I don't know who they are but briefly heard that McNeil according to the convicts had confessed to them. If the defense will cross exam them it will open a door took why they are convicted and the prosecutor can get it in that McNeil was in there for something different than just awaiting trial for this case.
That can be huge combined with the daughters who turned on him and also 2 lovers who testified for the prosecutor even though one was a hostile witness.
The mom of gypsy was a very good witness for the prosecutor.
I think jurors might have learned that all kids were to receive 1dollar according to the will and therefore may look that they are upset due to that but combined with all testimonies it begins to show a clear image he wanted to get rid of his wife to be with Gypsy and even the sex like images texted by Gypsy and. McNeil a day after his wife died indicated they didn't care about her being dead and/or shocked about the entire odeal and moving gypsy in as the solely interviewed nanny is making that even more clear.
It is all not direct evidence but very clear evidence of a man who is not just a good husband and a bad person as the defense wants him to be looked at.
We have seen Drew. Peterson and Scott Peterson and others been convicted without all the direct evidence after cheating and lying...
Many men and women cheat but killing or having someone dead is something different, especially with all the additional evidence, makes it a clear sign something different was going on.
Bentlebee,
Great info. I missed everything from Gypsy's mom but have seen clips and read her sister thinks Gypsy needs to be locked away for a very long time.
I know Gypsy was a "mom"..or gave birth to at least two children. I have no idea the ages or where those children are.
Today will have fellow Federal Convicts testifying. They are concerned for their safety so their names have not been released. There was even some discussion of whether they could safely be returned to the TexArcana Federal Prison.
The prosecution may end today and defense starting as early as tomorrow.
The convict that is testifying today already mentioned that McNeil was convicted of felony fraud so the jurors have heard that!
Even if they don't believe anything these convicts are saying they all stated that McNeil wasn't using a cane and could run and walk and never stated that he had cancer on his tow....that is major!
Because McNeil claims he couldn't lift his wife out of the tub due to his tow!

Awesome news!
I heard a Snipet from Convict #3 who said he told MacNeill that he had heard MacNeill had killed his wife. MacNeill told #3 no one would ever be able to prove it.
The look on MacNeill's face- wow I hope the jury saw him clench his jaw. Would love to be able to find a pic of that or vid.
His cross examination of Inmate #1 consists of dissecting his prison phone calls - and, frankly, there's nothing much on those calls to discredit him. And the defense attorney gets this look on his face like he.s having a "gotcha" moment. HAHAHA!
Maybe the surgery didn't come out the way he wanted?
Today on CNN they said he's been talking about killing his brother by drowning HIM in a bathtub when he caught him attempting suicide, AND trying to kill his mother when he was only 8. That does it -- I'm scratching him off my list of eligible widowers.

I agree. I thought the prosecutors sucked until I watched the defense lawyer. He's terrible. And what's w/ that scary looking blond (lawyer?) who sits next to MacNeill. She looks like she's had some bad plastic surgery.
I can't believe how boring this trial has been considering just how diabolical and nasty the defendant is. He makes Arias look like an amateur.
I appreciate them moving things along unlike Arias' lawyer Nurmi but these lawyers all seem so dispassionate and inconvenienced. The only one who seems ok is the younger prosecutor w/ the slicked back hair but even he can't wait to get back to his seat ASAP.
MSR, thanks for your posts (wow, this MacNeill guy is truly evil!) and sorry for your loss. I hope this guy gets the book thrown at him and never sees the light of day again.
That Poirier (sp?) guy and Inmate #1 seem to have given pretty damning testimony. Even though the jury won't know about the extent of Martin M's actions, I think they have enough. I know I would.
My guess is face lift b/c
a) he wanted her to have surgery so he could kill her w/ the help of drugs, and
b) since she was otherwise healthy, it's the only surgery he could probably come up w/ that would be plausible. Even that he pressured her a lot before she agreed.
She was a beautiful woman, and from all accounts a nice person. Such a shame about her hooking up w/ this evil guy.

Iluvcatnip,
Thank you!
I can't comment on anything today since I do know one of the witnesses.
Yes, I believe MacNeill is far more evil than people want to believe.
I've not watched but had a sense of the attorneys. They have to get this trial finished so MacNeill's trial of sexually abusing Alexis, AFTER, her mother's death starts in Dec.
That's probably all that is safe for me to post right now except I cried when I read who testified today. People MacNeill treated so horribly.....
Oh the one thing I'll write is I think UTAH COUNTY and Def. Atty. Spencer are all tired of going to court about MacNeill. Spencer has been representing him since 2007 on various charges.
Thanks for joining and reading this discussion.
