Neil Entwistle Case ~ General Discussion
I looked for an old thread on this, but for some reason it didn't come up.
I know we had one ...
The trial appears to be set to begin in the not too distant future.
The prosecution can prove that after he shot his wife and baby daughter
with a gun he stole from his father in law, he drove 50 miles and gained entry to the in-laws home and returned the gun. Blow back of blood and tissue inside the barrel of the gun seems to be the Prosecutor's most powerful piece of evidence.
Entwistle at this point, is pleading Not Guilty

I hope Court TV carries the trial - cameras allowed in Massachussets Courts?
Anything to get away from this God forsaken Holloway case.
Entwistle murder hearing starts
2 hours ago June 2, 2008
Briton Neil Entwistle is appearing in a US court charged with murdering his American wife and baby.
The first few days of the hearing are expected to be taken up with legal arguments and jury selection.
Entwistle is charged with shooting dead his 27-year-old American wife Rachel and their nine-month-old daughter Lillian Rose at their Hopkinton home in Massachusetts on January 20 2006.
Entwistle arrived at the Middlesex Superior Court behind the darkened windows of the middle vehicle of a three-car convoy. Two helicopters circled overhead as the convoy reversed into the court compound.
Up to 150 potential jurors will begin the selection process in front of judge Diane Kottmyer at the court in Woburn, Massachusetts, ahead of the trial, which is expected to last at least three weeks.
Entwistle, a 29-year-old former IT worker originally from Worksop, Nottinghamshire, denies two counts of murder and related gun charges - carrying a firearm without a licence and possession of a firearm without a federal ID card.
Prosecutors believe Entwistle shot and killed his wife and daughter in the house they were renting in Hopkinton before fleeing the US for his parents' home in Worksop the following morning.
He entered not guilty pleas at Framingham District Court in February 2006.
According to court papers, prosecutors believe Entwistle ran up debts of tens of thousands of pounds before the murders, his internet businesses had failed and he had no visible means of support.
He also allegedly searched the internet for information on how to kill people and commit suicide days before his wife and daughter were shot.

Brits: Odds against Entwistle
WORKSOP, England - Neighbors and friends of accused double-killer Neil Entwistle are rallying to his defense 3,000 miles away, charging he’ll never get a fair trial from an American judicial system and media that has already turned him into a monster.
Residents in this gritty former mining town have closed ranks over what they believe is a rush to judgment.
“He won’t get a fair trial because he is an Englishman who has killed two American citizens, allegedly. Everything is stacked against him,” said Worksop builder Wayne Marshall, 46.
Entwistle is charged with the Jan. 20, 2006, murders of his wife, Rachel, 27, and their 9-month-old baby, Lillian Rose in their Hopkinton home. His trial gets underway today in Middlesex Superior Court with jury selection.
But neighbors near Entwistle’s family home on Coleridge Road say the 29-year-old has to fight even harder to prove his innocence in the United States.
“We wonder what’s going to happen to him,” said Phil Walton, 60. “It seems people are guilty until proven innocent over there.”
His father Alan Walton, 85, agreed. “I just don’t know what to make of it. People who knew the lad say he was a good lad, but he seems to have been portrayed as a monster over there.”
Steve Stodge Wilcox, 43, landlord of The Horseshoe pub, less than half-mile away from the Entwistle home, said he believes Entwistle has been demonized in the U.S. media.
“We don’t really know all the facts about what happened yet, so we should wait and see what happens,” he said. “But I doubt he’ll get a fair trial, because he is a Brit and there doesn’t seem to be anyone else in the frame for it.”
Those close to the Entwistles declined to discuss the high-profile case, but Worksop Member of Parliament John Mann’s office said the community showed their wholehearted support for the family by helping Neil’s father,Clifford, retain his Bassetlaw District Council seat by a landslide.
“Councilor Entwistle stood at the last election and won a resounding victory in 2007. It was the community’s opportunity to show their support and they did that,” said Jo White, press secretary for Mann.
Entwistle beat his independent opponent 953 to 692 to retain his Worksop East seat.
Town center news agent Laura Dosanjh, 31, said the trial has only just hit the headlines after two years of media silence in Worksop.
“Now it’s back in the headlines. It is such a big case. It sickens me, really, because it gives Worksop a bad name all over the world,” she said.
Local weekly newspaper the Worksop Guardian declined to commentdirectly, but printedfive pages of pretrial coverage yesterday.
The paper said the eyes of the world will be on the case as it reprinted the only statement by Entwistle’s parents, Clifford and Yvonne: “Our Neil is innocent, totally 100 percent.”
The Entwistle family could not be reached for comment.

