[00:22.620 --> 00:29.660] Well, hey everybody. I made it through day eight. Another day in the bag in the trial [00:29.660 --> 00:36.920] of the state of Indiana versus Richard Allen over here in Delphi. Today was a little bit [00:36.920 --> 00:41.820] more of the same. We built on some of the stuff that we've already heard, filled in [00:41.820 --> 00:47.780] some themes. So our big picture breakdown for today. We heard from another eyewitness [00:47.780 --> 00:54.520] and we got yet another inconsistent description of Bridge Guy. We heard from the forensic [00:54.520 --> 01:02.540] pathologist today and as well as the Idaho State Police Officer who conducted a more [01:02.540 --> 01:12.180] extensive evaluation of the cell phone extractions from Liberty German's cell phone. And with [01:12.180 --> 01:19.300] of these witnesses, they cleared up quite a few questions, but then they also raised [01:19.300 --> 01:28.960] quite a few others. So on balance, still left us with some confusion to resolve. [01:29.720 --> 01:34.400] And then the big news of the day for me, Judge Gold denied my motion. I admit I am [01:34.400 --> 01:39.980] surprised that she even bothered to deal with it, but she did. So I will be evaluating [01:39.980 --> 01:46.880] the next steps in the coming days. Well, let's get right into the details, guys. [01:48.320 --> 01:56.440] Let me start by... the way that my morning started today, I was blessed by an angel [01:56.440 --> 02:04.720] from heaven. I was there at the courthouse steps at 2.30. I made it there and I was [02:04.720 --> 02:09.060] walking up the little ramp that we all hang out on with my chair and my blanket and [02:09.060 --> 02:15.400] my big heavy down quilt and everything. And a woman greeted me on the ramp and introduced [02:15.400 --> 02:24.400] herself as my line sitter. Hallelujah. I'm not going to dox her out her publicly [02:24.400 --> 02:31.360] or anything like that. But she was absolutely just a perfect blessing at exactly the [02:31.360 --> 02:37.340] right time. And so because of that, I was able to go back to my car and get [02:37.340 --> 02:43.220] a few hours of extra sleep in my car. And I can't tell you what a difference it made. [02:44.360 --> 02:49.440] You wouldn't think that the difference between, you know, three hours of sleep at night [02:49.440 --> 02:55.460] and six hours of sleep would be monumental, but it absolutely was. It just kept me going [02:55.460 --> 03:01.120] through the day so much better. So thank you so much. Those of you who are helping [03:01.120 --> 03:06.200] to organize line sitting, there's a group of folks on Reddit that got together and [03:06.200 --> 03:12.880] just kind of took this initiative. I'm so thankful, really grateful for the help. [03:14.140 --> 03:20.180] You guys are amazing. I'm kind of a little bit overwhelmed that people are volunteering [03:20.180 --> 03:26.080] to do that on their own accord. So that helped me a lot with getting through the [03:26.080 --> 03:30.220] day. And as a result, I do have quite a few notes to get through, although I'll [03:30.220 --> 03:35.980] just do my notepad count a little bit early today. I only made it maybe a little [03:35.980 --> 03:42.360] bit more than halfway through one legal pad, maybe about, you can't really see [03:42.360 --> 03:46.840] that very well, maybe about two thirds of the way through one legal pad. So not [03:46.840 --> 03:52.100] quite as much as the last couple days have been. In part, that's because so [03:52.100 --> 03:57.300] much of the testimony was during the forensic pathologist's examination. And [03:57.300 --> 04:03.080] so we dealt with a lot of photographs and not so much oral testimony to be [04:03.080 --> 04:09.760] taken down, but taking in a lot of visual information. But I do want to [04:09.760 --> 04:15.300] back up and start at the beginning. So I'll start at the very beginning. Those [04:15.300 --> 04:21.920] of you on the Bradley Rossi style watch. Today he was in a navy blue [04:21.920 --> 04:31.280] suit. It had a light gray or light blue like square check pattern and a [04:31.280 --> 04:36.480] lovely mustard like mustard colored kind of gold colored somewhere in [04:36.480 --> 04:43.460] between those two tie over a white shirt. It was quite striking. We [04:43.460 --> 04:48.660] started today with Sarah Carbaugh. She was our first witness of the [04:48.660 --> 04:52.480] morning when she came into the courtroom. The very first thing that [04:52.480 --> 04:57.720] I noticed is she had absolutely beautiful hair, beautiful long [04:57.720 --> 05:01.980] strawberry hair down to her waist, strawberry blonde hair down to her [05:01.980 --> 05:05.380] waist, just a just a small barrette kind of holding it, you know, like [05:05.380 --> 05:09.580] here, a little bit a little bit out of her eyes. It was it was [05:09.580 --> 05:12.920] absolutely glorious. I could have I could have looked at that hair all [05:12.920 --> 05:17.960] day. So Sarah, Sarah Carbaugh was one of the eyewitnesses to Bridge [05:17.960 --> 05:22.740] Guy. She's the one who Mr. Baldwin described in his opening statement as [05:22.740 --> 05:28.640] the bookend to Betsy Blair. Betsy Blair would have seen Mr. Mr. [05:29.180 --> 05:34.080] Allen before or Mr. Allen, you know, if assuming Mr. Allen is [05:34.080 --> 05:37.580] Bridge Guy, she would have seen the Bridge Guy before the time of the [05:37.580 --> 05:42.940] murders and the abduction. And then Sarah Carbaugh would have seen him [05:42.940 --> 05:50.280] after those events took place. So her testimony went as follows. She is [05:50.280 --> 05:55.040] Delphi resident describes herself as as local as you can get. She [05:55.040 --> 05:58.920] lives close to the Monon High Bridge Trail. She's familiar with it [05:58.920 --> 06:02.640] and visited it daily or nearly daily during this time, because [06:02.640 --> 06:06.780] she has dogs, and it was a good place to walk. She would also [06:06.780 --> 06:10.480] often pass the trail entrance that Mears entrance that we've [06:10.480 --> 06:14.980] talked about on the road. So she always used the Mears entrance [06:14.980 --> 06:20.560] when she would visit the trails. She was not one she described [06:20.560 --> 06:23.600] herself as like not not one who was big for crossing the bridge. [06:23.620 --> 06:28.660] She did do it a few times when she was 16. She chickened out [06:28.660 --> 06:33.080] the last time that she did it. And as an adult is not not inclined [06:33.080 --> 06:40.880] to cross the railroad bridge. She was on direct a very open and [06:41.680 --> 06:47.720] somewhat enthusiastic witness. She she would she seemed to have [06:47.720 --> 06:52.340] been prepped. And I say this because she would deliver her [06:52.340 --> 06:56.740] answers to the jury. So the orientation of the courtroom, [06:56.880 --> 07:01.840] the witness to face the attorney, the attorney is [07:01.840 --> 07:07.260] typically either they tend to leave their their, their [07:07.260 --> 07:10.320] tables and move around a little bit, they stand at [07:10.320 --> 07:12.340] different points in the courtroom, but but typically in [07:12.340 --> 07:16.240] the middle middle ish of the courtroom. And so to face the [07:16.240 --> 07:19.220] attorney, the witness, it would be facing this one [07:19.220 --> 07:22.240] direction. And then the jury box is in the opposite [07:22.240 --> 07:27.020] direction. So Ms. Carbaugh was turning to listen to the [07:27.020 --> 07:29.480] prosecuting attorney with a question and then deliberately [07:29.480 --> 07:32.740] turning to address her answer to the question, direct her [07:32.740 --> 07:36.300] answer to the jury. So this is a technique that a lot of [07:36.300 --> 07:38.940] law enforcement officers do, they're kind of trained to do [07:38.940 --> 07:42.900] that. People have kind of mixed opinions about its [07:42.900 --> 07:45.280] effectiveness or whether it's whether it's a good idea, [07:45.280 --> 07:48.520] particularly with with lay witnesses, because it does [07:48.520 --> 07:55.240] sometimes come across as a bit unnatural. The jury is [07:55.240 --> 07:58.720] certainly the audience for your testimony, but the the [07:58.720 --> 08:01.260] communication is going on with the prosecuting attorney. [08:01.260 --> 08:03.600] And so for most people, it's just your normal [08:03.600 --> 08:06.300] conversation, you would be talking with the person who's [08:06.300 --> 08:09.420] asking you the question. And so that's what typically seems [08:09.420 --> 08:13.660] natural for a witness is to is to address the attorney who [08:13.660 --> 08:20.160] is questioning. So she did have that, that mannerism, I [08:20.160 --> 08:23.200] guess that did tend to suggest to me that she has [08:23.200 --> 08:29.040] probably been prepped for her testimony. She did not know [08:29.040 --> 08:31.160] Abby or Libby, she had learned that they were [08:31.160 --> 08:34.180] missing the night, the same day that they had gone [08:34.180 --> 08:37.480] missing. She got an amber alert and was aware of it that [08:37.480 --> 08:41.940] way. So she was in the area of the trail that day, but [08:41.940 --> 08:44.900] she did not go out on the trail. What she described is [08:44.900 --> 08:49.400] that she was driving by in her car to try to scope out [08:49.400 --> 08:52.380] how busy the trail was by just seeing how many people [08:52.380 --> 08:55.760] were parked in the parking lot. So I'm she didn't go [08:55.760 --> 08:58.000] into detail. I'm assuming she was just sort of going [08:58.000 --> 09:00.300] about her business that day, but she would pass the [09:00.300 --> 09:04.300] trail periodically and check to see how busy it was [09:04.300 --> 09:07.460] in the parking lot. So she said she passed by it [09:07.460 --> 09:10.200] three or four times. It was a beautiful day and she [09:10.200 --> 09:13.220] was driving around. And every time she went by [09:13.220 --> 09:16.440] there, there were vehicles there. So the last time [09:16.440 --> 09:20.040] she went she went by, she indicated it was about [09:20.040 --> 09:23.180] four o'clock. And she saw a group of people at [09:23.180 --> 09:26.280] the entrance, including a girl with bright blonde [09:26.280 --> 09:29.440] hair and a hot pink t-shirt, a hot pink shirt. [09:29.760 --> 09:34.800] They were kind of talking in a group and seemed [09:34.800 --> 09:38.180] very stressed. And at this point in time, she [09:38.180 --> 09:42.120] was heading east on that 300 North Road that [09:42.120 --> 09:45.420] we've heard about that goes that goes back [09:45.420 --> 09:49.800] towards her home. So she continued on past the [09:49.800 --> 09:54.500] trailhead and saw a man a little bit further [09:54.500 --> 09:57.780] up who she described as being covered in mud [09:57.780 --> 10:00.960] and blood walking on the side of the road. So [10:00.960 --> 10:03.460] he was on the north side of the road walking [10:03.460 --> 10:07.560] back towards Main Street. So it would be [10:07.560 --> 10:11.880] westbound on on 300 North. And she was then [10:11.880 --> 10:14.720] on the other lane, the opposite lane going [10:14.720 --> 10:17.040] eastbound. So he was on the driver's side, [10:17.040 --> 10:18.780] meaning like she didn't have to, you know, [10:18.860 --> 10:20.680] look through her passenger window to see him [10:20.680 --> 10:23.140] or anything like that. He was right there in [10:23.140 --> 10:28.600] her line of sight as she was driving by. She [10:28.600 --> 10:31.960] describes that she looked at him and he [10:31.960 --> 10:35.260] didn't make eye contact with her. She [10:35.260 --> 10:37.520] indicated she had been driving about 30 or [10:37.520 --> 10:40.200] 35 miles an hour, but slowed down slightly [10:40.200 --> 10:43.380] when she saw him just just to go past. She [10:43.380 --> 10:46.440] didn't recognize him. She did not know Abby [10:46.440 --> 10:47.980] and Libby were missing at this point in [10:47.980 --> 10:49.660] time. So nothing, you know, she wasn't like [10:49.660 --> 10:53.600] on the lookout or anything like that. She [10:53.600 --> 10:55.900] designated all of these areas on a map that [10:55.900 --> 11:00.720] has been introduced as an exhibit. So then [11:00.720 --> 11:03.080] it was when she got home that she learned [11:03.080 --> 11:07.060] that Abby and Libby were missing. Later on, [11:07.060 --> 11:09.520] she saw a photo of the bridge guy on the [11:09.520 --> 11:12.920] news and indicated that she had another one [11:12.920 --> 11:16.340] of these recognitions. She recognized it [11:16.340 --> 11:19.040] instantly as the man that she had seen [11:19.040 --> 11:21.580] walking covered in mud and blood on the [11:21.580 --> 11:26.660] road. So her description of him was that [11:26.660 --> 11:28.740] again, he was covered in mud and blood. His [11:28.740 --> 11:31.560] demeanor was was way off. And she offers [11:31.560 --> 11:34.540] to demonstrate this. I took this as an [11:34.540 --> 11:36.520] indication that she was she was kind of [11:36.520 --> 11:39.020] an eager witness. Like she was she was [11:39.020 --> 11:42.960] eager to show the jury what what she she [11:42.960 --> 11:45.640] knew. She wanted to demonstrate what she [11:45.640 --> 11:47.720] meant by his demeanor while he was [11:47.720 --> 11:49.460] walking like she didn't have the words to [11:49.460 --> 11:51.600] describe it. So she was eager to kind of [11:51.600 --> 11:53.180] get out of her chair and do that [11:53.180 --> 11:56.080] demonstration. The prosecutor Stacey Deener [11:56.080 --> 11:58.400] was was handling this questioning actually [11:58.400 --> 12:00.240] stopped her and paused her said, you know, [12:00.340 --> 12:04.140] wait a minute, we'll get to that. She [12:04.140 --> 12:07.480] said that his demeanor was sketchy, that [12:07.480 --> 12:09.920] he didn't look at her. His head was [12:09.920 --> 12:14.360] down. And she said that his pants were [12:14.360 --> 12:17.680] covered in mud. The part below his knees [12:17.680 --> 12:20.800] were covered in blood and blood splatters. [12:21.640 --> 12:24.360] She said she thought he had fallen [12:24.360 --> 12:26.440] down off the off the cliff or something [12:26.440 --> 12:28.440] like that, like falling onto the rocks. [12:28.820 --> 12:31.560] She she, you know, just I think was [12:31.560 --> 12:33.880] trying to maybe mentally explain to [12:33.880 --> 12:36.520] herself what she what she was seeing. And [12:36.520 --> 12:38.480] that was that was kind of her her [12:38.480 --> 12:39.980] guess. Maybe he had fallen down the [12:40.520 --> 12:45.260] And hurt himself. She put the time at [12:45.260 --> 12:47.880] about four to 430 because the sun was [12:47.880 --> 12:50.100] in the process of setting at that [12:50.100 --> 12:52.420] point in time. And so she had seen a [12:52.420 --> 12:55.000] kind of orange hue in the sky behind [12:55.000 --> 12:58.800] him when she passed him. So she did [12:58.800 --> 13:01.620] contact police about three weeks later. [13:01.940 --> 13:06.160] She was questioned about why the delay [13:06.160 --> 13:08.200] why did she wait to contact police [13:08.200 --> 13:10.960] and her explanation was that she had [13:10.960 --> 13:13.420] been very traumatized by this murder. [13:13.960 --> 13:17.900] She is a big over thinker and that [13:17.900 --> 13:20.180] basically not acting was a combination [13:20.180 --> 13:23.040] of her both being upset and being, I [13:23.040 --> 13:26.220] think a little unsure about herself [13:26.220 --> 13:29.500] about, you know, just her role in [13:29.500 --> 13:31.800] it. Stepping stepping forward. Is [13:31.800 --> 13:33.600] that, you know, is that appropriate? [13:33.700 --> 13:35.160] Does she have the type of information [13:35.160 --> 13:36.720] that's that's worth bringing forward? [13:36.720 --> 13:39.220] Ultimately, three, about three weeks [13:39.220 --> 13:42.640] later, there was an officer at the [13:42.640 --> 13:44.640] Mears entrance, they had set up a [13:44.640 --> 13:46.920] blockade and apparently at several [13:46.920 --> 13:50.140] several parts around around the [13:50.140 --> 13:51.680] trails they had they had set up [13:51.680 --> 13:53.140] blockades, they were stopping people [13:53.140 --> 13:55.820] that were coming by and asking them [13:55.820 --> 13:57.920] for tips, they were looking for tips. [13:58.420 --> 14:00.880] So she decided at that at that time [14:00.880 --> 14:03.340] that it was time it was time for her [14:03.340 --> 14:05.180] to be brave and tell somebody what [14:05.180 --> 14:13.050] she had seen. She was familiar with [14:13.050 --> 14:14.630] the Hoosier, the Hoosier Harvest Store [14:14.630 --> 14:15.890] knew where it was. She said she [14:15.890 --> 14:17.050] didn't actually know there was a [14:17.050 --> 14:18.430] store back there, but she knew the [14:18.430 --> 14:21.150] general vicinity. And so the police [14:21.150 --> 14:23.590] had shown her the still shots from [14:23.590 --> 14:26.630] the camera of what they believed to [14:26.630 --> 14:28.470] be her car. And so she was able [14:28.470 --> 14:31.050] to identify it as her car, based on [14:31.050 --> 14:33.950] the timestamp of that video, the [14:33.950 --> 14:37.570] time put it at 3.56pm. And so [14:37.570 --> 14:39.850] that tended to corroborate her [14:39.850 --> 14:42.750] timeline of when she when she [14:42.750 --> 14:44.110] says she saw this man. [14:46.250 --> 14:48.350] That was pretty much all that she [14:48.350 --> 14:50.130] all that she had on on direct [14:50.130 --> 14:52.850] examination. So Mr. Baldwin handled [14:52.850 --> 14:58.950] across. And Mr. Baldwin, he he is [14:58.950 --> 15:00.850] not he's not an aggressive, he's not [15:00.850 --> 15:03.470] a mean lawyer. None of them really [15:03.470 --> 15:05.310] are but just in terms of being a [15:05.310 --> 15:07.390] little bit more in your face. The [15:07.390 --> 15:08.870] most in your face of all of them [15:08.870 --> 15:12.850] is is Mr. Rosie by far he's he will [15:12.850 --> 15:15.330] smack you with the facts that that [15:15.330 --> 15:16.630] he's that he's using for his [15:16.630 --> 15:20.270] confrontation. Mr. Baldwin is is [15:20.270 --> 15:24.330] much more he handles them with [15:24.330 --> 15:26.790] with kid gloves much more like he [15:26.790 --> 15:29.230] will get the information out but he [15:29.230 --> 15:31.750] seems to try to be fairly gentle [15:31.750 --> 15:34.890] about it. But that said fairly [15:34.890 --> 15:37.810] instantly. We saw a demeanor shift [15:37.810 --> 15:40.150] from from his car by when we went [15:40.150 --> 15:43.210] to cross examination. She she [15:43.210 --> 15:45.290] began to get defensive pretty much [15:45.290 --> 15:49.150] right off the bat. So the first [15:49.150 --> 15:51.470] thing that Mr. Baldwin asked was [15:51.470 --> 15:54.950] that in your first interview with [15:54.950 --> 15:58.750] police you said mud 11 times but [15:58.750 --> 16:01.750] you never said the word blood. Her [16:01.750 --> 16:03.370] answer was that she believed that [16:03.370 --> 16:07.230] she did say blood but it didn't law [16:07.230 --> 16:08.830] enforcement didn't pick that up. It [16:08.830 --> 16:10.190] didn't get picked up in the [16:10.190 --> 16:12.630] interview. She said she described [16:12.630 --> 16:14.250] that she was nervous and that she [16:14.250 --> 16:17.830] mumbled and that she rambled. And [16:18.370 --> 16:19.970] she said she recalled the point [16:19.970 --> 16:21.250] where she stood up in the [16:21.250 --> 16:23.350] interviews and that's the point [16:23.350 --> 16:24.810] where she described the man as [16:24.810 --> 16:28.170] being covered in mud and blood. But [16:28.170 --> 16:30.610] according to Mr. Baldwin the word [16:30.610 --> 16:32.430] blood does not appear anywhere in [16:32.430 --> 16:35.470] the transcript. So her memory of [16:35.470 --> 16:37.750] what she said seems to not be [16:37.750 --> 16:40.630] substantiated by the testimony that [16:40.630 --> 16:42.450] or not testimony it was it was a [16:42.450 --> 16:44.870] statement but by the transcript of [16:44.870 --> 16:46.710] her of her statement that she gave [16:46.710 --> 16:50.770] to police. Then a couple weeks [16:50.770 --> 16:52.390] later according according to Mr. [16:52.550 --> 16:54.130] Baldwin she gave another interview [16:54.130 --> 16:56.510] and that time she used the word [16:56.510 --> 17:00.190] mud 13 times but again never said [17:00.190 --> 17:03.010] the word blood. On this occasion she [17:03.010 --> 17:04.250] said that she thought that she [17:04.250 --> 17:06.750] did and that there is an hour to [17:06.750 --> 17:08.690] an hour and a half portion of the [17:08.690 --> 17:11.310] interview that was missing that is [17:11.310 --> 17:14.230] just gone. So wasn't clear is this [17:14.230 --> 17:17.110] part of the whole interviews getting [17:17.110 --> 17:20.230] lost issue that that we've heard [17:20.230 --> 17:23.250] quite a bit about from the [17:23.250 --> 17:25.250] defense as you know part of just [17:25.250 --> 17:27.010] some of some of the failings in [17:27.010 --> 17:28.790] this case by by law enforcement the [17:28.790 --> 17:31.870] failure to preserve those early day [17:31.870 --> 17:35.670] interviews really wasn't clear wasn't [17:35.670 --> 17:38.190] clear how or whether that was [17:38.190 --> 17:39.830] reflected in the transcript if that [17:39.830 --> 17:43.290] was something that Mr. Baldwin knew. [17:46.050 --> 17:48.790] That it just we did not we did [17:48.790 --> 17:50.890] not really get a crystal clear [17:50.890 --> 17:53.110] answer to that. The bottom line [17:53.110 --> 17:55.390] according to Mr. Baldwin is that in [17:55.390 --> 17:57.930] any event the transcript at no point [17:57.930 --> 17:59.610] included the word blood. [18:01.210 --> 18:03.710] So Ms. Carbot would she was [18:03.710 --> 18:05.290] contesting this she was quite [18:05.290 --> 18:06.590] certain she had used the word [18:06.590 --> 18:09.510] blood so Mr. Baldwin gave her the [18:09.510 --> 18:11.370] transcript she sat there and she [18:11.370 --> 18:12.930] flipped through every page of that [18:12.930 --> 18:15.950] transcript and the jury I noticed [18:15.950 --> 18:18.310] was watching quite attentively while [18:18.310 --> 18:20.050] she did that they they they were [18:20.050 --> 18:22.370] watching her page through the [18:22.370 --> 18:25.730] transcript. Ultimately she says she [18:25.730 --> 18:27.470] did not she doesn't see the word [18:27.470 --> 18:29.650] in the transcript but she does [18:29.650 --> 18:31.710] remember telling the officer and [18:31.710 --> 18:33.410] marking it on an image. [18:35.690 --> 18:37.210] So then there was a third [18:37.210 --> 18:39.450] interview that she gave that was [18:39.450 --> 18:42.170] approximately two years later where [18:42.170 --> 18:44.690] in this one she never according [18:44.690 --> 18:46.790] to Mr. Baldwin said the word [18:46.790 --> 18:49.790] muddy she only described him as [18:49.790 --> 18:50.850] being bloody. [18:53.990 --> 18:56.730] She explained this by saying that [18:56.730 --> 18:58.450] at this point in time it was two [18:58.450 --> 19:00.950] years later and so the important [19:00.950 --> 19:03.950] details were just as simple the [19:03.950 --> 19:05.470] simple point that she saw a bridge [19:05.470 --> 19:07.550] guy walking covered in mud and [19:07.550 --> 19:09.930] blood. Mr. Baldwin's like but you [19:09.930 --> 19:12.930] never said mud the third time. She [19:12.930 --> 19:15.150] says I believe I said mud and [19:15.150 --> 19:17.350] blood and that her description has [19:17.350 --> 19:21.270] always been the same. So then now [19:21.270 --> 19:23.910] again Mr. Baldwin goes ahead and [19:23.910 --> 19:25.970] gives her the the transcript of [19:25.970 --> 19:28.010] interview to refresh her [19:28.010 --> 19:32.490] recollection and she was flipping [19:32.490 --> 19:35.210] through the transcript again jury [19:35.210 --> 19:36.410] jury is kind of watching this [19:36.410 --> 19:38.230] happening she's flipping through [19:38.230 --> 19:40.910] the transcript and ultimately [19:40.910 --> 19:42.870] indicates no she did not see the [19:42.870 --> 19:44.750] word mud in that transcript. [19:46.710 --> 19:48.270] So at this point Mr. Baldwin asked [19:48.270 --> 19:49.750] her is I guess it's not true [19:49.750 --> 19:51.170] that your description has always [19:51.170 --> 19:53.850] been consistent and she conceded [19:53.850 --> 19:56.570] I guess not. She did not seem [19:56.570 --> 19:58.710] happy about making this making [19:58.710 --> 20:01.450] this concession. My impression [20:01.910 --> 20:03.150] when they were going through [20:03.150 --> 20:04.530] this kind of back and forth [20:04.530 --> 20:06.050] about did you say it during the [20:06.050 --> 20:09.390] interview. Mr. Baldwin's clearly [20:10.190 --> 20:11.930] clearly taking the position she [20:11.930 --> 20:13.690] gave inconsistent statements. She [20:13.690 --> 20:17.030] is clearly believes that she [20:17.030 --> 20:18.590] gave consistent statements every [20:18.590 --> 20:21.050] time. It might might just the [20:21.050 --> 20:22.650] impression that I had gotten was [20:22.650 --> 20:24.370] that she had anticipated that [20:24.370 --> 20:25.730] she was going to be challenged [20:25.730 --> 20:26.930] on this. It could have been [20:26.930 --> 20:29.750] through preparation. It's not [20:29.750 --> 20:32.510] uncommon or unethical. Some [20:32.510 --> 20:33.350] people think it's like [20:33.350 --> 20:34.390] unethical to talk to the [20:34.390 --> 20:35.730] witnesses before trial. No it's [20:35.730 --> 20:37.990] not. It's perfectly common and [20:37.990 --> 20:40.130] perfectly normal to prepare them [20:40.130 --> 20:41.330] for what the process is going [20:41.330 --> 20:43.170] to look like and the types of [20:43.170 --> 20:44.610] questions they might anticipate [20:44.610 --> 20:45.670] being asked on cross [20:45.670 --> 20:47.810] examination. So if Ms. Deener [20:47.810 --> 20:49.270] had sat down with her to [20:49.270 --> 20:50.130] prepare her for her [20:50.130 --> 20:51.630] testimony she may have mentioned [20:51.630 --> 20:53.190] you know Mr. Baldwin's going to [20:53.190 --> 20:54.890] say you know you were you were [20:54.890 --> 20:56.150] inconsistent or whatever. [20:58.350 --> 20:59.850] Either because it's reflected in [20:59.850 --> 21:01.390] the transcript or you know a [21:01.390 --> 21:02.870] bare minimum because Mr. Baldwin [21:02.870 --> 21:04.830] had said that in his opening [21:04.830 --> 21:11.670] statement. Mr. Baldwin then [21:11.670 --> 21:14.870] approached her with apparently [21:14.870 --> 21:16.990] she had described the man as [21:16.990 --> 21:18.950] looking like a hog had been [21:18.950 --> 21:20.470] slaughtered that that's how much [21:20.470 --> 21:23.830] blood that she saw. She said [21:23.830 --> 21:26.270] she seemed kind of surprised at [21:26.270 --> 21:27.510] that at that description like [21:27.510 --> 21:28.650] maybe she didn't remember giving [21:28.650 --> 21:30.190] that description. She said I've [21:30.190 --> 21:32.030] never seen a hog slaughtered so [21:32.030 --> 21:33.930] I don't know how accurate a [21:33.930 --> 21:37.370] description that would be. She [21:37.370 --> 21:39.770] was getting a little bit a [21:39.770 --> 21:46.440] little bit her energy level was [21:46.440 --> 21:48.580] going up. She was getting a [21:48.580 --> 21:50.240] little bit combative. She was [21:50.240 --> 21:51.720] going a little bit from [21:51.720 --> 21:54.160] defensive to a little bit more. [21:55.240 --> 21:56.980] She was becoming angry and [21:56.980 --> 21:59.960] became visible at this point [22:01.680 --> 22:04.960] really notably because she [22:07.960 --> 22:10.060] not shouted you know but but [22:10.060 --> 22:13.160] raised her voice. I didn't [22:13.160 --> 22:14.580] think he was a murderer at the [22:14.580 --> 22:16.760] time or like why would I think [22:16.760 --> 22:17.920] he was a murderer at the time [22:17.920 --> 22:18.980] I had no reason to think he [22:18.980 --> 22:20.160] was a murderer at the time it [22:20.160 --> 22:21.700] was something along those lines [22:24.440 --> 22:26.440] kind of kind of seeming to be [22:26.440 --> 22:30.900] angry at Mr. Baldwin. And then [22:30.900 --> 22:32.900] Mr. Baldwin asked well did [22:32.900 --> 22:34.760] you stop to help him seeing a [22:34.760 --> 22:35.980] man all covered in blood on [22:35.980 --> 22:37.520] the road. At this point she [22:37.520 --> 22:39.620] got quite angry and she said [22:39.620 --> 22:41.100] no I didn't stop to help him [22:41.100 --> 22:43.260] she's like I didn't stop to [22:43.260 --> 22:44.520] help him I'm a woman I'm not [22:44.520 --> 22:45.880] going to stop and help some [22:46.500 --> 22:53.020] man. Mr. Baldwin then [22:53.020 --> 22:54.700] confronted her with apparently [22:54.700 --> 22:56.660] in the first interview she had [22:56.660 --> 23:00.320] described the coat as tan later [23:00.320 --> 23:02.960] it became blue. She agreed [23:02.960 --> 23:05.100] that calling the coat tan was [23:05.100 --> 23:07.300] inaccurate she her explanation [23:07.300 --> 23:09.060] for this was that the coat [23:09.060 --> 23:11.020] was always blue but she said [23:11.020 --> 23:12.580] tan and she thinks the reason [23:12.580 --> 23:14.600] why she said tan was just [23:14.600 --> 23:17.360] because he was so covered in [23:17.360 --> 23:22.380] blood. She said specifically [23:22.380 --> 23:24.280] Mr. Baldwin was suggesting [23:24.880 --> 23:26.620] you change your story after [23:26.620 --> 23:27.760] you saw the photo of Bridge [23:27.760 --> 23:29.400] Guy. You know basically you [23:29.400 --> 23:30.820] got contaminated by the photo [23:30.820 --> 23:32.400] this is certainly a theme the [23:32.400 --> 23:33.540] defense has raised with the [23:33.540 --> 23:35.160] other eyewitnesses he's raising [23:35.160 --> 23:37.200] it again with her. She said [23:37.200 --> 23:40.200] that she specifically told the [23:40.200 --> 23:41.880] police she didn't want to be [23:41.880 --> 23:43.300] contaminated by the photo she [23:43.300 --> 23:44.580] didn't want to be shown the [23:44.580 --> 23:45.900] photo I believe it might have [23:45.900 --> 23:47.160] even been reflected in the [23:47.160 --> 23:49.040] transcript that she made that [23:49.040 --> 23:51.760] made that comment. But it was [23:51.760 --> 23:52.840] everywhere she said it was [23:52.840 --> 23:54.100] everywhere all over town it [23:54.100 --> 23:55.340] was very hard not to see it [23:55.340 --> 23:57.100] was posted like it's still up [23:57.100 --> 23:58.800] apparently in in some places. [24:00.000 --> 24:02.260] So you know Bridge Guy was [24:02.260 --> 24:06.420] was was pervasive. And according [24:06.420 --> 24:08.120] to Mr. Baldwin despite her not [24:08.120 --> 24:09.900] wanting to see the photo of [24:09.900 --> 24:11.420] the bridge guy the police [24:11.420 --> 24:13.100] officer during this interview [24:13.100 --> 24:15.200] put it on the table and left [24:15.200 --> 24:16.660] it in front of her for the [24:16.660 --> 24:17.880] entire for the entire [24:17.880 --> 24:19.640] interview. She didn't remember [24:19.640 --> 24:21.360] if that happened so we didn't [24:21.360 --> 24:23.060] get specific confirmation of [24:25.020 --> 24:29.400] that. She she she was [24:29.400 --> 24:32.240] defensive. She did not like the [24:32.240 --> 24:33.740] suggestion that her [24:33.740 --> 24:35.520] description was not accurate [24:35.520 --> 24:37.520] or that her description had [24:37.520 --> 24:39.280] changed. She was very [24:39.280 --> 24:40.500] insistent her story has [24:40.500 --> 24:42.760] never changed. She was [24:42.760 --> 24:44.180] describing herself as being [24:44.180 --> 24:46.080] very anxious as a result of [24:46.080 --> 24:47.140] all of this she didn't want [24:47.140 --> 24:49.480] anything to do with it. You [24:49.480 --> 24:50.940] know she's basically here as a [24:50.940 --> 24:52.320] witness because she has to be [24:52.320 --> 24:53.880] because she's under subpoena. [24:58.110 --> 24:59.810] In the second interview [24:59.810 --> 25:01.830] according to Mr. Baldwin she [25:01.830 --> 25:04.050] said that he was wearing a [25:04.050 --> 25:05.890] brown sweater and had a [25:05.890 --> 25:09.190] little curl to his hair. So [25:09.190 --> 25:10.950] she said that there might [25:10.950 --> 25:12.030] have been a little hair [25:12.030 --> 25:13.610] sticking out. It was a [25:13.610 --> 25:14.950] little hard to say whether [25:14.950 --> 25:16.930] it was curly or not but just [25:16.930 --> 25:18.190] her recollection was that [25:18.190 --> 25:19.290] there was a little hair [25:19.290 --> 25:21.290] sticking out. Mr. Baldwin [25:21.290 --> 25:22.450] then said during this [25:22.450 --> 25:24.150] interview you said he had [25:24.150 --> 25:27.330] effeminate eyes. She seemed [25:27.330 --> 25:29.210] to be quite offended by [25:29.210 --> 25:31.790] this. Not quite clear to [25:31.790 --> 25:33.610] me why that would be but [25:33.610 --> 25:35.590] she was very emphatic. No [25:35.590 --> 25:38.390] I never said that. Mr. [25:38.530 --> 25:39.550] Baldwin asked would it [25:39.550 --> 25:40.610] help to review the [25:40.610 --> 25:42.850] transcript to refresh your [25:42.850 --> 25:44.230] recollection and she said [25:44.230 --> 25:52.830] no I'm good. He indicated [25:52.830 --> 25:54.190] she seemed to have said [25:54.190 --> 25:55.650] in the interview that she [25:55.650 --> 25:57.190] didn't have her phone with [25:57.190 --> 26:00.750] her on the stand. She was [26:00.750 --> 26:02.850] kind of dismissive of that. [26:02.930 --> 26:03.970] No of course I had my [26:03.970 --> 26:05.590] phone. I would not have [26:05.590 --> 26:06.590] left. I don't feel like I [26:06.590 --> 26:07.850] would have left the house [26:07.850 --> 26:09.850] and drove all around and [26:09.850 --> 26:11.950] everything without my phone. [26:12.330 --> 26:15.410] And also my phone pinged [26:15.410 --> 26:16.830] off of the tower. That's [26:16.830 --> 26:18.010] part of how they were able [26:18.010 --> 26:20.570] to contact me and I know [26:20.570 --> 26:22.010] they went into the tower [26:22.010 --> 26:23.770] nearby and pulled off [26:23.770 --> 26:25.410] every person who pinged off [26:25.410 --> 26:29.550] that tower. This was a [26:29.550 --> 26:30.850] question to me. Did she [26:30.850 --> 26:32.350] open the door to geofence [26:32.350 --> 26:35.430] data now? The geofence [26:35.430 --> 26:36.650] data has been excluded [26:36.650 --> 26:40.110] from court. Not for a [26:40.110 --> 26:41.270] particularly good reason [26:41.270 --> 26:42.910] as far as I can tell. The [26:42.910 --> 26:44.410] reason is because it's [26:44.410 --> 26:46.790] unreliable and the gist [26:46.790 --> 26:48.110] of why it's unreliable [26:48.110 --> 26:49.730] is