Strange thing about the trial

Danny Buck paints a picture of Bernie killing Marjorie to keep up the lifestyle he had become accustomed to, but the rest of the movie shows the opposite.

The townspeople say he bought houses and cars for other people, but he still drove the same old still-financed car and lived in his same house they estimated was worth $50,000. There's no mention of first-class trips to expensive resorts after he kills Marjorie, he just goes back to putting on plays and singing at the church.

It's just weird to show him living a simple life and spending Marjorie's money pretty much exclusively on other people, and then have the prosecution say he used it to keep up his fancy lifestyle without Bernie correcting him or the defense asking to redirect.

Buck doesn't even offer up evidence that Bernie is keeping up a fancy lifestyle (showing the audience that the townspeople don't know what Bernie is really up to) he just talks about a trip that he and Marjorie took together and randomly draws a conclusion that Bernie became accustomed to that lifestyle.

I don't know the truth of what Bernie did with Marjorie's money after he killed her, but the way it's presented at trial makes absolutely no sense compared to the rest of the movie.
