"They were cowardly attacks on defenseless women from behind, similar to others"

Mr. Glenn Brown tried and parts of his closing arguments may or may not resonate with a juror, only time will tell but the jury was mesmerized, focused on his rebuttal. Mr. Sequeira has owned the courtroom and this trial from day one with masterful presentation of solid evidence.

I will have detailed coverage of both arguments later today.

Highlights from Mr. Sequeira:

"Who killed Dorothy Ulrich? Who is driving the KIA?" is how Mr. Sequeira started his rebuttal. "The defense wants you to speculate that there is some mystery dude out there. He (Mr. Brown)
hints there is some creepy guy, Mark Nelson. Someone may have gotten in, windows may have been open."

"Karen Quenell told you the windows were closed. Nothing to indicate Mark Nelson was there. Jason Warren was there. If the defense had sliver of evidence Mark Nelson was there, you would have heard it."

"She didn't stay stop Mark, don't do this."

"He's never walked up to anyone's face before, he attacked everyone from behind."

"They were cowardly atacks on defenseless women from behind, similar to others"

"They were ambushed, life cut short for no reason."

"I can't make sense of why this happened or why human beings do this to each other. I know what I have proven to you."

Saying everyone is entitled to a good defense and a good lawyer and have due process, Mr. Sequeira said Jason Warren had a good lawyer, a Judge who watched out for his rights.

"No matter how good he is, " refering to Mr. Glenn Brown, "he cannot change the facts."

"He's had his trial, he has his good lawyer, he had a judge who was scrupulous, now it's time to hold him responsible. "

Mr. Sequeira ended his rebuttal with asking the jury for "Justice for Dorothy Ulrich, Suzanne Seemann, Jessica Hunt and Terri Vroman Little."

Countering the defense argument that the prosecution did not meet the burden of proof for torture and that some mystery guy killed Dorothy Ulrich, Mr. Sequeira said, "He's trying to kill her, him, not some mystery guy." He brought up HCSO detective Cheryl Franco's testimony of counting 59 to 65 whacks on the audio of the attack. "We have a woman lying on her face, he has a heavy sword, there was no problem if he wanted to kill her, he could have."

"It lasted for that long, you think a strong man standing over a defenseless woman is going to take three minutes to kill her or is he beating her or sticking her. He could have shown mercy, he did not."
