BOWEN - You have sat patiently here over a week .... now your solemn duty to decide guilt or innocence of Thomas James Ward (he points to him.) For last hour, heard several others put on trial. State, prosecution, DAs Office, criticized. Told that for some reason theyre to be tried here today. Not what court told you in its instructions. One thing to decide, that is the guilt or innocence of that man right there (points to him,) Thomas Ward. All those disgtortions, criticizm of everybody in this case ... from time that man right there shot Anna Catherine McCoy, What people did to try to save her life, to investigate this case.

You heard attempt to put those people on trial, criticized. Thats not what judge told you with instrutions in this case. (Post photo on overhead.) This is the young woman whos life at 20, student ICC, soccer team, getting her educaiton. Full life ahead of her, promising life as tell by looking at her. Happy well adjusted, beautiful young woman. Had no right... did not deserve to have her life snuff out by that man there, Thomas Ward.

Judge said you took an oath to follow the law ... reach verdict in this case. The stae of MS despite what has been alluded to by defense counsel, state has every confidence you will do that. State of MS does not believ eyou wil shirk your duty, or compromise your oath. State of MS believes you will ... as have done hte past 6-7 days... listen carefully to evidence, consider it, dtermine fact, apply facts to law ... and in that manner return your verdict. When you do ... what you will do is decide among three choices that defendant is not guilty ....WHICH IS LUDICROUS ... or manslaughter by culpable negligence or of what state has proved to you ... that is he guilty of depraved heart murder.
