Closings Fight Over Whether 94 MPH Was Reckless in Dying Last Words Trial of Leigha Mumby | Pt 7

The State tells the jury Leigha Mumby made choices at 94 miles an hour and the crash was all driver. The defense answers that something happened. This is the Dying Last Words Trial: State of Florida v. Leigha Mumby, in Flagler County. On Super Bowl night 2025, Daniel Waterman, 22, was riding with his girlfriend Leigha Mumby when her car left I-95. He died on October 8, 2025. She is charged with reckless driving causing serious bodily injury and vehicular homicide, and is presumed innocent. Day 2: closings from prosecutor Melissa Clark and defense attorney Reid Hart, then the judge's instructions. What I'm watching: same black box data, opposite answers. The judge says reckless takes more than a failure to use ordinary care. Does one turn of the wheel at 94 meet that? We're not the jury; only the jurors decide. --- WATCH WITH JUSTICE 0:00:00 What this video is, and a preview 0:00:17 to 0:02:32 - Video starts: Day 2: the jury comes in. 0:02:32 to 0:04:28 - The State opens: "Leigha Mumby made choices". 0:04:28 to 0:07:05 - The two counts, laid out. 0:07:05 to 0:08:39 - Cause of death: "the car crash." 0:08:39 to 0:09:51 - Her state of mind, and a recording played. 0:09:51 to 0:11:11 - "94 miles an hour wasn't fast enough." 0:11:11 to 0:12:00 - No fault in the car: "This was all driver." 0:12:00 to 0:13:38 - Five degrees against 45 at 94. 0:13:38 to 0:15:23 - Motive, and the ask: guilty on both counts. 0:15:23 to 0:17:23 - Reid Hart: "a questionable beginning." 0:17:23 to 0:18:47 - "Everything was normal until it wasn't." 0:18:47 to 0:20:11 - Willful or wanton, as the defense puts it. 0:20:11 to 0:21:37 - The turn back north: "She had a plan." 0:21:37 to 0:24:11 - The pedal and the wheel: "Something happened." 0:24:11 to 0:25:09 - Was she "on a suicide mission"? 0:25:09 to 0:27:42 - His close: "your verdict is not guilty." 0:27:42 to 0:29:48 - Rebuttal: the roommate's credibility. 0:29:48 to 0:31:12 - The pedal off: "losing control". 0:31:12 to 0:32:15 - "That is not what the state has to prove." 0:32:15 to 0:33:21 - The State on "this unborn baby" and 110. 0:33:21 to 0:35:13 - The recording again, as the State reads it. 0:35:13 to 0:36:23 - "All I have to prove is that she was driving recklessly." 0:36:23 to 0:38:58 - Judge Dawn Nichols: count one, reckless driving. 0:38:58 to 0:41:08 - Count two: "more than a failure to use ordinary care". 0:41:08 to 0:45:10 - Presumed innocent, and reasonable doubt. 0:45:10 to 0:46:25 - Not testifying; a statement weighed "with caution". 0:46:25 to 0:48:41 - No verdict from sympathy or anger. 0:48:41 to 0:50:10 - The verdict form, every choice read out. 0:50:10 to 0:53:18 - A foreperson, no phones, the bailiff. 0:53:18 to 0:55:52 - Jury out to deliberate; alternates thanked. 0:55:52 to 1:08:24 - Jury out: exhibits and verdict form readied. --- COMPLETE CASE COVERAGE justiceisaprocess.com SUBSCRIBE for daily trial coverage and hit the notification bell so you never miss testimony.
