thank you everyone please have a seat if you are satisfied Beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant
00:00:21
caused the death of Lynn hearnen with the intent to kill you should find the defendant guilty of first-degree
00:00:27
intentional homicide if you are not So Satisfied you must find the defendant not
00:00:37
guilty Lyn hern's not here to tell you what went on we were dispatched to a suicide a female had located her friend
00:00:46
deceased in a residence it was immediately obvious that the decedent was there in a
00:00:51
recliner she has multiple medication bottles that are within Arms Reach she has multiple medications that are kind
00:00:58
of scattered on her carpet and this appears to be an unknown powdery substance left behind on a plate I
00:01:05
received a witness statement from Jesse from what I knew Jesse was the caretaker
00:01:10
of the individual Jesse kvy took care of Lynn during the last year of Lynn's Life
00:01:17
Jesse was like an adopted daughter to Lynn so Jesse and Lynn were very close Lynn was really sick and depressed Lynn
00:01:26
started suffering from health issues that were unexplained she was was going in and out of the hospital but doctors
00:01:32
couldn't figure out what it was that was ailing Lynn she was going to like doctor
00:01:38
after doctor and then she'd call me and say they can't find anything wrong with me the defense argued that Lynn wanted
00:01:46
to die by suicide because she was sick of being sick I remember hearing it from Jesse on the phone looks like Lynn you
00:01:53
know committed suicide when you heard your auntie Lenny died by Suicide did you believe that I
00:02:03
wasn't really sure at the time what to believe cuz you I just couldn't see her you know ending her own
00:02:10
life she wants to die she doesn't like life the speculation at the time on law enforcement's behalf was that this was
00:02:22
clearly a suicide you received information from the medical examiner did that cause the Sheriff's Office to
00:02:29
change the investigation yes there was a substance that was unusual the medical examiner found
00:02:39
tetrahydrozoline in Lin hearnen system it's the active ingredient in eye drops that when ingested can be fatal my
00:02:49
opinion is that Lin hernon died of tetrah hydrosaline poisoning what about the manner of death in this case it's
00:02:57
homicide Till There is the eye drops are you serious do you guys think I murdered
00:03:02
her did you I swear to God I could in June of 2021 Jesse kesi was charged with first-degree intentional homicide the
00:03:11
state argued that Linn hearnen was worth more dead than alive to Jesse keski you're going to see that the access Miss
00:03:19
keski had to Lyn hearnen allowed her to steal every dollar almost that Lyn hearnen was worth in life Lynn gave
00:03:27
Jesse money all the time because she wanted to she wanted Jesse to have it this is not a suicide this was
00:03:35
intentional homicide L love Jesse if Lyn hernard was here today she would say are
00:03:44
