Groves Trial - Defense Closing Argument

Publicado 2020-01-10
A mother and father in Scioto County, Ohio stand trial in the death of their infant son. Young Dylan Groves was found dead 30 feet down a well last year, prosecutors said. Authorities blame the boy’s parents–mother Jessica Groves, and father Daniel Groves–for what happened. The defendants are charged with aggravated murder, murder, kidnapping, endangering children, tampering with evidence, interference with custody, gross abuse of a corpse, and four counts of felonious assault.

Problems stemmed right from Dylan’s day of birth on January 10, 2019. The boy was born with drugs in his system, authorities claim. Daniel Groves later got the child back after showing that he followed regulations, but the defendant allegedly started missing important dates, including court dates and doctor’s appointments.

Investigators claim that both defendants bolted on a four-wheeler when authorities dropped by the home for a checkup on May 20, according to WLTW. Deputies obtained a search warrant, got Jessica Groves to give herself up quickly, but Daniel Groves was only arrested after a six-hour standoff. Authorities said they found $42,000 of stolen items at the residence, and later found the late infant in a well.

Deputies said Dylan Groves didn’t even make it to a full three months of age. They claim there’s evidence showing he’d been dead since March.

How Baby Dylan Was Found In the Well:
A coroner determined that the victim had been slain. The child sustained several bone fractures, had been wrapped in plastic bags with duct tape, then put in milk crates that were wrapped in chains, and other bindings, according to WSAZ. The crates were weighted down with rocks and a weight, authorities said. As in his birth, Groves died with drugs in his body, according to the coroner. This allegedly included methamphetamine.

    The prosecution lawyer is so angry after her amazing closing that shes shaking. She was so moved to defend that child that it affected her personally. She is an amazing woman and a kick ass of a lawyer.
  • It's really aggravating hearing the defense try and spin 'taking responsibility' for the crime into a virtue. Taking responsibility would have been preventing the crime. Taking responsibility would have been reporting the crime. This entire crime comes down to avoiding responsibility.

    My God! I didn't think his attorney was ever going to shut up. Just when you thought the pain of listening to her was over she'd start up again. Both of the defense attorneys sucked!
  • @OCDTraci
    To ask the jury to disregard Andrea Bowlings' testimony was LOW. Defense attorneys truly are ruthless.
  • @marywright9338
    The defense lawyer the lady in my opinion is a as lousy a lawyer as there is.
  • @Pagewithpurpose
    Ha! Daniel Senior's defense attorney can't even pretend to believe the crap coming out of her own mouth.
  • @stevennonya8136
    Wow 😯 this is by far the worst defense lawyer I’ve ever seen!!! He is absolutely horrible!!! The female defense lawyer is equally as horrible!!
  • @MichelleJune67
    And in contrast these were the worst defense closing arguments..Jessica’s Atty was weird and strange and Daniels was boring and repetitive...
  • @pistolvixens
    The defense attorney backed up the prosecution very nicely lol
  • By putting defendants on the stand, the attorneys are going for a hail Mary in a hopeless case. They should have plead out.
  • @alireza7940
    The lady lawyer is such a potato. I think if she's my lawyer, I'd be sentenced to life in prison even if my allegations are stealing bubble gums.
  • @JenKelly
    Is the female defense attorney done nonsensically rambling and swaying yet? 🤤
  • @graciela922
    I applaud the prosecution and the crate she bright to court to get the jury’s attention she did a great job. Her pain is felt through her words.
  • She gets no sympathy for killing her infant son and then finally admitting that she did. She is a monster!

    10:20 “So it’s a choice between being with your child or being with your spouse. He chose to be with his spouse...I don’t know if that comes into your deliberations or not so take that for what it’s worth.” Daniel’s defense attorney intended to make this a positive note but if anything, it only highlighted the root problem here: Daniel chose his wife over Dylan every single day of his short life! This is exactly why Dylan is dead. Way to sell the jury on the prosecution’s case, lady!
  • @d.shereelife377