because the tower [26:49.730 --> 26:51.750] coverage is essentially the [26:51.750 --> 26:53.190] entire town of Delphi. [26:56.250 --> 26:57.870] Geofence data is far more [26:57.870 --> 26:59.890] than tower data. So I'm [26:59.890 --> 27:01.670] not quite sure that I [27:01.670 --> 27:02.390] understand this [27:02.390 --> 27:04.050] rationale. Geofence data [27:04.970 --> 27:06.630] typically goes to a [27:06.630 --> 27:08.430] provider. Like if you're [27:08.430 --> 27:10.110] on an iPhone, it's [27:10.110 --> 27:10.970] going to go to Apple. If [27:10.970 --> 27:11.650] you're on an Android, [27:11.790 --> 27:12.710] it's going to go to [27:12.710 --> 27:13.910] Google. And what they [27:13.910 --> 27:14.970] do is they pull the [27:17.130 --> 27:18.550] location information, the [27:18.550 --> 27:19.590] location services [27:19.590 --> 27:21.470] information off of all [27:21.470 --> 27:22.410] phones that have it [27:22.410 --> 27:24.210] enabled, that they carry, [27:24.770 --> 27:26.090] and they're able to [27:26.090 --> 27:27.290] sort through all of that [27:27.290 --> 27:28.830] data for a particular [27:28.830 --> 27:30.990] geographic area and then [27:30.990 --> 27:33.210] provide to police these [27:33.210 --> 27:36.190] are the cell users [27:38.670 --> 27:40.730] who can be placed, [27:40.870 --> 27:42.050] their location services [27:42.050 --> 27:43.230] on their phone, place [27:43.230 --> 27:44.150] them within this [27:44.150 --> 27:45.890] particular geographic area. [27:47.170 --> 27:49.150] So tower data can be [27:49.150 --> 27:50.290] a source of that, but [27:50.290 --> 27:52.250] GPS data is also, [27:52.270 --> 27:53.390] it's maybe even a [27:53.390 --> 27:54.750] bigger source for [27:54.750 --> 27:57.570] geofence data. So I [27:57.570 --> 27:59.170] really don't, I don't [27:59.170 --> 28:00.270] understand this ruling. [28:00.390 --> 28:01.390] It's another one that [28:01.390 --> 28:02.930] to me is quite highly [28:02.930 --> 28:05.070] problematic, but I [28:05.070 --> 28:06.210] don't, I wasn't at [28:06.210 --> 28:07.530] that, the evidentiary [28:07.530 --> 28:08.630] hearing where kind of [28:08.630 --> 28:09.390] all of this stuff was [28:09.390 --> 28:10.790] hashed out. So I [28:10.790 --> 28:12.090] don't have a lot of [28:12.090 --> 28:13.090] information about what, [28:13.190 --> 28:14.170] if any, details they [28:14.170 --> 28:15.330] had about Mr. Allen's [28:15.330 --> 28:17.870] location and whether the [28:17.870 --> 28:19.870] exclusion of geofence [28:19.870 --> 28:21.410] data information is [28:21.410 --> 28:22.610] likely to be considered [28:22.610 --> 28:23.990] harmless error on appeal [28:23.990 --> 28:25.350] or not. I think it's [28:25.350 --> 28:26.530] certainly an error, [28:26.590 --> 28:28.190] but it's not necessarily [28:28.190 --> 28:29.750] one that is going to [28:29.750 --> 28:30.690] get you a new trial [28:30.690 --> 28:31.830] if it's not something [28:31.830 --> 28:34.290] that is relatively [28:34.290 --> 28:39.650] exculpatory. So that [28:39.650 --> 28:41.530] was an information [28:41.530 --> 28:43.170] that she had volunteered [28:43.170 --> 28:45.170] that instantly raised [28:45.170 --> 28:46.330] a flag for me. [28:46.330 --> 28:47.270] Boy, I think we may [28:47.270 --> 28:48.090] have opened the door [28:48.090 --> 28:49.470] to the geofence. [28:50.750 --> 28:52.290] By this point, the [28:52.290 --> 28:53.010] witness is quite [28:53.010 --> 28:55.810] hostile. She is very [28:55.810 --> 28:56.950] angry. She is not [28:56.950 --> 28:59.110] happy with Mr. Baldwin [28:59.110 --> 29:04.630] at all. He wanted to [29:04.630 --> 29:06.050] kind of pin down [29:06.050 --> 29:08.070] exactly her ability [29:08.070 --> 29:09.430] to make the observation [29:09.430 --> 29:10.570] of the man that she [29:10.570 --> 29:12.590] described. So they [29:12.590 --> 29:13.470] nailed down the speed. [29:13.590 --> 29:14.510] She said she was going [29:14.510 --> 29:16.670] about 35 miles an hour. [29:16.670 --> 29:17.410] She wasn't looking [29:17.410 --> 29:18.430] at the gauge, but [29:18.430 --> 29:19.450] obviously she wasn't [29:19.450 --> 29:21.510] speeding. And she said [29:21.510 --> 29:23.650] she saw him for about [29:23.650 --> 29:26.350] 30 seconds, which seems [29:26.350 --> 29:27.990] like quite a long time [29:27.990 --> 29:29.630] for driving on a road [29:29.630 --> 29:31.270] and passing somebody. [29:31.890 --> 29:33.450] I don't think I don't [29:33.450 --> 29:35.170] think that's probably [29:35.170 --> 29:36.270] just my opinion, [29:36.470 --> 29:37.830] probably a very reliable [29:37.830 --> 29:41.630] estimate. I mean, [29:41.690 --> 29:42.390] that that would that [29:42.390 --> 29:44.150] would be 30, 30 seconds [29:44.150 --> 29:45.170] is a long time. [29:45.170 --> 29:45.910] And she's driving [29:45.910 --> 29:47.350] at 35 miles an hour. [29:47.350 --> 29:48.590] That you would be creeping, [29:48.610 --> 29:50.130] creeping, creeping past. [29:50.210 --> 29:51.050] And that's just not [29:51.050 --> 29:51.790] consistent with what [29:51.790 --> 29:52.450] she described. [29:54.310 --> 29:55.430] She described the man [29:55.430 --> 29:56.610] as in his 30s, [29:56.610 --> 29:57.830] 40s or 50s. [29:57.830 --> 29:58.930] She said he caught [29:58.930 --> 30:00.110] her attention because [30:00.110 --> 30:01.090] he was suspicious. [30:01.090 --> 30:02.210] He was wearing [30:02.210 --> 30:04.350] extreme layers for the day, [30:04.350 --> 30:05.130] for the conditions [30:05.130 --> 30:05.890] of the day, [30:05.930 --> 30:06.930] which is consistent [30:06.930 --> 30:08.210] with the descriptions [30:08.210 --> 30:10.490] we heard from the other [30:10.490 --> 30:11.710] witnesses about Bridge [30:11.710 --> 30:12.670] Guy as well. [30:12.810 --> 30:14.530] And just by being [30:14.530 --> 30:15.770] being very weird. [30:15.770 --> 30:18.910] So Mr. Baldwin pushed back [30:18.910 --> 30:21.370] on this 30 seconds to see him, [30:21.410 --> 30:22.310] you know, this opportunity [30:22.310 --> 30:23.550] to see him for 30 seconds [30:23.550 --> 30:24.650] because in her deposition [30:24.650 --> 30:26.330] she had said a mere instant. [30:26.790 --> 30:29.170] And she said that's [30:29.170 --> 30:31.750] yeah, that's 30 seconds to her [30:31.750 --> 30:33.490] is is would be consistent [30:33.490 --> 30:34.950] with being a mere instant. [30:37.770 --> 30:39.930] And then she she said [30:39.930 --> 30:43.030] that she didn't have time. [30:43.230 --> 30:43.950] You know, it wasn't like [30:43.950 --> 30:47.290] an extended staring at him, [30:47.410 --> 30:48.050] inspection of him [30:48.050 --> 30:48.970] or anything like that. [30:49.070 --> 30:50.070] She says she didn't have time [30:50.070 --> 30:51.130] to count freckles [30:51.130 --> 30:52.510] or to see if he had [30:52.510 --> 30:53.470] effeminate eyes. [30:53.650 --> 30:55.890] She was still she was still unhappy [30:56.430 --> 30:58.230] about that effeminate eyes [30:58.230 --> 31:00.550] comment and had to had to kind [31:00.550 --> 31:01.330] of throw it back at him. [31:01.370 --> 31:02.910] So once again, [31:03.550 --> 31:05.590] Mr. Baldwin pushed back on that, [31:05.850 --> 31:07.910] asked her, sure, you want to review [31:07.910 --> 31:09.610] the transcript to try [31:09.610 --> 31:10.790] to refresh your recollection. [31:10.870 --> 31:12.610] And once again, no, I'm good. [31:13.430 --> 31:14.770] I just don't feel like [31:14.770 --> 31:15.610] that probably went [31:15.610 --> 31:17.230] over well with the jury. [31:17.530 --> 31:21.090] I just I can't imagine it did. [31:21.650 --> 31:25.170] It came across as probably [31:26.350 --> 31:28.350] knowing that she was [31:28.350 --> 31:29.310] it was going to be wrong, [31:29.410 --> 31:31.050] that it was going to be in there [31:31.050 --> 31:32.830] and that then she was going [31:32.830 --> 31:34.850] to be confronted with [31:34.850 --> 31:36.390] having to reconcile. [31:36.750 --> 31:38.650] She apparently did say this thing [31:38.650 --> 31:39.850] during her deposition, [31:39.930 --> 31:42.390] but it's it just it really [31:42.610 --> 31:43.390] it really did. [31:43.390 --> 31:45.710] It seemed like it offended her [31:45.710 --> 31:47.170] that the idea [31:47.170 --> 31:48.370] that that she would say that [31:48.370 --> 31:50.730] that he had effeminate eyes. [31:53.490 --> 31:54.710] So then Ms. [31:54.810 --> 31:55.550] Diener did redirect. [31:55.630 --> 31:56.930] That was that was all across. [31:57.350 --> 31:59.210] She she went back to redirect. [32:00.430 --> 32:01.970] Ms. Diener clarified that [32:01.970 --> 32:02.990] in the interview [32:02.990 --> 32:04.050] where she talked about him [32:04.050 --> 32:05.190] wearing a tan sweater, [32:05.190 --> 32:07.470] that it was more of a hoodie [32:08.110 --> 32:10.070] that she had she had intended [32:10.070 --> 32:11.750] to describe like a pullover [32:12.390 --> 32:14.850] pullover sweater that had a tan hood. [32:15.950 --> 32:17.650] She had seen a hat on him [32:17.650 --> 32:19.210] and it seemed like an odd hat. [32:19.250 --> 32:21.290] She said she's a baseball cap girl. [32:21.990 --> 32:23.130] That's pretty much [32:23.130 --> 32:24.630] what she's familiar with. [32:24.930 --> 32:26.110] And so the man [32:26.110 --> 32:27.770] the man that she saw [32:27.770 --> 32:29.770] his hat had a bill, [32:31.970 --> 32:34.390] but she could have mistaken [32:34.390 --> 32:37.830] his hair for part of part of the hat, [32:37.910 --> 32:39.050] like she could have [32:39.050 --> 32:41.590] just maybe not not seen [32:41.590 --> 32:43.070] exactly where where one [32:43.070 --> 32:44.770] ended and the other one end. [32:45.210 --> 32:46.470] She other one began. [32:46.570 --> 32:48.770] She said she saw the bottom of his ears, [32:48.770 --> 32:50.930] but he was he was hunched. [32:50.930 --> 32:52.230] And so she wasn't sure [32:52.230 --> 32:54.970] if perhaps maybe the hat was. [32:56.630 --> 32:58.330] Being being moved [32:58.330 --> 33:00.610] or just being being compressed [33:00.610 --> 33:02.370] or something, maybe being lifted. [33:02.370 --> 33:03.830] And that was part of what was [33:03.830 --> 33:05.710] making it look weird to her. [33:06.470 --> 33:08.550] She said his shoulders were hunched, [33:08.550 --> 33:10.090] his hands were in his pocket. [33:11.290 --> 33:12.730] His posture, she described, [33:12.810 --> 33:14.370] is just weird and sketchy. [33:14.410 --> 33:16.230] And when asked to draw, [33:16.270 --> 33:17.050] draw, you know, [33:17.170 --> 33:18.810] draw that out a little bit more, [33:18.890 --> 33:19.770] she said it was like [33:19.770 --> 33:22.010] he was kind of curled in on himself. [33:22.010 --> 33:23.290] And she sort of demonstrates [33:23.290 --> 33:24.870] like a very, you know, [33:25.030 --> 33:27.030] shoulders curled, curled forward [33:27.030 --> 33:28.530] kind of posture. [33:31.110 --> 33:33.970] She reiterated on redirect [33:33.970 --> 33:36.070] that she had been ID'd from a ping [33:36.070 --> 33:38.530] and that the police had checked [33:38.530 --> 33:39.550] all of the numbers. [33:39.950 --> 33:41.130] They and she only knew this [33:41.130 --> 33:43.590] because all of her family lives nearby. [33:43.850 --> 33:46.490] And she had talked to people [33:46.490 --> 33:49.250] on social media about how all of them [33:49.250 --> 33:51.370] had been pinged [33:51.370 --> 33:53.310] during during this investigation. [33:53.310 --> 33:56.050] And then one of the during one [33:56.050 --> 33:56.830] of either the first [33:56.830 --> 33:58.110] or the second interview, [33:58.270 --> 34:00.510] the officer had also said [34:00.510 --> 34:02.690] that her phone had been pinged. [34:04.690 --> 34:06.570] So, yeah, this [34:07.130 --> 34:09.750] this really seems like an open door to me [34:10.870 --> 34:12.050] because it's again, [34:12.170 --> 34:13.810] now it's just something that's out there [34:13.810 --> 34:14.650] and the jury is going [34:14.650 --> 34:16.010] to have questions about it. [34:16.010 --> 34:17.590] What does that mean about Mr. Allen? [34:17.710 --> 34:18.750] Did Mr. Allen also [34:18.750 --> 34:20.150] ping off of this tower? [34:20.430 --> 34:21.290] Because that's something [34:21.290 --> 34:22.610] that we would want to know [34:23.210 --> 34:24.550] if we want to know [34:24.550 --> 34:25.990] if he's bridge guy or not. [34:27.490 --> 34:29.070] If he did ping off the tower, [34:29.330 --> 34:31.790] it sounds like the issue is that [34:31.790 --> 34:33.710] that's not particularly helpful [34:33.710 --> 34:35.510] full information because it would just mean [34:35.510 --> 34:37.990] he's he's, you know, in Delphi. [34:38.070 --> 34:39.050] This is the same issue [34:39.050 --> 34:40.010] we're dealing with. [34:40.050 --> 34:40.710] If you're following [34:40.710 --> 34:42.250] Koberger out in Oregon [34:42.250 --> 34:43.610] or out in Idaho, [34:44.050 --> 34:45.710] I'm still a little sleep deprived, [34:45.810 --> 34:48.270] but not not quite as bad out in Idaho. [34:50.270 --> 34:51.330] It came up during [34:51.330 --> 34:52.710] the probable cause affidavit. [34:52.910 --> 34:54.210] He's his police are trying [34:54.210 --> 34:55.290] to ascribe locations [34:55.290 --> 34:56.910] to him based on pings. [34:56.930 --> 35:00.450] But these cell towers are very [35:01.250 --> 35:02.850] there's not very many of them. [35:02.890 --> 35:04.330] They're they're very spaced out. [35:04.330 --> 35:05.810] They don't have a lot of overlap, [35:05.990 --> 35:08.370] so they're not able to triangulate [35:08.370 --> 35:09.510] location very well. [35:09.530 --> 35:10.470] And that means a ping [35:11.050 --> 35:13.130] can only really, really put you [35:13.130 --> 35:15.650] in the the the radius [35:15.650 --> 35:17.630] of that particular [35:17.630 --> 35:19.990] the coverage of that particular tower. [35:19.990 --> 35:21.550] And the coverage can be [35:21.550 --> 35:22.810] it can be 10 miles. [35:22.810 --> 35:23.890] It can be 20 miles. [35:23.890 --> 35:25.150] It can be like 30 miles. [35:25.170 --> 35:26.750] Some of them can be quite large. [35:26.750 --> 35:28.510] So it's not a particularly [35:28.510 --> 35:30.670] precise piece of information [35:30.670 --> 35:32.750] if you just have a ping on a phone. [35:35.310 --> 35:37.030] During the second interview, [35:37.110 --> 35:38.850] she said she had noticed [35:38.850 --> 35:41.390] that a portion of the interview [35:41.390 --> 35:43.870] with the officer was missing. [35:44.510 --> 35:47.230] She said it was one to one and a half hours, [35:47.250 --> 35:49.170] and she saw this because she was [35:49.170 --> 35:50.650] reviewing her deposition [35:50.650 --> 35:52.590] in preparation for her testimony. [35:52.950 --> 35:54.770] This also seemed to confirm to me [35:54.770 --> 35:55.770] that there had been witness [35:55.770 --> 35:57.350] preparation that took place [35:57.350 --> 35:59.730] because that's pretty typical. [36:00.470 --> 36:01.950] What will happen is the prosecutor [36:01.950 --> 36:03.090] will bring the witness in [36:03.090 --> 36:04.650] if they've given prior statements [36:04.650 --> 36:06.650] or taken depositions [36:06.650 --> 36:07.730] or something like that. [36:07.950 --> 36:09.990] Maybe they gave a written statement to police. [36:10.110 --> 36:11.670] Anything like that that's on record, [36:11.770 --> 36:13.870] the prosecutor will give it to them [36:13.870 --> 36:15.430] so that they can review it [36:15.430 --> 36:17.390] and make sure that they remember [36:17.390 --> 36:19.070] what they said before [36:19.070 --> 36:20.790] before they go in to testify. [36:27.030 --> 36:29.690] So she reiterated that during that interview [36:29.690 --> 36:31.790] during the missing session [36:31.790 --> 36:33.970] is when she told the police officer [36:33.970 --> 36:35.250] about the mud and blood. [36:35.250 --> 36:38.130] She said she was provided a picture [36:38.130 --> 36:40.190] of the bridge guy that [36:40.890 --> 36:43.290] was already seen in the media [36:43.290 --> 36:46.130] and she had marked on that [36:46.130 --> 36:47.370] during the interview [36:47.370 --> 36:49.610] where she had seen [36:49.610 --> 36:50.770] where she had seen [36:50.770 --> 36:52.050] mud and blood on him. [36:52.750 --> 36:54.130] So that was published [36:54.130 --> 36:55.510] to the jury, this exhibit. [36:56.470 --> 36:58.070] She described it [37:00.250 --> 37:02.490] like we couldn't see the markings. [37:02.550 --> 37:04.490] Once again, this is a paper exhibit. [37:04.490 --> 37:07.470] It was provided to the jury with copies. [37:08.490 --> 37:10.070] One of the things that's really annoying [37:10.070 --> 37:12.450] is that they have an overhead projector [37:12.450 --> 37:14.670] there at the prosecutor's table. [37:14.670 --> 37:16.950] And I know this because [37:16.950 --> 37:18.550] when I stuck around at court [37:18.550 --> 37:19.970] yesterday evening, [37:19.970 --> 37:21.490] waiting to see if I was going to get [37:21.490 --> 37:22.990] to see the big photo of bridge guy, [37:23.990 --> 37:25.650] I saw them I saw them working with it. [37:25.650 --> 37:27.990] I saw them like messing around with it. [37:27.990 --> 37:29.610] So they have the capability [37:29.610 --> 37:31.350] to be able to put these things up [37:31.350 --> 37:32.830] on the big screen where everybody [37:32.830 --> 37:34.170] is able to see them. [37:34.170 --> 37:35.730] But they're not doing that. [37:35.770 --> 37:37.590] And they didn't do that with this photo. [37:38.230 --> 37:39.630] So I don't know exactly [37:39.630 --> 37:40.750] what is on the photo [37:40.750 --> 37:42.530] and exactly how she marked it. [37:42.530 --> 37:44.810] But what she described is that there [37:44.810 --> 37:46.290] it sounds like there's a couple [37:46.290 --> 37:47.930] of markings on the leg. [37:48.530 --> 37:50.350] And so according to her, [37:50.350 --> 37:52.490] she was indicating that the bottom [37:52.490 --> 37:54.870] part of the leg is where it was. [37:54.870 --> 37:56.270] There was mostly blood [37:56.970 --> 37:58.570] and then above [37:59.330 --> 38:00.970] above that was mud. [38:01.190 --> 38:03.470] And then she had drawn another line [38:03.470 --> 38:05.290] to indicate the hat. [38:06.170 --> 38:08.450] And she said the coat was dark enough [38:08.450 --> 38:09.310] that she wouldn't have [38:09.310 --> 38:10.550] seen blood on the coat. [38:10.670 --> 38:12.430] It was just caked with mud. [38:12.650 --> 38:13.750] He was she described him [38:13.750 --> 38:15.050] as extremely muddy, [38:15.230 --> 38:17.190] like so muddy that she, [38:17.830 --> 38:19.290] you know, thought he had [38:19.290 --> 38:21.170] certainly been down by the water. [38:21.210 --> 38:23.390] Again, maybe it had fallen off the cliff. [38:25.810 --> 38:26.930] And that. [38:29.730 --> 38:31.770] There were the blood [38:31.770 --> 38:33.610] that she saw was like drops. [38:33.770 --> 38:35.590] It was like splatters of blood. [38:38.590 --> 38:39.070] And. [38:41.890 --> 38:43.350] It wasn't at this point, [38:43.350 --> 38:45.290] I think it was later, I'll get to that. [38:46.290 --> 38:48.950] So then they just went through, [38:49.050 --> 38:51.450] she reiterated in the first interview, [38:51.630 --> 38:52.350] according to her, [38:52.350 --> 38:53.770] she said mud and blood. [38:54.250 --> 38:56.390] Second interview, she said mud and blood. [38:56.450 --> 38:57.930] And then in the third interview, [38:57.930 --> 38:59.930] they were focused on the blood at this point [38:59.930 --> 39:01.610] because that's what it was important. [39:01.610 --> 39:04.850] And so didn't talk about didn't talk about mud. [39:04.870 --> 39:08.050] That was her explanation for for what transpired. [39:10.310 --> 39:11.950] Mr. Baldwin then had recross. [39:12.850 --> 39:14.570] And so he clarified [39:15.240 --> 39:16.710] the reason you didn't say mud [39:16.710 --> 39:19.630] in the interview is just because of what you were asked. [39:20.370 --> 39:22.130] And and she said it was just [39:22.130 --> 39:23.550] that was just what they focused on [39:23.550 --> 39:25.550] when they questioned me in the interview. [39:27.970 --> 39:29.670] She he reiterated, [39:29.670 --> 39:32.910] you said mud 13 times in the second interview. [39:33.150 --> 39:35.150] And then he's he's challenging her now. [39:35.310 --> 39:38.570] He's getting a little bit more pointed in his questioning. [39:38.610 --> 39:40.910] He's still not mean, but he's he's. [39:41.950 --> 39:43.590] Maybe she would see it that way. [39:43.590 --> 39:47.710] He is being more, more pointed a little bit more. [39:49.810 --> 39:51.190] Somewhat more aggressive. [39:51.590 --> 39:55.050] So he says, you said mud 13 times in the second interview. [39:55.050 --> 39:58.210] And at that point, the video was cut off [39:59.630 --> 40:03.810] and that just happens to be when the only time, [40:03.930 --> 40:05.870] you know, during the interview that that you mentioned, [40:05.970 --> 40:10.330] you mentioned the blood and and that we just have to take your word for it, [40:10.330 --> 40:11.910] that that's what happened in this interview. [40:11.910 --> 40:15.790] And yes, she was she was in agreement with that. [40:18.360 --> 40:21.040] We then had some jury questions. [40:25.570 --> 40:28.690] What was your age in February of 2017? [40:28.690 --> 40:33.290] She sat there on the stand and ran ran through the math in her head. [40:33.350 --> 40:37.170] But she came up with 27 or 28 or possibly 26. [40:37.990 --> 40:39.950] They asked, how wide is the road? [40:40.390 --> 40:43.030] She described it as a fairly typical country road. [40:44.150 --> 40:49.550] So to two pickups can cross, can, you know, pass each other on the road. [40:49.610 --> 40:52.230] But she said one of them, if they're crossing, [40:52.370 --> 40:55.130] one of them would have their wheels off the road. [40:55.130 --> 40:59.150] So it sounds like she's describing a road that's a little bit narrow [40:59.150 --> 41:02.710] than a standard, you know, one lane each way kind of road. [41:04.170 --> 41:06.670] I don't know that I agree with that. [41:06.670 --> 41:09.150] At least the portion of the road that I went on, [41:09.190 --> 41:12.530] it was it was just a perfectly normal, normal width road. [41:14.650 --> 41:18.670] The jury asked, can you describe why you say you saw blood spatters? [41:18.870 --> 41:22.590] She seemed a little defensive at this, too, she said, because I saw them. [41:24.730 --> 41:27.730] And then they asked, how do you how did you tell blood? [41:27.810 --> 41:29.370] How could you tell blood from mud? [41:30.310 --> 41:35.950] Her description then at this point was that the man was wearing whitewashed jeans. [41:36.390 --> 41:41.070] This is very different from the description that we got from the other witnesses [41:41.070 --> 41:45.070] who saw the bridge guy. They were very clear, dark, dark pants. [41:46.470 --> 41:49.890] But according to her, it was it was whitewashed blue jeans. [41:49.890 --> 41:53.450] And so that's why the blood showed up in particular [41:56.010 --> 41:58.070] on the on the jeans. [42:00.170 --> 42:03.550] She was asked how close to the man, how close to the man were you? [42:03.570 --> 42:04.650] Like, how close did you get? [42:04.710 --> 42:09.290] She said less than three feet away, less than three feet away. [42:09.830 --> 42:13.970] That is a very hard one for me to buy, because if you're blowing past [42:13.970 --> 42:17.630] a human being in your car at thirty five miles an hour [42:17.630 --> 42:21.030] and he's only three feet away, you're like you're coming real close [42:21.030 --> 42:22.110] to hitting that guy. [42:22.530 --> 42:26.390] And that's again, just not not really what she had described. [42:26.790 --> 42:29.070] She had described he's walking on the side of the road. [42:29.090 --> 42:30.810] She's walking over in her lane. [42:30.950 --> 42:32.590] She's driving by over in her lane. [42:32.590 --> 42:35.950] So you'd expect at least the distance of a lane [42:36.830 --> 42:38.590] on the road between them. [42:39.690 --> 42:44.350] So the attorneys get to follow up to the to the jury questions if they want to. [42:44.430 --> 42:47.430] So Mr. Baldwin followed up to this question, said, [42:47.430 --> 42:51.850] you previously testified that he was twenty feet away and that [42:51.850 --> 42:55.510] and she explained, well, you know, that was at the long point [42:55.510 --> 42:58.570] and that as we approached, the distance got got shorter. [42:59.690 --> 43:03.350] And and then at this point, [43:04.450 --> 43:08.830] she she she concluded with a comment. [43:09.030 --> 43:12.870] She she was very irritated at this point and really let it show. [43:13.730 --> 43:16.310] She said essentially, I'm driving. [43:16.310 --> 43:20.970] I didn't get out a ruler and be like, hey, you're 17 inches away. [43:21.050 --> 43:23.450] She's like demonstrating this facing the jury. [43:24.210 --> 43:26.730] Very animated, very angry. [43:28.310 --> 43:31.930] Of course, I didn't do that, you know, like it's it's it's stupid. [43:31.930 --> 43:34.170] I mean, that's not what anybody asked. [43:34.950 --> 43:36.070] No, I was driving. [43:39.050 --> 43:41.630] That was the conclusion of her testimony. [43:44.670 --> 43:47.270] I felt I felt kind of bad for her. [43:47.270 --> 43:50.710] I don't think it probably went over very well with the jury. [43:50.810 --> 43:57.250] It was just very defensive, very confrontational, very angry. [43:59.730 --> 44:01.830] And resistant to [44:03.210 --> 44:06.770] what seemed to be, you know, I mean, twice. [44:06.870 --> 44:10.250] She got refreshed that, no, you didn't say the word, you know, [44:10.250 --> 44:13.490] you didn't say the word in here in the transcript to the point where [44:13.490 --> 44:16.950] when she's being, you know, offered the transcript again [44:16.950 --> 44:19.910] to corroborate this, you know, a feminine statement. [44:20.550 --> 44:22.550] No, she put she wouldn't even allow it. [44:22.550 --> 44:24.310] And it was just kind of left at that. [44:24.670 --> 44:28.590] Now, the defense did not put those transcripts [44:28.590 --> 44:32.310] into evidence or put the page where she had said that into evidence. [44:34.950 --> 44:37.690] This may have been may have been an oversight, [44:37.810 --> 44:38.890] may have been a mistake. [44:39.170 --> 44:41.010] I would have I would have done that. [44:41.050 --> 44:43.310] I mean, I'm assuming that this is allowed in Indiana [44:43.310 --> 44:46.970] because that's fairly standard impeachment with a prior inconsistent statement. [44:48.890 --> 44:51.410] Typically, the way your prior statement comes up, [44:51.550 --> 44:52.910] it comes up one of two ways. [44:53.050 --> 44:56.290] If you don't remember making a statement, [44:56.530 --> 44:59.110] then you can review it to refresh your recollection. [44:59.190 --> 45:02.430] And in that case, the document or whatever it is you're looking at, [45:02.670 --> 45:03.930] it doesn't come into evidence. [45:04.390 --> 45:06.950] It's just there to serve as a memory trigger. [45:07.270 --> 45:11.490] And then you will either, you know, do you remember making that statement now? [45:11.510 --> 45:12.950] Well, if you read it there, you know, [45:12.950 --> 45:14.530] typically most people will say yes. [45:14.750 --> 45:16.010] Sometimes they'll still say no. [45:16.230 --> 45:17.970] Well, it says that, but I don't remember it. [45:19.650 --> 45:23.230] So then you move on to do you deny it? [45:23.270 --> 45:27.710] Do you deny that you said that if you watched any part of the Alec Baldwin [45:27.710 --> 45:31.370] trial, Alex Spiro was a genius. [45:31.610 --> 45:36.510] He was absolutely extremely skilled at laying his foundation [45:36.510 --> 45:40.290] to be able to admit a prior inconsistent statement. [45:40.290 --> 45:41.550] And that's how you do it. [45:41.550 --> 45:45.270] If somebody if somebody just says, I don't know, I don't know if I said, [45:45.370 --> 45:48.430] I don't remember if I said it, then you haven't. [45:48.450 --> 45:51.430] You don't have enough of a foundation because they haven't denied [45:51.430 --> 45:52.270] making the statement. [45:52.310 --> 45:54.390] So he would just come out and explicitly ask them, [45:54.470 --> 45:55.990] do you deny making that statement? [45:56.250 --> 45:57.950] And then they got to think about it. [45:58.970 --> 46:00.990] Yes, if they say yes, deny it. [46:01.330 --> 46:04.150] Then you get to put that you get to put that transcript into evidence. [46:04.150 --> 46:06.710] And then it's there in black and white. [46:06.950 --> 46:09.710] The jury knows it's there in black and white. [46:09.710 --> 46:11.290] They can read it for themselves and see, [46:11.290 --> 46:13.870] oh, yeah, it does say effeminate eyes. [46:14.570 --> 46:19.130] If you don't deny it, then the jury just has the ability to accept [46:19.130 --> 46:22.350] that as essentially a concession that, well, yeah, you probably did say it. [46:22.370 --> 46:23.870] Then you're not denying that you said it. [46:23.950 --> 46:26.470] The guy's attorney is saying that you said it. [46:26.530 --> 46:29.170] If you didn't say it, you probably would deny it. [46:30.030 --> 46:33.790] So Alex Spyro did an outstanding job of illustrating [46:33.790 --> 46:38.110] a very effective way of being able to handle that because it can be tricky. [46:38.570 --> 46:39.550] If you watch Dep V. [46:39.670 --> 46:43.870] Heard, you know, one of the issues there was was was issues [46:43.870 --> 46:47.150] with dealing with foundation for prior inconsistent statements. [46:47.150 --> 46:50.310] We lost a whole bunch of Jennifer Howell testimony that was [46:50.310 --> 46:54.830] that was quite compelling testimony because Johnny Depp's [46:54.830 --> 46:57.590] attorneys failed to lay the foundation to impeach [46:58.570 --> 47:01.990] Amber Heard's sister Whitney with her prior inconsistent statements. [47:04.050 --> 47:06.190] So Mr. Baldwin didn't do that. [47:06.190 --> 47:08.990] He didn't didn't get the actual transcript in evidence. [47:09.350 --> 47:13.490] I only wonder if that was a mistake just because now they don't know [47:13.490 --> 47:16.950] for sure if she if she said it or not, they don't know what to make of it. [47:17.410 --> 47:21.390] But that said, her demeanor, unfortunately, it just really [47:21.390 --> 47:25.850] it really didn't do her any favors by the time she was concluding concluding. [47:25.930 --> 47:27.410] I mean, like I said, she was angry. [47:27.450 --> 47:30.990] She was very visibly angry and, you know, demonstrative. [47:31.250 --> 47:33.850] I, you know, I didn't have a ruler or something. [47:34.910 --> 47:39.830] And even the jury seemed like they were a little, wow, like this is [47:39.830 --> 47:41.990] this is this is this is a lot. [47:46.150 --> 47:49.650] I don't think they're probably going to give it a lot of weight. [47:49.870 --> 47:54.050] It's not that I think anybody is necessarily like, oh, she's lying [47:54.050 --> 47:58.390] or anything like that. She probably is, you know, very well intentioned, [47:59.770 --> 48:03.410] sincerely believes, you know, what she's what she's testifying to. [48:03.930 --> 48:07.450] But it's just too difficult to reconcile with what seemed to be, [48:07.450 --> 48:11.010] you know, what seemed to be the inconsistencies from the prior statement. [48:11.130 --> 48:14.310] So not clear that the jury is is necessarily [48:14.310 --> 48:16.950] going to give her testimony a lot of weight. [48:19.690 --> 48:21.330] Give me a second here. [48:24.470 --> 48:26.130] Still getting caught up on my hydration. [48:27.550 --> 48:30.650] So our next witness was Dr. [48:30.890 --> 48:33.990] Roland Kaur, he was the forensic pathologist. [48:34.770 --> 48:37.010] He is the one who did the autopsy. [48:37.010 --> 48:41.750] And he was so extremely soft spoken [48:41.750 --> 48:46.590] that we had once again, a really, really hard time hearing them. [48:47.750 --> 48:51.010] So fortunately, most of what we had, the hardest time [48:51.010 --> 48:54.150] hearing was just kind of the background information [48:54.150 --> 48:56.810] that you kind of always get with these witnesses. [48:57.090 --> 49:00.450] They explain what forensic forensic pathology is. [49:00.470 --> 49:03.170] What are the subspecialties? How does it work? [49:03.210 --> 49:03.890] What do you do? [49:03.930 --> 49:06.990] What's your personal background in training and experience? [49:06.990 --> 49:07.790] And so forth. [49:09.970 --> 49:11.510] So he described all that. [49:11.610 --> 49:13.510] I got some kind of bits and pieces of it. [49:14.830 --> 49:16.470] Basically, he had been... [49:18.510 --> 49:22.410] He had done a few different things. [49:23.050 --> 49:28.070] He had mentioned, like at some point, he was doing some surgical work in stents. [49:28.370 --> 49:31.630] It sounded like he was saying that he moonlighted for that, [49:31.650 --> 49:34.550] but he was doing residencies. [49:34.550 --> 49:37.670] He did a residency in anatomical pathology [49:37.670 --> 49:39.890] and a residency in clinical pathology. [49:40.550 --> 49:44.930] And at some point, he was encouraged to consider running for coroner [49:44.930 --> 49:48.470] because he had the experience of doing these autopsies. [49:48.470 --> 49:52.750] So he ultimately served four terms as a coroner. [49:52.810 --> 49:56.750] He didn't catch which county, but because of term limits, [49:56.810 --> 49:59.390] I guess they have constitutional term limits in Indiana. [49:59.650 --> 50:02.270] The way it worked is he served two terms, [50:02.390 --> 50:04.030] then he had to sit out for two terms. [50:04.430 --> 50:08.230] And then he was able to serve two more terms after that. [50:08.430 --> 50:10.230] And so in the course of that, he [50:11.870 --> 50:15.830] continued to do autopsies and did them for multiple counties. [50:20.840 --> 50:25.000] He described himself as always trying to teach during an autopsy. [50:25.380 --> 50:28.220] They're often attended by law enforcement and stuff like that. [50:28.240 --> 50:31.260] He did seem to describe himself as as kind of an educator. [50:31.300 --> 50:35.020] And we got that got that vibe very much on the stand. [50:35.260 --> 50:36.820] He had a lot to say. [50:36.820 --> 50:38.740] He liked he did like to talk, [50:39.960 --> 50:41.120] but it was OK. [50:41.280 --> 50:46.540] I mean, you know, most of at least what I could hear was was was [50:46.540 --> 50:48.000] I found it very interesting. [50:49.540 --> 50:54.240] And so he does sometimes go to crime scenes because of his training. [50:54.260 --> 50:57.220] He will he will sometimes see things that others don't. [50:57.220 --> 50:58.360] But it does not. [50:58.820 --> 51:01.960] There's no indication that he