Batul:

Good afternoon my name is Batul Almasri , I’m here with my co council Nicole and

Chris. It is my pleasure to represent Cayce Jones in this case. Your honor ladies and

gentlemen of the jury, today the people are charging Casey Jones with violations of

breaking into Kelly Morgan's home. Cayce Jones and Kelly Morgan have a past of

being in a relationship and as you may tell it didn’t end well, and one is still stuck on the

other which is why we are here today. Kelly Morgan assumes Casey jones is the

invader of her home due to her visuals and physical interaction with the intruder of her

home, she claims that the attacker has the same body type, and build as Casey Jones.

In fact many people may have the same body type as Casey jones. It doesn’t

technically give Kelly Morgan the reason to assume that it is Casey. Casey Jones and

Kelly Morgan have not seen each other since 2013, Casey Jones’s body type and

physical features can drastically change in a year since she could have been hitting the

gym. Now we have Casey Jones s/he is currently in a relationship with Jesse Knox; but
was broken up with in 2013 by her ex lover Kelly Morgan. Kelly Morgan claimed that

Casey jones was upset after the break up, but who isn’t upset after a breakup? Casey

Jones is currently in a long distance relationship with Jesse Knox who she met in

Alabama in December of 2013 which reveals she has moved on. S/he currently works

at a house world cleaning residency, while also being a Honorable discharged veteran.

She has two jobs one of which, the synagogue, she has worked at for 10 years, S/he

works from 9–5pm and is trusted with all the keys by all her coworkers. On the other

hand we have Kelly Morgan, who lives alone with her cat, worked until 7 pm the night of

the attack, and her house has been broken into before as she claims. It was a late

night at the Morgan house, she alleges that Cayce Jones was an intruder to her home.

I am here to justify Kayce Jones, as she is not the intruder Kelly Morgan claims Cayce

Jones to be. Kelly Morgan claims she has arrived home from work and after about

11;30 an intruder has entered her home. To clarify neighbors and police confirm this

happened earlier, around 10 to 10:30. At 10:20 to 10:27 Pm Jones was on a phone call;

she has been calling this number at the same time for the past year to make the long

distance relationship with Jesse Knox easier. Morgan claims that Cayce wasn’t on a

call but in her house at this time. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury this case is about a

past lover who claims Cayce Jones broke into her home. Ladies and gentlemen of the

jury, we will call Cayce Jones up to the stand to explain the call she had while this

intrusion was occurring. We will call Dr.Pat up as a witness to explain the marks from

the alleged taser attack. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, “Beyond a reasonable

doubt” this simply means there isn’t a valid reason why the people may think Cayce

Jones broke into the home of Kelly Morgan, and if you think even a little that Cayce
wasn’t present at the time of the robbery then you have doubt. At the end of the trial

you are going to need to ask yourself two questions. Cayce jones had called Jesse

Knox from 10:20 to 10:27 the same night of the attack on Kayce Morgans home, Graber

claims that he saw Kelly Morgan’s Car driving at 10:30 heading north; how can the

attacker have a call with his girlfriend ending at around 10;30 and be at Kelly Morgan’s

home at 10;30 when they live 10 minutes away from each other. If Kayce Jones claims

her injuries were due to shocks to her skin by her attacker but Dr.pat, a board certified

dermatologist claims that this is not a shock but an outbreak of some sort of skin

condition? Why would Kelly Morgan diagnose her marks to a taser, if a board certified

dermatologist doesn't? Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, Kelly Morgan claims she let

her cat out while the attack was occurring, the neighbors of Kelly Morgan Berman

claimed he did not see anybody outside with Morgan, but he did hear something in the

woods. Couldn’t this simply be the Kellys cat that she claims to have let out right before

the attack:? Kelly Morgan also claims she saw the attacker after she took off his mask,

then why is she now saying only the body type is like Caseys? Now you will meet the

eyewitnesses Dr.pat. Dr.pat has been a board certified dermatologist since 1995. He

claims that Kelly Morgan's injuries are simply a skin condition, yes Kelly Morgan’s home

may have been invaded but not exactly how she claims the night to have occurred.

