Middlesex District Attorney Gerry Leone, members of the Middlesex County prosecution team, and family and friends of Rachel and Lillian Entwistle will hold a press conference today at 4:15 to discuss today's Entwistle verdict in the case of Commonwealth vs. Neil Entwistle
Updated3!
Jury Clock, 11:12:24 and stopped!
Intrepid says: What was the adage about jury deliberations usually lasting as many hours as there were days of testimony? Was it one hour for one day? I think I remember that correctly.
If that's correct, then there should be a verdict some time mid-afternoon. That's what I'm shooting for.
Another update, now the verdict!
Good God! Neil is smiling as he enters the courtroom!
Murder first degree… guilty
Murder first degree… guilty
Weapon… guilty
Ammo… guilty
2nd update!!
Sprocket here: Donchais is on pins and needles waiting for the verdict.
I think it's guilty on first.
Neil comes into the room with a slight smile on his face.
It's like he is having a hard time keeping from smiling. He purses his lips together. Yep. He is having a hard time keeping from smiling!
Entwistles eyes wander around the room.
Guilty of Murder of first degree of Rachael Entwistle.
Guilty of Murder of first degree of Lillian Entwistle.
Guilty of poessing a firearm.
Guilty of poessing amunition.
So say you foreperson.
Yes.
So say you members of the jury.
Yes.
Even with the verdict read, that same expression, trying not to smile. Hie eyes still wander. OMG! Look at his mother.
Sentencing tomorrow at 10 am.

#1 Neil Entwistle
With the comments of Neil's parents, you can tell where he learned to lie. Sadly, his parents are in denial that their own flesh and blood is a cold-blooded killer..
#2 Not guilty
I do not think Neil Entwistle is guilty!
What evidence did they have that Neil did it?
Because he left the family, left the country?? Because he looked at porn?
I believe there is a lot we do not know.
Was Rachel involved in porn video?
Was Rachel depressed, post partum depression?
Could Rachel have seen that Neil was working on having relations with other American women?
Who really looked up on the internet how to kill yourself with a knife?
Who are we to say what we would do if we'd found our loved ones dead?
Was someone else involved i.e. a family member who may have had strong feelings for Rachel? What family member visited Rachel the most? Why so often??
Isn't it curios that Joe and his son were cleaning their guns, including the murder weapon, the day Priscilla had been down to Rachel's and wasn't able to get into the house?
She was deeply worried about her friend, enough to stay in a car on a January night waiting for Rachel to come home.
What did Rachel's fried know about Rachel's relationship with Neil?
Why was there gun residue on Rachel's hands front and back??
I do not believe Neil killed Rachel.
#3 Not Guilty!!
I too, do not think Neil is guilty. Here are my arguing points...
Looking at porn and even searching for escorts does not mean you are capable of murder!!( my husband looks at porn!!....)
NOTHING is concrete evidence!!
YES, he could have wanted to flee the country after finding them. MY husband said in that situation he would have wanted to get away.Support from his parents etc.
I think there is ALOT of covering up and WHY did they let a long term friend of Joe Matarazzo be the attorney for them. Don't think they would EVER have allowed that in UK!! (Bound to be biased)
WHY are they SO convinced it was Neil who searched 'suicide' and ways to kill. He was an intelligent, university educated lad, surely he knew how someone kills!!!!!!
Also, he was an IT specialist, surely he would have deleted any trails on computer that could incriminate him......isn't that a natural thing that anyone would do??
In WHAY way is a water bottle removed from the car with YES, Neils DNA incroiminating evidence???? Yes, he had a bottle of water in the car, he must be a double murderer!!!!!!!
None of it makes any sense to me????