went to this particular crime scene. [51:03.300 --> 51:06.560] So he then described the process of the autopsy. [51:06.560 --> 51:10.520] This is something that we have heard before in many murder cases. [51:12.400 --> 51:14.920] First gets contextual information about the case, [51:17.180 --> 51:19.060] transports the body to the morgue. [51:19.420 --> 51:21.420] The body is on the autopsy table. [51:21.540 --> 51:22.400] They open the bag. [51:22.540 --> 51:24.940] They observe the condition of the body in the clothing. [51:26.380 --> 51:29.700] They then observe the skin, hair color, [51:29.860 --> 51:33.120] look for any obvious wounds, signs of trauma and things like that. [51:33.640 --> 51:36.000] At that point, they remove the person from the bag. [51:36.000 --> 51:38.220] They undress them and photograph them. [51:38.460 --> 51:41.220] They inspect the clothing, look for like holes in the clothing, [51:41.260 --> 51:46.660] like a bullet hole, a cut where perhaps a weapon would have been blood, [51:46.900 --> 51:48.180] obviously, things like that. [51:48.720 --> 51:51.820] They note for make notes of any insect activity [51:51.820 --> 51:54.860] or other secondary damage like that. [51:56.740 --> 51:58.360] Next step, they clean the body. [51:58.440 --> 52:02.560] But he stopped to clarify that before you get to that point, [52:02.560 --> 52:07.200] in a case where they are going to do a sexual assault exam, a kit, [52:07.240 --> 52:11.100] they do that first because the washing the body is, you know, [52:11.200 --> 52:13.940] going to get things wet and going to move stuff around. [52:13.940 --> 52:17.620] And so you would increase increase the risk of contamination [52:17.620 --> 52:19.860] or potentially losing evidence. [52:20.200 --> 52:22.720] So they do those kit components first. [52:22.860 --> 52:25.860] We got a very important answer here. [52:26.220 --> 52:30.440] The kit is what contains the the [52:31.400 --> 52:35.720] basically materials to do the clippings, the fingernail clippings, [52:36.080 --> 52:39.440] the swabs, the scrapings and stuff like that. [52:39.940 --> 52:42.120] So that is in the sexual assault kit. [52:42.160 --> 52:45.960] That's why we didn't hear about it when the crime scene investigator [52:46.480 --> 52:50.200] the other day, Olahi, testified about all those items [52:50.200 --> 52:53.180] that were put into evidence because he just identified the kit [52:53.180 --> 52:55.860] and they are components of the kit. [52:56.620 --> 52:58.400] So enormous relief to me here. [52:58.400 --> 53:00.200] This was not like some oversight [53:00.840 --> 53:05.140] that that was actually was actually part of the autopsy, [53:05.140 --> 53:08.320] although there was a wrinkle that I'll get to in a moment. [53:09.640 --> 53:12.100] Next step, they measure wounds, make illustrations. [53:12.400 --> 53:14.360] They note what type of wound it is. [53:14.360 --> 53:16.280] Is this an abrasion? Is this a contusion? [53:16.380 --> 53:17.700] Is this an incision? [53:18.380 --> 53:19.560] That that type of thing. [53:20.820 --> 53:24.400] They take a blood sample from the femoral vein. [53:25.180 --> 53:28.440] He went through a he is very much an educator. [53:28.480 --> 53:31.840] Went through kind of a long description about why you do it that way. [53:31.840 --> 53:33.800] It's a less contaminated sample of blood. [53:33.800 --> 53:37.480] And then there's this phenomenon after death where [53:38.240 --> 53:41.680] because of the how the blood settles, that if you're doing [53:41.680 --> 53:45.340] like a toxicology screen or alcohol or something like that, [53:45.740 --> 53:47.480] certain kinds of drugs, I guess they can. [53:47.560 --> 53:49.380] It's like it can change the concentration. [53:49.780 --> 53:52.600] It makes it seem like maybe they have more of the substance [53:52.600 --> 53:54.800] in their blood than in fact, they do. [53:54.960 --> 54:00.180] And it's just based on the way that the blood functions after after death. [54:00.480 --> 54:05.160] So the femoral vein apparently helps, you know, that not be an issue. [54:05.460 --> 54:09.820] And then after all of this, they proceed to the internal exam, [54:09.820 --> 54:14.260] the dissection that helps them to get more information about the wounds, [54:14.400 --> 54:16.740] to make better identifications of the wounds. [54:17.120 --> 54:21.300] They note if there is disruption to any of the organs, if they're normal. [54:23.520 --> 54:26.280] Described how they do the incisions and stuff, [54:26.280 --> 54:31.080] he made a point of emphasizing the way that he does the incisions, [54:31.080 --> 54:33.220] particularly the abdominal incision. [54:33.340 --> 54:36.680] You hear about the traditional Y shaped incision. [54:37.220 --> 54:38.720] He says he does it differently. [54:38.800 --> 54:41.820] He does it more like like football posts [54:42.680 --> 54:45.980] because that makes it easier [54:46.600 --> 54:51.400] to seal up for and handle for the funeral director [54:51.400 --> 54:55.420] for purposes of being able to make the person presentable. [54:55.940 --> 55:02.220] And likewise described how he does the the incision on the scalp [55:02.220 --> 55:06.080] because they peel back the scalp, basically remove the skull cap. [55:06.100 --> 55:07.260] That's how they get to the brain. [55:07.280 --> 55:10.820] And he does it in a way that makes it easy to put the put [55:10.820 --> 55:13.540] all that back into place and suture it up. [55:13.560 --> 55:17.400] And then the person still remains presentable. [55:18.280 --> 55:22.980] Said he's done at this point in his career between seventy seven [55:22.980 --> 55:26.060] hundred and seventy eight hundred autopsies. [55:26.060 --> 55:29.320] That is a lot, a lot of autopsies. [55:29.320 --> 55:30.620] I didn't do the math. [55:32.220 --> 55:34.880] One a day for 20 years, something like that. [55:34.880 --> 55:37.840] I mean, that's a lot. That's a lot. [55:40.420 --> 55:45.400] So we he obviously had photographs from the autopsies that were taken. [55:45.400 --> 55:49.500] We did view some of those, clarified that there were tons [55:49.500 --> 55:51.620] of photographs taken during the autopsy. [55:51.740 --> 55:54.400] He goes through and selects the ones [55:55.040 --> 55:58.920] that tend to be most pertinent for what he is going to [55:58.920 --> 56:01.140] be talking about in his testimony. [56:02.480 --> 56:07.020] So basically the things that were the things that were in significant. [56:07.520 --> 56:09.200] And so there were no [56:09.200 --> 56:12.260] photos that were displayed or introduced [56:12.260 --> 56:14.940] during the internal examination. [56:15.480 --> 56:17.940] We only had photos from the external examination. [56:23.140 --> 56:27.080] So he did the two autopsies at this point. [56:27.560 --> 56:32.580] He is up at the screen because we're going to start going through. [56:32.980 --> 56:35.120] Well, actually, we weren't quite there yet. [56:35.540 --> 56:38.420] He was doing a little bit of a little bit of a summary. [56:38.680 --> 56:40.800] So I did catch most of what he had to say, [56:40.800 --> 56:43.540] but there were some little parts that I couldn't hear. [56:44.240 --> 56:48.560] But so he did describe the first autopsy that he performed. [56:48.720 --> 56:49.580] He did on Abby. [56:50.340 --> 56:53.240] So the first thing he does is estimate height and weight. [56:53.780 --> 56:57.160] He made sure to distinguish it's actually not a height measurement. [56:57.160 --> 57:01.020] It's a length measurement because the person is lying on the table [57:01.020 --> 57:02.400] and they do a length. [57:03.040 --> 57:05.000] He also does not weigh the person. [57:05.020 --> 57:06.840] He does a weight estimate. [57:06.840 --> 57:09.580] And he says that's just based on his experience, [57:09.580 --> 57:11.240] how many of these that he's done. [57:11.240 --> 57:14.260] He has the ability to give a pretty good [57:15.300 --> 57:17.640] estimate just based on, [57:18.700 --> 57:21.940] you know, the the person's the person's physique, [57:22.840 --> 57:24.860] for lack of a better way to put it. [57:24.920 --> 57:30.180] So Abby was 64 inches and weighed about 95 pounds. [57:30.880 --> 57:34.920] She had been in a black hoodie, pair of blue jeans, a gray, [57:34.980 --> 57:40.640] gray, a gray sports bra and a black like regular bra. [57:40.640 --> 57:43.200] And what he described as a pink camisole, [57:44.320 --> 57:51.040] the external wound across her neck was approximately five centimeters long. [57:52.560 --> 57:56.820] He said that when muscle fibers are cut, they tend to retract. [57:57.140 --> 57:59.660] And so that causes gaping of the wound. [57:59.680 --> 58:04.020] That is very consistent with what we saw in the photos of both girls. [58:04.080 --> 58:06.540] These wounds were very, very gaping. [58:06.760 --> 58:10.500] He measured it as as about two to two and a half inches wide. [58:10.640 --> 58:12.440] With with that gaping. [58:12.840 --> 58:16.740] So it was it was it was very dramatic, just a single wound. [58:17.720 --> 58:19.440] So he used the kit. [58:19.720 --> 58:23.380] He described he described what the kit entails. [58:23.520 --> 58:25.040] There's a blood sample. [58:25.140 --> 58:26.560] There is a vaginal wash. [58:26.580 --> 58:30.340] There is vaginal swab, oral swab, hand swab, [58:30.800 --> 58:34.200] an external genital swab, an internal genital swab, [58:34.780 --> 58:38.740] the fingernail scrapings, hair, pubic hair, [58:39.900 --> 58:42.000] a saline syringe. [58:42.360 --> 58:43.600] I'm not sure exactly. [58:43.960 --> 58:47.160] I'm not sure if that was related to the to the vaginal wash or not. [58:48.100 --> 58:51.460] There's combing of the of the pubic hair to look for, you know, [58:51.540 --> 58:53.680] like debris or whatever. [58:54.080 --> 58:58.660] So a lot is is wrapped up in this in this kit that, [58:58.660 --> 59:01.020] you know, when we just see the kits coming into evidence, [59:01.540 --> 59:03.760] you know, doesn't doesn't give you all of this detail. [59:03.760 --> 59:06.720] So now we have all this detail about what that entails. [59:06.720 --> 59:09.200] The wrinkle with the scrapings [59:09.200 --> 59:13.160] is that he said Abby was she bit her nails very severely. [59:13.160 --> 59:17.500] And so they were so short, they were not able to take scrapings. [59:18.860 --> 59:22.860] That said, from the way he described the kit, [59:22.960 --> 59:25.060] they would still swab the hands. [59:25.920 --> 59:30.500] So that that presumably was done. [59:30.520 --> 59:32.220] I'm sure we'll hear more about that [59:32.220 --> 59:34.700] when we start getting into the witnesses from the lab, [59:34.700 --> 59:38.700] the analysts who handled this evidence and processed it, [59:38.720 --> 59:41.280] processed it and tested it and are going to come in [59:41.280 --> 59:42.460] and tell us about the results. [59:43.380 --> 59:48.180] The hairs that were found on her, he did say hairs multiple. [59:49.360 --> 59:54.360] So we already knew about the about the hair on her finger. [59:54.720 --> 01:00:00.280] There had been testimony about another another fiber [01:00:01.040 --> 01:00:03.960] that was found on on Abby. [01:00:03.960 --> 01:00:08.000] I'm going to see if I can find it real quick in my notes from yesterday. [01:00:08.320 --> 01:00:11.600] I don't want to spend too much time trying to hunt it down. [01:00:12.540 --> 01:00:16.920] But I just would it would be helpful, I think, to [01:00:18.160 --> 01:00:20.040] remember where that was. [01:00:24.340 --> 01:00:26.600] A strand of fibrous. [01:00:26.700 --> 01:00:29.840] Oh, no, that was from Libby's hand. Let's see. [01:00:43.960 --> 01:00:47.500] A trace fiber from Abby's upper left arm. [01:00:48.480 --> 01:00:49.640] That was the other one. [01:00:49.700 --> 01:00:54.380] So we had we had the hair, the fiber that had been entangled in the finger. [01:00:54.800 --> 01:00:57.860] But then this other one was a trace fiber. [01:00:57.940 --> 01:01:02.100] It was just mentioned a trace fiber from Abby's upper left arm. [01:01:02.120 --> 01:01:05.260] And so I'm not sure if that's what they mean, [01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:09.280] if that's a hair, if that's why we're getting hairs plural. [01:01:11.080 --> 01:01:14.040] But he did address them, said that they had been transferred [01:01:14.040 --> 01:01:15.100] from another source. [01:01:15.100 --> 01:01:19.460] All of that stuff went into went into the box. [01:01:19.800 --> 01:01:22.780] He said there was no injury [01:01:22.780 --> 01:01:27.460] that was suggestive of traumatic sexual contact. [01:01:27.600 --> 01:01:30.480] So nothing, nothing overt that he saw that would, [01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:33.720] you know, indicate traumatic sexual contact. [01:01:33.740 --> 01:01:36.120] He says that does not mean that there was none. [01:01:36.120 --> 01:01:39.020] This is very important because that is [01:01:40.100 --> 01:01:42.260] comes up a lot in these types of cases. [01:01:42.780 --> 01:01:47.760] Um, injury is not a very good metric for consent [01:01:47.760 --> 01:01:52.780] or not consent or just, you know, really, really, really anything at all. [01:01:54.500 --> 01:01:57.140] These parts of the human body are elastic. [01:01:57.500 --> 01:02:02.860] They're they're made to be, you know, fairly, fairly resistant to injury. [01:02:03.420 --> 01:02:07.600] I was kind of curious because I just I don't know [01:02:07.600 --> 01:02:10.220] if there's actually good, good science on this or not. [01:02:10.220 --> 01:02:13.720] Some of you in the chat may know the Tanner scale. [01:02:13.980 --> 01:02:18.200] There's there's a Tanner scale that establishes it kind of sets [01:02:19.640 --> 01:02:20.680] sexual maturity. [01:02:20.900 --> 01:02:24.340] It helps you stage where a person is at in sexual maturity, [01:02:24.560 --> 01:02:26.340] like in going through puberty [01:02:27.740 --> 01:02:32.180] from, you know, very, very immature, very undeveloped to fully mature. [01:02:32.420 --> 01:02:37.120] There's different identifiable stages, five, five for both men and for women [01:02:37.680 --> 01:02:41.060] that can just kind of help you identify where where somebody is on the scale. [01:02:41.080 --> 01:02:47.720] I don't know if there is like good information about whether being lower [01:02:47.720 --> 01:02:53.580] on the Tanner scale would tend to maybe produce more injury. [01:02:53.620 --> 01:02:56.280] I'm just thinking like, yes, adult women, you know, [01:02:57.460 --> 01:02:59.940] they can take a pounding. I just said it. [01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:02.440] Sorry, I said it. They're just made. [01:03:02.440 --> 01:03:05.040] That's what we're made for, you know, but young women are not. [01:03:05.040 --> 01:03:09.160] And so I don't know if there's any real correlation with injury there or not. [01:03:09.900 --> 01:03:17.040] But in general, it's very common to have cases, non-consensual, no injury, [01:03:17.440 --> 01:03:21.500] also very common to have cases, consensual and injury. [01:03:22.340 --> 01:03:28.600] So they're just not necessarily a good indicator of whether there was contact or not. [01:03:28.940 --> 01:03:33.040] We're probably going to want to rely mostly on the swabs from the kit [01:03:33.040 --> 01:03:34.980] to be able to make that determination. [01:03:35.560 --> 01:03:40.060] But still, you know, I am very pleased to hear, relieved to hear, glad to hear [01:03:40.060 --> 01:03:45.920] no overt signs of injury because, you know, that that would be that would be extremely bad. [01:03:48.460 --> 01:03:49.640] So we saw no trauma. [01:03:49.840 --> 01:03:52.780] He described the wound as an incised wound. [01:03:53.100 --> 01:03:56.160] So meaning it's a cut. He distinguished this. [01:03:56.500 --> 01:03:59.940] Being an educator, he distinguished this from a laceration. [01:03:59.940 --> 01:04:05.320] A laceration is a blunt force injury. And so that is technically a tearing. [01:04:06.240 --> 01:04:11.180] That's distinct from an incision, which is something that is a sharp force injury. [01:04:11.180 --> 01:04:13.300] It comes from a cutting instrument. [01:04:14.680 --> 01:04:18.040] So he described that three types of sharp force injuries. [01:04:18.220 --> 01:04:22.340] There is a incision, which is something that is longer than it is deep. [01:04:22.420 --> 01:04:24.780] There's a stab that is deeper than it is long. [01:04:24.800 --> 01:04:29.100] And then there is a chop where, you know, essentially something is something is taken off. [01:04:31.100 --> 01:04:36.040] So they can tell the difference between an incision and a laceration because the [01:04:36.040 --> 01:04:40.740] laceration has abraded edges and the incision is clean. [01:04:41.460 --> 01:04:46.540] So the only wound on Abby at all was this single incision. [01:04:46.620 --> 01:04:48.520] They looked for defensive wounds. [01:04:49.100 --> 01:04:53.740] He described how a person is just instinctively, when they're being assaulted, [01:04:53.880 --> 01:04:58.460] they're going to take a defensive posture. They're going to try to defend themselves. [01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:04.280] And so they will typically always look for injuries to the extremities. [01:05:04.980 --> 01:05:09.480] So we saw no defensive wounds, no blunt force trauma. [01:05:10.780 --> 01:05:16.520] There was something that was very interesting, had not heard about this before. [01:05:17.620 --> 01:05:25.820] He said there was a very faint linear mark across her face as if cloth or duct tape [01:05:25.820 --> 01:05:28.980] had been there perhaps across her mouth. [01:05:29.660 --> 01:05:37.940] He said there was no adhesive residue, however, so didn't sound like it was tape. [01:05:39.320 --> 01:05:45.120] Otherwise, there's no ligature, no wound like that, no sign of restraint. [01:05:46.120 --> 01:05:52.400] Couldn't tell specifically the timing of when this mark would have been made. [01:05:54.760 --> 01:05:59.820] Um, because it was very faint, he just placed it as perimortem, [01:05:59.860 --> 01:06:05.140] meaning right around the time frame of the death process. [01:06:09.100 --> 01:06:15.440] Said the wound, you couldn't really tell the direction, but there was some indication [01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:21.880] because on one side of the wound, this was a horizontal wound, one side of the wound, [01:06:21.880 --> 01:06:27.040] there was just a slightly different shape and almost a little bit of, [01:06:27.040 --> 01:06:29.390] almost like a bruise, almost a little bit of a bruise. [01:06:31.500 --> 01:06:40.680] And so his assumption was that the direction of the wound went right to left. [01:06:41.500 --> 01:06:44.940] That the knife would have entered first on the right, it would have caused that [01:06:44.940 --> 01:06:49.520] that different shape and the small bit of bruising at the point of entry and then [01:06:49.520 --> 01:06:55.140] is drawn to the left and that's what causes the wound. [01:06:56.000 --> 01:07:03.240] The internal injury that resulted from that was a partial transection of the left jugular vein. [01:07:05.300 --> 01:07:17.280] He then described Libby's injuries. Libby was cut multiple times. She had a [01:07:17.280 --> 01:07:24.440] transected right carotid, a partially transected right carotid artery and then a... [01:07:27.060 --> 01:07:33.780] Actually, I forget. One was partial and the other was full. I think the right carotid was [01:07:33.780 --> 01:07:40.180] partial. The left carotid artery and the left jugular vein were fully transected, [01:07:40.200 --> 01:07:47.260] meaning they were completely cut through. So he described the difference between these [01:07:48.280 --> 01:07:55.540] the carotids are where you feel your pulse in your neck. You have three of them on [01:07:55.540 --> 01:08:02.540] each side. So two carotids. There's a common carotid and then they split into an internal [01:08:02.540 --> 01:08:09.860] and an external carotid. And so those three pieces, common internal and external, on both [01:08:09.860 --> 01:08:15.900] sides of the body. And then the jugular is right next to the carotid. The artery is what, [01:08:15.900 --> 01:08:21.220] as we know from, you know, basic biology, the carotid is what brings the oxygenated blood [01:08:21.220 --> 01:08:28.420] from the heart. The jugular vein is what brings the, you know, no longer oxygenated blood [01:08:28.420 --> 01:08:36.400] back into the heart from the extremities. So because the arteries are carrying the volume of [01:08:36.400 --> 01:08:43.440] blood from the heart, they are much thicker. He described them as muscular and elastic, [01:08:43.440 --> 01:08:51.980] whereas the veins are not thick like that. So the arteries, because of that quality, [01:08:52.120 --> 01:08:59.040] they're similar to the muscle where they will contract when they're cut. They have that [01:08:59.040 --> 01:09:07.760] elasticity to them that then reacts when they get cut. We took our recess at this point. [01:09:08.680 --> 01:09:13.720] Judge is being very good about these regular recesses. Now that we have the jury, [01:09:14.420 --> 01:09:19.550] the jury is getting their regular breaks. So we all benefit from that. [01:09:25.130 --> 01:09:31.250] When we came back on the bench, everybody in the gallery had been asked, like, [01:09:31.370 --> 01:09:35.150] can you hear him? I was asking some of the media people get the front row at the courtroom. [01:09:35.230 --> 01:09:38.390] So I was asking some of the folks I've been talking to in the media, you know, [01:09:38.390 --> 01:09:41.330] were you able to hear anything he said? Like, we couldn't hear anything at all. [01:09:41.370 --> 01:09:49.310] Nobody could really hear. Nobody could really hear this man. And so everyone was kind of, [01:09:49.310 --> 01:09:53.210] you know, hoping is somebody going to say something? Will somebody please, you know, [01:09:53.290 --> 01:10:00.310] ask him to ask him to bring up the volume because it's just extremely difficult to hear, [01:10:00.370 --> 01:10:04.490] to hear a lot of what he's saying. Some of this stuff, like these details, the carotid [01:10:04.490 --> 01:10:08.110] artery, the jugular vein and stuff like that, I had to kind of fill in after the fact [01:10:08.110 --> 01:10:13.270] after we got a little bit more context, a little bit more detail. And then I was able to like, [01:10:13.370 --> 01:10:17.110] okay, that's what he was that's what he was saying back then. Really, really difficult [01:10:17.110 --> 01:10:21.370] to follow it all in real time. He gave all kinds of details that I'm sure that I missed [01:10:21.370 --> 01:10:26.110] because we just could not hear them. So when we came back in from recess, [01:10:26.350 --> 01:10:33.210] we got a statement from the judge. It was, it was, it was, it's just that a lot I thought. [01:10:33.550 --> 01:10:37.830] So she addresses the fact that we can't hear them. Her statement is that the media has the [01:10:37.830 --> 01:10:44.350] best seats in the house. So we trust that they will report the facts, the facts that are being [01:10:44.350 --> 01:10:51.130] elicited and that it's important for the jury and the parties to be able to hear. But to [01:10:51.130 --> 01:10:56.770] all of the rest of us, apologies to everyone in the audience behind the credentialed media, [01:10:57.730 --> 01:11:07.370] those of us who can't hear. So just a little nod there to the preferable treatment that the [01:11:07.370 --> 01:11:14.570] seat and calling out that credentialed piece. Not us, not us unofficial peons over here. [01:11:14.690 --> 01:11:19.050] Those credentialed folks get the special treatment. So they get to be positioned where [01:11:19.050 --> 01:11:27.150] they can hear. We saw at this point, this is when we started transitioning to looking to [01:11:27.150 --> 01:11:33.750] seeing the visual, the visual exhibits. So this was helpful because the doctor got up [01:11:33.750 --> 01:11:38.530] and went over to by the screen so that he could use the pointer and demonstrate things. [01:11:38.530 --> 01:11:43.450] And that meant he had to project his voice over to the jury. And the rest of us were now [01:11:43.450 --> 01:11:51.410] able to hear significantly better because he did that. So we saw some diagrams of the injuries [01:11:51.410 --> 01:11:56.110] before we saw the photographs of them. We did see the photographs of them. [01:11:57.650 --> 01:12:04.950] Uh, so now I have my notes a little bit. So yeah, so the earlier part, [01:12:04.950 --> 01:12:08.990] ignore what I said before, because I do think I got it wrong when I could hear him better. [01:12:10.410 --> 01:12:16.030] Abby had a partial transection of the jugular vein, like I indicated it was on her left [01:12:16.030 --> 01:12:22.670] side. Libby had a partial transection of the left carotid. So the left side was a [01:12:22.670 --> 01:12:28.190] partial and then the full transection of the carotid and the jugular vein on the right hand [01:12:28.190 --> 01:12:40.400] side. We saw several photos of Abby. And it wasn't clear to me exactly why we saw some of [01:12:40.400 --> 01:12:50.960] these photos. There was an interesting comment that was made. So we saw Abby on the autopsy [01:12:50.960 --> 01:12:56.300] table. She is still clothed at this point. She's actually still in the like in the bag with the [01:12:56.300 --> 01:13:02.100] sheet. The sheet that she had been wrapped in is still underneath her. You can see some pooling [01:13:02.100 --> 01:13:09.200] some pooling of blood on the sheet. There's smears. He's pointing out there's smears of [01:13:09.200 --> 01:13:18.420] blood on her right arm. And his explanation for that is that that was probably from the [01:13:19.500 --> 01:13:27.820] coming off. I'm wondering if he meant the clothes going on. I'm not sure. [01:13:28.980 --> 01:13:32.360] Everything else being equal if he had just said that I would assume he meant when they took [01:13:32.360 --> 01:13:36.400] them off in the autopsy. But the problem is is that we are now you know the autopsy took [01:13:36.400 --> 01:13:43.240] place on December or on February the 15th. So we're now somewhere between you know two [01:13:43.240 --> 01:13:49.820] and three days or one to two days after like full days after they they were dead. [01:13:50.300 --> 01:13:53.900] And so you would think that the blood on the arm would have already dried. There would not [01:13:53.900 --> 01:13:59.620] be a smear from from removing the clothing during the autopsy. So I don't know if he [01:13:59.620 --> 01:14:07.220] was making a reference to being clothed and unclothed. That does make sense. It definitely [01:14:07.220 --> 01:14:12.200] makes sense as an explanation. If she had blood and then was clothed that would cause [01:14:12.200 --> 01:14:17.980] a smear. That's something that I will be filing away in the back of my mind for when [01:14:17.980 --> 01:14:23.580] we get those those evidence those evidence technicians and those analysts in to hopefully [01:14:23.580 --> 01:14:28.660] tell us about the clothing and trace evidence on the clothing and what we might be able to [01:14:28.660 --> 01:14:47.220] ascertain from it. We saw the the measurement of the wound and the description of the the [01:14:48.000 --> 01:14:54.660] possibly from from the entry. More than likely in his view a right to left. [01:14:55.120 --> 01:15:01.940] So it leaves a little bit of a blunt impact as the the hilt strikes the skin is the way he [01:15:01.940 --> 01:15:08.180] described it. It was about an inch or so deep. Some muscle fibers were cut but you know not [01:15:08.180 --> 01:15:14.820] not a ton. Some subcutaneous fat was cut. But and then you know confirming the partial [01:15:14.820 --> 01:15:19.640] transsection of the of the of the jugular of the jugular vein. [01:15:21.060 --> 01:15:28.480] Then a photo where they basically stretched the wound back to what its normal configuration [01:15:28.480 --> 01:15:34.140] would have been because of that retraction pulls it open so they stretched it out [01:15:34.140 --> 01:15:41.460] to kind of show you know how it matched back together. And that I think was showing [01:15:41.460 --> 01:15:52.960] like the true the true length of the wound. We saw a very close up of the wound to just show [01:15:52.960 --> 01:16:00.420] exactly where where it's placed. It's just to the center line like just to the left [01:16:00.420 --> 01:16:06.660] of the of the center line of her throat. And like you said it's it's five centimeters long. [01:16:06.760 --> 01:16:12.060] It's about two inches long. It's it's it's quite a long quite a long wound. And on this [01:16:12.060 --> 01:16:17.180] photo is where we were we're able to see the the the marks that he pointed out the linear [01:16:17.180 --> 01:16:24.720] marks. So now this this time previously he had suggested maybe you know taper or cloth [01:16:24.720 --> 01:16:29.140] or something like that covering her mouth. But this time he pointed out that they were [01:16:29.140 --> 01:16:33.740] actually below there there were there there was like the primary mark and there was a [01:16:33.740 --> 01:16:39.680] little bit of a mark below it. So it was more on her chin. And so now he was suggesting [01:16:39.680 --> 01:16:44.700] that saying that it suggested that her mouth was not covered. [01:16:46.460 --> 01:16:53.020] I found that confusing. I wasn't quite sure how to reconcile his testimony from before the [01:16:53.020 --> 01:16:59.940] break and his testimony after the break as far as the mouth being covered. Still no indication [01:16:59.940 --> 01:17:12.220] of any kind of any kind of you know adhesive. So he didn't seem to think it was tape but didn't [01:17:12.220 --> 01:17:20.100] rule out cloth. And so then with that raised a question of in my mind was the handkerchief. [01:17:20.120 --> 01:17:26.940] They had recovered a handkerchief from the from the from the creek when they were recovering [01:17:26.940 --> 01:17:31.180] all of the other items of clothing the things that had you know come at least a little bit [01:17:31.180 --> 01:17:36.880] way of a way downstream and gotten entangled in the roots. Handkerchief was among those things. [01:17:37.420 --> 01:17:43.500] And so I wondered maybe you know possibly was this some kind of gag? [01:17:44.380 --> 01:17:48.960] One of the things they didn't do in the case that I wish they had because it would have [01:17:48.960 --> 01:17:55.000] been helpful at this point was to have somebody identify like somebody from the family identify [01:17:55.000 --> 01:18:00.220] these pieces of clothing as whether they belonged to one of the girls or not. [01:18:01.220 --> 01:18:04.760] I would have liked to have known this handkerchief. Where did it come from? Did [01:18:04.760 --> 01:18:08.140] it belong to one of the girls? Because if it didn't belong to one of the girls then [01:18:08.140 --> 01:18:14.120] there's a possibility it belonged to the killer. And I just thought of that because [01:18:14.120 --> 01:18:21.120] you know the possibility of it being used as a gag or some type of restraint you know some [01:18:21.120 --> 01:18:26.160] you know maybe it was wiggled down. I just I don't know I'm [01:18:26.160 --> 01:18:30.540] trying to make sense of the evidence that's that's presented and I don't have a good [01:18:30.540 --> 01:18:35.820] explanation for why she would have some kind of you know cloth or tape or something along [01:18:35.820 --> 01:18:42.720] the bottom part of her chin but not covering her mouth. The suggestion though of the mouth [01:18:42.720 --> 01:18:47.920] being covering that that was that was very new very new information for me very new [01:18:47.920 --> 01:18:55.440] suggestion that that was part of the story of the crime seems difficult if that is the case [01:18:55.440 --> 01:19:00.420] again to reconcile with the the state's theory of what happened of a basically what was going [01:19:00.420 --> 01:19:06.360] to be an attempted rape that then he got interrupted and so killed them instead you know [01:19:06.360 --> 01:19:13.860] to uh because he was short on time. I don't I don't know when when that that part of it the [01:19:13.860 --> 01:19:18.980] covering the mouth would have taken place and also uh this this was only Abby. Abby was the [01:19:18.980 --> 01:19:22.800] only one who had these marks that he didn't describe any similar marks like that on Libby. [01:19:24.800 --> 01:19:31.140] So anyway at this point uh in the in the interview uh in the uh testimony he's indicating [01:19:31.140 --> 01:19:35.300] he doesn't think it indicates that her mouth was covered it was below that. [01:19:35.700 --> 01:19:41.800] We then saw a picture um of Abby's back that was there to show the the lividity the [01:19:41.800 --> 01:19:48.980] liver mortis um and she she did have some you could you could see um he explained that uh [01:19:51.880 --> 01:19:58.600] because the body like the the blood vessels are like depressurized essentially you know at death [01:19:58.600 --> 01:20:03.660] the heart stops beating and so the the blood is not is not you know moving through those [01:20:03.660 --> 01:20:09.460] those uh those vessels anymore that when there's pressure on them like from the point of contact [01:20:09.460 --> 01:20:15.100] the ground or if there is something like on the ground that they're on, that the blood will not [01:20:15.100 --> 01:20:20.280] tend to pool in those areas, it will pool around them. It will move to the low points where there [01:20:20.280 --> 01:20:29.860] are no pressure. So she had some spots on her back that he was indicating appeared to be indicative [01:20:31.560 --> 01:20:39.440] of lying on her back and potentially being on some debris. So according to him, because of [01:20:39.440 --> 01:20:45.760] sets in, it would indicate she had been lying on her back for some point, some time. [01:20:47.380 --> 01:20:54.900] What we didn't get an answer to and I didn't, nobody asked and I was curious about was whether [01:20:55.440 --> 01:21:02.800] any steps were taken through the collection or storage, you know, until the time that the [01:21:02.800 --> 01:21:11.180] autopsy occurred to prevent the liver mortis from progressing. Like if they, for example, [01:21:11.400 --> 01:21:18.100] you know, bring her in and have her in, you know, like a refrigerated type of setting, [01:21:18.720 --> 01:21:24.620] is that going to, my understanding is that that's going to, you know, at least slow those [01:21:24.620 --> 01:21:32.320] processes substantially. So the implication, you know, he didn't specify. I'm just, you know, [01:21:32.320 --> 01:21:36.960] think that would be normal process. So I think that would be the case. But so he [01:21:36.960 --> 01:21:44.800] didn't specify like when, what time the bodies arrived. So we