Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/PSbCLrOzh58 Day 10 of the Brian Walshe Trial happened on December 12, 2025. An extraordinary and intense day focused on the Closing Arguments from both the Defense and the Prosecution. The Defense presented no case, relying on the Prosecution's burden of proof. We break down the argument that emphasized a "sudden unexpected event" rather than premeditated murder. Key points include the Google searches indicated a man in "disbelief and confusion," not a planned killer. The delay in the word "murder" appearing in searches (6 hours). Lack of evidence of a plan or intent to kill in the 1,000+ pages of digital data. The reservation deletion was framed as an effort to avoid violating probation, not to cover up murder. The prosecution wove together a narrative of premeditation, focusing on a timeline of receipts, video, and digital evidence. Key points include the irony of the deleted New Year's Day dinner reservation text from the defendant's supposedly "missing" phone. The significance of the defendant's phone being unlocked and plugged in while he claimed it was misplaced. The Google searches (e.g., "best way to dispose of a body," "can you be charged with murder without a body?") showing intent to hide the crime. The argument to the jury: do not let the defendant benefit from his "self-serving act of dismembering and disposing of Anna Walsh." Discussion with the judge about impounding (sealing) the victim impact statements from the children of Ana and Brian Walshe to protect their privacy interests, and the jury's decision to resume deliberations on Monday morning.

The testimony of Gem Mutlu, Ana’s former boss and family friend, led to numerous and forceful objections from the defense attorney, who argued that his use of terms like "marital issues" or "marital problems" was his own characterization or opinion, not the exact words Ana used. Hear the shocking details shared by Ana Walshe's bestfriend, Alissa Kirby, who recounts a conversation with Ana just days before her disappearance where Ana admitted she was "falling out of love" with Brian and felt she loved him "not as much anymore." Alissa also describes Ana as reaching a "breaking point" on December 29th, frustrated by the relationship, Brian's constant questioning of her love for him, and his possible attempts to delay his federal case.

The prosecution is using known DNA samples collected from Brian and Ana Walshe by the FBI back in 2018 for comparison with crime scene evidence. Most of the DNA from the tested items came back as a single source matching Ana Walshe. Some samples were identified as mixed sources containing DNA from both Ana and Brian Walshe. Details of Brian Walshe's rapid purchases of rugs, candles, towels, and bath mats at HomeGoods on January 2nd and 4th, and the revelation that he paid with gift cards from Ana’s no-receipt returns. It is important to prove premeditation and the possible lesser-included charges the jury may consider.

It brought forward crucial scientific and circumstantial evidence. In this Case Brief, we break down the shocking testimony that covered the Medical Examiner's testimony on preserved evidence—including blood-soaked hair, tissue, and carpet pieces—despite Ana Walshe’s body never being recovered. Plus, the debate over a recovered Gucci necklace toggle. Witness testimony from Ana Walshe's HR Director details her call with a "polite and calm" Brian Walshe after Ana was reported missing, and the crucial clue found outside her DC residence: a wet Nespresso delivery box. We break down the timeline of Brian Walshe's frantic purchases at Lowe's, including the hacksaw, buckets, and cleaning supplies, and his attempts to evade surveillance cameras. The defense focuses on the lack of blood evidence found in the master bedroom subfloor and the "natural causes" argument, while the prosecution highlights Brian Walshe’s Google searches on cleaning blood from a knife and the timing of his Band-Aid purchase. Was it a sudden death followed by a panic, or a premeditated murder? We discuss the jury's key task: deciding on the First-Degree Murder charge.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/HszTIRT5ZR4  Day 5 of the Brian Walshe Trial happened on December 5, 2025. A clunky but revealing cross-examination attempts to establish a timeline of Brian Walshe's texts, phone calls, and searches, including the 'plane crash' and 'Anna Walshe found dead' searches. We discuss the defense's strategy to characterize the searches as a sign of worry and to distance their context from any implication of premeditation, focusing on the time around Christmas Day. The jury hears for the first time that the MSP case officer assigned to the investigation was former Trooper Michael Proctor, and what that might mean for the defense's strategy. A look at the large tools (hacksaw, snips, hatchet, hammer) purchased at Lowe's and introduced in court, as well as the medical examiner's testimony regarding items recovered from the dumpster, including cut-up rug pieces with tissue and hair. The prosecution moves quickly through witnesses, and the court projects to be done with evidence in about 3 weeks.

Watch the full coverage of the live stream on The Emily D. Baker YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/EJzkF3oa7ao  Day 4 of the Brian Walshe Trial happened on December 4, 2025. Ana Walshe's paramour, William Fastow, takes the stand, confirming their intimate relationship and future plans. He reveals they planned to celebrate New Year's together on January 4th—the same day Brian Walshe reported Ana missing. Surveillance video is shown of a tall, dark-clothed figure driving Brian's Volvo SUV to an apartment complex dumpster, disposing of a bag, and immediately leaving. Cell phone data from Brian Walshe’s iPhone SE is presented, which lines up with the location of the dumpster seen in the video, as well as multiple other key locations (Lowe's, HomeGoods, and his mother's apartment complex where other evidence was seized). Evidence is shown of Brian's alarming Google searches from December 25th, including searches for William Fastow and the phrase "Anna Walshe found dead." William Fasto confirms that their mutual friend, Gem Mutlu (Ana's former boss, who was with the Walshes on New Year's Eve), introduced him to Ana.