First day of jury selection yields 8 possible jurors
WOBURN - Several potential jurors were excused Monday from serving on a British man's double murder trial, with many saying they know about the case from intense media coverage and would have a hard time being fair.
Neil Entwistle, 29, is accused of killing his wife, Rachel, 27, and daughter, Lillian Rose, 9 months, on Jan. 20, 2006, in the Hopkinton home they rented.
Monday, on the first day of trial, his lawyer, Elliot Weinstein, asked Judge Diane Kottmyer to reconsider her ruling on his request to dismiss the charges or to change the location of the trial. He had made the same request at a hearing on Friday.
She denied his request, and then denied his motion to have Kottmyer ask jurors how they feel about those who use the Internet to visit Web sites that focus on sex.
During a recess, Weinstein complained that the judge is hindering his ability to pick an impartial jury by not allowing him to question potential jurors about what they know about the case through news reports.
"Our concern here is that the questioning that the judge is doing is designed not to elicit the jurors' attitudes, but to foreclose the jurors from articulating their attitudes, and that's a problem,'' Weinstein said.
The judge questioned 41 people, of whom only eight have been named qualified jurors. That does not mean they have been named to the jury. Kottmyer will have to name 16 qualified jurors. Those 16 will then be seated in the courtroom, but both prosecutor Michael Fabbri and Weinstein can each disqualify 16 jurors without cause.
Jury selection will continue until there are 16 unchallenged jurors. Lawyers can also challenge as many as they want with cause, and Kottmyer rules on each of those challenges.
Of those deemed qualified, five are men and three are women.
Many of those excused Monday said they did not have the time to serve or that serving would be an extreme burden, such as being hurt financially by sitting on a trial expected to last at least three weeks.
Others were dismissed for various reasons. One man was excused because he interned with the Middlesex District Attorney's office's victim/witness advocate department. Another man was excused because he said he believes police officers are more trustworthy than average people. However, several people said they have followed the case through the news, or have heard about the case recently. Some said they did not feel they could be fair in deciding Entwistle's guilt or innocence.
"The case has so much notoriety, I think a lot of people knew what was going on when they saw the news media,'' one juror said.
The 165 potential jurors Monday were given a nine-page questionnaire containing 27 questions. Jurors who were not questioned or excused Monday have to return Tuesday. Jury selection is expected to last at least another two days.
The list of 164 potential witnesses was also made public. The list encompasses both the prosecution and defense, although the district attorney's office had previously said it plans on calling 50 to 60 witnesses.
Among those on the list are Rachel Entwistle's mother, Priscilla Matterazzo, her stepfather, Joe Matterazzo, and her brother, Jerome Souza. Also on the list are several Massachusetts State Police troopers, state chemists and Hopkinton Police officers.
Kim Puig, owner of the 6 Cubs Path home, where the murders occurred, is also a potential witness. Twenty-nine witnesses are from England. Among the British witnesses is Yvonne Brennan, the head teacher at the St. Augustine's High School, where Rachel Entwistle used to teach.
Entwistle is facing life in prison without the chance of parole if convicted. He is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, illegal possession of a firearm and illegal possession of ammunition.
Authorities say Entwistle murdered his wife and daughter with a gun he stole from his wife's parents' Carver home and then returned the gun to the house before fleeing to England.
Prosecutors allege Entwistle killed his wife and daughter to hide a life of mounting debt, online business scams and dissatisfaction with his sex life.
Entwistle is being held without bail at the Middlesex Jail in Cambridge.

