Some trees and a man died for this

It is interesting that they requested Evelyn's testimony as she didn't have much relevant to say about the murder itself. Maybe they already have a decision on the death of John Upton but are ow considering the secondary charge. I hope we get a verdict tomorrow...otherwise more and more likely for a hung jury.— June 18, 2014 7:28 p.m.

It seems HIGHLY unlikely that Zeller or James Upton removed a gun. Zeller never even had a chance to go back to the body as Vilkin threatened her as well and the police arrived at the scene just after James Upton saw his dad. To me, it is beyond a reasonable doubt that James was in the state of mind to see a gun and think that he must remove it so a self defense claim couldn't be claimed. He just said his father bleeding and dead on the ground....I very much doubt his first thought was to hide a gun. He testified (which was confirmed by first responders) that the first thing he did was walk in the direction of Vilkin just after he saw his dad on the ground. IF there was a gun and he knew Vilkin just shot his dad, surely he would have picked it up to defend himself as he approached Vilkin. The suggestion that Upton had a gun is preposterous despite the missing 22.— June 11, 2014 9:05 p.m.
