Mark Geragos and Matt Murphy Join: Defense Cross-Examination Strategy

At 1:41:00 · chapter starts 1:34:40

With Mark Geragos and Matt Murphy now on the panel, the focus shifts to the defense's actual courtroom strategy. Defense attorney Katherine Nestor's cross-examination of Officer Bagley established three damning security gaps: no magnetometers at the event, no drones monitoring the campus, and no law enforcement personnel on or assigned to the Losee Building roof where the shooter allegedly fired from. Geragos explains that for defense purposes — especially for conspiracy-minded observers — these gaps fit neatly into a narrative of an inside job or planned security failure, even if the defense never states that explicitly. He cautions that the prosecution should have been prepared for this line of questioning. Murphy says the defense is methodically checking boxes to preserve appellate grounds, including ineffective assistance of counsel claims, while simultaneously muddying the waters in public opinion ahead of jury selection. The full absence of any security on the rooftop is framed as the most striking fact to emerge from the morning's testimony.