just don't really know how much [01:21:44.800 --> 01:21:50.400] of this would have progressed after the bodies had already had already been recovered. It [01:21:50.400 --> 01:21:55.900] would have been nice to have had that documented at the scene. We had one photograph [01:21:55.900 --> 01:22:04.280] at the scene that showed Libby being lifted to the side. They were inspecting the ground [01:22:04.280 --> 01:22:09.800] underneath her. She was very, very covered in debris. So it was hard. It was kind of, [01:22:09.820 --> 01:22:15.420] it was hard to see anything. There wasn't any obvious levitity in those photographs, [01:22:15.420 --> 01:22:20.980] but it's also not clear that we would be able to see the spots where levitity would [01:22:20.980 --> 01:22:27.280] have occurred. So that is another just, I would have liked to have seen that it would have been, [01:22:27.280 --> 01:22:33.540] it would have been helpful. He said that because it takes several hours for the levitity [01:22:33.540 --> 01:22:42.880] to become visible, but if it becomes fixed, it has to be in that fixed position for about [01:22:43.380 --> 01:22:49.580] eight hours. So that gives us a timeframe of basically being on the back for eight hours, [01:22:49.580 --> 01:22:58.460] but we don't know when that started and how long that continued after the bodies had been [01:22:58.460 --> 01:23:09.670] collected by the crime scene investigators. Libby then, oh, there was one other detail [01:23:09.670 --> 01:23:18.930] from Abby's autopsy, which was a small abrasion, very minor abrasion on her lips. [01:23:20.810 --> 01:23:24.990] Didn't tell us any more than that. Nothing about like what might have caused it, [01:23:25.130 --> 01:23:30.390] nothing about, you know, was this like chap? Was this like normal chapped lips or was this [01:23:30.390 --> 01:23:37.270] something else? We don't know. This again potentially raises a little bit of a specter [01:23:37.270 --> 01:23:46.130] of a gag. Like was, was she gagged? We don't know. We don't know. We don't know if like, [01:23:46.130 --> 01:23:52.830] it's chapped lips. If she had slightly chapped lips before she went on the hike, you know, [01:23:52.870 --> 01:23:57.570] tis the season in February. I don't know about you guys, but yeah, I get super dehydrated in [01:23:57.570 --> 01:24:06.550] February. Real common to have things like that happen. So something to note, but didn't [01:24:06.550 --> 01:24:11.610] really get answers as to the significance of it and what it meant. It's just another one [01:24:11.610 --> 01:24:21.530] these open questions, but does raise that specter of a possible gag. Libby was also [01:24:21.530 --> 01:24:30.070] 64 inches long, estimated at about 200 pounds. He paused to clarify that between the autopsies, [01:24:30.230 --> 01:24:35.450] he goes back and writes his reports while they're still fresh in his mind. He's got [01:24:35.450 --> 01:24:39.310] basically templates, so you just sort of fill in the parts, you know, that you remember [01:24:39.310 --> 01:24:44.970] he doesn't have to sit and write a whole 20 page thing. And then while he is doing that, [01:24:45.170 --> 01:24:51.850] his autopsy assistant will, you know, return the organs to the body, suture up the incisions. [01:24:52.710 --> 01:24:56.570] He does say return the body to the cooler. So yes, that does indicate the body was in a [01:24:56.570 --> 01:25:03.090] cooler before. Just when did it get in the cooler would be helpful to know. Wash the table [01:25:03.090 --> 01:25:07.710] and the instruments. I assume he meant sterilized. He didn't specifically say [01:25:07.710 --> 01:25:13.010] sterilized though, but I've got to trust that he meant that they would sterilize the [01:25:13.010 --> 01:25:20.710] instruments in the table so as to not contaminate the next autopsy. So with Liberty, [01:25:21.270 --> 01:25:27.870] likewise, they did the assault kit. No sign of any type of trauma. [01:25:30.810 --> 01:25:37.930] He clarified that these kits do include some extra swabs that can be used just for [01:25:37.930 --> 01:25:44.830] miscellaneous purposes. This came out because he indicated that there's no, like the crime [01:25:44.830 --> 01:25:50.630] scene investigators are not over there collecting their own swabs. And so these other swabs [01:25:50.630 --> 01:25:57.150] that we had noted in evidence for Libby from the breast, from the thigh, like a few different [01:25:57.150 --> 01:26:02.070] miscellaneous ones, he was attributing it as likely being to that, these miscellaneous [01:26:02.070 --> 01:26:07.150] ones from the kit. I don't know that I believe that though because they weren't in the kit. [01:26:07.270 --> 01:26:12.070] They were separate from the kit. Everything that was from the kit went back into the kit [01:26:12.070 --> 01:26:18.350] and that's the standard practice for that. So I think it's probably likely that either [01:26:18.350 --> 01:26:24.610] the crime scene investigators took their own swabs and packaged them or he took these [01:26:24.610 --> 01:26:30.310] additional swabs during the autopsy and maybe just didn't remember. I don't know, [01:26:30.310 --> 01:26:36.910] but there is a little tiny bit of a question about exactly where those other swabs came [01:26:36.910 --> 01:26:43.090] from. So they're provenance, like where we need somebody. It's always preferable if [01:26:43.090 --> 01:26:50.990] we can have somebody specifically identify, okay, this swab on the hands, where on the [01:26:50.990 --> 01:26:56.390] hands are big. Was the swab here? Was the swab here? Was the swab on the back of the hand? [01:26:56.410 --> 01:27:00.430] Was it on the palm of the hand? We don't know unless we have the person that took the swab [01:27:00.430 --> 01:27:04.430] who could tell us this is where I swabbed because they didn't put it on the label. They [01:27:04.430 --> 01:27:11.830] just said from the hand, from the breast, from the thigh, so forth. So I hope, I mean, [01:27:12.090 --> 01:27:17.490] on the one hand we want evidence, we want results, we want something from those swabs [01:27:17.490 --> 01:27:24.570] can help us identify who is the perpetrator of this crime. On the other hand, it may be [01:27:24.570 --> 01:27:30.370] difficult for that information to be useful if we can't track down exactly where these swabs [01:27:30.370 --> 01:27:41.960] came from. Libby as well had no defensive wounds and no restraint wounds. She had [01:27:41.960 --> 01:27:49.540] primarily the wounds to the throat. So there were at least four different wounds and there [01:27:49.540 --> 01:27:57.400] was a possible fifth one. It looks like there are three and the reason why is because one of [01:27:57.400 --> 01:28:04.340] the ones, the one that was on the far right hand side, it was actually two separate cuts, [01:28:04.400 --> 01:28:10.660] almost like in an X shape. And he described it as if somebody had made a cut and then gone [01:28:10.660 --> 01:28:18.740] back to do it maybe deeper or something like that and it doesn't follow exactly the same [01:28:18.740 --> 01:28:25.060] line as the first cut. So from a distance kind of it looks like it looks like it's just one [01:28:25.060 --> 01:28:34.200] but on close inspection it is in fact two. Libby's wounds were mostly vertically oriented, [01:28:34.240 --> 01:28:43.720] which I found strange. Again, I've never seen that. So it's basically one on the right side, [01:28:43.720 --> 01:28:51.780] one close to the middle, one over on the left side. Obviously the one being one being actually [01:28:51.780 --> 01:29:01.180] two. We saw a photo, we also saw a photo of Libby when she was on the table that shows [01:29:01.180 --> 01:29:06.500] that her hands had been bagged. This didn't get mentioned by any of the crime scene texts [01:29:06.500 --> 01:29:13.180] or we didn't hear from if there were firefighters or first responders or somebody [01:29:13.180 --> 01:29:18.100] like that who was in charge of the transport. She was in the coroner's, they had the coroner's [01:29:18.100 --> 01:29:22.980] van out there as far as we know. But we didn't hear from any of those people about their [01:29:22.980 --> 01:29:31.740] process, what they do when they're transporting a body. So somebody bagged the hands at some [01:29:31.740 --> 01:29:37.840] point in time. We don't know who. Generally a good thing that that happened but once again [01:29:37.840 --> 01:29:43.680] would be awfully nice to know exactly when that took place because the CSI, [01:29:45.720 --> 01:29:51.860] the crime scene investigators, they described that they wrapped her in a sheet and then [01:29:51.860 --> 01:29:57.300] placed her in a bag wrapped up in the sheet and zipped up the bag. So if the bag is closed [01:29:57.300 --> 01:30:03.260] and nobody's mentioned bagging her hands, I don't think we would probably unzip it, [01:30:03.260 --> 01:30:07.700] unwrap her and bag the hands and then put it all back together. Maybe we did, [01:30:08.320 --> 01:30:12.180] but it seems more likely to me that just the bagging of the hands got overlooked [01:30:12.180 --> 01:30:17.600] before she was before she was placed in the bag and just it didn't it didn't get mentioned. [01:30:19.580 --> 01:30:26.860] She also had some she had some smaller kind of secondary injuries. She had what he described [01:30:26.860 --> 01:30:34.700] as a very superficial incision that was just below her left shoulder. It was kind of like [01:30:34.700 --> 01:30:40.560] over in this area. It was very small. I would say maybe maybe a centimeter. He didn't give [01:30:40.560 --> 01:30:45.340] us a measurement. That's just kind of my my my guess based on based on the eyeballing it [01:30:45.340 --> 01:30:52.480] from the from the photograph. And then some very tiny abrasions that were just below her [01:30:53.040 --> 01:30:59.120] and a small abrasion that was between the wound on the left hand side and the wound on [01:30:59.120 --> 01:31:10.440] the center. So like basically right right about there. So okay, so it was the wound on [01:31:10.440 --> 01:31:14.000] the left. It was not the one on the right. It was the wound on the left that had the [01:31:14.000 --> 01:31:23.160] the overlapping X like pattern. So it basically consisted of two passes that looked like one. [01:31:23.160 --> 01:31:29.240] Then there was one that was basically in the center but slightly still to the left side. [01:31:30.580 --> 01:31:37.680] And then the one that was over on the right side. He said it was possible that there were [01:31:37.680 --> 01:31:44.420] also two passes on the center wound. That's why it's four maybe five incisions. But he [01:31:44.420 --> 01:31:52.880] could not be certain. And the reason why is he said because so if the victim is is alert [01:31:52.880 --> 01:31:59.280] and is conscious, it's almost instinctive that there is going to be some kind of movement, [01:31:59.440 --> 01:32:04.940] some kind of reactive, some kind of reaction. I mean, similar again to the defensive posturing. [01:32:05.260 --> 01:32:10.440] And so that can affect the wound. He described he gave an example of like if [01:32:11.560 --> 01:32:17.900] if you're if you're stabbed, and you know, you react and you jerk, it's going to twist [01:32:17.900 --> 01:32:23.900] the knife. And that will create a different shape of the wound. It will create like more [01:32:23.900 --> 01:32:29.380] of an L shape than just like a straight, you know, completely passive incision goes in [01:32:29.380 --> 01:32:33.480] straight in straight out. No, you move and it changes the shape of the wound. And so it's [01:32:33.480 --> 01:32:39.300] possible that that's what the situation was with the wound to the center part of the [01:32:39.300 --> 01:32:43.380] throat could not say definitively if it was one incision or two separate ones. [01:32:48.120 --> 01:32:58.960] We saw on the left, the left hand side, the wound, there were these marks at the edge of the [01:32:58.960 --> 01:33:07.700] wound that he indicated it appeared like a serrated knife. It had showed scalloped edges. [01:33:09.280 --> 01:33:16.380] But then he said that he has thought more about it. Since he did this, since he did [01:33:16.380 --> 01:33:23.840] deposition, basically, in very recent days, he's thought more about this conclusion that these [01:33:23.840 --> 01:33:34.780] were serrated, serrated, serrated edge marks. So you can see we could see the wound and the [01:33:34.780 --> 01:33:42.580] way it looks like is that there are these lines, I mean, like they're distinctive lines, [01:33:42.580 --> 01:33:49.980] very linear pattern. The very bottom one, though, is like slightly differently [01:33:50.600 --> 01:33:55.820] shaped. It's like maybe a little bit thicker. But otherwise they're fairly consistent. Each [01:33:55.820 --> 01:34:01.300] mark is about one to one and a half millimeters wide and about several millimeters in between. [01:34:01.400 --> 01:34:06.540] And they're right there adjacent to the wound. So we can see these very clearly. [01:34:10.080 --> 01:34:16.660] So he indicates it's probably he's changed his mind because with a typical serrated knife, [01:34:17.380 --> 01:34:24.360] the deepest part of the blade is in the center, whereas with this one, the linear [01:34:24.360 --> 01:34:31.360] pattern suggested it was that one that was on the edge, like the very first one [01:34:31.360 --> 01:34:40.700] that appeared appeared to be that shape. And so he changed his mind, thinks maybe it's no [01:34:40.700 --> 01:34:48.000] longer a serrated knife, that it would come from the hilt or perhaps some other part of [01:34:48.000 --> 01:34:55.020] the weapon. And that these, he thought, looked maybe more like abrasions than like [01:34:55.020 --> 01:35:00.600] the pattern that you would see from a serrated knife. I would think that would still be an [01:35:00.600 --> 01:35:09.260] abrasion, but I don't know. So just because that largest one on the edge didn't have the [01:35:09.260 --> 01:35:15.160] same pattern, it suggested a different cause. So he acknowledged that in his initial report, [01:35:15.180 --> 01:35:22.240] he had indeed said a serrated edge. But then on a later part of his report, [01:35:24.160 --> 01:35:32.960] he had suggested that it was serrated like, that it was not typical or classical serrated [01:35:35.160 --> 01:35:39.860] knife markings. So because of that, he thought it could have been something else. Now they did [01:35:39.860 --> 01:35:44.980] something a little bit unusual here. And I put it and put the notes in my margin because [01:35:44.980 --> 01:35:49.760] I'm like, why are they talking about what he told Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Rossi? This is how [01:35:49.760 --> 01:35:53.940] Littrell was doing the questioning. This is specifically how he was asking the questions. [01:35:54.020 --> 01:35:58.860] Like when you told in your deposit, you told Mr. Rossi and Mr. Baldwin that it was a serrated [01:35:58.860 --> 01:36:07.540] knife, but you've reconsidered now. And it became clear because he says now that he had [01:36:07.540 --> 01:36:16.980] indicated that perhaps it was a handle or a hilt of a weapon that had a pattern. And then [01:36:16.980 --> 01:36:22.920] he says what got him thinking about this was he went out to the garage [01:36:23.460 --> 01:36:29.560] and he had a box cutter. And the box cutter has this plastic attachment on the side with [01:36:29.560 --> 01:36:35.700] a thumb grip and the thumb grip had some parallel lines on it. And so he was thinking [01:36:35.700 --> 01:36:44.280] about that. And now thinks maybe those were from the side of a box cutter. [01:36:45.020 --> 01:36:51.780] Well, this is quite a remarkable shift in the testimony, isn't it? [01:36:52.700 --> 01:36:59.020] It became clear, as I'll get to, that the reason why Mr. Littrell was asking about what [01:36:59.020 --> 01:37:04.640] he had told Mr. Baldwin and Mr. Rossi is because he had not communicated this new [01:37:04.640 --> 01:37:14.420] theory to the defense before he testified on the stand today. Before he finished his direct, [01:37:14.420 --> 01:37:19.320] he talked about what would be the physiological effect of these injuries. What would the effect [01:37:19.320 --> 01:37:25.880] be on the body? And so generally speaking, there are going to be some common responses. [01:37:26.000 --> 01:37:32.060] So the first thing you're going to feel pain, these nerves, you're going to feel that. [01:37:32.680 --> 01:37:37.880] And there's going to be an autonomic nervous system response, a fight or flight response. [01:37:37.880 --> 01:37:48.180] So these are, you know, heart rate speeds up, breathing tends to get shallow and fast, [01:37:48.380 --> 01:37:55.820] blood vessels constrict, just these common reactions that occur. [01:37:57.960 --> 01:38:04.380] In the case of Abby, because this was an injury to a vein and not an injury to [01:38:04.380 --> 01:38:11.940] an artery, it's not pressurized. And so that means the loss of blood would have taken time. [01:38:12.260 --> 01:38:19.160] It is not something that would have been instantaneous. And so what happens is that [01:38:19.160 --> 01:38:25.380] there's passive blood loss. As the blood volume in the body decreases over time, [01:38:25.400 --> 01:38:32.880] that causes the blood pressure to decrease. So then what happens is the heart rate will [01:38:32.880 --> 01:38:39.400] speed up, the heart will try to keep up, so the heart rate will go up to try to keep the [01:38:39.400 --> 01:38:47.200] pressure maintained. And then basically the body goes into shock. And so the shock system is [01:38:47.200 --> 01:38:54.040] trying to prioritize getting the blood to the areas of highest priority, which is the brain. [01:38:55.180 --> 01:39:00.560] So what happens is some of the less important organs will shut down, like digestion. [01:39:00.560 --> 01:39:05.020] Digestion is no longer a priority. We don't need to be sending blood there. We don't need [01:39:05.020 --> 01:39:08.640] to be sending blood to the liver. We're not worried about filtering it and stuff like that. [01:39:08.660 --> 01:39:12.680] We're just worried about the priority of getting it up to the brain. [01:39:14.940 --> 01:39:21.480] But ultimately with the continued loss of blood, the pressure continues to fall. [01:39:23.260 --> 01:39:28.080] And that will result in loss of blood to the brain, loss of oxygen to the brain from [01:39:28.080 --> 01:39:34.240] that, and there will be a loss of consciousness and eventually loss of brain function, which will [01:39:34.240 --> 01:39:40.000] be basically the cause of death at that point. Without the brain function, there's no longer [01:39:40.000 --> 01:39:44.940] signal to the heart to pump and all of those other activities to occur. So that's the [01:39:44.940 --> 01:39:55.000] general process of the death. There was a point during this where Mr. Rosie was handling [01:39:55.000 --> 01:40:00.260] the cross-examination. He was objecting to leading questions. And Mr. Littrell, [01:40:00.700 --> 01:40:05.580] I call him Littrell, but it's really Latrol. I don't know exactly how to pronounce it. [01:40:05.700 --> 01:40:09.440] I catch myself saying Littrell because it sounds like it's spelled with an E at the end [01:40:09.440 --> 01:40:14.680] and it's not. It's spelled with a U. Anyway, he really struggled to adjust. [01:40:16.300 --> 01:40:23.160] He is not Mr. McClelland. Ms. Auger was able to adjust very quick on the fly when she [01:40:23.160 --> 01:40:27.260] wasn't able to say, do you agree? She was able to switch very quickly to, is it true? [01:40:27.740 --> 01:40:33.200] Mr. Littrell did not have that quick adjustment. He had to abandon his line of questioning [01:40:33.200 --> 01:40:39.320] because he couldn't really think about how to get there. And it was unfortunate [01:40:39.320 --> 01:40:43.560] because it was a question I had wanted to know the answer to. He was asked to give [01:40:43.560 --> 01:40:48.920] a ballpark estimate of the process of getting to unconsciousness or death. [01:40:48.920 --> 01:40:54.500] I didn't like this question. It's compound. That didn't get answered. That didn't get objected [01:40:54.500 --> 01:40:59.000] to. So his answer was that the ballpark estimate would have been five to 10 minutes, [01:40:59.040 --> 01:41:04.840] maybe longer. And there's just variables involved. It would take longer if the [01:41:04.840 --> 01:41:10.740] person is lying down. If the person is moving up and moving around, it would be faster. [01:41:11.880 --> 01:41:17.500] So the question and the follow-up question was how long would it take to reach [01:41:17.500 --> 01:41:23.080] unconsciousness? That's where the objection came in. And because he couldn't think of [01:41:23.080 --> 01:41:29.460] a non-leading way to ask this question, we didn't get the answer to that. So five to 10 [01:41:29.460 --> 01:41:34.880] minutes was the answer to the compound question of death, unconsciousness or death. [01:41:36.300 --> 01:41:43.760] But we don't really know which one. So Libby would have gone through the same [01:41:43.760 --> 01:41:49.300] physiological process, but because it was all three vessels and because some of them were [01:41:49.300 --> 01:42:00.340] arteries, it would have been more rapid. So he said that there's instinct. The first instinct [01:42:01.040 --> 01:42:11.020] is going to be to apply the hands to the wound. So that's the theory for Libby's bloody [01:42:11.020 --> 01:42:16.760] hands. Probably she reached for her throat in an effort to try to slow the blood loss. [01:42:16.880 --> 01:42:21.440] You know, you can get a cut, you put pressure on it, and then eventually it will congeal and [01:42:21.440 --> 01:42:31.860] stop. That's his view of what Libby was probably trying to do. Said it could slow [01:42:31.860 --> 01:42:38.360] blood loss again with the estimate probably five to 10 minutes, but probably closer to five. [01:42:41.480 --> 01:42:49.770] Libby also had a mild cerebral edema, and Abby did not have that. It was only Libby. [01:42:50.520 --> 01:42:56.460] And so he was asked about that and what some of the causes could be and stuff. [01:42:57.460 --> 01:43:04.740] So it can be caused by loss of oxygen, loss of blood pressure, like by strangulation. [01:43:04.740 --> 01:43:11.100] Strangulation will often cut off the source of blood to the brain that can result in swelling [01:43:11.100 --> 01:43:17.100] to the brain. You can get cerebral edema from a closed head injury. There's like a few different [01:43:17.100 --> 01:43:23.500] causes of it. What was significant for him was that it would take a few minutes for that to [01:43:23.500 --> 01:43:28.140] develop. It would take time for that to develop. So once again, we don't have [01:43:29.260 --> 01:43:36.200] instantaneous. We don't have an instantaneous process. It sounded like he was suggesting [01:43:36.200 --> 01:43:44.360] possibly. I hate to say this because it's horrifying. But the implication was that [01:43:44.360 --> 01:43:51.980] Libby would have been trying to hold her wounds together so hard that she may have [01:43:51.980 --> 01:43:56.380] cut off some of the blood flow to her brain and caused this edema. [01:44:01.020 --> 01:44:09.020] He concluded his direct by just noting that you really can't determine a time of death with any [01:44:09.020 --> 01:44:16.480] kind of precision and that they were consistent, that their condition was consistent with [01:44:16.480 --> 01:44:22.040] death occurring 40 to 41 hours before. That was a suggestion that he got from Mr. Littrell. [01:44:22.520 --> 01:44:27.860] He said, yeah, it's consistent with that. Maybe it's consistent with other times too, [01:44:27.860 --> 01:44:35.840] a different range of times. We didn't get follow up on that. So Mr. Rosie came out, [01:44:35.840 --> 01:44:42.600] came out firing, came out firing, hit him right off with 98% of the time. He works for the [01:44:42.600 --> 01:44:49.940] state. He has opportunities. This was something I had wondered about previously, the process [01:44:49.940 --> 01:44:58.500] for a deposition in Indiana because Judge Gull had gotten snappy at Mr. Baldwin about the [01:44:58.500 --> 01:45:04.940] timing of submitting a deposition as part of his offer of proof. The deposition had been taken [01:45:04.940 --> 01:45:08.900] back at the end of August. She's like, well, couldn't you have filed this earlier? Mr. Baldwin's [01:45:08.900 --> 01:45:17.580] like, no. Well, so one of the issues that can complicate the timing of a deposition is [01:45:17.580 --> 01:45:22.560] the witness in Indiana is the same process basically that we have in Washington. They [01:45:22.560 --> 01:45:28.060] are given an opportunity to be able to review the deposition, make changes to it, and then [01:45:28.060 --> 01:45:37.680] sign off. So he had that opportunity. He didn't make any changes. So he conceded. He did not [01:45:37.680 --> 01:45:44.560] know, starting with Abby, when she died in his deposition, the best he could do was that [01:45:44.560 --> 01:45:49.920] sometime between the last time she was seen alive and when she was discovered. Thanks, [01:45:50.060 --> 01:45:54.540] Sherlock. Couldn't have figured that out on our own. We needed an expert for that. [01:45:56.340 --> 01:46:04.240] But had accepted a range of 24 to 48 hours before they had been discovered. [01:46:06.060 --> 01:46:10.120] Said it can be very difficult to investigate the time of death. [01:46:10.680 --> 01:46:16.520] Um, so I think we know that. I think that's consistent with what we've heard. [01:46:17.800 --> 01:46:22.900] Certainly, we didn't hear anything about, you know, again, efforts to take the internal [01:46:22.900 --> 01:46:27.780] body temperature, do the liver probe, even do like a rectal thermometer. We'd heard from [01:46:27.780 --> 01:46:34.860] the CSI guy that they don't do things like that with a sexual assault case, because [01:46:34.860 --> 01:46:39.460] there's a risk of contamination. So I suppose it's possible that at this point in time it's [01:46:39.460 --> 01:46:44.620] too late for there to be any meaningful information like they would have just reached, [01:46:44.620 --> 01:46:51.500] you know, reached room temperature or cooler temperature or whatever. And so there wouldn't [01:46:51.500 --> 01:46:55.280] be viable information that they could get from that. But we also didn't hear anything [01:46:55.280 --> 01:47:02.260] about stomach contents, you know. We heard that very slight bit about the liver mortis [01:47:03.440 --> 01:47:10.160] being fixed within roughly eight hours. So that gives us a little bit of a time frame, [01:47:10.180 --> 01:47:14.960] but just not a whole lot. Not a whole lot. He didn't tell us much about, [01:47:14.960 --> 01:47:20.480] you know, rigor mortis. We heard from the CSI guy that it had set in at the scene. So [01:47:20.480 --> 01:47:25.260] we have just only a very little bit of information to be able to draw those kinds [01:47:25.260 --> 01:47:31.380] of inferences. It doesn't sound like they really tried to determine or to reach an opinion [01:47:31.380 --> 01:47:37.060] about the cause of the time of death. They just sort of concluded, we can't do it precise [01:47:37.060 --> 01:47:48.620] enough so we're not going to bother. In the deposition, he acknowledged he had [01:47:48.620 --> 01:47:53.320] seen crime scene photos, but he wasn't able to draw any conclusions about time of death [01:47:53.320 --> 01:47:59.380] or anything from those photos. He could not say much about the type of the instrument that [01:47:59.380 --> 01:48:05.260] used. He could say that it was sharp bladed, but as far as like a knife versus a scalpel, [01:48:05.260 --> 01:48:12.520] he wasn't able to say. He couldn't draw any conclusions about the length. He had said it [01:48:12.520 --> 01:48:17.180] could be anything from a pocket knife to a kitchen knife. And Mr. Rosie was very angry and [01:48:17.180 --> 01:48:28.140] you didn't mention a box cutter, did you? No, he did not. He could not say if the [01:48:28.140 --> 01:48:34.380] would go in that with, is the wound inflicted from behind? Is it inflicted from the front? [01:48:36.000 --> 01:48:43.820] You know, what's the direction of the movement? All that type of thing. We did get the [01:48:43.820 --> 01:48:52.620] impression from Abby if it was a right to left drawing motion, like he described, [01:48:52.620 --> 01:48:58.940] then that would suggest if a person behind would be using the left hand to do that on [01:48:58.940 --> 01:49:05.220] the left hand side of the throat. That seems to be fairly logical, but he did not make [01:49:05.220 --> 01:49:11.040] any kinds of inferences about that. With Libby, it just seems a lot harder to say because [01:49:11.040 --> 01:49:17.840] the wounds were vertical. They were vertically oriented and not horizontal like Abby's was. [01:49:20.660 --> 01:49:27.820] He agreed death was not instantaneous. There would have been several minutes potentially before [01:49:28.720 --> 01:49:36.160] unconsciousness in Abby. He had estimated in the deposition four, six, maybe 10 minutes. [01:49:36.740 --> 01:49:40.560] Because of that, she may have been able to react. She may have been able to make [01:49:40.560 --> 01:49:45.160] noise. She may have been able to move around. Her trachea was not damaged, [01:49:45.160 --> 01:49:54.320] so airflow was not restricted. Again, this is really horrifying information. It is hard to [01:49:54.320 --> 01:49:59.650] hear. I do not like thinking about it. The reason why the defense is bringing it up, [01:50:01.260 --> 01:50:07.980] one, just because of the opportunity to raise an alert, raise the alarm. [01:50:10.260 --> 01:50:15.940] The whole concept, the whole theory here is that the girls would have kept quiet as [01:50:15.940 --> 01:50:20.040] mouses because they were scared of the gun. The gun kept them under control. Once you have [01:50:20.040 --> 01:50:28.340] had a lethal blow inflicted on you, that incentive to stay quiet is probably gone. [01:50:28.340 --> 01:50:35.920] Now, that said, there is going to be shock, not just like the medical, [01:50:36.220 --> 01:50:42.300] formal medical world of shock, but just psychologically. I would think you are [01:50:42.300 --> 01:50:47.100] not going to believe. You are not going to believe what has happened. [01:50:47.880 --> 01:50:55.760] You are not going to be thinking logically in that moment. I do not know that that is [01:50:55.760 --> 01:51:00.460] really great evidence one way or the other about where they killed there at the scene. [01:51:00.520 --> 01:51:05.180] That is clearly where the defense is going with it. What I took from it, though, [01:51:06.020 --> 01:51:13.280] was a little bit different. It went back to how the condition of Abby's body was so clean. [01:51:13.740 --> 01:51:20.840] It was so clean and pristine. And the sharp contrast between Libby, who had the blood on [01:51:20.840 --> 01:51:28.260] her hands, and they described that, even though Libby would have reached unconsciousness and [01:51:28.260 --> 01:51:35.400] death faster. Abby, you know, this would have been a slower process. You would think she would [01:51:35.400 --> 01:51:44.860] have, you know, moved, made gestures. Blood would have dripped. There just would have been [01:51:44.860 --> 01:51:53.640] more. More of that. But there wasn't. And so it is very peculiar. It has raised the question [01:51:53.640 --> 01:52:02.160] in my mind. Was she washed? And does that explain why the clothes were wet? Not that [01:52:02.160 --> 01:52:08.620] the girls went across the creek. But she was washed. And then she was re-clothed [01:52:08.620 --> 01:52:16.100] while she's still wet. It's possible. Just really put it in my mind, hearing about [01:52:16.100 --> 01:52:22.640] how this process went and trying to reconcile that with the condition of the girls when they [01:52:22.640 --> 01:52:30.400] were found. Confirmed the, you know, mark on the bottom of her mouth, whatever, was there. [01:52:30.580 --> 01:52:37.540] Wouldn't have restricted her breathing if it didn't cover her mouth. He says it's possible [01:52:37.540 --> 01:52:43.560] something was put in her mouth, but that would be speculative. Confirmed he could not get [01:52:43.560 --> 01:52:49.440] scrapings from her fingernails because they were so short. No trauma to her sex organs. [01:52:49.760 --> 01:52:57.380] But no opinion on whether there was, in fact, any sexual activity before death. [01:52:59.760 --> 01:53:04.740] So then Libby. Similarly, the four to five injuries. Couldn't tell if it's a right or [01:53:04.740 --> 01:53:11.480] left-handed person. There's too many variables. At the deposition, of course, he'd indicated [01:53:11.480 --> 01:53:17.140] they were serrated marks and that possibly two, three, or four weapons could have been used. [01:53:17.480 --> 01:53:25.980] But there was only one of these wounds with these marks. The doctor suggested, [01:53:25.980 --> 01:53:31.620] well, that could just be affected by the angle or the force of the insertion. [01:53:33.220 --> 01:53:40.260] What he seems to be saying, if he's suggesting that there are marks on the handle, the handle [01:53:40.260 --> 01:53:48.020] of the of the weapon, that it basically like there would be a cut and then force forceful, [01:53:48.240 --> 01:53:52.980] you know, if it's a forceful cut, then the the handle would like strike it with some force. [01:53:52.980 --> 01:54:03.440] It would cause these abrasions. It would leave these marks. That, to me, it just didn't seem [01:54:03.440 --> 01:54:10.880] to line up with the way that the marks were oriented to the wound itself. They were right [01:54:10.880 --> 01:54:18.380] next to it. The handle is below the blade. And so you would think if the blade is making [01:54:18.380 --> 01:54:26.160] it, you know, an incision, the marks would be below that because these were not deep. [01:54:26.160 --> 01:54:32.960] Remember, this was not deep. The jugular vein is not deep in the body. He said it's, [01:54:32.960 --> 01:54:38.380] I think, like a quarter, maybe a quarter inch below the surface. And it was not cut all the [01:54:38.380 --> 01:54:44.020] way through in Abby. It was just it was just cut part part of her. Wait, I'm sorry. Now I'm [01:54:44.020 --> 01:54:52.340] talking about Abby. Maybe an inch, maybe an inch deep. So, I mean, I guess it could be [01:54:52.340 --> 01:54:58.940] a one inch blade with a handle. Could that be consistent with a box cutter? Yeah, okay. Yeah, [01:54:58.940 --> 01:55:05.820] I guess it could. I guess it could. My point is just that I would otherwise expect the marks to [01:55:05.820 --> 01:55:11.620] be below the point of the point of the blade and not not like adjacent to it. [01:55:19.160 --> 01:55:25.700] The cerebral edema, he, he again, he clarified it's, it's likely from the oxygen flow to [01:55:25.700 --> 01:55:31.600] the brain being cut off while in this process of bleeding out that it takes time for it [01:55:31.600 --> 