Taboo Photos Murder Trial
S1, EP12 "Exposing The Murder Plot"
The cross-examination began on the detective who interrogated Jade Janks after her stepfather, Tom Merriman, was found dead. The defense critiqued the police's work in this case, especially on how they seemed to zero in on the defendant. Next, the former girlfriend of an alleged fixer linked testified. The defense was intent on discrediting Brian Salomon who testified that Janks asked him to help her kill her stepfather.
S1, EP13 "DNA Evidence"
A DNA expert who worked on crime scene evidence testified for the state. Prosecutors wanted to prove that there was a physical link to the defendant found on the remains of her stepfather, who was in a pile of trash in a driveway. The jury's attention was shifted to this physical evidence that was analyzed in a crime lab. On the stand was a criminalist who examined crime scene evidence. Prosecutors wanted to eliminate any other suspects in this case.
S1, EP14 "Breaking Down The Incriminating Evidence"
Prosecutors tried to show that only Jade Janks had concocted and carried out the murder of her stepfather, Tom Merriman. On the stand was the criminalist who examined crime scene evidence for DNA. The Defense wanted to raise all possibilities about the DNA in this case. According to her attorney, this wasn't even a murder since the cause of death was an overdose. And, if it was a murder than more people should be implicated.
S1, EP15 "Hearing From The Criminalists"
Jurors heard more testimony from a criminalist who worked this case. Investigators say they found overwhelming DNA evidence that linked the defendant to the death of her stepdad, Tom Merriman. Next, another criminalist who examined evidence linked to Merriman's death explained to the jury how much of the defendant's DNA profile they uncovered. More likely than not was how DNA test results came back, claiming to show Jade Janks' involvement in her stepdad's death.
