For starters, the defense attorney’s contradictions are LAUGHABLE. I can only hope the jury sees right through them. At the beginning, the defense was all about: "Poor Blaise just had no idea... Jade was sleeping with other men and didn't know who the father was, so she just picked him." Now, the story has shifted to: "Blaise is free to date and sleep with whoever he wants because they weren't exclusive." So, he gets a pass for his h*e behavior, but Jade is expected to be pure as snow. Ew, it's giving red pill.

What disturbed me most, even from a pro psych perspective, was that text exchange where Blaise gives Jade a "moral lecture" on responsibility. This dynamic didn't make him look like he was "keeping it real". It made him look cowardly as he attempted to manipulate her stance. This is grooming 101. By shooting down her excitement about traveling with him and remaining stone-cold, he was training her to stop asking rather than being honest about his feelings for her. We’ve seen this pattern before... much like the stone-cold text exchanges Chris Watts used with his wife. These behaviors aren't random. They are HUGE red flags. Psychological games are often subtle, and the only thing Jade MAY have done wrong was wanting the relationship so bad to overlook signs that should have been major warnings regarding her safety. This "responsibility" act is just a performance and was means to an end for him.

It is a terrible look for a defense attorney to try & pedestal their client above the victim. That shady side dig, "Men who are about their business want women who are about their business," was insulting to the victim and her family. No woman who is about her business wants a serial impregnator who brings this much drama into their life. He is not a prize, and even setting aside the heinous nature of these charges, he’s barely a 5 on his best day. Calm down, and PLEASE stop gassing this dude up like he's a "catch".

What did you all think of the closing arguments? What are your predictions for the verdict?

Is it just me or is everyone alive connected to this case seem ANNOYING?!

The judge, the prosecutor, the defendant, the defense attorney and Jade's friends who felt the need to play Scooby-Doo with the hospital gloves and mess around her apartment that was an active crime scene??? I am so stressed that this dude is going to walk or get a mistrial because of one/more of these factors and Jade and baby Ivy won't get the justice they deserve.

Pregnant women do not just randomly die from a cocaine overdose. That defense attorney even trying to proposition that in opening statements is INSULTING. When the facts align that this girl did not even touch alcohol (obviously) during their paint & sip date. Oh, so she won't touch alcohol, but she will spike her drink with coke??? Are you serious?

I'm very concerned her friends will kill the case by touching her stuff after the fact. It's delivering a lot of opportunity for a jury to see reasonable doubt that shouldn't even be there. "Were you there to help or cover something up?!" People if you're ever in a situation like this, you call the police and let them handle it. Do not take justice in your own hands. SMH. For this very reason. You are not a cop or a CSI technician.

I do feel like this guy has a heck of a good guy facade going on and the only thing that truly makes sense is that HE poisoned her because he didn't want to be a father. He made that clear to her before, which I'm sorry ladies, once you're away from that - stay away!!!! These men can be dangerous out here when it comes to child support and reputation damage. However, I am pissed that the defense brought the 2 baby daddy theory up and she made a choice to go with Blaise as the father. FFS - would you poison a child that you didn't know was yours? NO. He knew, he felt it was real, and this is a convenient cop-out.

This is why I can't stand trials taking so long after the point of arrest because you give these diabolical people more time to spin up crazy narratives to pass along as fact. JADE AND IVY are the only victims in this case. No one else. This whole entire group of people need to come to terms with that.