01:55:37.240] to develop. And it was mild, but it does indicate that death was not instantaneous. [01:55:38.100 --> 01:55:44.920] In his deposition, he had estimated three, 10, maybe 20 minutes as the time that it would [01:55:44.920 --> 01:55:51.220] take to lead to death, but didn't specify the breakdown between death and unconsciousness. [01:55:53.620 --> 01:56:00.740] So he also confirmed that the injuries to the artery could cause projection of blood. [01:56:00.740 --> 01:56:08.420] This is the arterial spray that you hear about. Up to, he estimated up to about six feet [01:56:08.420 --> 01:56:15.500] that that would be possible. The debris on the leg, he agreed it was possible that that [01:56:15.500 --> 01:56:24.460] indicated she had been dragged from another location. They addressed the sheet. He said that [01:56:24.460 --> 01:56:31.720] the sheet is often in the body bag. It's not used all the time. It can be reused, [01:56:31.900 --> 01:56:37.900] but there are concerns about contamination. So sometimes these sheets come from the hospital. [01:56:38.340 --> 01:56:44.090] He suggested that there are higher, like more sterilization practices going on there [01:56:44.360 --> 01:56:50.680] that would result to it, but he ultimately did not know what the source of the sheet was. [01:56:52.760 --> 01:57:00.240] He again emphasized that these were not classic serrations. It was just the best matchup he had [01:57:00.240 --> 01:57:06.040] come up with at the time that he wrote his initial autopsy report and that afterwards he [01:57:06.040 --> 01:57:13.380] considered other causes. And this was where Mr. Rosie was kind of confronting him about [01:57:13.380 --> 01:57:18.120] you didn't file a supplemental report. You didn't say anything about this in your deposition. [01:57:20.680 --> 01:57:26.300] Clarified, you talked to the prosecutor several times between the deposition that took place [01:57:26.300 --> 01:57:32.360] in February and now. Yes, he did, but at no point did he talk to the defense. He didn't [01:57:32.360 --> 01:57:38.020] raise any of this to the defense. Mr. Rosie is clearly not happy about this at all. [01:57:39.600 --> 01:57:44.400] There's no way to tell, conceded, no way to tell if it's a box cutter that caused the wound. [01:57:45.680 --> 01:57:53.120] He says that maybe 10% of the time he'll change his mind after the deposition about some detail. [01:57:53.680 --> 01:57:59.500] That seems like a lot. That makes it sound like his autopsy poor report isn't necessarily [01:57:59.500 --> 01:58:07.000] all that reliable. If it's something that one in ten times it's not right and he's going [01:58:07.000 --> 01:58:13.260] to revise it after the fact. That seems like not a good position for him to be taking, [01:58:13.260 --> 01:58:19.720] but that is what he said approximately about 10% of the time. Mr. Rosie then was eliciting that [01:58:19.720 --> 01:58:24.860] he knew this was a high-profile case. He had in fact met with a reporter at some point, [01:58:25.800 --> 01:58:31.380] had coffee with a reporter, and chatted about the case, knew that it had gotten attention. [01:58:32.800 --> 01:58:38.100] And he got the doctor to concede that the report is for the definitive information. [01:58:38.100 --> 01:58:43.500] What he is talking about with the box cutter is more like speculation. [01:58:45.320 --> 01:58:51.000] We then went to redirect by Mr. Littrell who just asked what was the minimum number of knives [01:58:51.000 --> 01:58:55.440] that would be needed to cause all of these wounds and he said one. So possible that one [01:58:55.440 --> 01:59:05.500] knife caused all of the wounds. Asked if the artifact that was next to the wound indicated [01:59:05.500 --> 01:59:12.160] that it was probably more than one instrument and he said no. The jury had no questions for [01:59:12.160 --> 01:59:20.900] Dr. Corr. I had a question for Dr. Corr that nobody asked and my question for Dr. Corr [01:59:20.900 --> 01:59:27.500] would have been did he learn at some point perhaps during these series of meetings with [01:59:27.500 --> 01:59:37.200] prosecutor between February and the time of trial that Richard Allen had allegedly confessed [01:59:37.200 --> 01:59:45.420] to using a box cutter to kill the girls. I think it would be rather important to know if he had [01:59:45.420 --> 01:59:52.350] that piece of information because that would suggest he tailored his testimony to fit it. [01:59:52.970 --> 01:59:58.510] That this was not just oh I happened to see a box cutter in my garage and thought of it [01:59:58.510 --> 02:00:07.250] spontaneously. It frankly doesn't seem like as good of an explanation as just an atypical [02:00:07.250 --> 02:00:16.290] serrated blade. A serrated blade could have a part that's broken. The cut could have been [02:00:17.030 --> 02:00:21.390] performed you know not with the tip like with a different you know perhaps a different [02:00:21.390 --> 02:00:28.310] part of the blade than he would expect to see. If it otherwise looks like a serrated [02:00:28.910 --> 02:00:33.430] marking which it does. I mean you can see in the photos it really does kind of look like [02:00:33.430 --> 02:00:43.780] that. It's got this scalloped sort of effect to it. It's just it's just problematic this [02:00:43.780 --> 02:00:49.600] late in the day changing and it's coincidentally to the same thing that Richard Allen has [02:00:49.600 --> 02:00:55.240] allegedly confessed to using. I don't know how it's going to sit with the jury. I found [02:00:55.240 --> 02:01:02.560] it quite suspicious but as we've established I am by nature a very very skeptical person [02:01:03.240 --> 02:01:13.260] so that did not sit well with me. We had our lunch. As I mentioned we are now able to bring [02:01:13.260 --> 02:01:18.760] food and drink into the courthouse. We simply may not consume it in the courtroom so I did [02:01:18.760 --> 02:01:23.720] get to have some lunch today. Got to have some water. Things are going things are going [02:01:23.720 --> 02:01:27.860] much better in that sense. I think we're all getting a little bit used to the routine [02:01:30.380 --> 02:01:37.360] and having those having that that that angel from heaven descend into the line for me this [02:01:37.360 --> 02:01:42.700] morning certainly made a big difference. Somebody had asked yesterday in the in the [02:01:42.700 --> 02:01:52.320] super chats about how Rick is holding up and so today after lunch I did notice I saw him [02:01:52.320 --> 02:01:59.260] smiling and talking and he does appear much more relaxed. So [02:02:00.720 --> 02:02:05.620] don't know does he have a perception that things are going well is he just decompressing [02:02:05.620 --> 02:02:10.560] you know continuing to decompress from his time in prison like we talked about yesterday. [02:02:10.560 --> 02:02:16.380] Hard to say but he seemed to be in good spirits so that is a little bit more [02:02:16.380 --> 02:02:25.450] in response to that question. After lunch we just had one witness. He went on for quite some [02:02:25.450 --> 02:02:34.790] time. This was Christopher Cecil. He has he's a marine guy and he has a very formal [02:02:34.790 --> 02:02:40.770] militaristic bearing and one of the things that stood out to me is that you know in [02:02:40.770 --> 02:02:47.030] these these these militaristic like hierarchical kinds of structures rank is very important rank [02:02:47.030 --> 02:02:55.030] is very important and so Christopher Cecil was first sergeant not sergeant first sergeant [02:02:56.350 --> 02:03:01.090] wrote that down underlined make sure we know he's first sergeant Christopher Cecil. [02:03:02.490 --> 02:03:10.630] So he is another computer forensics guy with the Idaho State Police. In 2019 the Idaho State [02:03:10.630 --> 02:03:16.630] Police got a new piece of equipment called a gray key and what gray key does is it allows [02:03:16.630 --> 02:03:22.030] them to allows law enforcement to access encrypted information from Apple devices. [02:03:22.410 --> 02:03:28.530] So those of you with Apple devices who are relying on the encryption to keep your [02:03:28.530 --> 02:03:36.070] information secure sounds like it's not. They have these devices now that allow them to [02:03:36.070 --> 02:03:43.010] access encrypted information. So they got this got this new got this new piece of equipment. [02:03:43.010 --> 02:03:48.570] He went through the training for how to how to work with it and based on that he then [02:03:48.570 --> 02:03:57.110] volunteered to re-examine Libby's iPhone. So he did a full file system extraction with [02:03:57.110 --> 02:04:04.170] the gray key and then he that what that does it gives him everything all the entire contents [02:04:04.170 --> 02:04:12.110] of the Apple device and so it was more than the prior according to his this this this got [02:04:12.110 --> 02:04:19.050] inconsistent a bit in the testimony. I'll cover that a little bit. He said it gives them more [02:04:19.050 --> 02:04:24.250] than the prior programs would enable them to be able to extract. So he got that raw data [02:04:24.250 --> 02:04:29.610] and then he ran that raw data through the celebrite or through the magnet in order to [02:04:29.610 --> 02:04:36.230] process and parse it. And then he did an individual exam to go through the contents [02:04:36.230 --> 02:04:41.330] basically and produce his reports based on what he found in his examination. [02:04:43.570 --> 02:04:48.670] It took him a while to do this analysis. He spent about two months on it between June and [02:04:48.670 --> 02:04:54.570] August of 2019. He ran it through both magnet and celebrite to try to get make sure that [02:04:54.570 --> 02:05:00.450] he got all of the available information and did his analysis based on both of those analyses. [02:05:02.550 --> 02:05:11.070] He knew that Libby had recorded the video of the suspected abductor back in February [02:05:11.070 --> 02:05:20.910] 13th of 2017. So he focused his analysis on that day and he was trying to use the phone [02:05:20.910 --> 02:05:26.350] to establish a sequence of events to see what the phone data would be able to tell him about [02:05:26.350 --> 02:05:35.970] the events of that day. So we saw his first report. His first report was admitted into [02:05:35.970 --> 02:05:40.810] evidence. Once again you know these reports being in evidence I don't get it but they [02:05:40.810 --> 02:05:45.530] are and the defense doesn't seem to mind they stipulated to them being admitted so [02:05:45.530 --> 02:05:56.930] I guess I guess it's okay. And so we worked through what was contained in that report. [02:05:57.070 --> 02:06:02.970] The report confirmed to people that Libby and Abby had both been users of this phone. They [02:06:02.970 --> 02:06:10.330] both had user accounts for different apps and programs. There was biometric data. Touch ID [02:06:10.330 --> 02:06:16.930] was enabled and there were three biometric fingerprints saved. We don't know exactly whose [02:06:16.930 --> 02:06:22.670] but that was in there. That gave me that flashback. Remember what Mr. Baldwin said in [02:06:22.670 --> 02:06:30.070] the opening about human hands. I wonder what that might be referring to. Through this [02:06:30.070 --> 02:06:37.110] extraction he gets Apple Health ID. So this is what gives you the steps, the distance, [02:06:37.110 --> 02:06:42.430] and elevation changes. If you watch the care and read trial you certainly heard about this, [02:06:42.530 --> 02:06:48.690] about the Apple Health information. This is based on information that's aggregated from [02:06:48.690 --> 02:06:55.910] all kinds of different programs and apps and then it's constantly running in the background [02:06:55.910 --> 02:07:04.570] and Apple is synthesizing that information into this health data. So it has an internal [02:07:04.570 --> 02:07:11.670] accelerometer and a gyrometer and it uses that to calculate steps and elevation. [02:07:12.430 --> 02:07:17.670] It will also track the start and the stop times when the movements occurred. So based on [02:07:17.670 --> 02:07:23.950] that he was able to make certain notations about the time period that we are all interested [02:07:23.950 --> 02:07:32.290] in, the time period on the bridge. So from about 1.30 to about 2.08 in the afternoon the [02:07:32.290 --> 02:07:44.050] Apple Health data noted 1,682 steps between 2.08 in the afternoon and 2.18 in the afternoon. [02:07:44.150 --> 02:07:52.230] This would include the time period when Libby had video recorded, that down the hill video. [02:07:52.730 --> 02:08:04.490] It recorded traveling 414.38 meters, so not quite half a kilometer over that distance. [02:08:07.430 --> 02:08:19.450] From 2.31 to approximately 2.32 p.m. the Apple Health data showed a movement equivalent [02:08:19.450 --> 02:08:27.310] to two flights of stairs, an elevation change. It did not indicate whether it went up or whether [02:08:27.310 --> 02:08:36.510] it went down. And then the 2.32 was the last record of movement of the phone, the steps [02:08:36.510 --> 02:08:48.210] basically, last record of any kind of steps taken with the phone. He emphasized if they had [02:08:48.210 --> 02:08:53.810] started walking later and had the phones that it would have registered later movement based on [02:08:53.810 --> 02:09:01.870] that. But he did suggest that the phone could detect movement if it was, if it's not a step, [02:09:01.910 --> 02:09:09.330] if it's in a car and there is a bump or a bounce that could register movement in the phone. [02:09:11.350 --> 02:09:15.890] He turned then to the Knowledge C database analysis. Remember this from yesterday, [02:09:15.890 --> 02:09:21.970] this was a big thing for me. I'm like, why don't you go back and take this extraction that you [02:09:21.970 --> 02:09:29.810] said had the Knowledge C stuff in it and run it through your updated program? So that is, in fact, [02:09:30.110 --> 02:09:35.710] what they ultimately did. He describes the background a little bit of the Knowledge C [02:09:35.710 --> 02:09:41.950] database. He describes it as a volatile database, meaning the information does not [02:09:41.950 --> 02:09:48.510] on it very long. It's not something that you're typically aware that the phone is logging. [02:09:50.010 --> 02:09:54.570] The type of data that it's tracking are things like when the phone is locked, [02:09:54.670 --> 02:09:58.610] when it's unlocked, when the screen light is on, when the screen light is off, [02:10:00.350 --> 02:10:09.030] that type of sort of use-related data. They had a whole list of not inclusive, [02:10:09.030 --> 02:10:16.550] like not exclusive, like a total list, not an exhaustive list, but a fairly large list of [02:10:16.550 --> 02:10:22.510] some of the data that this Knowledge C database will track. I couldn't write all of it down, [02:10:22.590 --> 02:10:26.550] couldn't quite see all of it on the screen, but those are some of the things that I got. [02:10:28.070 --> 02:10:36.390] So he indicated that it was in 2019 that he learned of the existence of the Knowledge C [02:10:36.390 --> 02:10:45.150] database. This was unknown in the forensic community. What happens is that the programmers [02:10:45.150 --> 02:10:49.670] for Apple, they aren't out there telling the forensic examiners, here's what's in the phone [02:10:49.670 --> 02:10:53.590] and here's how you get to it. They're not given instructions. They're reverse engineering. [02:10:53.790 --> 02:10:57.950] They're getting the phones. They're figuring out what's on there. And so the Knowledge C [02:10:57.950 --> 02:11:03.110] database was the situation where the data is there, but they just didn't know. They didn't [02:11:03.110 --> 02:11:10.230] see it. They didn't recognize it. They didn't realize exactly what it was. So before the [02:11:10.230 --> 02:11:16.870] gray key, his testimony was that before gray key, they would use celebrate for these [02:11:16.870 --> 02:11:24.710] extractions and that that did not grab the Knowledge C database information. So that would [02:11:24.710 --> 02:11:29.310] be why they wouldn't use one of the original extractions. That's why they needed the gray [02:11:29.310 --> 02:11:34.550] key to pull the phone again in 2019 and then run it back through celebrate. [02:11:36.050 --> 02:11:42.090] Other things that it tracks, the app activities, device logs. So he created a timeline [02:11:42.090 --> 02:11:47.770] based on the Knowledge C database information that he was able to get out of the phone. [02:11:48.530 --> 02:11:54.950] So at 1.38, the phone, there was a phone call made. The phone was charging. There was [02:11:55.510 --> 02:12:02.750] Snapchat being used at 1.41. There was a Snapchat picture that was posted. He was able to find [02:12:02.750 --> 02:12:08.290] the corresponding picture inside the Snapchat application. That was a question we had from [02:12:08.290 --> 02:12:18.010] the other day. The phone, the picture of Abby on the bridge was not in the camera roll. [02:12:18.290 --> 02:12:22.750] So the question was, could it have been stored in the Snapchat database? That examiner [02:12:22.750 --> 02:12:27.930] didn't know the answer to that. So this particular picture he was able to find within [02:12:27.930 --> 02:12:35.510] the Snapchat application. At 1.43.59, there's another Snapchat picture posted. This is the [02:12:35.510 --> 02:12:40.890] one that was the first exhibit from the state, the photograph, the selfie taken in the car [02:12:40.890 --> 02:12:44.910] that Libby took and shows Abby sitting in the back seat behind. [02:12:46.010 --> 02:12:53.430] At 2.05.10, there is a Snapchat picture that is uploaded. That is the photograph [02:12:53.430 --> 02:12:59.550] of the plane photograph of the Monon High Bridge. He was able to find that on the phone. [02:13:01.690 --> 02:13:08.590] At 2.07.20 is the last time the phone was unlocked. Now, he doesn't note [02:13:09.230 --> 02:13:17.730] on this timeline when the photo of Abby was posted. We're gonna get to this. There's questions [02:13:17.730 --> 02:13:26.610] about that. So at 2.07.20 was the last time the phone was unlocked. 2.13.51 is when the [02:13:26.610 --> 02:13:31.790] video was recorded of Abby walking across the bridge with the person behind her. He said it's [02:13:32.510 --> 02:13:41.330] video. Really didn't seem like that, but I'll trust him that it was. And so [02:13:42.570 --> 02:13:53.210] at 2.14.41, somebody tries to biometrically unlock the phone, but apparently is not [02:13:53.210 --> 02:13:57.230] successful and I don't think we have information about who that was. [02:13:58.790 --> 02:14:05.150] 232.39 is the last recorded movement in the Apple Health data. He is calling this movement [02:14:05.150 --> 02:14:16.070] of the phone, but that is not accurate. If the phone moves and it's not in a step, [02:14:16.250 --> 02:14:27.210] like if the phone is in my car and somebody is driving my car, the phone is not going [02:14:27.210 --> 02:14:32.350] to register steps. He did get to that in cross-examination, but I just pointed that [02:14:32.350 --> 02:14:35.630] out because he's using this language, last recorded movement of the phone. Now, it's [02:14:35.630 --> 02:14:40.310] not the phone movement that's being recorded. It's the steps that are being recorded. So [02:14:40.310 --> 02:14:49.650] no steps recorded after 232.239. And then at 10.32.36 is because remember he only did [02:14:49.650 --> 02:14:58.010] this for one day. He only did the February 13th analysis. So at 10.32.36 this was, [02:14:58.070 --> 02:15:02.570] according to him, the last recorded data from the iPhone and because of that he [02:15:02.570 --> 02:15:07.670] thought the battery was depleted, but he now knows that that is incorrect. [02:15:12.330 --> 02:15:19.750] So he gave his report to the investigators. After that, programs continue to be developed, [02:15:19.750 --> 02:15:25.350] continue to be updated and more and more data can be extracted, more and more data can be [02:15:25.350 --> 02:15:31.310] analyzed. There were updates to Celebrite and Magnet that allow more info to be able to be [02:15:31.310 --> 02:15:36.550] analyzed and decoded. So at this point, then what he did is he went back to those original [02:15:36.550 --> 02:15:42.010] extractions and then he reprocessed them through the updated version of Celebrite. So [02:15:42.010 --> 02:15:46.830] he did not do a new extraction for this part of his examination. [02:15:51.310 --> 02:16:02.430] He says he did not compare the 2017 data to the 2019 data, like to see if those extractions [02:16:02.430 --> 02:16:09.310] got the same thing. He had previously, earlier in his testimony, however, said that the [02:16:09.310 --> 02:16:14.650] the whole point of the gray key extraction is that it can pull more than what those original [02:16:14.650 --> 02:16:25.820] ones do. But he says he didn't compare them. There was an interesting thing that was happening [02:16:25.820 --> 02:16:32.600] during this questioning. Mr. McLeiland was handling the direct examination. He would ask [02:16:32.600 --> 02:16:42.760] a question that would be kind of a technical question. And on occasion, the witness would [02:16:42.760 --> 02:16:53.120] say, can you rephrase that? Can you rephrase that? He didn't want to answer the question [02:16:53.120 --> 02:17:01.140] the way it was asked. And there could be different reasons for that. Typically, if it's [02:17:01.140 --> 02:17:08.320] a bad question, you just would clarify, you know, I mean, I feel like I feel like most [02:17:08.320 --> 02:17:12.120] witnesses, you would just clarify, is this what you're trying to get at? Okay, I'll answer [02:17:12.120 --> 02:17:23.780] that. I will just tell you the impression I got is that they were trying to make sure that the [02:17:23.780 --> 02:17:36.790] testimony was very specific and that the ultimate impression that I got was that they [02:17:37.510 --> 02:17:45.290] suggest that the 2017 extraction, the data that came from that, and then the 2019 [02:17:45.290 --> 02:17:53.070] extraction that he did, that they both pulled the same data. And so that would tend to [02:17:53.070 --> 02:18:00.030] minimize the suggestion that had been raised in the previous examiner's cross exam that [02:18:00.030 --> 02:18:06.270] the way that he handled the phone could have resulted in a loss of some of the data. [02:18:06.270 --> 02:18:11.850] Because that then would show up, right? There would be more data on the 2019 extraction than [02:18:11.850 --> 02:18:23.150] there would be on the 2017 extraction. So there was a lot of care and wordsmithing [02:18:23.150 --> 02:18:33.110] of these questions to kind of avoid certain explicit questions being asked like straight up [02:18:33.110 --> 02:18:43.930] was the amount of data the same? Could you rephrase that? That I thought it made me [02:18:43.930 --> 02:18:53.990] uncomfortable a little bit. So then in 2024, he took his first extraction that he did in 2017, [02:18:55.110 --> 02:19:05.630] the one that Bunner did, and he reviewed it. He reviewed the timeline. He knew that Bunner had [02:19:05.630 --> 02:19:11.710] connected it to the cell network. And so as a result of that, there would be additional data [02:19:11.710 --> 02:19:18.890] in the new extraction that was not there on the February 15 extraction. [02:19:20.110 --> 02:19:26.150] This again was like they're really skirting around the comparison of the data between these [02:19:26.150 --> 02:19:34.410] two. And so he didn't compare them, but it's like probably deliberate that he didn't compare [02:19:34.410 --> 02:19:46.760] them. He says that the connecting to the network would not have affected the data that [02:19:46.760 --> 02:19:53.180] was previously collected, the method one collection, the very first one that he did, [02:19:53.420 --> 02:19:57.640] he connected to the network after that. So that would not have affected the first extraction. [02:19:57.640 --> 02:20:05.020] He was clear about that. But then at one point in here, he did say they compared the [02:20:05.020 --> 02:20:11.060] information gathered between the extractions and they were the same. This is going to come back [02:20:11.060 --> 02:20:16.920] in cross-examination. So he finally, he previously said, no, I didn't compare them. [02:20:17.240 --> 02:20:21.760] But then just a few minutes later, he says I compared them and they were the same. [02:20:25.830 --> 02:20:35.310] So then he did another detailed analysis between May and August of 2024. So this was all [02:20:35.310 --> 02:20:43.570] continuing to occur very recently. And then he wrote a second report in August of 2024. [02:20:44.670 --> 02:20:52.310] In that report, the first thing he did is he corrected some of the previous data. He had made [02:20:52.310 --> 02:20:58.690] a few typos about times. He had indicated that the phone had been unlocked by Celebrite when [02:20:58.690 --> 02:21:03.530] in fact law enforcement had provided the passcode. So the phone did not need to be broken. [02:21:04.310 --> 02:21:11.590] It was open with the passcode. And then he had made an incorrect notation about the time of [02:21:11.590 --> 02:21:18.570] last activity on February the 13th. So relatively minor things, but he did start that report by [02:21:18.570 --> 02:21:24.690] making the corrections. So now we go back to knowledge C and the knowledge C database. He [02:21:24.690 --> 02:21:36.260] said that it usually retains about a month worth of records of data. Some information is [02:21:36.260 --> 02:21:42.320] stored for weeks. Some information is stored for months. Some information is stored longer. [02:21:42.420 --> 02:21:49.880] It just depends on what events the knowledge C is tracking. And so whenever the phone [02:21:50.780 --> 02:21:56.260] wants to delete that old data, it will overwrite it with the new information. And [02:21:56.260 --> 02:22:01.000] it's on a first in first out system. So that means the oldest stuff is the first [02:22:01.000 --> 02:22:09.960] be deleted and then overwritten. He clarified that to kind of illustrate what it is that [02:22:09.960 --> 02:22:16.600] the knowledge C database is doing. Pictures and videos, for example, are not stored in the [02:22:16.600 --> 02:22:22.140] knowledge C database. But what the knowledge C database does store is information about the [02:22:22.140 --> 02:22:27.520] use of the camera. And so it will indicate the camera was used, but it doesn't store [02:22:27.520 --> 02:22:35.060] the content, the product of that use of the camera. So because of that, the knowledge C [02:22:35.060 --> 02:22:40.880] database, it can lose information. It is volatile like he described. And that occurs [02:22:40.880 --> 02:22:50.760] when the phone is powered on and powered off. He indicated that internet cached information [02:22:50.760 --> 02:22:57.280] is what will be deleted, whereas user created data will stay. So if you are personally [02:22:57.520 --> 02:23:03.320] doing something with your phone, you're entering a contact, you're taking a photograph, [02:23:04.200 --> 02:23:12.740] you are setting your alarm, those end products will not be subject to the knowledge C [02:23:12.740 --> 02:23:21.000] database. They won't be deleted. It's the information about the usage and then the internet [02:23:21.000 --> 02:23:28.180] cached data. He didn't specify, he didn't clarify exactly what that means. But that's [02:23:28.180 --> 02:23:33.460] just the distinction that he drew. He also indicated that the health app data, that is [02:23:33.460 --> 02:23:40.420] not a part of the knowledge C database. So in this new analysis that he did, he did not [02:23:40.420 --> 02:23:50.020] get any new information from the Apple health data. He confirmed that the way that iPhone [02:23:50.020 --> 02:23:56.380] calculates the steps that in a controlled environment, they are pretty accurate. [02:23:56.760 --> 02:24:02.860] Over long distances of time, though, it becomes a little bit less accurate and it would tend to [02:24:02.860 --> 02:24:20.240] overestimate the distances. I think we are on Ms. OJ's cross-examination now. I forgot, [02:24:20.240 --> 02:24:29.740] forgot to write down her name. I usually write her name in the margin to let me know [02:24:29.740 --> 02:24:34.700] that that's what happened. But I forgot to do that here. So we are in cross-examination now. [02:24:34.900 --> 02:24:40.960] Here's what caught it for me. She's the one that's drawing out all this information. [02:24:42.700 --> 02:24:50.040] So when he testified in his direct examination that sometimes if the phone is in a car and [02:24:50.040 --> 02:24:56.720] car hits a bump, it will register movement. That, according to Ms. OJ, it apparently derives [02:24:56.720 --> 02:25:06.560] from a study that was done where one time, sometimes an iPhone would mistake hitting a speed [02:25:06.560 --> 02:25:15.960] bump for a step. So he conceded that and so she was making the point that this is not [02:25:15.960 --> 02:25:21.000] just any movement. It didn't account for potholes. It's not accounting for climbing [02:25:21.000 --> 02:25:27.520] the hill like you remember from Karen Reed, stuff like that. It's very specifically a study [02:25:27.520 --> 02:25:36.940] about a speed bump and that it is only sometimes that that would register incorrectly. [02:25:41.660 --> 02:25:47.920] The health data doesn't give location data, but the other apps do. And if you've allowed [02:25:47.920 --> 02:25:54.660] access to the location data on your phone. So on Libby's phone, she had had location services [02:25:54.660 --> 02:26:02.460] enabled for a variety of apps. So you can enable it for sometimes while you're using [02:26:02.460 --> 02:26:06.720] the app. You can have it always enabled. You can have it never enabled. There were several [02:26:06.720 --> 02:26:11.200] that were enabled while she was using the app, the camera, the maps, the Snapchat, [02:26:11.200 --> 02:26:20.180] the App Store, Siri. It was always enabled for the weather app. It was never enabled [02:26:20.180 --> 02:26:24.660] for Walmart. I thought this is really a girl after my own heart. [02:26:29.860 --> 02:26:35.260] So to get the location data, it's because the phone is connecting with a GPS network [02:26:35.260 --> 02:26:44.380] or with cell towers or with Wi-Fi. He confirms that CPS is very good accuracy. It's very [02:26:44.380 --> 02:26:54.560] high accuracy. During this cross-examination, I want to emphasize part of how this went because [02:26:54.560 --> 02:27:04.480] there was a big misstep from my perspective, a major defense misstep in this cross-examination. [02:27:05.680 --> 02:27:13.300] So initially, Ms. Auger, she is really making points. She knows what she's talking about. [02:27:13.300 --> 02:27:21.660] He's agreeing with everything that she said. And something that Julie Melvin, I was speaking [02:27:21.660 --> 02:27:31.340] to her a few times today, she noticed that sometimes when the defense is cross-examining [02:27:31.340 --> 02:27:37.620] the witnesses, they start to speak much more quietly. And I hadn't noticed this. I hadn't [02:27:37.620 --> 02:27:41.580] noticed this with any of the prior witnesses she had pointed it out to me earlier in the [02:27:41.580 --> 02:27:49.460] day. With this witness now, noticed it. He's gotten real quiet. He's gotten real quiet. [02:27:49.900 --> 02:27:54.460] There's only a couple times that Mr. McClelland objects. When he objects, he is also [02:27:54.880 --> 02:28:05.320] real quiet. They've gotten quiet. Ms. Auger, she is making hay with this cross-examination. [02:28:05.320 --> 02:28:12.840] So she's getting good information out. So the video, she points out the location data starts [02:28:12.840 --> 02:28:23.520] near the Delphi High School as the video records. And then as it progresses within four [02:28:23.520 --> 02:28:31.980] seconds, the data then came back to the trail. And that it was... he claimed it was [02:28:31.980 --> 02:28:37.980] accurate to within about 30 meters at that point. So they got... it sounds like they got [02:28:37.980 --> 02:28:45.600] additional location data through this subsequent extraction that the first analysis that the [02:28:45.600 --> 02:28:53.440] first time they extracted it with the tools at the time when the analyst mapped it and just [02:28:53.440 --> 02:28:59.160] got like the whole town of Delphi. This new analysis was able to show that actually that [02:28:59.160 --> 02:29:10.020] did go down to more precise, more pinpointed, and it was within about 30 meters, about 30 meter [02:29:10.020 --> 02:29:20.820] accuracy. And he described the way that that happens. So what happens is that when they first... [02:29:20.820 --> 02:29:26.360] when you first open the app or open the phone or just whatever is triggering the location [02:29:26.360 --> 02:29:34.780] data to be pulled, the phone is programmed to default to what is going to preserve the [02:29:34.780 --> 02:29:42.460] battery and to use what is going to preserve the battery like when possible. And so that's [02:29:42.460 --> 02:29:48.760] what it first uses when it opens. And those are going to be likely cell tower data. And [02:29:48.760 --> 02:29:55.100] the cell tower data is what is, like we've been talking about here, not particularly precise [02:29:55.100 --> 02:30:04.900] you're just connecting to a single phone or to a single tower. So then as time passes, [02:30:05.700 --> 02:30:10.900] it will start to use more battery to perform this function. And that's then when it will [02:30:10.900 --> 02:30:18.080] start to use these satellite-based systems to get more detailed information as the time goes [02:30:18.080 --> 02:30:31.580] as the video progresses. Liberty had location services on for Snapchat. And so the Knowledge [02:30:31.580 --> 02:30:39.340] Sea database shows when it's being used. The location services should have gotten it within [02:30:39.340 --> 02:30:46.060] about a five meter range. It doesn't map continuously. None of these apps will map [02:30:46.060 --> 02:30:50.440] continuously because that would drain the battery. So the app has to be open for the [02:30:50.440 --> 02:31:01.840] mapping to take place. But the Snapchat location services seems to be a fairly precise location [02:31:02.860 --> 02:31:14.040] information. He did say that having the battery low, like if the battery goes low or if it's [02:31:14.040 --> 02:31:23.600] to save the battery, that would not interfere with the Apple health data. So based on the [02:31:23.600 --> 02:31:29.340] new information, they conclude that the phone, he had previously thought it went off at 1030 [02:31:29.340 --> 02:31:33.660] because the battery was low. No, the new conclusion is the phone stayed on until [02:31:33.660 --> 02:31:40.840] sometime after 430 a.m. the following day. And the reason why is because at that time, [02:31:40.840 --> 02:31:47.700] the phone suddenly received a bunch of SMS messages. And there was no indication that [02:31:47.700 --> 02:31:52.780] the phone was turned off, nothing in the log that would indicate that the phone was