Ah yeah, I probably shouldn't even speculate, but it seems like it was a 'hot-blood' murder. She loved this guy, got jealous, and since they're in Texas there's guns everywhere. A world different from sitting in her house coldly planning out how to do it. It's still bad, but if I were her lawyer this would be my argument.

I'm a mechanical engineer. In instances like this, and other times trying to understand unhinged humans like this woman, I kinda wish I would've put more effort towards psych classes or even a psych major. I just can't put any of the puzzles pieces together to even try to understand the thought process. It's just scary there are people like this roaming around out there.


This!

Clearly she's a bit to a lot unhinged. There were tell-tale signs from everything I have read about her. But because so much of what else she did was "normal" - people would just gloss over it all and forget about it.

It seems from what we have heard and seen, it's somewhat of an open and closed case - but I read somewhere the Defense has information that no one has heard about apparently that will change EVERYTHING about the way it's all been explained so far. I guess we will find out soon enough!

There was an episode of Without a Trace where a prisoner who was just a few weeks short of being released went missing. The FBI guys thought something had happened to him, the warden thought he'd escaped. When the FBI guys asked, "why would he escape when he's so class to his release date?" the warden replied (paraphrasing here), "these men have bad judgement. That's why they're here."

So, yeah. I go back to that thought a lot - including earlier in this thread, when people were asking why she'd go to all the trouble of fleeing the country, when the destination she chose has an extradition treaty with the US while a neighboring country does not. A lot of people making very bad decisions. And, of course, too many people in the US making those decisions with guns in their hands.

There is probably no place in Central or South America that isn't happy to return a U.S. citizen under indictment for "simple murder" in the U.S. And I think they all have actual extradition treaties. Where roadblocks might come is extraditing a citizen of the foreign country to the U.S. for a crime committed in the U.S. Countries tend to hesitate to extradite their own citizens. But no one's going to have an incentive to protect Armstrong.

Also Costa Rica resorts seem like a decent place in blend in. I'm not supporting her overall decision making, just PSA that if you're running from the law, you're not "home free" anywhere in South or Central America. Even Venezuela will extradite, and it's maybe the least U.S.-friendly country in the area.

I'm no extradition expert. There was some Monday Morning Quarterbacking earlier in this thread (their term, not mine) that she would have been better off going to Nicaragua, that's all I was going with.

Closing arguments just wrapped up on the Kaitlin Armstrong trial that started on 11/1 - consensus is that it doesn't seem like it will take the jury too long to make a (guilty) decision.

So what was the profound evidence that the defense was just waiting to reveal to the world?

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

None according to this article Murder trial in killing of rising pro cyclist Anna 'Mo' Wilson nears end. What has happened so far? (msn.com)

Guilty https://www.kxan.com/...murdering-mo-wilson/

As a student mechanical engineer I wish I'd spend more time trying to understand Laplace transforms and partial differentiation better, and maybe less time in the pub trying to get the opportunity to get to understand female humans.

Guilty

Sentenced to 90 years.

Eligible for parole when she's 80.
Life expectancy of inmates is shorter than the general population so she's likely to die in prison.
Oh well.

"She's such a special person," Christine Armstrong said before looking at Kaitlin Armstrong. "I've always looked up to you. ... She's always cared for other people."

per her sister.. really, you're going to say that at a murder trial?

people have such a sense of weird loyalty when it comes to family. if my sister murdered someone, i wouldn't be saying shit like, you always cared for other people, lol.

Yeah, but same sister that also gave Armstrong her passport so she could flee the country, so morality and empathy has clearly long departed that family.

She testified that she didn't give it to her.....

That Armstrong's DNA was on the saddle and handlebars of Wilson's bike, and not on the frame "where any normal person would pick up the bike".

I have a bridge to sell anyone that believes her!

Yeah my passport and extra cash are locked in my safe. If my brother were on the run I would take them out of the safe, place them in a drawer right in front of him and then walk away. Wink...Wink....

I hope your brother is a good person so this never comes to fruition.

It seems rather obvious that in reality the sister did actually give it to her, but spoken or unspoken they agreed that if caught Kaitlin would say she stole it. Adding theft of a passport/identity theft to murder charges is a drop in the bucket. Her sister getting a felony conviction and potential jail time for aiding a fugitive is a very big deal.

Actually he is an A-Hole. Wouldn't even let him in my house. I doubt her sister catches any charges for this.

What does her possibly being pregnant have anything to do with the murder? Are they going to argue it was a hormonal response and not premeditated?