Next, you will see Kelly Morgan, the victim of this case, who claimed that Casey Jones

is the intruder of her home. Last we have Cayce Jones, the suspect of this case, claims

these are false accusations. Casey Jones explains the day of the intrusion to be a

relaxing calming day in her life that included calling h/er girlfriend around 8 Pm

showering and eating then calling her again at around 10;15 Pm to 10;30 pm as
scheduled. This is when the Intrusion was occurring, and when her neighbor claims

that Kelly Morgan’s car has been taken out of her driveway Ladies and gentlemen of

the jury, I hope all is well and you view Casey Jones as the non-guilty suspect and rule

on the side of the defense. It is my pleasure to support Cayce Jones during the case

“Jones v the People ''.

Nicole:

cross examination (Kelly Morgan):

● Good afternoon, restate your name for the jury
● How do you know the defendant?
● Please provide a specific timeline of your relationship
● What was the reason for separation?
● How long have you & Mr. Jones been separated?
● Ok 8 months so you think it's reasonable to believe Mr. Jones would act on a revenge plan that
long afterwards even though he has moved on?
● Did Mr. Jones give you any signs of aggression or harassment prior to this incident?
● Was there any jealousy - envy?
● Do you know they have been in a 8 month relationship at the time of the alleged attack?
● How did you feel when you found out about his new relationship with current girlfriend
Jesse Knox
● What exactly were you doing when you heard an intruder breaking into your home?
(she was in the bathroom and he allegedly attacked her)
● What exactly did you see in the intruders hands ( black taser stun gun)
● You originally didn't know what it was until the detective told you what it was correct?
● When he struck you with this weapon you stated and I quote “struck me all over my
upper body with a black object” but later when the detective was questioning you , you
stated it hit your lower back abdomen can you confirm this?
● Would you agree that you thought it was Casey only because of the body type and
smell?
● So why did you say you took off his mask and saw his face?
● And then Why did you say you only knew because you saw his stature and eyes
● You switched your statements throughout the case from quote “I knew it was kasey
because of her body size and smell” to you only knew because he and i quote “took off
the ski mask and saw it was casey” to you knew it was him because of his and i quote
“stature and eyes” So where you confused or in a panic or just lied with these different
statements?
● Would you say you were panicked?
● So If you were panicked and confused, your different statements are no longer reliable
since you were not in the right headspace right?
● Does Mr.Jones have any sort of criminal record or unlawful possession of
weapons that you as his ex long term partner knew about?
● Any possession of a taser or stun gun? (He is a discharged veteran)
● Do you have any allergies or skin conditions? ( Dr. Pat statement - yes she has
hives)

● After this incident you went to the hospital correct?

● Did the doctors find any marks that would indicate a shock wound or serious physical

wounds? (doctor said red marks could've been hives) - The evidence will show that the

defendant did not commit this crime.

● You said Casey hated driving your car because it was uncomfortable, correct?

● Why would he steal it then?

● You also stated that the time of the attack was 11:30 correct

● But your neighbors and the police say it happened from 10 to 10:30 so can you agree

that you may have been in such a panic that you were not focusing on the time?

● If you were in a panic you could say your recollection wasn’t as sharp, correct?
 ● So what you just said is you are an unreliable witness as your recollection is flawed.

● No further questions your honor, thank you

Cross examination (detective):

