Closing arguments today in bomb plot trial

Reeves body language shows signs of lying. I feel sorry for the Davis family. Reeves is guilty and our prayers are for this young man, to be able to overcome the damage done to him and his family.

Reeves testified yesterday that he needed to order something, and first had Scotty get him on his computer to check on line, then had to actually call the company. He says after a while, he decided he didn't want to waste his own cell phone time, so he picked up the Davis home phone and "continued his call."

I don't know if this was addressed on cross- but how did he do that exactly? This wasn't like using a cordless phone and switching to a hard line telephone. This is a call placed from one number, then finished on another.

If he simply hung up and redialed from the home phone, that's understandable. But was this ever brought up?

He is kind of creepy.

I Think Mr. Reeves made a big mistake taking the stand. One thing of many that really stood out for me was when he was asked how Bomb making info got on his pc. Mr Reeves did not answer but went on to say he didn't know and that anti-virus, defrag,and other software just automatically starts. Trying to insinuate it downloaded this info all by it self. Anyone with any pc experience knows this does not happen.

I haven't seen this case from the beginning but, I think it unbelievable that, Reeves says the kid showed him 2 bombs, and he didnt discuss this with the boy's dad, grandfather or the stepmom, because it was a private matter?! Ain't nothen a private matter where explosives are involved! With todays' climate of school shootings that he wouldn't go to the police right away, and never show concern about the wellfare of his friends..Friends or not, I would've been really upset and would've told the father that if he(father) didn't call the police, he would. In addition, Reeves was never accused by any member of the family that he (Reeves) was the one to call the police and they would have anything to say about to the?!! My concern(as a friend) I would have beside myself with worry and anger that my so-called friends, (not to mention everyone at school!) would blow themselves-up!!! I think he's guilty as hell!!

Reeves story is fishy! And I usually on the defendant's side. Anyone that would go to a friends house and sneak around taking pictures could just as easily planted pipe bombs. The Scan Disk story - BROTHER!

I, unfortunately, personally know Mr. Reeves and I can tell you without question, he is capable of plotting and committing this terrible crime. He has spent his entire life blaming others for the misfortunes in his life. He was fired from the Sheriff’s Dept. in 1992 (I think it was) for lying to the Sheriff. He has a history of lying, stealing, and taking revenge on innocent old people, women, and children. He is a coward and a poor excuse of a human being and if he gets less than life in prison, all who know him should be afraid, very afraid. His vengance has just begun! He will spend the rest of his miserable life trying to get revenge on anyone involved in this case. My family and I will not feel safe until he is off the streets for good!

In Session reporter has indicated today that Kenneth Reeves' relatives are in court but are supposedly supporting the State's case. Wow, what does that say about the defendant's case, even if the jury isn't going to be aware of those reported comments!

Regarding the defenses closing arguments from the defense that the download was done in1994 and that the computer had windows XP and later version of an Intel operating system....hope the jury knows about upgrades of computer software or that rebuttal covers this point. The fact that this information was on reeves computer is a key point and is the most glaring evidence against the defendant.

It seems to me that the viewers of this bomb planting trial are paying more attention to the testimony the the hosts of Court T V are. Pay attention people, and you won't sound so stupid when you are getting paid the big bucks. As for the motive, gee, go ask Scott Peterson how much sense his motive made. It only has to make sense to the mind behind the crime.

Also defragmenting a computer does not download from the internet...instead it compresses and organizing files to free up additonal room/space on the computer.

Reeves is guilty.
he is scary. just look at the lenght he went to destroy this family.
if he a friend of the family, why not talk the father or granddfather?.
he made those pipe bombs, and made the whole story up.
thanks to the police,they saw through his lying.

Ashley, I'm ashamed of you! Women are killed by their husbands for much less everyday. I've seen these kind of creeps who are very insulted that a women very nicely may spurn their advances. It seems quite juvenille,but did anyone talk with his exwife or former girlfiends? He may have been jealous of the happiness and love of this family. Pick up a pipe bomb when you have had police training? A three year old may have picked it up for curiosity, but come on, to take a picture?

The prosecutor is doing a very good job with his "common sense" closing argument. My heart goes out to Scotty Jr and his family. I pray that he is able to recover from his school issues and come out of this a better man.

If I didn't know that I was watching this show, I'd swear it was re-runs from "Law & Order", CSI, Perry Mason and F-troop. If I were a juror on this panel, the red flags on his guilt are waving so feverishly that I wouldn't be able to see the witness stand!!!

