Tracey Grist Trial Day Five - Tracey Testifies

Day Five centered on Tracey Grist taking the stand in her own defense, where she denied planning the killing of Matthew Restelli and insisted prior comments about harming him were jokes, not serious intent. She told jurors she feared Matthew, claimed she did not instruct her son to shoot, and explained key prosecution points—like AirTags and her internet searches—as either related to the children or her interest in true crime. By the end of her testimony, the defense had reframed the case around her state of mind, arguing she was reacting to a volatile situation rather than orchestrating a planned ambush. Join our squad!
