New Mexico criminal defense attorney John W. Day joins Court TV to analyze the prosecution’s key witness in the murder trial of Blaise Taylor, who is accused of poisoning his pregnant girlfriend, Jade Benning.
John breaks down how witness credibility, motive, and the defense’s claims of a flawed investigation could influence the jury.
During the discussion, John explains why the victim’s best friend’s testimony may resonate with jurors, while also examining the defense’s strategy of highlighting inconsistencies, unexplained evidence, and investigative gaps. He also weighs in on the judge’s courtroom management, the significance of the alleged phone call at the center of the case, and whether unanswered questions could ultimately lead to reasonable doubt.