● Restate your name for the jury
● You are in charge of this case, correct?
● You state that you were present during all stages of the investigation, correct?
● In Kelly Morgan's affidavit, she states that the time of the robbery was at 11:30 but when
did you receive the call to go to the scene of the robbery? (if they don't know refresh
their memory saying “you stated it was at 11:08”)
● When you were interviewing Morgan she stated that she took off the person's mask,
correct? (If they say hearsay, argue that it's not because it’s part of his job to interview
and this will lead up to a follow up question.)
● But when you asked her again at a later time did she state the same thing? (answer is
no)
● In her affidavit and her interrogation she states several times that she only knew based
on his body type and smell so in your professional opinion can you be 100% sure of her
statement that she saw the robbers face?
● Explain where she told you she was tased. (if they don't know restate the question as:
“You said Morgan was tased in the back and abdomen several times correct?”)
● You later state that she claimed it was in the torso not upper body, doesn't this go back
on your own statement?
● And in Kelly Morgan's affidavit she states that she was tased in the upper body so tell
me why the photos you took of her were of her lower body?
● As someone who is an experienced detective, don’t you think you should have focused
on the relevant part of her body, the upper back and abdomen where she said she was
hit?
● You stated that you found nothing in the house disturbed correct?
● In your professional opinion would you agree that if this fight lasted long enough for Kelly
Morgan to clearly recognize the attackers body type, face, and scent wouldn’t there be
disturbance such as items pushed over in the house?
● Your honor can we pull up exhibit 4
● Point to where the injury is located
● This injury is located on the inside of the left hand correct
● Your honor can we pull up exhibit 5 now
● Point to where the hole in the glove is located?
● Do you agree the hole is located on the outside, not inside of where the hand would be?
● So can you with 100% certainty say that Casey Jones was injured in the same place as
where the glove states the injury would be?
● You stated you didn't do a follow up on Caseys claim about a chair causing the injury
correct?
● If you would have, the company confirms the deliverment of a chair to Caseys company.
 ● Did you find any other injuries on Casey that would imply she was in a physical
altercation?
● You asked /morgan to recount everything again a few days ater correct?
● Can you confirm that she switched her statement from she was fighting when she was
being tased to she was in a bear hug when she was being tased, as you stated in your
affidavit?
● Casey also switched some of her other statements as exhibited in your affidavit, correct?
● Casey allowed you to search his gun cabinet, did you find a taser?
● The neighbors confirmed that the area in which Kelly Morgan lives is popular in crime
and robberies. With your professional opinion could it be true that one of the thieves from
the other houses was the alleged attacker not Casey Morgan?
● No further questions your honor, thank you

Chris:

From what you all have witnessed today, I want to remind you the jury that Mr. Jones, is an

honorably discharged, hardworking veteran who has no criminal background and is well trusted

by his employers. The day of the alleged Invasion and assault, Casey went from work straight

home to watch Tv and eat ice cream. In this time, she also called her current long distance

girlfriend, Jesse knox. As my co-council pointed out, this call was during the time of the robbery

as even the call logs confirmed. Casey Jones told you all how not only has she moved on from

her past relationship with Kelly Morgan, but she also has current plans to marry her girlfriend of

7 months, Jesse Knox. Keep in mind how Jesse and Casey are long distance, and in order to stay

in touch and in love, they call each other in the morning as well as a few times at night. The

question you all should have asked yourselves is what was Casey doing at the time of the

robbery. And as my co-counsel, Nicole pointed out, Casey was on one of those routine phone

calls with her girlfriend during that time. The fact that Casey was making this call to her

girlfriend at the time of the crime is a strong confirmation of her innocence. It’s also crucial to

take into consideration that Casey is well trusted by her employers as they allow her to keep keys

to rooms and alarm codes to get into the building. Jury, please also remember how Casey got
injured in the first place. Casey was doing her job in unpacking and setting up a chair and in

doing so, her finger got pinched in between the chair causing the skin to break. This is not just a

claim but was supported by shipment reports. Furthermore, as Nicole highlighted, where the

injury and where the rip in the glove is located does not Align or match up, dismissing the

prosecution's biggest piece of evidence. Let us also keep in mind the crucial fact that the area in

which Mrs. Morgan Lives is similar to the south side of Chicago as the neighbors and herself

stated that they are familiar with several robberies happening fairly frequently. We have also

learned that the most important witness for the prosecution's side, Mrs. Morgan was switching up

her story several times, making her statements not just unreliable but confusing and ultimately

not reasonable to fully trust. To remind you all, Casey is being accused of violating two criminal

accounts, Home invasion and aggravated battery. This accusation is purely that, an accusation.

Although what happened to Mrs. Morgan is something no one should go through, anyone could

be at fault especially considering the frequent robberies that occur in her neighborhood. To

remind you al, there is no real evidence that it was Casey who committed the crime. With all of

this information, my co-council and I inform you that to charge Casey with these two counts is to

have zero doubts that Casey committed the crime of both home invasion and aggravated battery;

so if you think in the back of your head that even just maybe Casey was not at Mrs. Morgan's

house and therefore did not commit these crimes then you have those doubts. To recap, as

confirmed, Casey was on a phone call at the time of the robbery, Morgans neighborhood is an

unsafe and therefore frequent target of several robberies, and Kelly Morgan's story and memory

was not stable or reliable throughout her reports.Through this trial you have come to understand

all the answers to your questions and if your answer to those questions give you doubt that Casey

committed those crimes my co-council and I ask and encourage that you all think logically and
reasonably to see that Casey is not at fault for these two criminal violations; save this innocent

women from taking blame for a crime she did not commit and rule in the defense’s favor.
