Heres a taste of that. The defendant, guilty or not what . On what nearry . Near theory. So the reporter so that was repeated over and over again. Each member of the jury, all 12 much emthem, eight men, four women, had to stand up in court to say, guilty, first degree murder. The jury could have found him guilty of Second Degree murder. But it did not. It went first degree murder. Its a life sentence. On the over charges, a bit of a split have you had here. Not guilty on the aggravated rape in the woods but guilt on the aggravated rape in the bathroom. Guilty of Armed Robbery of Colleen Ritzers underwear. Why they split this up, but the bottom line here is that this jury, the Phillip Chism jury, rejected the insanity defense, finding Phillip Chism, who was only 14 years old at the time of this crime, guilty, first degree murder, for the death of Colleen Ritzer. When we talked earlier, you mentioned that the Surveillance Video was the key piece of evidence in this case. Break that down again for us. The reporter right. That Surveillance Video, that Surveillance Video system at Danvers High School had just been installed, the school was just opened, and that Surveillance Video showings Colleen Ritzer, Phillip Chism in the moments before the attack in the bathroom and Phillip Chisms actions, a good hour after the bathroom, watch the attack after the attack in the bathroom, leaving the bathroom, running in other other people, he had blood on his hand and clothes at one point. Retrieving the recycling bin from the first floor, wheeling going back in to that bathroom. Coming back out a couple of minutes later with a mask on, leaving the school, going outside, outside of Danvers High School, pulling that recycling bin. Colleen ritzers body inside the recycling bin and we last see him with the recycling bin going into the woods, but its not the last time we see Phillip Chism. He is picked up on surveillance again, coming in to Danvers High School, change of clothes, going back into the bathroom, going to his locker. It is chilling video to watch, because what youre seeing is a first degree murder taking place. Youre watching a killer stalking his victim, and then disposing of the body. All of it caught on void. And the importance is, that the defense is trying to mount an insanity defense, trying to say that he had disorganized thinking, that he was in the middle of a psychotic episode. But what the prosecutor was able to point out that the video shows, that Phillip Chism he followed Colleen Ritzer, put on gloves before he went into the bathroom and then it showed all the other Video Evidence afterwards. The just a few believed what the prosecution said, what you see in that video is not disorganized thinking, but premeditated murder. Key piece of evidence. Vanessa bob, thank you so much. We will get more reaction from you coming up tonight at 6 00 p. M. And we want to continue our coverage now with malini basu. Mark malini, i was following along on your twitter feed. I understand rode in the elevate with Phillip Chisms mother read. The reporter thats right. We rode down the elevator together. I was also in the elevator, she did not want anything to do with any of us. She walked in, had her head down, we rode the elevator down. When we talked down stairs, she realized that yes, reporters were going to ask her questions, as we walked down side and walked side by side with each over and diane chism, phillip why im talking next to here, i dont want to sa w anything right now and walked right outside. This was five or ten minutes after the verdict was read. We all got in the elevator together. The state Police Detectives and the local detectives were discussing what happened, and thats when everyone just kind of looked up and they were all shocked, because she actually got on the elevator and there were supporters with her as well, three or four of her friends with her hand they decided not to get on that elevator and waited for the next elevator, so diane chism, when she rode down the elevator, saw her friends and immediately put their arms around her and walked right out. Were trying to get some sound with her to Say Something and she didnt want to say anything. She had nothing to say, she alone. But with we were talking down stairs, she basically said, i dont want to say anything. Why am i walking next to her, so of course outside, we tried to talk to her, i tried to get in front of her hand she didnt want to say anything to us. Ill send things back to you guys. Vanessa malini, thank you. The chism case dates back to october of 2013. In a timeline, detailed by prosecutors, chism met with Colleen Ritzer after school ended for the day, on october 22. He then followed her to the bathroom, where Colleen Ritzer was murdered. Weve seen that video. Now, chism was reported missing by his mother, that staple night. Then a short time late of, Colleen Ritzer was reported missing. Vanessa chism was tracked down by police around 12 30 a. M. The following day. Colleen ritzers body was found several hours later after chism was questioned by officers. And proving insanity has proven difficult in massachusetts. Other teen killers have been found guilty after arguing they were insane at the time of the killings they committed. Mark nate of whalen killed his girlfriend in 2011. He claimed mental illness, and jurors did not buy it as well vanessa a special needs student it was argued was inassault and battery when he killed vanessa lets bring in our legal analyst, brad bailey. Mark weve been talking about the insanity defense. How hard is it to prove Something Like that, brad . The reporter its extremely difficult, blair, even though massachusetts is one of the more favorable states given both the fact that the burden, once its put in play, is on the commonwealth to prove that somebody was sane, and given that we have a little bit of a more expansive definition of insanity in massachusetts, which we call lack of criminal responsibility, but its still incredibly difficult and there are a number of factors. Number one is, the cases where the insanity defenses are raised are often very gruesome, very horrific fact patterns, that it is extremely difficult for a jury to want to give somebody consider a break, or to think that somebody might have the possibility of sort of fooling doctors and getting let out, even though tears a long process and protocol that is involved, if somebody is found not criminally responsible. You also have these battles of experts, in insanity cases that often just come out to be a wash at the end of the day. The defense says one thing, the prosecutions expertization something else. But at the end, its really almost always up to the jury to determine, and thats why evidence such as these surveillance tapes is was so important in this particular case, and so powerful, but more than anything, for the most part, when you put on an insanity defense, you are not contesting the actual act itself, that your client did that. Youre saying my client did do that brings you a lot closer to a guilty verdict right out of the box, and its very difficult sometimes for a jury, once theyve gotten their head around accepting that this person did that, to come back with anything other than a guilty verdict. It has happened. Weve had it in several cases, there was a 2009 case, blair in massachusetts, where a woman was accused of killing both of her children, she was found lying next to one of them, who was already in a state of initial decomposition, those facts would determine to clearly suggest mind. There was another case in 2013 of a woman who action asphyxiated her child with a charcoal grill and tried to kill herself and i they find a mother killing a child, can somehow get a preliminary better sense of it, but its very difficult and some of those cases. I dont mean to interrupt, but quickly, were you surprised about the not guilty verdict on the one aggravated rape charge. The reporter no, blair, and i dont think that that indicates a split verdict. I think its a straight analysis of the evidence and the jury found that ms. Ritzer was likely deceased, and there had been an un there had been a break in the chain, it wasnt a consecutive continuous act, that at the time that that was committed, so i think that was just a straight analysis of the evidence. Vanessa legal analyst brad bailey, thank you so much for your insight. The family of Colleen Ritzer recently updated her pro file on a facebook page.