turned off. [02:31:57.950 --> 02:32:03.750] But there was no movement that was tracked in the phone up to that point that, you know, [02:32:03.910 --> 02:32:11.190] 432 a.m. when the SMS messages came flooding in. [02:32:13.550 --> 02:32:21.030] So they kind of modified the timeline after the phone stopped moving at 233 p.m. [02:32:21.430 --> 02:32:31.410] So he said the phone is receiving calls, SMS. And he clarifies what SMS is, is it's a [02:32:31.410 --> 02:32:39.090] message that's sent solely over the cell network, not over the information, the data network, [02:32:39.090 --> 02:32:44.530] satellite based and stuff. So it's just calls and texts and things like that can typically [02:32:44.530 --> 02:32:51.490] go by either network. But SMS is specifically only over the cell network. So during this [02:32:51.490 --> 02:32:56.410] time frame, the phone is receiving calls, it's receiving SMS, it's receiving texts. [02:32:56.690 --> 02:33:04.290] At 406 p.m. it receives an SMS from Becky Patty. You need to call me now with [02:33:05.170 --> 02:33:13.070] several exclamation points and that there's more after that. It's noting this information is [02:33:13.070 --> 02:33:20.450] noting the fact of the communication, but not the detail, not the text detail or the call [02:33:20.450 --> 02:33:27.250] detail or anything like that. It will show the name of the contact if that person is saved on [02:33:27.250 --> 02:33:35.910] the phone. And so then those messages continued to February 14th. And then again, several came [02:33:35.910 --> 02:33:45.190] in at 438 a.m., about 15 to 20 all at once. She asked him if he knew why all of these SMS [02:33:45.190 --> 02:33:54.570] messages came in all at once at 438 or 433 a.m. He doesn't know. He doesn't know why. He [02:33:54.570 --> 02:34:06.470] doesn't have an answer or an explanation. On February 14th at 434 a.m. he says that's the [02:34:06.470 --> 02:34:13.430] last operating system activity and they are not sure what happens after that. So there [02:34:13.430 --> 02:34:23.520] doesn't seem to be a record of what happened to the phone. It's on February 15th, the [02:34:23.520 --> 02:34:32.720] day at about 7 p.m. that the iPhone then is booting up. That's when Bunner had turned [02:34:32.720 --> 02:34:37.960] it on and plugged it in and charged it for his extraction. So at some point before that [02:34:37.960 --> 02:34:55.620] the phone had lost power, but there is not a record of that. You know what? I think maybe I [02:34:55.620 --> 02:35:01.840] was wrong. I think maybe this was not crossed yet. The reason why I say that is because [02:35:02.720 --> 02:35:14.430] I think it wasn't... I thought we were because of that [02:35:14.430 --> 02:35:30.570] that concession about the speed bump. The study of the speed bump. Maybe he just specified [02:35:31.590 --> 02:35:38.650] that in his questioning and Ms. Auger drew it out later in cross-examination. I think that is [02:35:38.650 --> 02:35:44.510] what happened. So I am sorry, guys. I was right the first time. This has all been information [02:35:44.510 --> 02:35:49.750] that's elicited on direct. The reason why I know that is because at this point we went [02:35:49.750 --> 02:35:54.990] to recess and when we came back from recess Mr. McClelland asked for permission. He had [02:35:54.990 --> 02:36:00.150] passed the witness so he was done with his questions. It's going to go to Ms. Auger. But [02:36:00.150 --> 02:36:04.610] then he came back after recess and told the court he asked for permission to ask omitted [02:36:04.610 --> 02:36:10.410] questions. He forgot to ask some things so he wanted to follow up on that before she proceeded [02:36:10.410 --> 02:36:17.110] to her cross. So that's... I apologize. I had it right the first time. This was all [02:36:17.110 --> 02:36:23.630] direct examination. So the omitted questions that he had wanted to ask on the first report, [02:36:24.130 --> 02:36:29.170] there had been some asterisks by some of the entries and this was very important. [02:36:29.170 --> 02:36:36.470] He had the timeline for when the photo of Abby on the bridge was posted to Snapchat [02:36:37.250 --> 02:36:43.170] but he was not able to find that picture on the phone and he didn't know why. [02:36:44.210 --> 02:36:51.410] So he had found a picture on the internet of Abby on the bridge that had a time stamp [02:36:51.410 --> 02:36:58.670] that was the same or, you know, roughly I think the same as the time stamp that was showing [02:36:58.670 --> 02:37:07.090] in the KnowledgeSee database for when that event had taken place. [02:37:07.850 --> 02:37:14.390] So that was introduced as an exhibit. It was just the one that he found on the internet [02:37:14.390 --> 02:37:21.730] to confirm that yes this was a photo and maybe corresponds with this time stamp that is there [02:37:21.730 --> 02:37:28.630] in the report. But he didn't find it in the phone so it was not in the Snapchat database [02:37:28.630 --> 02:37:41.710] like the other photos which is odd. He also clarified that the measurement for the [02:37:41.710 --> 02:37:50.270] elevation change that's used for this program is one flight of stairs is equivalent to [02:37:50.270 --> 02:37:56.970] approximately 10 feet in elevation or 16 steps. So the two floors that were noted [02:37:56.970 --> 02:38:05.250] in this particular case on February 13th at the like 233-ish time was about 20 feet [02:38:05.250 --> 02:38:11.390] elevation change but they did not know if it was elevation change up or elevation change down. [02:38:14.510 --> 02:38:29.930] And then he also said that between 12... on February 13th between 1201 p.m. and 131 p.m. [02:38:29.950 --> 02:38:38.110] there was no entry and so according to him that means the phone isn't moving. So now we go to [02:38:38.110 --> 02:38:44.690] examination and the many many points that she scored. And so we'll get back to some of these [02:38:44.690 --> 02:38:49.990] some of these other things. So first thing she hits on this exhibit the photo he got from the [02:38:49.990 --> 02:38:54.730] internet. It was just a random photo he got on the internet. She asked him how where'd you [02:38:54.730 --> 02:38:59.390] find it? He's like I think I did a Google search. He doesn't remember what he searched [02:38:59.650 --> 02:39:07.410] for. The time stamp was I think on the... [02:39:07.410 --> 02:39:14.150] I couldn't see exactly what they were talking about but there is a time stamp of 207 [02:39:14.150 --> 02:39:21.030] that I believe is the information from the report. But then the time I think on the photo [02:39:21.030 --> 02:39:27.550] like if it was screenshot or something it says seven hours ago. That you know could [02:39:27.550 --> 02:39:36.810] mean anything. Nobody knows what that means. She then presented the defense exhibit A that's [02:39:36.810 --> 02:39:43.210] already been introduced. She represented it as being the original picture and the original [02:39:43.210 --> 02:39:50.970] picture has no date or time stamp. So I don't know yet where exhibit A came from [02:39:50.970 --> 02:39:58.170] because they didn't find the original on the phone. So I don't know how this is the original. [02:39:59.110 --> 02:40:04.370] I don't know if there's been a defense analysis that maybe was able to recover [02:40:04.370 --> 02:40:11.450] some deleted data or something like that and that's where it came from. It's not clear to me. [02:40:12.610 --> 02:40:22.230] So she just elicited that he doesn't know who put the 207 marking on that photo. It was just [02:40:22.230 --> 02:40:30.550] some random person out on the internet and we don't know when the photo was actually posted [02:40:30.550 --> 02:40:36.950] you know from looking at the photo. So she walked through the timeline of the Snapchat [02:40:36.950 --> 02:40:43.450] photos that 140 there was a photo taken. It was found in the Snapchat cache. [02:40:43.930 --> 02:40:49.790] At 141 a photo was taken. It was found in the Snapchat cache. 143 a photo is taken. It's [02:40:49.790 --> 02:40:56.150] found in the Snapchat cache. 205 these are all photos that are posted to Snapchat. [02:40:56.970 --> 02:41:04.410] It's found in the Snapchat cache but he didn't find the one from 207 and it's also not on [02:41:04.410 --> 02:41:14.790] camera roll. So it's an outlier. This picture of Abby. It's gone. It's quite curious. [02:41:16.850 --> 02:41:24.310] So she asked one possible explanation could it have been posted to her account from another [02:41:24.310 --> 02:41:35.470] device? He said possibly. Possibly could have done that. I'm not sure what that's implying [02:41:36.110 --> 02:41:41.170] at 207. Bridge guy is still not there. [02:41:43.570 --> 02:41:48.990] Maybe she's suggesting there's more than one person that took the photo and [02:41:50.810 --> 02:41:56.510] put Libby's Snapchat information in their phone and then uploaded the photo to Libby's account. [02:41:56.590 --> 02:42:03.530] That seems to kind of be what's implied. It seems far-fetched to me. It seems far-fetched [02:42:03.530 --> 02:42:11.450] to me. To me it seems like a more logical explanation is someone somewhere somehow [02:42:11.450 --> 02:42:26.160] deleted that photo. Don't know how. They agree Abby's in the same clothes as she was in [02:42:27.450 --> 02:42:32.040] that day on the 13th. It looks like it's the same time and place so it doesn't look [02:42:32.040 --> 02:42:38.180] like it's a situation where a photo gets posted to Snapchat and it's like some old photo. [02:42:39.940 --> 02:42:43.240] Really does. It appears to be time and place accurate. [02:42:45.180 --> 02:42:49.700] Just can't really track down where it is. [02:42:52.360 --> 02:42:59.520] So if it had been... you can post things. They asked if you can post things that you upload [02:42:59.520 --> 02:43:06.180] to Snapchat. He says yeah you can but it would still be on the phone. You would find [02:43:06.180 --> 02:43:12.780] it somewhere on the phone. So he conceded that the phone, cell phone data, it's accurate, [02:43:12.860 --> 02:43:18.100] it's reliable, including the Apple Health data and including the KnowledgeSea database. These [02:43:18.100 --> 02:43:23.280] are hard sources of data is clearly what the defense wants to establish. [02:43:24.600 --> 02:43:30.920] She asked him about an encrypted cache. He did not know what this was. He said he wasn't [02:43:30.920 --> 02:43:40.620] aware of an encrypted cache. She asked him about what's called an UFED, which is an [02:43:40.620 --> 02:43:46.940] acronym for a Universal Forensic Extraction Device. She says that it has been around since [02:43:47.740 --> 02:43:54.280] 2007. She asked him, you know, she's like and this allows for a physical extraction. [02:43:54.400 --> 02:43:59.760] He first says no it does not but then he stopped and said well it could but it depends [02:43:59.760 --> 02:44:07.320] on the make and model of the phone whether that was going to be available before 2017. [02:44:08.240 --> 02:44:14.180] So this is harkening back to the first extraction that the first analyst did was the [02:44:14.180 --> 02:44:22.220] logical extraction which is very basic. And so she's just kind of pointing out or suggesting [02:44:22.220 --> 02:44:28.840] there could have been a much more thorough extraction done back in early 2017. [02:44:29.760 --> 02:44:36.180] So we got a little bit more description with this analyst of those different levels of extraction. [02:44:36.180 --> 02:44:41.660] We heard about the methods, the method one, method two, method three, and how method two [02:44:41.660 --> 02:44:46.920] and method three didn't become available until later. But so we got a little bit more, [02:44:46.940 --> 02:44:51.340] we didn't hear more about that but we got more of a breakdown of what the logical, [02:44:51.340 --> 02:45:00.140] the advanced logical, and the full file system extractions are. And so the logical he describes [02:45:00.140 --> 02:45:06.080] is typically what the user can see. So it's just the visible data on the phone, the things [02:45:06.080 --> 02:45:11.480] that you would be interacting with that you would have knowledge of. The advanced logical [02:45:11.480 --> 02:45:19.760] he said it's typically like an iPhone backup is what that's going after. Gets you just a [02:45:19.760 --> 02:45:26.600] bit more than the logical extraction. And then the full file system is what she described as [02:45:26.600 --> 02:45:31.600] the data under the hood. So it's the system files, it's logs, it's the knowledge C database, [02:45:31.760 --> 02:45:37.620] all of this stuff. This is where they drew out how Apple doesn't tell the forensic people [02:45:37.620 --> 02:45:41.940] what's in the phone. They have to figure it out and how to get to it. And so that's why [02:45:41.940 --> 02:45:48.460] the knowledge C database was unknown. She asked if he was familiar with a power off log. [02:45:48.460 --> 02:45:55.720] He was, although he referred to it as a shut down log. He acknowledged that the shut down [02:45:55.720 --> 02:46:03.060] log is volatile and that every time you power the phone it overwrites that log. And so [02:46:03.060 --> 02:46:13.340] when Bunner powered off the phone it would reset the log. And so because of that, [02:46:14.720 --> 02:46:24.200] that's why we don't have access to what time the phone was shut off back on February 14th. After [02:46:24.200 --> 02:46:29.260] it came alive, you know, for something in the morning and received all of the SMS messages. At [02:46:29.260 --> 02:46:35.460] some point it powered off because Bunner had to power it back on to do the extraction. But [02:46:35.460 --> 02:46:41.120] there's no log of it and we won't be able to find out when because it's been overwritten. [02:46:46.520 --> 02:46:52.840] Two iPhones, she confirmed again. We revisited this. They can use iMessaging, which is the [02:46:52.840 --> 02:47:00.780] encrypted message service that Apple provides to its users. And it uses SMS communications [02:47:00.780 --> 02:47:07.320] with androids. And so those, again, those don't use data. Those just use the cell network. [02:47:07.320 --> 02:47:17.960] When an iPhone talks with an Apple, they are using SMS. So she clarifies then, [02:47:18.260 --> 02:47:25.820] the phone, it received no calls or SMS messages between 4.06 p.m. on the 13th [02:47:25.820 --> 02:47:35.000] and 4.33 a.m. on the 14th. He had said previously that it received some iMessages [02:47:35.000 --> 02:47:46.420] throughout the night. But at 4.33, the distinction is that the SMS messages need [02:47:46.420 --> 02:47:53.960] the tower. And so at 4.33, it received 15 SMS messages and he did not know why. [02:47:55.400 --> 02:48:03.220] So Ms. Auger used what I think is a fairly commonplace example, a relatable type of [02:48:03.220 --> 02:48:08.680] example of if you go to an area where your phone is out of service and then you go back [02:48:08.680 --> 02:48:14.120] to where it's in service and the phone reconnects, all of these things will pop up on the phone. [02:48:16.940 --> 02:48:21.520] Does that happen? She asked him, does that happen to you? Yeah, that's happened to him. [02:48:22.300 --> 02:48:28.580] So that's clearly what she wants to imply is the reason for the SMS messages suddenly coming [02:48:28.580 --> 02:48:33.660] in at 4.33 a.m. is because that would be when the phone reconnected with the network. [02:48:34.120 --> 02:48:37.420] Everything else that went through is able to use the data system. [02:48:47.020 --> 02:48:53.100] Most SMS messages are timestamped at the time of receipt. So it's not until they actually [02:48:53.100 --> 02:48:58.300] land in the phone that they get timestamped. So all of those 15, 15 to 20 or whatever that [02:48:58.300 --> 02:49:04.280] they would be timestamped at the time of receipt. iMessages, by contrast, [02:49:04.680 --> 02:49:10.580] are timestamped at the time they are sent. So regardless of the time that they are received, [02:49:11.000 --> 02:49:16.940] it doesn't mean that the phone had power when those iMessages are timestamped. It doesn't mean [02:49:16.940 --> 02:49:23.480] that they are received. So the fact that it sounds like there are iMessages that are [02:49:23.480 --> 02:49:30.760] timestamped between the 4.06 p.m. and the 4.33 a.m., it doesn't mean that the phone had [02:49:30.760 --> 02:49:45.480] received them. And he conceded that point. He had had his deposition on September the 12th [02:49:46.400 --> 02:49:54.580] in that he acknowledges that the KnowledgeSea database, it exists on the phone, it contains [02:49:54.580 --> 02:50:00.260] information and that he had used all of the different extractions to prepare this very [02:50:00.260 --> 02:50:09.900] detailed 2017 report with the timeline. She introduced exhibit P, which is basically the [02:50:09.900 --> 02:50:16.820] original source of all of the... it sounds like it's all of the KnowledgeSea database. [02:50:16.820 --> 02:50:23.180] And then what he had done is he had gone through and selected the ones that [02:50:24.080 --> 02:50:32.280] seemed to be pertinent, seemed to be most helpful for interpreting the timeline in terms [02:50:32.280 --> 02:50:43.810] of events in the real world. So that original was admitted into evidence, but we did not [02:50:43.810 --> 02:50:53.310] really follow up on that. And that leads me to think this stage is being set for something [02:50:53.310 --> 02:50:58.470] that is coming in the future. Same thing with the reference to the encrypted cache, [02:50:59.170 --> 02:51:05.150] which he didn't know about. It sounds like that's something that she knows about from [02:51:05.150 --> 02:51:10.870] another source and so we will probably hear about that later. I'm filing that away for [02:51:10.870 --> 02:51:21.540] future reference. She confronted him on whether the phone would track the movement in a car [02:51:21.540 --> 02:51:26.120] because he said he had gone and researched it and he'd found this white paper that said [02:51:26.120 --> 02:51:37.000] sometimes on the speed bump it would record it. But you aren't able to know if it does or [02:51:37.000 --> 02:51:42.740] if it doesn't. He said the source is first off it's a preliminary research report so it's [02:51:42.740 --> 02:51:48.600] not like a final, thorough, peer-reviewed anything. It's some preliminary research that [02:51:48.600 --> 02:51:55.180] somebody has done. And it says that the iPhone sometimes mistakenly reports the speed bumps [02:51:55.180 --> 02:52:00.300] as steps. So not that it always does or even that it predictably does, just that it [02:52:00.300 --> 02:52:08.560] sometimes has happened. But also that it seems to be limited to speed bumps. Maybe that's [02:52:08.560 --> 02:52:15.800] of the elevation and the elevation is kind of similar to, you know, what you would do in a [02:52:15.800 --> 02:52:20.980] step. I don't know. I don't have an explanation for it. But it's just based on speed bumps. [02:52:21.320 --> 02:52:27.700] Otherwise, remember his earlier testimony was that the health app data is very accurate. [02:52:27.800 --> 02:52:37.200] Accurate and reliable. She pulled out that the gray key can and did recover some deleted [02:52:37.200 --> 02:52:45.340] files. This was also just sort of left hanging out there. This is what made me get thinking [02:52:45.340 --> 02:52:53.240] about that photo. The photo of Abby on the bridge that we can't find anywhere but somehow [02:52:53.240 --> 02:53:00.540] the defense has the original. Seems like it got deleted somehow. Don't know if it was [02:53:00.540 --> 02:53:06.280] intentional. Don't know if it's inadvertent. Don't know when or where or how. But that's [02:53:06.280 --> 02:53:11.020] the implication I got. That that's kind of the stage that's being set. They did in fact [02:53:11.020 --> 02:53:17.840] recover some deleted files. So didn't hear much about that from this expert. Think the stage is [02:53:17.840 --> 02:53:25.940] being set for whatever the defense has that they're going to bring. So she established again [02:53:25.940 --> 02:53:34.140] on February 23rd of 2017. Bunner conceded in his examination. He had connected the [02:53:34.140 --> 02:53:42.340] phone to a cell network and she got this witness to agree that as a digital forensic [02:53:42.340 --> 02:53:50.700] analyst that is typically a no-no. Because there's other ways that you can get cloud [02:53:50.700 --> 02:53:58.300] information and that can again it can just cause problems with loss of data. Data to be [02:53:58.300 --> 02:54:07.760] written things to be not what you want. She also elicited from him that you want to get [02:54:07.760 --> 02:54:14.080] everything the first time you do an extraction. Because every time you plug it in you're [02:54:14.080 --> 02:54:20.040] potentially losing data. Plus anytime the phone is powered on you are potentially losing [02:54:20.040 --> 02:54:29.920] over time. So there she is clearly getting at, you know, Bunner did an extraction, [02:54:30.140 --> 02:54:35.500] you know, did like four or five extractions that he described. Like several ones over and [02:54:35.500 --> 02:54:40.640] over and over again. The implication is that every time you do this you are potentially [02:54:40.640 --> 02:54:50.020] losing data in that phone. He agreed that with these analyses it's helpful to have a [02:54:50.020 --> 02:54:57.500] in 2019 the FBI requested the full file extraction that he had done and that he had asked [02:54:59.940 --> 02:55:07.720] Mr. Holman, deputy, is he deputy? I don't know his formal title, Jerry Holman, [02:55:08.060 --> 02:55:13.640] if he could provide it. You can't ask him what Jerry Holman said because that would be [02:55:13.640 --> 02:55:19.320] hearsay. But so asked him what he did at that point and his answer was he did not [02:55:19.320 --> 02:55:28.020] follow up. So he didn't give the FBI the new extraction. They didn't want the FBI [02:55:28.020 --> 02:55:35.340] looking at the new extraction. This is troubling. This is troubling. This is alarming. We just [02:55:35.340 --> 02:55:42.840] have heard over and over again. More information is better. More information is better in an [02:55:42.840 --> 02:55:46.000] investigation. That's going to get you closer to the truth. But you don't want to know [02:55:46.000 --> 02:55:54.040] the FBI is going to tell you is on this phone. That's not good. Really not good. [02:56:00.060 --> 02:56:08.160] We had what really looked like a very strong moment here at the conclusion of the defense [02:56:08.160 --> 02:56:20.720] case. Ms. Auger got him to say she confirmed that he had also extracted Richard Allen's [02:56:20.720 --> 02:56:27.740] devices. She went and stood next to Mr. Allen. She had her hand on his shoulder [02:56:27.740 --> 02:56:33.600] and she says nothing that you found ties Richard Allen to Liberty German. [02:56:34.540 --> 02:56:43.420] Nothing in those devices ties him to Abby Williams and nothing that you found in those [02:56:43.420 --> 02:56:48.860] devices tied him to this murder. And he agreed with all of those propositions. [02:56:49.340 --> 02:56:56.460] Nothing in the extractions of Richard Allen's devices tied him to that. This was very [02:56:56.460 --> 02:57:06.200] powerful. Unfortunately, it went very south when Mr. McClelland got up on his redirect. [02:57:08.560 --> 02:57:15.160] So the first thing he addressed is that he confirmed data is lost when the phone is turned [02:57:15.160 --> 02:57:30.040] on and off. Not only revisited the issue of the 2017 and the 2019 extractions, [02:57:30.100 --> 02:57:34.820] remember we had that discrepancy between didn't compare them, but they matched, [02:57:34.940 --> 02:57:38.420] but they didn't match, right? They're kind of all over the place with this. [02:57:38.980 --> 02:57:44.680] Didn't compare them, they didn't match, but then they did match. So he clarifies now at [02:57:44.680 --> 02:57:53.140] this point that it was only the user created content that he got from Bunner's extraction [02:57:53.140 --> 02:57:58.860] because that's what you get from the logical file extraction. So all of that stuff matched, [02:57:59.400 --> 02:58:10.240] right? But his extraction is going to have a lot more. So yeah, he got the same stuff out [02:58:10.240 --> 02:58:17.600] Bunner had originally gotten out in that first extraction, but it doesn't speak to like, [02:58:18.300 --> 02:58:24.100] does that mean stuff didn't get deleted then or whatever. So whatever implication they were [02:58:24.100 --> 02:58:29.040] trying to draw, like to suggest everything you want is it was it was all fine what they did [02:58:29.040 --> 02:58:33.760] back in 2017 because the data matched what you got in 2019. No, they're just saying [02:58:33.760 --> 02:58:39.860] this was limited data that you got in 2017 and that was still there in 2019. The stuff [02:58:39.860 --> 02:58:45.780] we pulled in 2019, we already heard from him from GreyKey, it's pulling much much more [02:58:45.780 --> 02:58:53.200] information and you're able to parse more information from that. So it's not like a [02:58:53.200 --> 02:59:00.080] one-to-one match. It's a very limited stuff that matched and the use of the phone data [02:59:00.080 --> 02:59:06.120] that's held in the KnowledgeSea database, that is only available in the 2019 extraction. [02:59:06.920 --> 02:59:13.020] So no way to tell what's not there because it was never there in 2017 in the first place. [02:59:15.900 --> 02:59:24.600] So he confirmed that the phone was not shut down until some time after 4 33 a.m. on February [02:59:24.600 --> 02:59:30.780] the 14th, but we of course we don't know when. And there's no movement recorded again [02:59:30.780 --> 02:59:39.720] after 2 33 p.m. on February 13. So no more steps recorded. Here's where things went very south. [02:59:41.100 --> 02:59:46.640] When Ms. Auger was asking that question about Richard Allen's extractions, I immediately [02:59:46.640 --> 02:59:51.020] thought why isn't he objecting to it being beyond the scope? We've seen that happen before, [02:59:51.020 --> 02:59:56.480] right? He actually did it. He actually did it just before with some of the questions [02:59:57.090 --> 03:00:06.380] that she had asked. When she was asking about is it bad for an analyst to connect to the [03:00:06.380 --> 03:00:14.560] wireless, to the cellular network, Mr. McClellan had objected to that as beyond the scope. [03:00:14.660 --> 03:00:24.740] And she was saying they talked about this on direct and so it was overruled. So [03:00:24.740 --> 03:00:29.700] he knows this objection. It's not like, oh, he's maybe not used to using that one, [03:00:29.760 --> 03:00:33.620] doesn't think about it or whatever. He had literally just used it and she's [03:00:33.620 --> 03:00:38.680] switching gears to something that is clearly not what they had talked about on direct, [03:00:38.780 --> 03:00:43.320] this extraction of Richard Allen's devices. I had noticed that at the time, huh? He's [03:00:43.320 --> 03:00:50.680] not objecting. Reminds me of, what is it, Napoleon? Is it Napoleon that said never [03:00:50.680 --> 03:00:55.320] interrupt your enemy when he's in the middle of making a mistake? Oh, this is very [03:00:55.320 --> 03:01:04.120] devastating. So he elicited that they analyzed 23 devices that they got when they executed [03:01:04.120 --> 03:01:11.740] that search warrant at Richard Allen's home. They knew what the release dates were for all [03:01:11.740 --> 03:01:21.920] his cell phones. So what they had is they had the individual identifiers for his devices, [03:01:22.080 --> 03:01:28.600] the IMEI or the NEID, I guess is another one that they may use for cell phones. [03:01:28.720 --> 03:01:37.980] It's a unique identifier for all cell phones. So they had the IMEI for his cell phone in 2017, [03:01:37.980 --> 03:01:42.100] the one that he had then. They probably subpoenaed it from the carrier. Didn't say [03:01:42.100 --> 03:01:49.340] that explicitly, but I would suspect that's how they got it. Because they then compared [03:01:49.340 --> 03:01:57.580] that IMEI to the list of devices that they seized from the house. And the 2017 phone [03:01:57.580 --> 03:02:02.580] wasn't included in the analysis. They didn't find it in the house. [03:02:04.600 --> 03:02:16.000] That's where he ended. That's really devastating. Really devastating. Because, one, you the defense [03:02:16.000 --> 03:02:21.680] really oversold your position. And now you look sketchy. Now you look shady. Now you look [03:02:21.680 --> 03:02:28.360] like you're trying to mislead the jury about what they knew. Of course, if you didn't have [03:02:29.080 --> 03:02:33.720] 2017 devices, they wouldn't show any connection with Abbey or Libby or with the murders. [03:02:34.360 --> 03:02:44.120] Of course, they wouldn't show that. But when you have 23 devices that they analyzed, [03:02:44.600 --> 03:02:49.720] we don't know what those devices were. A device can be a lot of things. It can be a [03:02:49.720 --> 03:02:53.720] cell phone, but it can be a laptop. It can be an external hard drive. It can be a thumb [03:02:53.720 --> 03:02:57.280] drive. It can be a lot of different things that will store data. [03:03:00.810 --> 03:03:05.510] And now I think it's going to be really important that we know exactly what all [03:03:05.510 --> 03:03:12.010] 23 of those devices are. Because if somebody just doesn't have their 2017 phone anymore [03:03:12.010 --> 03:03:18.450] in 2022 when he's arrested and the search warrant is executed before he's arrested, [03:03:18.770 --> 03:03:23.990] but at that general time frame, that in and of itself I don't think is too unusual. [03:03:23.990 --> 03:03:33.910] Who keeps their old cell phone for five years without updating it? I'm not going to say I [03:03:33.910 --> 03:03:41.010] never have. I find it a pain to upgrade the phone, so I probably suffer through an old [03:03:41.010 --> 03:03:47.330] outdated phone longer than I really should. Jeff can tell you I had a phone that I cracked [03:03:47.330 --> 03:03:56.470] screen and I so didn't want to go through the updating, the changing it over to the new phone [03:03:56.470 --> 03:04:01.970] that I was using this cracked phone for, I don't know, months, many months. It drove [03:04:01.970 --> 03:04:06.510] him nuts. He hated it. It didn't really bother me that much. So that's me with [03:04:06.510 --> 03:04:11.150] my cell phones. I'll hang on to one forever. But I think most people, it's really not [03:04:11.150 --> 03:04:17.230] uncommon. New model comes out. Your old one is getting slow because you've [03:04:17.230 --> 03:04:21.550] loaded it up with apps and stuff like that. You just get a new phone, you trade in the old one. [03:04:22.590 --> 03:04:29.250] In and of itself would not be that strange to not have the 2017 phone in 2022. [03:04:29.770 --> 03:04:34.630] But we need to know what all of these other devices are now because if he had devices [03:04:34.630 --> 03:04:40.210] that were older than that, and it's like just the 2017 phone that's missing, [03:04:40.890 --> 03:04:46.750] holy cow, does that look bad? Is that incriminating or what? We need to know now. [03:04:50.050 --> 03:04:57.130] Big, big, big own goal by the defense, in my view, on that one. So Ms. Auger did [03:04:57.130 --> 03:05:05.050] do a very brief redirect. She clarified, yes, he had gotten the devices on November the 8th [03:05:05.050 --> 03:05:14.410] of 2022. That was just sort of where she left it. Yes, five years after the murders. [03:05:14.410 --> 03:05:21.610] Uh-huh. But you're the one who implied they would have had the 2017 phone [03:05:21.610 --> 03:05:28.050] when they did the extractions, because otherwise, of course, they didn't have any [03:05:28.050 --> 03:05:37.780] link with Richard Allen and the murders in Libby and Abbey. And then just reiterated [03:05:37.780 --> 03:05:43.940] that this after 2.32 p.m. when the phone stopped moving or 2.33 p.m. when the phone [03:05:43.940 --> 03:05:48.900] stops moving on on April 13th that the Apple Health data records the steps. And so if they [03:05:48.900 --> 03:05:57.900] had been if it was in a car, it wouldn't necessarily record steps. So providing some [03:05:57.900 --> 03:06:02.200] evidence, some some implication there supporting that defense theory that maybe there was a [03:06:02.200 --> 03:06:07.800] maybe there was a car down at the drive at the far end of the bridge that would have [03:06:07.800 --> 03:06:11.340] taken the girls away from the scene. And if that had happened, there wouldn't have been [03:06:11.340 --> 03:06:13.500] there wouldn't have been step data recorded. [03:06:17.340 --> 03:06:24.360] The defense has put a really big burden on itself with its own expert to support this [03:06:24.360 --> 03:06:31.380] theory now in my mind, because they're they're putting these pieces together, right? OK, [03:06:31.440 --> 03:06:35.960] no Apple Health data doesn't mean that the girls themselves didn't move. It just means they [03:06:35.960 --> 03:06:40.100] didn't walk. So they could have been transported by car. That's consistent with [03:06:40.100 --> 03:06:46.140] defense theory. They could have been transported by the car out of the tower range. That would [03:06:46.140 --> 03:06:50.120] also be consistent with the defense theory. You know, this is it went out of range and [03:06:50.120 --> 03:06:56.140] then it came back in. That's when the SMS messages flooded in. But if the phone is on [03:06:56.140 --> 03:07:01.280] this whole time, there's other sources of location data on that phone. And they better [03:07:01.280 --> 03:07:10.420] be able to show me some that moved. They better be able to show me the phone powered [03:07:10.420 --> 03:07:14.920] off and back on. They better be able to show me location data that moved. I mean, [03:07:15.100 --> 03:07:22.820] something that's that's going to that's going to corroborate that. Because otherwise [03:07:24.300 --> 03:07:25.920] it just seems like [03:07:28.400 --> 03:07:37.120] this this this absence of location data after 2000 after 223 p.m. [03:07:38.560 --> 03:07:43.440] There's not a good explanation for it, right? I haven't heard an explanation for it why that [03:07:43.440 --> 03:07:49.860] would be cell tower. Sure, it could be it could be you lost power. It could be that you went [03:07:49.860 --> 03:07:54.500] out of service, but you don't go out of service of the satellites. Satellites are always [03:07:54.500 --> 03:08:00.060] there. You know, there's always something that that you can connect to. So if the phone was on, [03:08:00.500 --> 03:08:06.280] should be connected to satellite and things that are using location services should be [03:08:06.280 --> 03:08:15.800] tracking location data. I haven't heard anything about that. It's strange. [03:08:19.230 --> 03:08:24.070] I'm going to want to hear about that from the defense if if they want to substantiate [03:08:24.070 --> 03:08:31.730] a theory that the that the girls left. I suppose they can, you know, still hang on. [03:08:31.810 --> 03:08:35.450] Well, it's