Defense Witnesses TURN on Beauty Queen Murder Defendant

Video Description

The defense called three witnesses to help Trinity Poague. By the time the State finished cross-examining them, they may have hurt her instead. Jesse Whitaker testified she trusted Trinity to babysit her own children, including a newborn, for years with no issues. But the State got her to admit what she'd expect from any babysitter: call 911, report abuse, do everything in her power to protect a child. The standard Trinity allegedly failed to meet. Then came Trinity's college classmates. Megan Pitts lived directly across the hall from Trinity's dorm room. She heard JD crying that night, loud enough to wake her, until it "eventually stopped." But on cross-examination, Pitts revealed something damaging: JD cried every time he was around Trinity. He responded better to other people. And in a group setting in Trinity's own room, Pitts heard Trinity say she "didn't particularly like him." The feeling, Pitts confirmed, seemed mutual. Elanie Brow, another neighbor directly across the hall, heard JD crying on and off from 1 AM until around 6 AM. The one win for the defense: when the State asked if anything sounded abnormal about the crying that night, Brow said no. This baby cried often when he was there. Nothing that night sounded different. ⏰ KEY MOMENTS 01:19 - Jesse Whitaker takes the stand 03:39 - State cross: duty to protect a child 06:27 - Megan Pitts takes the stand 09:38 - "Baby crying... eventually stopped" 10:49 - "He cried every time" around Trinity 15:49 - "She didn't particularly like him" 18:12 - Elanie Brow takes the stand 20:13 - State cross: nothing sounded abnormal 📖 JUSTICE BREAKDOWN: https://x.com/J_I_A_P/status/1996840605876416583?s=20 CASE BACKGROUND REPORT: https://x.com/J_I_A_P/status/1995657408199221620?s=20 🎥 HOW WE COVER TRIALS Uninterrupted courtroom footage with live chat discussion.
