I’m reporting from the @BentonCoAR Election Commission headquarters. The people at this table are checking absentee ballots. You still have about 2.5 hours left to vote! #NWANews@KNWAFOX24
They have it down to a science here at the Benton Co Election Commission!
As ballots come in from all 32 voting locations, they’ll be stacked up against the walls in this big warehouse! #Vote#NWANews@KNWAFOX24
Each box gets placed under its corresponding polling location sign here at the election commission sorting room. #NWANews@KNWAFOX24
All 32 the ballot boxes are in from day-of voting locations here in Benton County! #NWANews@KNWAFOX24
Unofficial numbers are in in Benton County and nearly 20% of the population cast their ballot. A spokesperson for the county says they normally see about 30%. #NWANews@KNWAFOX24

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