possible. And so if it's possible, it's a reasonable doubt. You know, [03:08:35.450 --> 03:08:38.890] it's consistent with the evidence. They don't have the burden of proof, of course. [03:08:43.840 --> 03:08:49.640] But this is just I'm just I'm having a hard time reconciling this. And I feel like this was just [03:08:49.640 --> 03:08:55.940] such a major misstep with the jury. They made themselves unnecessarily look shady [03:08:56.480 --> 03:09:01.800] to score the point. And it was a it was a it was a strong point for the brief moment [03:09:01.800 --> 03:09:10.040] that it lasted. And once it came undone now, unfortunately, I think the jury is is not [03:09:10.040 --> 03:09:15.480] trusting the defense on the on the on the phone data. And so it's very unfortunate, [03:09:15.740 --> 03:09:19.480] got all these concessions. The phone data is the hard data. It's the reliable stuff. [03:09:19.900 --> 03:09:24.460] But now I feel like they have kind of by that move assumed a burden on themselves [03:09:26.060 --> 03:09:30.880] to substantiate what they're saying. They can't be trusted to just have the [03:09:30.880 --> 03:09:35.620] implication. And that's it's just it's very unfortunate, very big own goal. [03:09:37.980 --> 03:09:43.900] A whole bunch of jury questions about the cell phone stuff like like four pages of jury [03:09:43.900 --> 03:09:47.400] questions, three and a half pages of jury questions about the cell phone stuff. [03:09:48.140 --> 03:09:56.280] I tried to capture. I'm pretty sure I captured them. Hopefully, I hopefully I got most of the [03:09:56.280 --> 03:10:01.920] details. By the way, at this point in time, I had another I had just I was blessed. I had [03:10:01.920 --> 03:10:09.220] many blessings around me today. And one of those blessings was was lawyer Lee. I was having I [03:10:09.220 --> 03:10:15.660] had three pins today. Okay. They all ran dry. So I had I had my pin that I came into court with. [03:10:16.080 --> 03:10:22.200] It ran dry. I had actually given lawyer Lee one of my pins yesterday. She like wanted to [03:10:22.200 --> 03:10:25.920] try it out. I was like, Oh, yeah, go ahead and take one and try it. Who nice pin, [03:10:25.920 --> 03:10:32.320] and so so she'd had my pin. And I was like, I'm so sorry, because this happened mid morning [03:10:32.320 --> 03:10:37.620] before lunchtime. I was like, I'm so sorry. Can I can I get that pin back from you? My pin [03:10:37.620 --> 03:10:43.800] has gone dry. Very kindly give me my pin back. So I use that pin. And it also went dry. [03:10:44.060 --> 03:10:49.040] It was like going dry before lunch. I'm sitting here shaking my pins, you know, to get as [03:10:49.040 --> 03:10:52.980] much ink down to the tip as I can. Like, let's just get it. Can we get to lunch? [03:10:52.980 --> 03:10:58.660] Because I got a pin in my car, I can run out to my car and get get that pin. So I did I ran out [03:10:58.660 --> 03:11:07.120] to my car and I got that pin and I brought it in and it started to go dry. So Lee kindly, [03:11:07.380 --> 03:11:12.160] kindly gave me one of her pins. Here's here's my pins. Here's Lee's pin. I got a Lee pin. [03:11:12.200 --> 03:11:22.960] It's actually quite a nice pin, too. I really like it. It's this is Sharpie S gel. It's [03:11:23.600 --> 03:11:30.520] Thank you to lawyer Lee for saving my skin with getting all of these jury questions. [03:11:30.660 --> 03:11:35.480] I would not have gotten them without her pin. I'm going to give her one of my [03:11:35.480 --> 03:11:39.140] another one of my pins again tomorrow. So we got we got a fair trade there. [03:11:39.600 --> 03:11:46.360] So first jury question was in the first report, the picture of the Monon High Bridge [03:11:46.360 --> 03:11:55.460] the Monon High Bridge at 205 with nobody in the image. Did you locate it? He said he did not. [03:11:58.360 --> 03:12:05.360] That I thought he said that he did. This was when they went through [03:12:05.760 --> 03:12:13.240] the cross examination, they very specifically walked through the pictures from the different [03:12:13.240 --> 03:12:20.360] frames and they had been posted by Snapchat. They said specifically the 205 one it was found [03:12:20.360 --> 03:12:26.580] in the Snapchat cache. It was just the 207 one, which is the one of Abby on the bridge [03:12:26.580 --> 03:12:31.800] that they weren't able to find. So he said he didn't locate it. But I don't think that's [03:12:31.800 --> 03:12:39.160] right. Or I think maybe. I don't know. I can't explain his answer. He said no, [03:12:39.160 --> 03:12:46.000] previously he had said yes. In the timeline on the first report, there were a whole bunch of [03:12:46.000 --> 03:12:53.000] blank spaces under the event section. It was like empty spaces. They asked what are those about? [03:12:53.940 --> 03:13:00.020] And he said it had to do with the battery levels. He was trying to track that separately [03:13:00.680 --> 03:13:08.540] from the other info, the battery info from the other information. So that's what these [03:13:09.220 --> 03:13:15.600] spaces were when that exhibit is someday maybe ultimately made public and we're able to see that. [03:13:17.060 --> 03:13:20.940] Then we'll have a better idea maybe of what that one is about. [03:13:23.500 --> 03:13:30.120] Auger then clarified, okay, this was it. Auger clarified that 205, he did not print [03:13:30.120 --> 03:13:35.820] that picture. So I think he did locate it. It was just that he didn't print it. [03:13:36.720 --> 03:13:41.300] So that was, I think, the discrepancy between those answers. [03:13:43.780 --> 03:13:49.480] Next question. How does a phone receive iMessages, calls, et cetera, but not SMS [03:13:49.480 --> 03:13:55.460] without a cell connection? And he said he had no answer for that. [03:13:58.420 --> 03:14:03.280] He doesn't have an answer for how a phone would be receiving iMessages, calls, et cetera, [03:14:03.280 --> 03:14:12.560] not SMS without the cell tower connection. Yeah, I don't know... [03:14:12.560 --> 03:14:19.040] I don't know the answer to that either because that data information is transmitted through the [03:14:19.040 --> 03:14:24.700] cell towers. That's not the satellite stuff is the location data stuff, but you're not [03:14:24.700 --> 03:14:29.280] running your data system by a satellite unless you got Starlink. And that's not what we're [03:14:29.280 --> 03:14:37.920] talking about. So that is also, that is peculiar. He doesn't know because it seems like [03:14:39.880 --> 03:14:44.660] maybe the phone is connected to the network, but it also seems like maybe the phone is not [03:14:44.660 --> 03:14:50.220] connected to the network. He has no answer. I will be interested to see if there is a [03:14:50.220 --> 03:14:57.860] defense expert who has an answer. Question. Did you check to see if AT&T had tower issues [03:14:57.860 --> 03:15:10.260] at that time? No. Ms. Auger clarified that he would not do that. Other investigators would do [03:15:10.260 --> 03:15:17.700] that. But we haven't heard anything about other investigators doing that. I wonder if they did. [03:15:18.320 --> 03:15:24.500] Maybe. I don't know. But that really does seem like that should be a really obvious follow [03:15:24.500 --> 03:15:29.280] up. If there's sketchy stuff going on with connectivity, we would check the tower. [03:15:30.040 --> 03:15:34.720] I don't know if there's something going on in the tower that would affect the ability to get [03:15:34.720 --> 03:15:44.560] SMS, but not to use these other message types. No idea. Question. Does Snapchat save [03:15:44.560 --> 03:15:52.660] photos that are not uploaded to the story? Answer. No. Ms. Auger said, but you'd expect [03:15:52.660 --> 03:16:00.960] uploaded photos to be there. I think if they were uploaded the stories, [03:16:01.160 --> 03:16:08.660] you'd expect them to be there. And the answer is yes. Question. Do pictures [03:16:08.660 --> 03:16:13.960] sent via Snapchat, not through the stories, but just through the other Snapchat function? [03:16:14.000 --> 03:16:17.600] I don't know if it's messages or just like some other. I don't know Snapchat, like I said. [03:16:18.200 --> 03:16:26.580] Do pictures sent the other way via Snapchat get saved? He did not know. Mr. McLeiland asked, [03:16:26.720 --> 03:16:34.660] if it's uploaded to the story, where is it saved? He didn't know. He speculated that the [03:16:34.660 --> 03:16:41.020] story photos would be saved in the cache, but he said that would be speculation. And Ms. [03:16:41.280 --> 03:16:47.580] Auger pointed out and confirmed that three of these photos had been saved in the Snapchat [03:16:47.580 --> 03:16:58.900] cache. Question. Can iMessages be sent via cell service? Yes. And Ms. Auger again just confirmed [03:16:58.900 --> 03:17:04.240] they are timestamped as of the time they are sent, not the time that they are received. So [03:17:04.240 --> 03:17:08.580] that could explain part of that discrepancy about not receiving [03:17:11.420 --> 03:17:16.680] iMessages. The iMessages, the timestamp would be... it wouldn't be accurate. If it came [03:17:16.680 --> 03:17:24.140] in at... the report would show it coming in with the timestamp of the time that it was sent, [03:17:24.160 --> 03:17:31.380] but that doesn't necessarily mean that the phone had received it. So it would not be that [03:17:31.380 --> 03:17:38.240] the phone had received calls and texts and iMessages and SMS messages, but not SMS messages [03:17:38.240 --> 03:17:45.300] during that time frame. We don't know if it received the iMessages. So then we're still [03:17:45.300 --> 03:17:50.860] with calls and texts. I would love to know about their timestamping. Is it the same [03:17:50.860 --> 03:17:57.500] as the iMessages or is it different? Do we know if the phone was actually receiving this [03:17:57.500 --> 03:18:02.420] stuff during that time frame or is it just timestamped because it was being sent then? [03:18:05.340 --> 03:18:11.900] Question. How much data is lost if the phone is off for a month? He doesn't know. [03:18:15.020 --> 03:18:20.460] Question. Is the month a period of 30 days [03:18:23.260 --> 03:18:29.300] between powering it on and off or is it a calendar month? He did not know. [03:18:29.940 --> 03:18:34.180] This I think is just relating back to when he said some data is stored for weeks, some [03:18:34.180 --> 03:18:42.840] data is stored for months. What does that mean? What's a month? We don't know what a month is. [03:18:45.990 --> 03:18:56.910] Asked if the Method 1 extraction garnished the Knowledge C database. That information, [03:18:57.190 --> 03:19:04.070] so that original Method 1 extraction, did that pull the Knowledge C database? The answer was [03:19:04.070 --> 03:19:10.680] no, it did not. So that's why they needed to do that later extraction in 2019 with the [03:19:10.680 --> 03:19:20.900] key. Question. Could the Snapchat photos be deleted in the Knowledge C database without app [03:19:20.900 --> 03:19:30.640] usage? He didn't know but thought no. So Ms. Ogier followed up to just establish that [03:19:30.640 --> 03:19:39.180] the Snapchat photos are not stored in Knowledge C. So no is probably the right answer. But [03:19:41.280 --> 03:19:46.520] you use... I mean, who knows? I guess, yeah, if they weren't in the answer to the question, [03:19:46.840 --> 03:19:51.380] if Snapchat photos aren't in the Knowledge C database in the first place, then no, [03:19:51.380 --> 03:19:56.580] they can't be deleted off the database by anything at all. So it was just basically a [03:19:56.580 --> 03:20:06.140] question that is nonsensical in that sense. Question. Could a picture not be added to the [03:20:06.820 --> 03:20:13.280] on battery life? He said he does not think there is any relationship with the battery. [03:20:14.620 --> 03:20:21.840] He does not know if it's possible for a photo to not be saved to the Snapchat [03:20:21.840 --> 03:20:32.550] cache or if that could be affected by user activity. Could the Snapchat cache photos not [03:20:32.550 --> 03:20:40.230] exist depending on how posted or whether they were not posted? He did not know the answer [03:20:40.230 --> 03:20:48.310] to that question. I think this is a similar issue with just the previous question about [03:20:48.310 --> 03:20:53.870] if there are stories, if they're used the regular, how does this stuff get stored? He [03:20:53.870 --> 03:21:02.330] doesn't know the ins and outs of the Snapchat storage. And I guess he has not... maybe nobody [03:21:02.330 --> 03:21:06.470] knows. I don't know. Maybe he hasn't bothered to know. I don't know the answer to that, [03:21:06.470 --> 03:21:14.470] but he doesn't know. Mr. McLeiland again reconfirmed the 207 picture. It was not [03:21:14.470 --> 03:21:19.210] recovered and he doesn't have an answer for why that one was not collected when the other [03:21:19.210 --> 03:21:35.330] ones were. He doesn't have an answer. Ms. Auger asked if... confirmed that the Snapchat [03:21:35.970 --> 03:21:45.660] could be accessed from another device. Maybe that's the implication. It was deleted [03:21:46.180 --> 03:21:54.420] by another device. Really don't know. Question, does the app give us a start and [03:21:54.420 --> 03:22:00.440] end time for the two flights of stairs? This is a very good question, I thought, because [03:22:00.440 --> 03:22:07.800] it didn't have a specific time data associated with it. And so the answer was no, that was [03:22:07.800 --> 03:22:15.340] included in the other movement data that basically while there were steps being recorded over a [03:22:15.340 --> 03:22:22.460] different time frame, the elevation change occurred during that point. So we don't have [03:22:22.460 --> 03:22:30.420] specific time data that's exactly from the time of the start of the rise or the descent [03:22:30.420 --> 03:22:39.780] to the end point. Also reconfirmed that we do not know if that data is up or down. [03:22:40.220 --> 03:22:48.160] Seems fairly logical to assume that it's down consistent with the girls going down the hill. [03:22:49.580 --> 03:22:57.440] But it was just encapsulated in this time frame where he says there were 50.60 meters. [03:22:59.280 --> 03:23:05.360] That was the distance and it occurred during that movement. [03:23:07.100 --> 03:23:16.380] Question, what happened to Apple Health data between 2.18 and 2.25? And he says the phone [03:23:16.380 --> 03:23:23.980] was not moving at that time. Again, I think he means there's no steps being taken at that time. [03:23:25.100 --> 03:23:34.620] 2.18 to 2.25, that's a fairly significant period of time of our abduction, right? [03:23:35.220 --> 03:23:43.600] And at some point in here, we're being trapped, we're crossing the river. Maybe this is where [03:23:43.600 --> 03:23:49.080] Mr. McClelland is going to piece together like they had stopped because he's going to have his [03:23:49.080 --> 03:23:55.880] way with them but gets interrupted. And so it's after that that they cross the creek [03:23:55.880 --> 03:24:04.680] and then the killing occurs. I still don't think we have enough time for everything [03:24:04.680 --> 03:24:10.020] that happened at that crime scene. And it just doesn't make sense still. It doesn't make [03:24:10.020 --> 03:24:17.240] sense if you're in a hurry. Why are you moving the bodies? I mean, they are clearly moved. [03:24:17.860 --> 03:24:23.880] This is not a situation in this crime scene given where the blood pools are located and [03:24:23.880 --> 03:24:34.720] just the patterns and everything. Whether they died there or not, I've expressed my [03:24:34.720 --> 03:24:38.440] skepticism. It doesn't seem like there's enough blood to me, but I am not an expert [03:24:38.440 --> 03:24:44.020] and yes, different things can affect it how fast the soil flows. I mean, maybe it does. Maybe [03:24:44.020 --> 03:24:51.360] just seeps into the soil. I don't know. But what I do know is that if you are going to [03:24:52.340 --> 03:24:58.420] kill somebody by cutting their throat and you're in a hurry, you cut their throat, [03:24:59.560 --> 03:25:05.280] drop them on the ground or whatever, they die in place, the blood is going to just pool [03:25:05.280 --> 03:25:12.500] there and around. And then that's where that puddle will be. And that's where there will be [03:25:12.500 --> 03:25:17.440] the seepage. And that's not what we have at this crime scene. So at a bare minimum, we have [03:25:17.440 --> 03:25:24.600] what appears to be some movement of the bodies at the crime scene. And then these branches [03:25:24.600 --> 03:25:30.160] put on top of them that is not remotely concealing. It's just not remotely concealing. [03:25:30.640 --> 03:25:35.600] I don't know why we did that. If we're in a hurry, especially, I don't know why we're [03:25:35.600 --> 03:25:42.300] doing that. And that's even before we get to, you know, this very open question to me of [03:25:42.300 --> 03:25:48.160] was Abby, it just, it does, it seems like she was washed. It seems like she was bathed. She [03:25:48.160 --> 03:25:55.440] was so clean. She was so clean, especially those hands. And compared to the very bloody [03:25:55.440 --> 03:26:01.800] hands that Libby had that the pathologist explains, this is probably the instinctive [03:26:01.800 --> 03:26:10.840] response to cover the wound. Abby's wound, she would not have died as fast. Seemed even [03:26:10.840 --> 03:26:14.600] more likely, you know, she would have she would have had it on her hands, but her hands [03:26:14.600 --> 03:26:22.900] are pristine. You're not washing her if you're in a hurry. So still a lot of problems [03:26:22.900 --> 03:26:29.480] with the state's theory for me. But this, I guess, could be part of their explanation. This [03:26:29.480 --> 03:26:37.020] is like a seven minute pause. And, and it's after that, that that may be that he orders [03:26:37.020 --> 03:26:43.440] the girls across the creek. How did you determine that Richard Allen had no connection [03:26:43.440 --> 03:26:50.960] to Abby and Libby or murders from the phone data? And he said, this was there was no [03:26:50.960 --> 03:26:57.680] information on the phone about them, no interaction, no indication that he ever knew them. [03:26:58.320 --> 03:27:03.840] So this, I think, also, like deflated that defense point quite a bit, because it wasn't [03:27:03.840 --> 03:27:09.100] that he was saying, like, there's the location data on the phone puts him somewhere else, [03:27:09.300 --> 03:27:13.260] or like, we can't get location data on the phone that puts him anywhere near the bridge, [03:27:13.260 --> 03:27:20.920] or anything like that, that hard, reliable data that the defense was was so bullish on. [03:27:21.220 --> 03:27:25.800] It's not that it's just that they didn't have proof of any kind of interaction, [03:27:25.820 --> 03:27:33.400] or that they had known each other. Mr. McClelland elicits, he did locate internet [03:27:33.400 --> 03:27:39.640] search history about them, about the girls. Ms. Auger then just clarified, though, [03:27:39.640 --> 03:27:48.280] this was after the murders had taken place. So not necessarily that incriminating, probably [03:27:48.280 --> 03:27:54.240] lots of people in the area did internet searches about the girls after the murders [03:27:54.240 --> 03:28:00.160] had taken place. She also elicited that we don't know who performed that search. [03:28:00.860 --> 03:28:05.340] There's no way to no way to track that. It's just a search that took place on the device, [03:28:05.340 --> 03:28:13.280] and we don't know who has access to the device, and all that stuff. So guys, that was the day. [03:28:13.460 --> 03:28:18.980] That's what we got. Like I said, a little little over about two thirds of a right about [03:28:18.980 --> 03:28:26.040] two thirds of a notepad. So not quite as much as in the past days, but still still quite a [03:28:26.040 --> 03:28:35.300] bit of information. And so I hope you can see now how the day was very unsatisfying in the [03:28:35.300 --> 03:28:42.540] that we didn't know about. But did that answer the deeper questions about the case? Not really. [03:28:43.620 --> 03:28:50.200] Not really. There is just still a lot of stuff that is that is open, that is really up in the [03:28:50.200 --> 03:28:55.360] air that we that we don't know. And I don't know if we're going to get those gaps filled [03:28:55.360 --> 03:29:02.380] in. I'm starting to I'm starting to doubt that. It's unfortunate, because everybody wants [03:29:02.380 --> 03:29:08.070] answers. Everybody wants to know what happened to the girls real definitively. And I am just not [03:29:08.860 --> 03:29:17.540] real confident we're going to get that. I'm still not I'm still not on the state's theory [03:29:17.540 --> 03:29:23.760] as far as the timeline goes, as far as just the the mechanism and stuff goes. [03:29:23.760 --> 03:29:35.400] I'm not on the theory. I'm still not convinced that Richard Allen particularly fits the [03:29:35.400 --> 03:29:42.740] description of bridge guy. We had all of these commonalities in the descriptions of bridge guy. [03:29:45.580 --> 03:29:54.040] Average too tall height, young, although that not so much. We didn't get that so much from [03:29:54.040 --> 03:29:58.400] Ms. Carbaugh today. She she indicated that she had estimated that the age to be older. [03:29:58.700 --> 03:30:03.460] So that that's that's no longer like universal between all of them. But two of them, [03:30:03.460 --> 03:30:09.560] you know, had indicated young or three of them had had indicated young because because [03:30:09.560 --> 03:30:18.100] Betsy Blair had had said that also. And two of them, two of the four thought he was muscular, [03:30:18.180 --> 03:30:29.900] muscular build. I mean, the defining the very distinctive physical characteristic of Mr. Allen, [03:30:29.940 --> 03:30:35.600] if you're going to describe him and say he's short. He's a short man. And that is not, [03:30:35.600 --> 03:30:42.300] you know, what came up in any of these any of these descriptions. So I'm not [03:30:42.300 --> 03:30:49.380] convinced he matches the description of bridge guy. But we also don't have him accounted for [03:30:49.380 --> 03:30:54.760] out at the bridge. And he acknowledges he was there. I mean, he puts himself there. [03:30:55.560 --> 03:31:01.800] And so this is just this is this is tough stuff to put together because [03:31:05.160 --> 03:31:11.780] if he wasn't bridge guy, but he's out there in the time in the same general time frame, then [03:31:12.580 --> 03:31:17.830] how come nobody saw him? They saw all these other people. They saw each other. [03:31:19.280 --> 03:31:26.040] But but they didn't see him. And he also I believe in in in his statement to the police, [03:31:26.120 --> 03:31:32.820] he he acknowledged he acknowledged passing the girls that the three girls, the Voorhees girls [03:31:32.820 --> 03:31:45.480] and and Brie Wilbur. Well, they only describe passing bridge guy. Although Brie Wilbur was [03:31:45.480 --> 03:31:54.100] a little bit more. She was a little bit more loose as far as just saying they, you know, [03:31:54.100 --> 03:31:58.160] they were passing people out there. Like, for example, she was saying that the reason why [03:31:58.160 --> 03:32:02.080] guys stood out is because they were passing people on the trail and [03:32:03.980 --> 03:32:07.760] Ms. Voorhees was saying hi and everybody would say hi back because this is a small [03:32:07.760 --> 03:32:17.570] town and that's just the kind of community it is. So maybe they did pass him and just [03:32:17.570 --> 03:32:25.070] didn't take any notice of him. Separate from bridge guy. I don't know. I just don't know. [03:32:28.010 --> 03:32:33.270] A lot of questions, guys. I still got a lot of questions. The more this case goes on, [03:32:33.390 --> 03:32:39.690] day eight, we're on day eight here. And I almost feel like I have more questions [03:32:39.690 --> 03:32:47.530] now than than when than when we started. I really do. I just I'm not sure what to [03:32:47.530 --> 03:32:53.930] make of this at this point. And I guess the the the thing to do then is to just continue [03:32:53.930 --> 03:33:02.930] to do what Mr. Baldwin has has implored us to do and wait. I'll keep waiting. I'll keep [03:33:02.930 --> 03:33:08.630] waiting. I'll see I'll see what else the state has. I will definitely wait and see what the [03:33:08.630 --> 03:33:14.450] defense has. It certainly seems like they are even even today that they were laying some [03:33:14.450 --> 03:33:23.110] foundations for things to come that I don't know what they are. But I sure hope for [03:33:23.110 --> 03:33:30.590] everybody's sake that we start to get more answers as this goes on, because so far, [03:33:31.270 --> 03:33:36.510] I don't think anybody's getting closure from this. That's that's very unfortunate. [03:33:38.370 --> 03:33:42.670] All right, guys, let's take the time to go ahead and go through some of your comments [03:33:42.670 --> 03:33:47.230] and questions. We'll start with Lisa Thomas, just a straight super chat. Thank you so much [03:33:47.230 --> 03:33:52.870] for that. FashionChic24 will be on replay crew but wanted to give a little something [03:33:52.870 --> 03:33:57.350] for the hammock or hand warmer fund. Thank you for covering this important case. Funny [03:33:57.350 --> 03:34:01.470] you mentioned I think I mentioned that. Did I mention yesterday that I was thinking about, [03:34:01.710 --> 03:34:06.310] you know, maybe going and seeing if I could like find at the sporting goods store or [03:34:06.310 --> 03:34:09.270] something like that, find like a hammock to sleep in something that's a little bit more [03:34:09.270 --> 03:34:14.110] comfortable. I was thinking about that. I did actually go pick up a bunch of hand warmers [03:34:14.110 --> 03:34:19.390] today. We had we were talking in the line this morning. When I first showed up, [03:34:19.390 --> 03:34:25.210] my guardian angel was there. But I stuck around and chatted with some of the people before I [03:34:25.210 --> 03:34:31.390] went back to my car. And the weather is predicted to change. It started to cool off [03:34:31.390 --> 03:34:37.730] today. The wind has come up. We are forecast to start getting cold overnight. And then I [03:34:37.730 --> 03:34:44.130] believe Friday night, it maybe is supposed to rain. So we are going to start to be really [03:34:44.130 --> 03:34:49.410] challenged with the conditions out there. I have been very fortunate so far. I think [03:34:49.410 --> 03:34:55.950] that I have line sitting set up for the next couple of days. These people are freaking [03:34:56.630 --> 03:35:02.950] troopers to take on this weather. Just so I can get some sleep. Like honestly, I am [03:35:02.950 --> 03:35:14.110] I'm kind of overwhelmed by it. It's such an awesome thing for people to do. I feel a [03:35:14.110 --> 03:35:21.310] should be taking that on. But I did, like I said, I went and got a bunch of hand warmers [03:35:21.310 --> 03:35:27.930] today. I also got a big golf umbrella. So if things do turn bad, I will bestow those on the [03:35:27.930 --> 03:35:34.410] people sitting in line and hopefully keep everybody reasonably comfortable. So thank you [03:35:34.410 --> 03:35:39.010] very much for that contribution. We may need it more than you know at this point. [03:35:39.890 --> 03:35:45.730] Underwater panther, endless thanks for your diligence. Well, my pleasure. It's [03:35:46.250 --> 03:35:52.410] continues to be a whole adventure this court process. Post-punk mama, thank you. Line [03:35:52.410 --> 03:35:57.150] sitter, you're the hero today. Yes, line sitter is the real MVP. Thank you again for [03:35:57.150 --> 03:36:02.390] your dedication, Andrea. And thanks Mr. Andrea for supporting us. Thank you, Jeff, my [03:36:02.390 --> 03:36:08.870] original mod. He's a big support. He's been helping me out a lot with some of these things [03:36:08.870 --> 03:36:15.690] behind the scenes and obviously a big source of moral support for me. So wouldn't be doing [03:36:15.690 --> 03:36:21.570] it without him. Jim Green, thank you, Andrea, for your balanced, skillful and [03:36:21.570 --> 03:36:26.810] intelligent coverage of this case. My question at this point, I appreciate there is more [03:36:26.810 --> 03:36:33.730] prosecution testimony. Is there any evidence presented that ties are a to the crime? Not so [03:36:33.730 --> 03:36:41.570] far. Not so far. We have at best the circumstantial evidence, but nobody's identified him as [03:36:41.570 --> 03:36:46.390] bridge guy. You know, nobody's identified him as bridge guy. We still, you know, [03:36:46.390 --> 03:36:52.290] once again, I mentioned yesterday no in court ID. It was sort of shocking to me that [03:36:52.290 --> 03:36:56.230] nobody asked that question. Not so shocking that the parties didn't ask it because [03:36:56.230 --> 03:37:00.910] it's a high risk question for the parties. One of them is getting their case blown [03:37:00.910 --> 03:37:07.130] up by the answer to that question. But the jury has asked so many questions. I'm really [03:37:07.130 --> 03:37:11.110] surprised. None of them has asked any of these eyewitnesses. The bridge man, [03:37:11.130 --> 03:37:16.550] you've described him, the bridge guy, the man you saw. Is it him sitting over there at [03:37:16.550 --> 03:37:21.890] defense table? Is it Richard Allen? Is he who you saw? Nobody's asked for the in court ID. [03:37:21.890 --> 03:37:29.870] Somebody suggested that maybe they did in fact ask and Judge Goal did not allow it. [03:37:30.630 --> 03:37:35.830] Obviously, all of the jury questions are not given. We've seen a couple instances so far [03:37:35.830 --> 03:37:41.830] that I noticed they got more questions than were asked. So not every question is given. [03:37:42.330 --> 03:37:47.950] If it's not appropriate, for whatever reason, it won't be given. The problem, though, [03:37:47.950 --> 03:37:54.550] is that as a defense lawyer, when I'm in my role as a defense lawyer, I will make all kinds of [03:37:54.550 --> 03:37:59.910] arguments against in court identifications. They're the most suggestive possible thing there [03:37:59.910 --> 03:38:06.050] is. You know exactly who you're supposed to identify. He's right there. He's sitting at [03:38:06.050 --> 03:38:13.650] the defense table. There's no mystery here. So that's a real problem with the in court [03:38:13.650 --> 03:38:19.470] identification and just the reliability of it. But that has never, to my knowledge, [03:38:19.550 --> 03:38:24.490] I don't know of a jurisdiction where that is a basis to keep it out. They still let it in. [03:38:24.970 --> 03:38:29.970] You just get to argue that to the jury and then it goes to the weight that they assign [03:38:29.970 --> 03:38:35.970] to it. So it's not inadmissible as evidence. In court identifications are routinely [03:38:35.970 --> 03:38:44.090] routinely admitted. And my perspective on the case at this point, I feel like if Judge Goll [03:38:44.090 --> 03:38:49.810] thought that it would inculpate Mr. Allen, she would absolutely let the question be asked. [03:38:50.450 --> 03:38:56.750] She would absolutely let it be asked. So I guess those are our possibilities. [03:38:58.050 --> 03:39:04.330] They didn't ask. Nobody's asked. Or they did ask and Judge Goll didn't let it in. [03:39:04.330 --> 03:39:08.390] If that happens, it's because she thinks the answer is going to be exculpatory. [03:39:08.850 --> 03:39:13.650] That either, no, it's not him or I can't say for sure or just something. They're not going [03:39:13.650 --> 03:39:18.030] to be able to tie it to him. And that is then going to generate reasonable doubt. [03:39:18.370 --> 03:39:25.050] I think is the concern. So that I suppose is possible. But yeah, we didn't get that. So [03:39:25.050 --> 03:39:32.790] the direct link then is really only going to come, I think, when we get to the confessions [03:39:32.790 --> 03:39:40.770] and what Mr. Allen said, where he places himself at the bridge in this time frame, [03:39:41.110 --> 03:39:49.710] and then specifically also puts himself as, you know, passing, having this contact, [03:39:50.890 --> 03:39:56.910] so to speak, with the three girls who were out there on their walk and who claimed that they [03:39:56.910 --> 03:40:02.530] saw a bridge guy. That I think is what the connection is going to be. But we do have a [03:40:02.530 --> 03:40:11.070] lot of evidence still to come. A lot of evidence. I'm very eager for the evidence from the [03:40:11.070 --> 03:40:18.770] analysts, the DNA, the blood, you know, trace, all of that other stuff, you know, [03:40:18.870 --> 03:40:24.530] body fluids, all of those things. I really want to know the answers to that information. [03:40:25.830 --> 03:40:30.270] Dr. Tiny Toff, you would make such a great judge. Andrea, have you ever considered it? [03:40:30.270 --> 03:40:33.750] Glad you got to rest. Thank you to the lion's sitter. What an absolute star. [03:40:34.550 --> 03:40:40.750] Yeah, it's crossed my mind. But honestly, it's not a position I really aspire to. [03:40:41.370 --> 03:40:47.450] I've had people suggest it. I honestly, I swear, I'm not boosting myself or whatever. [03:40:47.550 --> 03:40:51.410] I'm just giving you perspective. One of the court of appeals judges suggested, [03:40:51.630 --> 03:40:56.730] more than one has suggested, you know, you might consider it because, you know, [03:40:57.610 --> 03:41:01.310] they retire, they move on, they do other things and stuff like that. [03:41:02.810 --> 03:41:07.410] But it's just not really a position that interests me. In Washington, it's a political [03:41:07.410 --> 03:41:19.050] position. Judges are elected. And that's not my scene. I don't like the political process. [03:41:19.070 --> 03:41:22.890] I don't like the process of going out and courting the votes. [03:41:28.460 --> 03:41:33.760] I just it doesn't it doesn't it doesn't suit me. You know, if it was a situation like the [03:41:33.760 --> 03:41:38.480] federal courts where somebody just gives you the nod and then you have the job like forever. [03:41:38.600 --> 03:41:42.140] Well, OK, you know, that might be kind of cool. But like everybody wants to be a federal [03:41:42.140 --> 03:41:45.560] judge. Nobody's going to make me a federal judge. I don't even practice in federal court. [03:41:45.700 --> 03:41:51.600] You know, I mean, not that I couldn't learn. But so, I mean, yes, I've casually [03:41:51.600 --> 03:41:56.520] considered it. But I don't I don't think it's something that I really intend to seriously [03:41:56.520 --> 03:42:02.200] pursue. And frankly, at this point, you know, I don't know. I don't know how you would do as [03:42:02.200 --> 03:42:08.760] a judicial candidate with a whole big record of YouTube commentary and Twitter commentary [03:42:08.760 --> 03:42:12.880] and stuff like that. Does that help me become a judge or does it hurt me? I don't know. [03:42:13.320 --> 03:42:18.460] I don't know. I guess you guys have to be the judge of that. But yeah, I can't say I [03:42:18.460 --> 03:42:23.200] never