Ross Retrial Update 11:12 pm
Today’s result left both the defense and prosecution satisfied, but special prosecutor Rich Consiglio says more evidence should have been allowed in.
“If all the stuff that would’ve, could’ve come in, would’ve come in, they’d have hung that guy in the courtroom. Its that simple.”
Former district attorney and special prosecutor Rich Consiglio was not happy that certain evidence offered by the commonwealth was deemed inadmissible. He said that it would’ve sped up the trial big time.
“There would be a conviction within minutes. The amount of stuff that we are not allowed to put before a jury is unbelievable and this case is just a perfect example of it.

Tina Miller Investigation Update
The jury was charged this afternoon after closing arguments concluded. Now Paul Ross awaits the verdict.
Ross, who was sentenced to life in prison sixteen years ago for the murder of Tina Miller, was granted a retrial by a superior court a decade ago after they ruled he was not given a fair trial.
Today featured closing arguments from both sides of the aisle.
Defense attorney Thomas Dickey went first, repeatedly emphasizing that Miller’s apartment keys were missing, how her apartment was trashed to hide connections between her and killer, and how it made no sense for Ross to take them because he had no idea where she lived.

Paul Aaron Ross Retrial
Ross was originally convicted in 2005 for Tina Miller’s murder.
This month’s retrial is the result of a panel ruling that his defense team didn’t have enough time to establish their case.
Special prosecutor Rich Consiglio and defense attorney Thomas Dickey made their opening statements this morning.
The prosecution began calling people to the stand for testimony, beginning with a state trooper who took aerial photos of the area where the alleged crime was committed, and a boater who says they saw the body of Tina Miller, floating in the water at Canoe Creek State Park on June 26th 2004.