Glad that my neighbors and I are on "Wave from a distance" relationship.

I dont' think the prosecution should be snickering as he talks. Makes him look like a smart butt and If I was on the jury it would detract from what he's saying.

I am a minority here in that I just don't see the burden of proof has been met.
I thought Reeves testimony helped him and I beleive him to be innocent of the charges.
I must be missing something everyone else has heard. How is it that the prosecutor has proved Reeves Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?

I did not want to believe that anyone could do this, I really didn't. But after listening to all the tesimony, as a prosector, I would be laughing too. This guys story is so bizarre, there's no way it's to be believed-

My heart goes out to Scott Jr., and his family. God Bless them for making it through this whole ordeal. Scotty Jr., no has his whole life ahead of him to put this incident behind him, while Kenneth Reeves deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars for what he has done to this family.

My heart does, however, go out to Reeves' son Cody – I hope he has family members ready to step in, and take him in, and take care of him. Reeves obviously has left more than one family in shambles.

Please put the livecoverage back on the web site. It is back on tv,so why is it not streaming live on the web?

This guy is creepy. His Defense Attorney is bad. I am not a legal person but even I could find all kinds of holes in Reeves Testamony. Wow. He is an ex cop of sorts, picks up and handles a pipe bomb. Yeah, he picks them up because he knows, since he made them, that they are lethal. Duh!! I won't go on, why bother. I am not the only smart one here. If I were on the Jury, we'd be done in less than 2 hours. Davis Family, feel safe. Reeves is history.

Is it just me or does this guy resemble Sniedley Whiplash? All he needs is a bowler hat. He all ready has the explosives and He is obviousley obsessed with fair Nell.

His "Heroic behavior "is cartoonish and his testimony is fantasy.

I feel for the victims;The Davis Family and the Citizens of Florida

The defense wants you to believe that a defrag. or anti-virus program, downloaded several incriminating documents, without human intervention. It is impossible for that to happen! Any fool who has taken computers.. 101 must be incredulous at even the suggestion that could occur. De-fragmentation, simply takes non-contiguous file parts (fragmented) and moves them into a contiguous (defragmented) format. This keeps the HDD from having to move the head actuator from sector to sector, or from switching heads too many times, losing sync and having to wait for the HDD to make another revolution to re-sync, to finish reading a record or file would add milliseconds of time, in a world of processor nanoseconds. That would be a self defeating activity. De-fragmentation is simply a space and time improvement element. It has nothing to do with downloading files from a web site. The only time it should use a url, is under human intervention, to download updates. There are a few programs that, will automatically update themselves, however, they must be pre-configured and only download from their own sites(or mirror sites). To even insinuate that a defragmentation program would go to various urls, all connected to bomb construction and download them, is lunacy.

Why would the Davis family allow Reeves to wander around their compound the evening of the 12th from 5PM to 12 midnight? They must have had suspicions that he was the person who tipped the police off about the first two pipe bombs.

Why would it take 5 hours to put in the locks? That whole event doesn't make sense.

Mr. Reeves is trying to play but his bases are stolen!!! I wonder why the police didn`t collect DNA from the drill press, vise handle or pipe bombs? I hope you show the rest of the closing arguments. It seems like either commercials or end of the show come in at the best parts.Please show the rest of the arguments!!!

Wow if he is innocent..where was the computer expert to show that the antivirus program accessed the cookbook file EVERY month on the 30th? And I have the same computer, NOT 13 years old, but have moved files from the old one to this one...(not my explosive books tho,,lol)

I now feel safe enough that I can say i am unfortunatly his daughter. I have been in court to watch the trial and to for the first time in a very long time actually see justice servred! This man (if you can call him that) has been in and out of trouble over the last 11 years and everytime seems to get off easy or get off altogether. There is alot more to this man and this bomb issue isnt the first. He has always had alot of anger built up but in 1995 we all started seeing a side of him we had never seen. I personally havent had a "close" relationship with him for a long time because i cant swallow the things he does or the way that he lives his life and he doesnt like that i call him on it. Im not stupid and your not going to convince me that your BS story is true. If you are someone who actually knows Ken you would have seen right through him ... his body language and the way he talks... it is easy to tell when he is lying. He has always had a problem with lying and getting revenge. I can honestly say that i have spent my life in fear of a man that was suspossed to be the one man in my life i could always turn to.

I have spoke to the Davis family and although i didnt personally do anything to their family i did appologize to them for what my father did to their family. I know how hard it has all been on me and my family...i can only imagine the effect on their family. The really are nice people and i think their kindness was taken forgranted.

