Matt Baker Trial LIVE

Thanks for those of you who told me about this…

I’m watching it now. It looks like both sides have finished presenting their evidence and now will present closing arguments after a break.

What I saw this morning was the prosecution showing their evidence in tapes, emails, etc. as exhibits. They showed emails where Matt and Kari write to each other when she is feeling really ill. She wrote that she felt worse than she had in a long time–that her hands were trembling and Matt replies back with an email offering to make her a chocolate milk shakes and then says, “Just kidding”. It’s bone chilling, if you read the transcript or saw what Vanessa Bulls said. Bulls testified that Matt talked about poisoning her with a shake, but after tasting it Kari wouldn’t drink it. This was two weeks prior to her death.

Another time, the prosecution reveals emails between Matt and Kari where he writes of having a good time the night before and Matt mentions something about getting “pills”. Kari asks him that the previous evening wasn’t good enough? My heart bleeds for Kari…

Both of these support (corroborate) the testimony of Vanessa Bulls and what she told the court. I wish I had tuned in to see her! I missed it.

Matt Baker is 1000 times more evil than I even saw on 20/20 and 48 Hours. I knew when I saw him there that he was creepy and complete untrustworthy, but I didn’t know the extent of his sickness. This man needs to be locked up for life!!

I think it will take me an hour for my stomach to settle. I almost had to put the garbage can on my lap as my stomach was so worked up just listening to the court and seeing Matt sitting there during the testimony as if he were an attorney himself: completely emotionless and detached.

Vanessa Bulls Testimony is Damning

/in /by

I haven’t found video of Vanessa Bulls testifying, but I have found a detailed description here. Vanessa details all the ways that Matt thought about killing Kari.

From the WacoTrib blog, and Bulls testimony:

(Baker) started talking about things he could do. He talked about putting something in milkshakes. He talked about making it look like she had hung herself. He talked about tampering with the brakes of her car. He talked about maybe doing a drive-by shooting,” Bulls says. Baker told her that he ordered “chloroform” Online and had looked for Ambien and roofies, or the date rape drug.

What do you think of Bulls testimony?

I think it is the nail on the coffin for Matt Baker, personally.

What I find so sad about Bulls testimony is that she knew Matt was intent on trying to kill his wife and she did nothing about it. That baffles me, but when people are young, they don’t ever believe they have really met someone crazy enough to do it. That’s the only thing I can think of…

And then to read that after the murder, when Bulls went to his house with her family to see if Matt was okay, that he winked at her, it is just chilling. If that doesn’t convince a jury, nothing will!

For those of you who have been reading my blog for some time, you will remember I discussed and reviewed the case of Matt and Kari Baker starting back in March of 2008, after it was profiled on ABC’s 20/20 and then again on 48 Hours. Click here to see some of my posts on this story (the first post is at the bottom).

The state of Texas has taken on the case and is now pursuing murder charges against Matt Baker. His trial starts today. His attorney asked for a change in venue, but was turned down by the trial judge. More info from the WacoTrib.com.