British man goes on trial in slayings of wife, baby
Neil Entwistle, accused of killing his wife and baby girl, walks into court last week for a pretrial hearing.
Story Highlights
Neil Entwistle allegedly shot wife, child and returned to his native England
Defense complains judge won't ask jurors about opinions of Internet sex sites
Authorities say Entwistle was troubled by mounting debt and dull love life
Entwistle has said he discovered the bodies and fled in horror
WOBURN, Massachusetts (AP) -- The young woman and her baby girl were snuggled together in bed, the infant nestled in her mother's arms, tucked under a thick comforter in the master bedroom of their home outside Boston.
Both had been shot. The woman's husband and the baby's father, Neil Entwistle, a computer programmer from England, was gone.
Prosecutors and defense lawyers began weeding through potential jurors Monday as Entwistle went on trial on two counts of first-degree murder.
By the end of the day, Entwistle's lawyer was complaining that the judge is hurting the defense's ability to pick an impartial jury by not allowing them to ask jurors how they feel about Entwistle's use of Internet sex sites.
Elliot Weinstein also said that Judge Diane Kottmyer is not allowing the defense to fully probe potential jurors about what they've read and heard about the case in news reports.
Authorities say Entwistle fired two .22-caliber bullets into his wife, Rachel, and 9-month-old daughter, Lillian Rose, then fled to his family's home in Worksop, England, because he was despondent over mounting debt and dissatisfied with his sex life.
In the days before the killings, authorities say, he conducted online searches for information about murder and suicide.
Entwistle, 27, insists he loved his family and was so horrified at finding them slain that he returned to England to be with his parents. He said he didn't call for help because it was obvious they were dead.
Entwistle's attorneys have proclaimed his innocence, but have not given any hint of their trial strategy. Attorney Elliot Weinstein has repeatedly said he is concerned that Entwistle cannot receive a fair trial because of the extensive media coverage. On Friday, the judge denied a request to move the trial.
Entwistle and Rachel Souza met in 1999 at Britain's University of York, where she was spending a year abroad. They married in 2003 and lived in England for two years before moving to Carver, Mass., a small town about 40 miles south of Boston, in summer 2005 to live with her mother and stepfather.
Her family told police they never saw any signs of trouble, except for one argument over money they overheard in the fall of 2005.
Entwistle told police his marriage was "perfect," they did not fight and never had any "cross words."
Prosecutors, however, said Entwistle was unable to find a job after the family moved to the United States, and charged large amounts on credit cards. He started a number of Internet businesses, including a Web site that promised customers as much as $6,000 in monthly earnings and another that offered a manual to help men enlarge their penises. All of them failed.
Entwistle also started expressing unhappiness about his sex life, investigators said.
Searches of his computer showed that, beginning in August 2005, he joined a Web site called "Adult Friend Finder." In the week before the killings, he allegedly visited Web sites called "blondebeautyescorts" and "naughtynightlifeescorts." After he'd returned to England, he tore a page from a London tabloid containing hundreds of ads from women "providing a variety of escort and sexual services," according to court documents filed by prosecutors.
Although financial pressures were mounting, the family had moved out of Rachel Entwhistle's mother's house into a $2,700-per-month rented house in Hopkinton, in Boston's southwest suburbs. Just 10 days later, Rachel and Lillian were dead.
Entwistle told state police that on the day of the killings he told his wife he had a job interview, but the interview did not work out so he went shopping for computer parts. Prosecutors said there was no job interview.
Entwistle said he discovered his wife and daughter dead when he returned home two hours later. He said he was so distraught that he got a knife from the kitchen to kill himself, but couldn't go through with it because he "knew it would hurt," according to prosecutors.
Prosecutors say that after his wife and child were shot, Entwistle drove 50 miles to his in-laws' house in Carver and returned a .22-caliber handgun he had taken earlier from his father-in-law's gun case. Entwistle's DNA was found on the grip of the gun and DNA matching Rachel was found on the muzzle, court documents say.
Authorities found Entwistle's car at Boston's Logan International Airport. Entwistle bought a one-way ticket to England and boarded the flight an hour later with no luggage.
Police found the bodies two days later after being called by concerned relatives.
Rachel Entwistle's mother, stepfather and brother plan to be in court every day, said Joseph Flaherty, a family spokesman.
"They go into the process with great faith that there will be justice for Rachel and Lillian," Flaherty said.

COURTROOM UPDATES: 6/3/08
posted at 1:40 p.m.: The judge has now qualified 17 potential jurors, and will continue to question jurors throughout the afternoon.
Neil Entwistle's lawyer, Elliot Weinstein, still expresses displeasure with how Judge Diane Kottmyer is questioning jurors, given how many people say they know details of the case.
He also said Entwistle's family is expected to remain in the country for the duration of the trial.
Weinstein said the case has been hard on Entwistle's parents, Yvonne and Clifford, because their son is charged in the case and "they lost a daughter and a granddaughter."

Heli I just read that they will "cover" the trial, but that sounds like it won't be televised. BTW, it's not CourtTV anymore, it's "TruTV"... 
Beth Karas has been in court already.
If you go to the link I gave in the last post, though, that is where you'll get live feed of the trial.

Oh Lord. When they "cover" a trial they get soooo many facts wrong. Beth Karas is reliable in her reports. During the Peterson trial, many times one had to ask if they were following the same case as we were following by reading the actual court transcripts because the reporting was so tainted.