Above in someones comment it was mentioned that the family was in the court room on the states side... yes we were ... i feel that the state did an amazing job, and we are thankful that we truely can sleep in peace. FOR ONCE KENNETH REEVES IS BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS ACTIONS!!!!!!! We still have one hurdle left and that is the sentencing and i have faith that he WILL do hard time. Ken is a very dangerous person and has pending charges in another county still to be tried in court so noone out on the streets will have to worry about him.

This was the best birthday presant the Lord could have given me!

oh and as far as the rejection ... he has a huge problem with that and the comment that was made to Heather Davis was a "typical Ken" comment. He is sick and twisted and i honestly dont think there is anyone out there that could "help" him.

yea whoever heard of disfragmenting a computer can access into websites ,, impossible,, it only makes your computer faster and gets rid of things you do not need,, this trial and story,, didnt make sense in the first place,,,,and only because the mother didnt return his advances,,,,how desperate could this person have been?? now hes facing life in prison,, what an idiot

The entire crime was such overkill on Reeves part. I think he wanted to get the mother and father as well as the son because he knew the child was on house arrest when he planted the other bombs, which would have left only the parents to be charged with that crime. Plus he then testified that Heather told him she was going to get back at Orange Co for arresting her son.

And bombs everywhere, like the family would have made no attempts at all to hide them. First of all, does this strike you as similar to ANY OTHER school mayhem project? In none of those do we see the family suddenly take up their child's interest in bomb making and possession of weapons. Also, in those other cases, the kids involved DID have other weapons too, not just bombs, and frequently they had made VIDEOS of themselves shooting and blowing things up. None of that was present here.

And IF an entire family was invested in doing this, they would have better sense than to hide them in BOTH of their cars and all over the house. I mean, this stuff was just patently planted. Way too much evidence. Way too perfect.

What a dolt Reeves is. He let his anger blind him.

Perhaps the two not guilty verdicts on the first two counts related to the two "metal" pipe bombs. In his closing, the defense attorney stated that Reeves had no access to metal, only PVC. The jury might therefore have "some" doubt on those two counts, but felt comfortable on the others.

It's amazing how Mr. Reeves appears to BELEIVE what he testified to-and he wants everyone else to. This is sociopathic–clear as mud they are.

I was struck by Reeves demeanor and physicsal appearance. During the trial and his testamony he appeared to be a normal, average citizen; however after his verdict he looked like a mean, vicious man!

The prosecution did a good job. Opportunities to bring out the full picture of Ken would have been to supena the Sanford police officer Smith who Ken called about the bombs. Since he was part of the case you could have asked him about Ken's other questionable exploits Ken is a sociopath who often trys to seek revenge on people he feels has wronged him in some fashion. As for the single father trying to raise his son, he stole his son from a loving, caring home and Officer Smith knows to what lenght Ken went to do this. There is a book here and a story to be told about all the lives that this sociopath has impacted. The jury can sleep very well at night knowing that they convicted the right man in this case no doubt. Now the ball is in the judge's hands. We can only hope that Ken Reeves does spend the rest of his days in jail so that people do not have to worry about the revenge he will seek if he gets out. Just being in the courtroom on the prosecution side could bring his wrath. Also did anyone notice how Ken started to stare at the jurors when the counts 4 through 11 were read? Scarrrrrrryyyyy!!!!!

PS in response to sheryl, It is a shame that the victims in many cases including this case have all their lives opened up in the public eye, but the defendant is protected by law and we cannot bring in all the information about them and their problems on display. I hope someon does write a book so that you can read it and see how a sociopath really works. I also am glad this all came out so that Ken could not continue to work in unsupsecting peoples homes who he did air conditioning for. How do you get this license as a convicted felon? Having access to peoples homes??? The state of FL should review this.

I looked into the license thing... he petitioned Jeb Bush to have his rights restored and once that was done... nothing prevented him from geting the license. Took him several times to pass the test but he got it...this whole deal sucks for all involved .. once over it will be fine but its just getting there that is tough. I am glad that my youngest brother is back where he needs to be and the brain washing can stop... and Ken can have a long lonely miserable rest of his life in Prison...no more county jail!!!!!!!

Reeves really knows how to feed a bunch of bull. It`s too bad for him that everyone has his number !!

This one I just don't get at all. How could this fellow get into their home and put these bombs under these beds?
I think that this is giant case of misjustice and that is a fact.

well apparantly they are not interested in my comment oh well good luk to caylee and casey may god be with you
