was successful in raising some questions during his cross examination of EPD Detective Amber Cosetti remains to be seen. Deputy District Attorney Mr. Andrew Issac has been masterful in redirect , decimating any question raised by Mr. Cockrum with evidence.

So far, the evidence in Phase 1 of the trial does not look good for Bullock. He has a better chance, maybe, of trying his luck with Phase 2 of proving his plea of guilty by insanity. That remains to seen when the experts testify on their psychaitric evaluation of Bullock.

If Bullock is found guilty by the jury in Phase 1, will Mr. Cockrum waive his right for trial by jury for Phase 2?

However, you may not assert the legal defense of insanity just because you

• Were addicted to drugs or alcohol when you committed the crime, or
• Had recently used drugs or alcohol when you committed the crime.¹⁵
