Out for lunch break. Duggar’s defense team had 22 objections to the pre-sentence report so we have spent the entire morning hashing those out.

Some Judge Brooks has supported, others not. #NWANews #JoshDuggar
Defense first argued to the entirety of the offense conduct section in the PSR, maintaining #JoshDuggar’s innocence and try to their best to preserve their chances of appeal.

Overruled. Not specific enough, no more presumption of innocence since found guilty by jury
Defense tried to argue that while the children in the CSAM are victims, they are not victims of #Duggar because (again) they maintain his innocence.

Overruled. Not factual and (again) no more presumption of innocence.

Here's my break down of today's closing arguments in #JoshDuggar's trial. I had to sit in the overflow room for the first half of the day.

Judge Brooks started by reminding the jury to make a decision based on the facts and without sympathy or prejudice.
Here's what the prosecution had to prove to the jury beyond a reasonable doubt.

Please note that I use "child pornography" in this b/c that is the legal term used by Judge Brooks in court. I see and hear you all who say "child sexual abuse materials" is the better term.
The prosecution began by referring back to the defenses's opening arguments by asking: "Is this really a case of whodunnit?"

They argued the computer, family photo on the HP work computer, passwords and more all points back to #JoshDuggar

Best-selling evangelical books instruct women to give their husbands sex to deal with their husbands’ porn addictions.

If any reporters are working on stories about Josh Duggar, I’d love to give background on how wives in these communities are told his porn use is their fault.
We just conducted the largest survey ever done of evangelical women’s marital & sexual satisfaction for our new book The Great Sex Rescue. One of the things we were looking at was the teaching, “women should have frequent sex with their husbands to keep them from watching porn."
In November 2019, Focus on the Family, in their broadcast, said the reason men watch porn is that women aren’t having enough sex. Every Man’s Battle (the book series sold 4,000,000 copies) told women they were like a “merciful vial of methadone” for him when he’s quitting porn.