Notes from MA v Entwistle jury selection
Posted: 02:11 PM ET
WOBURN, Massachusetts – Neil Entwistle’s parents, Clifford and Yvonne, and his brother, Russell, are in court today. They are seated in the first row of the public gallery, directly behind the defense table.
Neil Entwistle smiled at them when he came into court this morning. He sits, again, to the far right of the defense table in a dark suit and pink shirt. The defense team brought the freshly-laundered shirt into court this morning and had it delivered to Entwistle in his holding cell. Defense attorney Elliot Weinstein passed on my request to meet the Entwistles; they declined “at this time.”
As I watch jury selection, author and radio host Michelle McPhee is sitting next to me. I happen to be reading (though not in court) her book about the Entwistle case, “Heartless.”
As of the lunch break, nine men and eight women have been qualified to sit as jurors. Excused jurors include a man whose wife was also summoned to jury service in this case and is among the eight women qualified thus far. Another has a friend who knew Rachel Entwistle. A third said he would hold it against Entwistle if he didn’t testify at the trial.
The attorneys are expected to begin exercising peremptory challenges tomorrow. Each side has 16 of them. Opening statements and testimony from the first witnesses could happen by Thursday.

By Jonathan Saltzman, Globe Staff | January 4, 2007
Neil Entwistle will spend at least two more weeks at Bridgewater State Hospital as the man accused of murdering his wife and infant daughter a year ago undergoes a mental health evaluation to determine whether he is suicidal, according to Middlesex County Sheriff James V. DiPaola .
Entwistle, 28, was transferred from Middlesex County Jail to the hospital Dec. 21, the day after two guards spotted a letter in his cell that alarmed them, DiPaola said yesterday. Writing to his parents in Worksop, England, the British-born Entwistle said it might be his last letter to them and that he had nothing to live for. He also wrote that if he died, he wanted to be cremated and have his ashes sprinkled over the graves of his wife, Rachel, and his daughter, Lillian.
"He never actually threatens to kill himself, but there's telltale signs of depression," said DiPaola.
The guards discovered the letter the day after Middlesex Superior Court Judge Peter M. Lauriat denied a request by Entwistle to be freed from jail and allowed to return to England until he went on trial in the gunshot slayings.
DiPaola said it is not uncommon for detainees to show signs of depression, particularly around the holidays. Of the 380 detainees in his custody yesterday, he said, 21, including Entwistle, were at Bridgewater for evaluation of possible mental illness or for treatment. DiPaola said Entwistle has never attempted suicide at the jail.
After Entwistle spends 30 days at the hospital run by the state Department of Correction, the medical staff will tell the court whether he can be returned to the jail or needs further treatment, DiPaola said. Entwistle could be committed for an additional six months, based on an assessment by medical staff and approval of the court.
Entwistle's next court appearance is Jan. 26, by which time he will have completed his 30-day evaluation, the sheriff said. His trial is tentatively set for Oct. 1.
Entwistle's lawyer, Elliot M. Weinstein , did not return several phone calls yesterday.
Joseph Flaherty, a lawyer and retired commander of a State Police homicide unit who is a spokesman for Rachel Entwistle's mother and stepfather, Priscilla and Joseph Matterazzo , said the family had no comment.
Entwistle has been held in the jail since Feb. 15, when he was extradited after his arrest a week earlier in a London subway station in connection with the slayings in his Hopkinton home on Jan. 20.
Prosecutors theorize that Entwistle, an unemployed electrical engineer, had planned a murder-suicide , but decided against killing himself.

COURTROOM UPDATES - 6/4/08
posted at 1:26 p.m.: Neil Entwistle's lawyer said comments by jurors such as "fry him" prove that a fair trial is impossible.
Elliot Weinstein addressed the media after Judge Diane Kottmyer called for the lunch break.
"There is no possibility - no possibility at all - Neil Entwistle can get a fair trial," Weinstein said.
Weinstein also said the overheard comments of "fry him" and "send him away" from one juror and another juror overhearing others say "that's the guy who killed his family" are proof the jury is biased.
He also said Kottmyer should have allowed his motion to question other potential jurors about those comments.
posted at 12:30 p.m.: A potential juror told Judge Diane Kottmyer that other potential jurors said "fry him," and "send him away" while waiting in line before the start of the Neil Entwistle trial on Monday.
Lawyer Elliot Weinstein immediately moved for the suspension of the jury selection process because there "is an impermissably infected pool of jurors."
Kottmyer denied the motion.

This is becoming a bigger problem as the media tends to try the cases long before they ever get inside a court room. Im not sure where they could even move the trial to get an impartial jury at this point.

Thanks, Fash and Heli and Savannah and Kay. Looks like RU will have super coverage of this trial.
I know very little about this case, but he certainly behaved strangely: replacing his father-in-law's gun, the one-way ticket to the UK, etc., but he looks like such a nice young man.

Ditto that, thanks Fash.
I hope to get re-interested in this case. When it first happened I was very into it......such a long time between the crime and the trial though, is hard. I'll have to catch up on my reading.
I think there will be quite a bit of interest on here!

Ted Bundy was a handsome, charming fellow as well.
Court TV will be covering this case and I'll be recording it.
I'll transcribe some of the proceedings - key witnesses or any portions
any of you want to request (within reason)