changed my mind. But definitely at this point in time, it's not something I have an [03:42:23.200 --> 03:42:29.840] interest in pursuing. Pantoufle or Pantouffle. I remember this name from last night. Don't know [03:42:29.840 --> 03:42:34.500] how people have already decided his guilt or innocence when trial has just begun and more [03:42:34.500 --> 03:42:40.620] to be revealed. Make it make sense. Mob mentality. I yeah, you know, this whole [03:42:40.620 --> 03:42:46.340] polarization. It happens. It happens a lot. It happens in a lot of these cases. It happens [03:42:46.340 --> 03:42:53.600] very quickly. And I'll give you my sort of theory about about how it happens. [03:42:54.700 --> 03:43:02.360] I see it. Now, obviously, this is through my perspective as a defense lawyer, but I see it [03:43:02.360 --> 03:43:06.860] as the first thing that happens. Okay, somebody is arrested, they're accused, they're [03:43:06.860 --> 03:43:10.620] charged, and there's an immediate rush to judgment of guilt. You know, of course he did [03:43:10.620 --> 03:43:17.280] the lynch mob is out. Let's string him up. Hopefully, that doesn't get my stream pulled. [03:43:18.720 --> 03:43:25.780] You know, there is a certain personality, I feel like, that is judgmental, that is opinionated, [03:43:25.800 --> 03:43:31.240] that is fixed, that is closed. And so, you know, he did it, then we're going to be stuck [03:43:31.240 --> 03:43:36.420] on that forever. And there's probably, you know, similarly people who are like, you know, [03:43:36.420 --> 03:43:40.280] he didn't do it, and they're fixed. But just what comes to my attention [03:43:42.400 --> 03:43:47.500] is this fixed opinion of guilt that comes very fast. So then I think the polarization comes [03:43:47.500 --> 03:43:57.360] because people that question that either, like, overcompensate, like, as a reaction to [03:43:57.940 --> 03:44:02.280] you're so sure he's guilty, well, I'm so sure he's innocent, you know, that there's [03:44:03.100 --> 03:44:09.160] aspect to it. But some of it also is just pigeonholing. Some of it I think is not real, [03:44:09.420 --> 03:44:15.600] the polarization. It's just the perspective that if you don't agree with what I say, [03:44:15.660 --> 03:44:19.760] then you agree with the opposite of my position. And that's simply not the case. [03:44:20.180 --> 03:44:25.920] I say this because I don't have an opinion on his guilt or innocence at this point. But I [03:44:25.920 --> 03:44:30.300] know there are people already shoehorning me out there, you know, oh, she thinks he's [03:44:30.300 --> 03:44:35.380] innocent. They do the same thing with Koberger. She thinks he's innocent. I hold open the [03:44:35.380 --> 03:44:40.640] possibility that he's innocent. And I talk about the reasons why I'm skeptical of the evidence [03:44:40.640 --> 03:44:46.280] that would lead me to think, yeah, he could be innocent. But I haven't reached an opinion [03:44:46.280 --> 03:44:53.500] because we haven't gotten through the trial. So I think a lot of that really is just sort of [03:44:53.500 --> 03:44:58.380] projection of one's own fixed mindset onto the people that you're talking with. So if you [03:44:58.380 --> 03:45:06.320] agree with me, you're in the opposite camp. And therefore, you know, you either think he's [03:45:06.320 --> 03:45:09.400] guilty or you think he's innocent. It's just this very, very black and white thinking, [03:45:09.440 --> 03:45:12.560] black and white worldview. I don't have a black and white worldview. [03:45:13.260 --> 03:45:20.080] So for me, there's all kinds of room for nuance. That's my thoughts about that [03:45:20.080 --> 03:45:24.140] phenomenon. Nicholas Farmer with the Super Chat. Thank you so much for that. [03:45:25.100 --> 03:45:30.120] Pantufel, again, is RA's daughter there supporting him, if not why? So I don't [03:45:30.120 --> 03:45:35.020] rec... I wouldn't recognize her. I don't know who she is. And so I don't know. I don't know [03:45:35.020 --> 03:45:40.280] if she has been there. I do know his wife has been there. I was originally concerned that [03:45:40.280 --> 03:45:45.360] his wife was going to be excluded from the courtroom because she's named as a witness. But [03:45:45.360 --> 03:45:53.040] it doesn't appear that she has been. She's been allowed to attend. So that probably [03:45:53.040 --> 03:45:59.660] means nobody intends to call her. And they already know that. I don't think the state has [03:45:59.660 --> 03:46:04.040] her on their witness list. I think it's just the defense. But I'm not 100% sure on that [03:46:04.900 --> 03:46:10.440] because we don't have the witness list. And I don't... They rattled through those names so [03:46:10.440 --> 03:46:14.200] fast and for dear that I was sort of barely able to get a count, but there was no way [03:46:14.200 --> 03:46:19.400] I was going to be able to track whose name was called. Of course, we had the audios. We [03:46:19.400 --> 03:46:29.680] could. But so I don't know. I don't know if she's on the state's witness list. If she's [03:46:29.680 --> 03:46:33.080] on the defense witness list, they can just release her. They can just say, yeah, we don't [03:46:33.080 --> 03:46:38.040] need her. We can make our case without her. And then she'd be able to attend in the [03:46:38.040 --> 03:46:43.060] courtroom. But I don't know about the daughter. I don't know. And if she's not there, I don't [03:46:43.060 --> 03:46:47.040] know what the answer is for why she is not there. It could be that it's too hard for her. [03:46:47.040 --> 03:46:52.320] It could be that he doesn't want her there. It could be that she doesn't support him. You [03:46:52.320 --> 03:46:55.380] know, we don't know. I wouldn't want to make assumptions about that. [03:46:57.780 --> 03:47:04.880] The Iceman 101-418. If none of the witnesses are willing to link Richard Allen and Bridge [03:47:04.880 --> 03:47:09.440] Guy as the same person while under oath in front of a jury, shouldn't this case be [03:47:09.440 --> 03:47:13.840] dismissed at the end of the case in chief? Well, it won't be because they will rely on [03:47:13.840 --> 03:47:18.120] circumstantial evidence that he is Bridge Guy. And the main circumstantial evidence is going to [03:47:18.120 --> 03:47:22.380] be, you know, his, like I said, his own confession, putting him on the bridge in the [03:47:22.380 --> 03:47:29.220] timeframe, running into the girls who say, I saw Bridge Guy. It's not a lot. Is that going [03:47:29.220 --> 03:47:32.620] to get him to beyond a reasonable doubt? I don't know. It's going to be up to the jury. [03:47:32.780 --> 03:47:36.820] It's going to depend on, you know, what else comes out in the sort of sum total of things. [03:47:37.800 --> 03:47:42.660] I mean, let's throw a wrench in it, right? We're going to get all this, all this analysis, [03:47:42.660 --> 03:47:49.460] all this, you know, all of this swabbing, all this evidence that was taken, the fingernail [03:47:51.280 --> 03:47:54.400] scrapings that they were able to get from Libby. They didn't get from Abby, [03:47:54.400 --> 03:47:58.440] but they were able to get from Libby. Maybe there's DNA under those, and maybe it's not [03:47:58.440 --> 03:48:02.980] his. You know, we don't know who it is, but it's not his. Is that going to throw a [03:48:02.980 --> 03:48:10.760] wrench in the situation? Yeah, I think so. I think so. But, you know, we don't know. [03:48:10.760 --> 03:48:16.260] We don't know what's going to come out like that. So it's not it's not necessarily a proof [03:48:16.260 --> 03:48:22.100] beyond a reasonable doubt case, but it's enough to reach it's enough to clear the very, very [03:48:22.100 --> 03:48:27.700] low hurdle of sufficient evidence to go to the jury. And it's just basically the standard [03:48:27.700 --> 03:48:32.180] is so permissive. It's just basically look at everything the state's way, you know, [03:48:32.180 --> 03:48:38.580] look at all of the evidence as if it means what the state is telling you that it means. [03:48:38.580 --> 03:48:44.540] And if based on that, the state has made a credible argument for guilt, a credible case for guilt, [03:48:44.960 --> 03:48:49.440] then then it's it's going to be enough to go forward. And you can pretty much tell that [03:48:49.440 --> 03:48:53.660] just from the opening just from the opening statement, most of the time in a case, [03:48:54.480 --> 03:48:59.640] unless something really falls apart, you know, a witness a witness, something happens to a [03:48:59.640 --> 03:49:05.100] witness or, you know, somebody changes their story or something like that. I mean, these things [03:49:05.100 --> 03:49:11.200] do happen and the case can fall apart that way. But otherwise, no, it's this will be enough, [03:49:11.220 --> 03:49:18.160] it will be circumstantial and not particularly strong, you know, based on what I know so far. [03:49:18.560 --> 03:49:23.460] But it's enough to get past that hurdle. Donna Brack, is it possible for some of these [03:49:23.460 --> 03:49:28.780] small abrasions left collar front to have been from the tree limbs placed on them? [03:49:28.980 --> 03:49:34.920] Very good question. Very good question. They didn't indicate there was any debris [03:49:34.920 --> 03:49:40.420] you know, they might they might expect like there would be tiny little pieces of bark or [03:49:40.420 --> 03:49:45.440] something or dirt, you know, in the wound if that had been the case. They didn't indicate that. [03:49:48.300 --> 03:49:54.160] We only saw all these wounds after they had been washed. We didn't get like the detail [03:49:54.160 --> 03:49:59.180] of the wound after the tree limb had been removed, but before it had been washed so that [03:49:59.180 --> 03:50:07.360] if there was anything like that. Yeah, it seems possible to me. Definitely seems possible to me. [03:50:07.880 --> 03:50:12.280] I don't know if we'll know though they didn't have an explanation for for where those those [03:50:12.280 --> 03:50:18.060] small abrasions may have come from. But I think the limbs are a good guess. Janine Harris, [03:50:18.340 --> 03:50:24.160] can they do a voice comparison between voice of bridge guy and Richard Allen? They might be [03:50:24.720 --> 03:50:31.340] you know, they were able to bring in the state was able to bring in the guy who did the [03:50:31.340 --> 03:50:38.420] audio enhancement of the bridge guy video. So a comparison is typically going to have to require [03:50:38.420 --> 03:50:46.220] you know, it's going to require some some technical work. It's going to require some [03:50:46.220 --> 03:50:50.060] expertise, somebody is going to have to establish their expertise and their technique. [03:50:50.060 --> 03:50:53.060] It's going to have to be more than we're all sitting here in the courtroom, [03:50:53.060 --> 03:50:57.820] you know, listening, and we think it sounds like him, it's gonna need to probably be more [03:50:57.820 --> 03:51:02.720] on a level of like comparing, you know, sound waves and patterns, something a little bit more [03:51:02.720 --> 03:51:08.880] objective. And not just and not just yet sounds like him. So if they do have those [03:51:08.880 --> 03:51:13.760] methods, and there's something that, you know, this court will find scientifically acceptable, [03:51:14.540 --> 03:51:19.540] because you know, it's the defense, I'm assuming that would do this, not the state, then [03:51:21.280 --> 03:51:27.640] yeah, they should be able to that hurdle, though, courts got to find it, find it acceptable. [03:51:28.500 --> 03:51:33.840] And we already got geofence data excluded as being unreliable. [03:51:36.200 --> 03:51:40.580] So I don't know if they would clear that bar, that's that that could potentially [03:51:40.580 --> 03:51:45.900] potentially be a tough one. I would have expected emotion and liminey, maybe from [03:51:45.900 --> 03:51:53.260] the state to suppress or to exclude something like that. If if they had it on those kinds of [03:51:53.260 --> 03:51:58.660] grounds, you know, exclude it for for either not being sound science, not being, you know, [03:51:59.760 --> 03:52:05.100] performed correctly, or something like that. But I mean, maybe not. So I suppose it's [03:52:05.100 --> 03:52:10.040] possible we could get something like that. But I do tend to doubt, if only because we [03:52:10.040 --> 03:52:15.260] know the defense resources are very limited. And so they, you know, they haven't been able to [03:52:15.820 --> 03:52:21.660] what they requested from the court. They had to do with that that private, private fundraising [03:52:21.660 --> 03:52:27.360] to try to get additional resources to hire experts don't really, you know, we don't have [03:52:27.360 --> 03:52:32.620] a record of what they do with that type of thing. All of that stays, all of that stays [03:52:32.620 --> 03:52:37.020] concealed, confidential, because it would, you know, reveal too much about the defense's thought [03:52:37.020 --> 03:52:46.220] process and, and stuff like that. So leave it at maybe, but I'm going to say probably not. [03:52:47.860 --> 03:52:54.900] Daily wellness, is there any footage of our a car on camera? We're gonna have to find out [03:52:54.900 --> 03:52:58.380] they didn't pull any from the Hoosier Harvest store that they've told us about. [03:52:59.540 --> 03:53:04.240] We haven't really gotten to Richard Allen yet in the investigation, though, you know, [03:53:04.240 --> 03:53:08.600] we're doing a lot of this background stuff first. And my sense is that's what the [03:53:08.600 --> 03:53:16.240] structure of the case is going to be. We've gone through the girls last day, the fact of the [03:53:16.240 --> 03:53:22.920] murders. Now we're getting into the eyewitnesses and that early kind of part of the investigation. [03:53:23.660 --> 03:53:32.160] So I'm expecting we'll probably move relatively quickly into the lab analysis stuff. And then [03:53:32.160 --> 03:53:38.520] from there, we'll move into the into the future, you know, because I got to presume all this lab [03:53:38.520 --> 03:53:42.680] stuff, it didn't, it didn't give them, it didn't give them a lead, it didn't give them a suspect. [03:53:43.240 --> 03:53:47.200] I don't know if that's because there wasn't much there to work with, or I don't know if [03:53:47.200 --> 03:53:52.760] what there was there, they weren't able to, you know, match it to anybody to use it to [03:53:52.760 --> 03:53:59.360] identify, to identify anybody. But so, you know, we're going to get through, I would [03:53:59.360 --> 03:54:03.920] suspect get through this stuff to the point where the case went cold. And then we'll move [03:54:03.920 --> 03:54:09.100] forward to Richard Allen. And then we're really focused on Richard Allen and what we know about [03:54:09.100 --> 03:54:18.380] him. And, you know, the state's theory of how he's involved. So possible, but we haven't seen [03:54:18.380 --> 03:54:23.020] anything like that yet. Catherine Joy with a super sticker. Thank you so much for that. [03:54:23.960 --> 03:54:30.120] AKA radar. Andrea, did I mention your sacrifices mean more than words? Sorry, the goal denied [03:54:30.120 --> 03:54:36.020] your motion. Can we go to the mothership? After all you're doing for us, we got you back, [03:54:36.140 --> 03:54:41.660] dear lady. Thank you so much. Well, you're very welcome. You know, I certainly was not [03:54:41.660 --> 03:54:47.440] expecting her to grant it. Let's be real. No, I wasn't expecting her to grant it. I was [03:54:47.440 --> 03:54:52.460] expecting her to ignore it. But now she's ruled on it. So she's teed it up for it to [03:54:52.460 --> 03:54:58.160] the next level. And that's what I will be evaluating in my very abundant free time [03:54:58.740 --> 03:55:04.020] that I will hope to have starting this weekend. Well, you know, basically, [03:55:04.880 --> 03:55:08.120] basically the little bit of free time I have this weekend, I'm going to be looking into that. [03:55:09.480 --> 03:55:14.760] So Nikki, Bobby, thank you, Andrea, for all you do. You're very welcome. Thank you guys [03:55:14.760 --> 03:55:22.200] for being here with me. Debbie W. Indiana, Andrea, not Idaho. If I have been miss speaking, [03:55:22.940 --> 03:55:30.060] I do apologize for that. It does happen sometimes. I've noticed as I get older, [03:55:30.060 --> 03:55:35.680] I am more prone to the malapropisms where I say the wrong thing in my mind. I know [03:55:35.680 --> 03:55:40.420] what I'm saying, but just the wrong word comes out of my mouth. And so sometimes I will [03:55:40.420 --> 03:55:44.500] mix things up like that. Obviously, I've been talking about the Idaho case a lot. And so it [03:55:44.500 --> 03:55:53.040] does tend to roll off my tongue talking about Idaho. It's definitely not intentional. So, yes, [03:55:54.040 --> 03:55:58.400] sometimes when I'm talking about the comparisons, I do mean to say Idaho. But [03:55:58.400 --> 03:56:02.460] obviously, when I'm talking about this case, I mean to say Indiana. So [03:56:02.460 --> 03:56:06.560] did I say Idaho State Police? I might have said Idaho State Police or something like that. [03:56:06.600 --> 03:56:13.220] I meant Indiana ISP. Yeah, ISP in my mind is still probably going to default Idaho State [03:56:13.220 --> 03:56:18.120] Police because we've been dealing with ISP in Mr. Coburger's case for so long. So [03:56:18.120 --> 03:56:25.220] I do apologize for that if I've gotten that wrong. Couch juror, if one knife was used, [03:56:25.420 --> 03:56:30.620] wouldn't the first victim's blood DNA be mixed in second victim's wounds? Thank you [03:56:30.620 --> 03:56:35.720] for being there for all of us. Very good chance that it would. Yeah. Yeah, very good [03:56:35.720 --> 03:56:46.980] chance that it would. I think the possibility if one knife was used for all of the wounds, [03:56:46.980 --> 03:56:52.440] yes, you would probably expect that because at least one of the wounds would have gone [03:56:52.440 --> 03:56:59.640] directly from one victim to the other victim. And so there would have been some transfer [03:56:59.640 --> 03:57:05.540] there. Are they necessarily going to catch it? You hope. I mean, you hope. You hope they [03:57:07.740 --> 03:57:15.640] swabbed it and didn't just wash all that away to inspect the wounds, you know? You would hope [03:57:15.640 --> 03:57:27.240] that that was done. Let's go back and look at our list of swabs. See if we've got good swabs [03:57:27.240 --> 03:57:40.680] from the wounds. All right. The stuff we have from the scene, the things they took at the scene. [03:57:44.170 --> 03:57:48.330] Libby's left wrist, Libby's right wrist, Libby's belly button above the knee of Libby. [03:57:50.930 --> 03:58:01.200] Then a bunch of stuff on the ground and the tree below Abby's head. [03:58:01.200 --> 03:58:07.060] So, left index finger of Abby, left pinky finger of Abby. [03:58:09.540 --> 03:58:16.400] Some additional items from the autopsy. Left thigh of Abby, right thigh of Libby. [03:58:16.400 --> 03:58:21.280] I'm sorry, I've been saying Abby for both of those. Swab from left thigh of Libby, [03:58:21.360 --> 03:58:27.340] right thigh of Libby, right breast of Libby, left breast of Libby, the kits, trace fiber. [03:58:29.140 --> 03:58:32.560] Oof. Guys, I'm not seeing any swabs from the wounds. [03:58:34.380 --> 03:58:47.190] Not seeing any swabs from the wounds. Libby's right wrist. Yeah. Uh-uh. They didn't swab them, [03:58:47.190 --> 03:58:52.910] guys. So, we're not going to know. We won't know if there was a mix of blood [03:58:52.910 --> 03:58:59.270] and whether there was transfer like that from a single weapon. Very unfortunate. [03:59:00.650 --> 03:59:07.710] Felicia V. I have read that Kelsey deleted info on Libby's phone prior to law enforcement exam. [03:59:07.910 --> 03:59:13.270] Has this been talked about? In my opinion, if potential evidence were deleted, that is a huge [03:59:13.270 --> 03:59:20.150] deal. Get an Indiana Tenderloin while here. That would be a huge deal. We have not heard [03:59:20.150 --> 03:59:31.750] anything about that. Um, possible that would be excluded. This being Judge Gull, [03:59:32.550 --> 03:59:37.290] you know, the view that it would be irrelevant because nobody's arguing that Kelsey's the [03:59:37.290 --> 03:59:42.790] murderer or something like that or that Kelsey's complicit. I mean, nobody is, I think, arguing [03:59:42.790 --> 03:59:51.190] that Kelsey's complicit, but doesn't mean it's not relevant. We haven't heard anything [03:59:51.190 --> 03:59:56.450] about it. So I don't, I don't know if that is, if that is true, if that is going to come up. [03:59:56.450 --> 04:00:01.190] But so far, so far that hasn't, there hasn't been any indication of that. [04:00:01.730 --> 04:00:05.770] I did mention last night, I am going to miss out on the Indiana Tenderloin, [04:00:05.770 --> 04:00:11.070] unfortunately, because I don't eat beef. I have not eaten. I don't eat, I eat fish, [04:00:11.070 --> 04:00:17.190] but I don't otherwise eat meat. So I do hear it's quite good. I'm sure that it's [04:00:17.190 --> 04:00:21.990] wonderful. But it won't, it won't be for me. But thank you for the suggestion. [04:00:24.330 --> 04:00:30.470] Marcelo, I saw Ron Logan's phone put him standing at or near the crime scene at 10 16 [04:00:30.470 --> 04:00:36.290] p.m. The judge has forbidden to mention him, right? Don't you think this is a huge appeal [04:00:36.290 --> 04:00:41.970] issue or is it because that he is dead? They can't show that. No, I don't think it's because [04:00:41.970 --> 04:00:46.890] he's dead. Certainly the third party culprit stuff was all excluded just because they [04:00:46.890 --> 04:00:52.330] said there's not enough evidence to meet the standard for Indiana. Indiana requires [04:00:52.330 --> 04:00:57.350] proof of a direct link between the other suspect and the crime. Well, to me, [04:00:58.530 --> 04:01:05.090] being out or near the crime scene is a pretty direct link. 10 16 is when the girls are [04:01:05.090 --> 04:01:10.470] missing. We don't actually know when the time of death is. Yeah, I mean, the third party [04:01:10.470 --> 04:01:16.670] culprit stuff has been a big issue for me from the appealability standpoint. The whole [04:01:16.670 --> 04:01:22.670] other issue here with the phone and the phone data, this is going to be stuff I would think. [04:01:23.390 --> 04:01:29.030] I mean, maybe I don't know if they extracted Ron Logan's phone or if this was part of the [04:01:29.030 --> 04:01:34.270] part of the geofence data, since I didn't get to attend those those hearings was evidentiary [04:01:34.270 --> 04:01:39.390] hearings that they held back in July and August. I really don't know a lot of the [04:01:39.390 --> 04:01:43.730] details of some of what got litigated in there. They took a lot of evidence and it's [04:01:43.730 --> 04:01:47.010] again, it's unfortunate we don't have transcripts. We don't have recordings. [04:01:47.430 --> 04:01:53.630] There's no way to really go back back in and revisit that. So I don't know if that's part [04:01:53.630 --> 04:01:59.650] of the metadata that are the the geofence data that also got excluded or if this is [04:01:59.650 --> 04:02:07.730] something separate, his own phone that they that they that they examined. Either way, you [04:02:07.730 --> 04:02:15.330] know, third party culprit is gonna is gonna keep him out. So I'm trying to now I am trying [04:02:15.330 --> 04:02:21.150] to think back. I feel like I do feel like they examined his phone. I got to go back [04:02:21.150 --> 04:02:24.850] in and look at look at some of that detail because I just I just don't remember off the [04:02:24.850 --> 04:02:30.130] top of my head. I'm gonna have to check out the all eyes on Delphi is like such [04:02:30.130 --> 04:02:35.450] there's lots of good sources for for information sleuthy goosey is always like one of my top [04:02:35.450 --> 04:02:40.530] She's got great stuff on this. What I like about the all eyes on Delphi is they have a timeline. [04:02:40.710 --> 04:02:46.030] They've like organized things in the timeline and then sourced it back to the the document [04:02:46.030 --> 04:02:51.890] that that that information came from. So it's easy to go check the timeline and see like, [04:02:51.930 --> 04:02:56.050] you know, there's if there's an entry where Ron Logan's phone was was extracted. I just [04:02:56.050 --> 04:03:00.010] don't remember off the top of my head, but I am kind of feeling like maybe it was [04:03:00.810 --> 04:03:04.710] Two blue crayons with a super sticker. Thanks so much for that. Kathleen [04:03:04.710 --> 04:03:11.010] Koselke. Sweet pea with a super sticker. Thank you so much, sweet pea. That's that's [04:03:11.010 --> 04:03:17.110] wonderful. Theory neutral. Goal's judgment on your motion was lame. Two, lots of substance [04:03:17.110 --> 04:03:23.570] today. Thank you. Three, did any witness say bridge guy looked like RA? Four, was the cause [04:03:23.570 --> 04:03:30.410] of death bleeding? Five, did the girls walk that path often? I agree. The judgment was [04:03:30.410 --> 04:03:36.090] kind of lame. I sort of knew what was going to happen with that argument about the audios [04:03:36.090 --> 04:03:41.090] because I had been I had already been alerted that there is an interpretation [04:03:41.090 --> 04:03:47.690] of of this of this rule that says that because basically because the criminal defense [04:03:48.290 --> 04:03:54.010] the criminal attorneys are allowed to request copies of the audio that it means the rest of [04:03:54.010 --> 04:03:59.470] us can't. So I was sort of predicting that that's where she was going to go. [04:04:01.290 --> 04:04:05.290] It's the rest of it that's lame. Oh, she's just complaining about the trial process. Well, [04:04:05.290 --> 04:04:10.870] let's be clear. I certainly am complaining about the trial process, but that's not just what [04:04:10.870 --> 04:04:14.930] I'm complaining about. I'm complaining about the important constitutional issue of public [04:04:14.930 --> 04:04:23.210] access and the fact that there is now a group of the elect in the courtroom that have been [04:04:23.210 --> 04:04:29.910] granted this extraordinary access while the rest of us are being denied. And that's it's [04:04:29.910 --> 04:04:35.390] not appropriate. It's not legally substantiated. Once the door has been opened and the process [04:04:35.390 --> 04:04:39.810] has been established for those exhibits to be shared publicly, we should all get the [04:04:39.810 --> 04:04:45.150] opportunity to share in that. So yes, it's a very lame response and we will be dealing [04:04:45.150 --> 04:04:51.410] with it accordingly. I agree. Lots of substance today. None of the witnesses has said bridge [04:04:51.410 --> 04:04:56.630] guy looked like Richard Allen. There's been no comparison whatsoever. Nothing. Not. I mean, [04:04:56.630 --> 04:05:01.290] even if we came up short of an in court ID, not even a, you know, yeah, he might have [04:05:01.290 --> 04:05:08.210] looked sort of like this guy. Nothing at all. We did not actually get a cause of death. They [04:05:08.210 --> 04:05:13.870] didn't elicit the cause of death from the forensic pathologist, which I thought was [04:05:13.870 --> 04:05:21.010] maybe a little bit odd, but it did seem to also kind of be self explanatory because [04:05:21.010 --> 04:05:28.090] these were the only wounds that they had. You know, the exact was it exsanguination? [04:05:28.230 --> 04:05:33.470] I assume it was. But I don't know, you know, that maybe there were contributing [04:05:34.210 --> 04:05:39.330] factors or something like that. Just given the given the conditions or something [04:05:39.870 --> 04:05:43.390] they didn't say we're in a murder trial. We didn't get the cause of death. [04:05:45.470 --> 04:05:53.170] The girls, I believe. Yes, the evidence was that Libby particularly would be down [04:05:53.170 --> 04:05:58.690] there at the bridge. She liked to be down there at the bridge in part because Kelsey [04:05:58.690 --> 04:06:03.450] liked to be down there at the bridge because Kelsey likes to likes photography. She likes to [04:06:03.450 --> 04:06:09.530] take pictures. It is an extremely scenic area. Very nice place to be out taking [04:06:09.530 --> 04:06:18.550] beautiful like landscape type photographs. So Libby for sure would be down there at the trail. [04:06:24.270 --> 04:06:28.810] Abby, we have less information about. We know that she had been across the bridge, [04:06:28.810 --> 04:06:36.950] I believe, before. But I don't think to the extent that Libby had been down there. [04:06:40.070 --> 04:06:45.490] Dr. Von Decay is a new channel member. Thank you for joining us. Welcome. [04:06:46.330 --> 04:06:51.530] Sweet and salty with a contribution for pens. I am going to have to go and get more pens. [04:06:51.710 --> 04:06:56.630] My pen box is running dry. I'm going to take a whole handful of them tomorrow because [04:06:56.630 --> 04:07:04.330] now I'm paranoid. I have five pens left in my box. So I'm going to take three pens. I have [04:07:04.330 --> 04:07:09.850] to give one to lawyer Lee. I still have her pen from yesterday. I'm going to take two with [04:07:09.850 --> 04:07:15.730] me. I'm going to leave one here at home in my little office space here. And then that [04:07:15.730 --> 04:07:20.970] leaves me with two extra pens that I'm going to leave in my car so that if worst case [04:07:20.970 --> 04:07:25.870] scenario I can run out at lunch or break or whatever and grab a pen. And then I will go [04:07:25.870 --> 04:07:35.370] buy another box. So I am a little paranoid now about losing the pens. Rusty with an I. Once [04:07:35.370 --> 04:07:39.670] again, your coverage is so detailed and thorough. Thank you for your time and sacrifice to [04:07:39.670 --> 04:07:46.570] provide us with the happenings of the trial. You are very, very welcome. Kathleen Koselski, [04:07:46.810 --> 04:07:52.210] sweet pea with a, oh my goodness, enormous contribution to the pen fund. Thank you so [04:07:52.210 --> 04:08:01.710] much. Love kitty questions. Yeah. That's going to buy a lot of pens. I really appreciate that. [04:08:01.790 --> 04:08:07.470] I will never run out of pens. Uncivil law. Welcome, Kurt. Good to see you with a lamey [04:08:07.470 --> 04:08:18.850] fountain pen, noodler, bulletproof ink. I like my pen. I like these pens. My Uni Ball Vision [04:08:18.850 --> 04:08:29.210] Elite pen. It is a ballpoint pen, but it's just a nice, it's a very nice ink. It just flows, [04:08:29.230 --> 04:08:35.090] it writes so well. I love this pen. I've been telling people about how my husband and I, [04:08:35.090 --> 04:08:41.490] when we had our law office together, we were both kind of pen snobs, but we had different [04:08:41.490 --> 04:08:47.090] choices of pen that we were snobby about. So for me, it was always the Uni Ball Vision [04:08:47.090 --> 04:08:57.430] Elite. For him, it was, I think it was a gel. I forget who made his gel pen. But anyway, [04:08:57.450 --> 04:09:02.430] so it would cause controversy in the office if one of my pens ever showed up in Jeff's office, [04:09:02.510 --> 04:09:07.250] or if Jeff's pens ever showed up in mine. You don't even like my pen. [04:09:10.730 --> 04:09:15.090] ShredderSO7 at Andrea Burkhart. Raid from Potentially Criminal. Been watching your [04:09:15.090 --> 04:09:19.510] coverage anyway. Great work and thanks for showing up in person. Well, thank you for coming [04:09:19.510 --> 04:09:26.410] by. Welcome to everybody from Potentially Criminal. That is awesome. It is a whole thing, [04:09:26.510 --> 04:09:33.790] seeing this unfold in person. It's a very, very different experience and especially just [04:09:33.790 --> 04:09:40.350] given how this is all we got. This is all we got. This is all we have to know about [04:09:40.350 --> 04:09:49.690] the trial. It's really emphasizing to me, I'm realizing how much I wish I had been able to [04:09:49.690 --> 04:09:55.130] do this for the pre-trial stuff. Just because I'm at that point, even just now I'm talking [04:09:55.130 --> 04:10:01.010] about the evidentiary hearing from back in July and August. So much information came out. [04:10:01.230 --> 04:10:07.170] No idea what it was. No idea what it was because we weren't able to be there. [04:10:07.890 --> 04:10:14.390] I've seen some news stuff, but I've already seen from this context how difficult it is [04:10:14.390 --> 04:10:21.150] to rely on what the news media is reporting. They're often getting details wrong and it's [04:10:21.150 --> 04:10:27.010] just not particularly detailed. They pick the high point of the day and that's really what [04:10:27.010 --> 04:10:32.590] they report. They don't report all of these details and the details are what are so [04:10:32.590 --> 04:10:40.690] significant in this particular case. I had other key things going on and so it wasn't [04:10:40.690 --> 04:10:45.150] going to be possible, but it is unfortunate. I wish I had been able to do that before. [04:10:47.730 --> 04:10:53.930] Pixelate me. What a great username. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate your support. [04:10:54.510 --> 04:11:00.670] Tina with the contribution. Thank you so much, Tina. Emmy, thanks Andrea and thanks to the [04:11:01.390 --> 04:11:11.450] real MVPs. Thank you so much. Blake's Lee Kay with a super sticker. Really appreciate that. [04:11:11.670 --> 04:11:17.930] Roger V. Kent, an extra cup of joe. I'm going to need more than a couple as the weeks go on. [04:11:18.930 --> 04:11:25.210] But you know, hey, we're almost... Lawyer Lee pointed out to me we can't technically [04:11:25.210 --> 04:11:29.910] call today hump day because we've got that half day on Saturday. So we're not... [04:11:29.910 --> 04:11:34.450] Although it is only half day, so by getting through the full day today, we are technically [04:11:34.450 --> 04:11:41.490] over the hump. So we're practically already almost one whole week down and then there's only [04:11:42.990 --> 04:11:49.170] like four more to go, three more to go, four more to go. We'll get through it. It'll be fine. [04:11:52.250 --> 04:11:56.850] Indie Cindy with a super sticker. Appreciate that. Thank you so much. Lisa Thomas with a [04:11:57.690 --> 04:12:01.990] thank you so much for your support. Heather Brown, Andrea, thank you for all you're doing. [04:12:02.170 --> 04:12:08.110] You are so welcome. Really appreciate all of your support, guys. Poe Honesty, [04:12:08.350 --> 04:12:13.350] I don't trust Gull. I predict a mistrial if she smells an acquittal coming or a directed [04:12:13.350 --> 04:12:17.930] verdict after the confessions. Thanks for your work. I don't think so. And I'll tell [04:12:17.930 --> 04:12:25.730] you why. So first off, she cannot give a directed verdict for the state. That is not [04:12:25.730 --> 04:12:31.230] in criminal court to do that. The defense can ask for a directed verdict because they're [04:12:31.230 --> 04:12:35.190] basically saying as a matter of law, the state has not met its burden of proof, [04:12:35.590 --> 04:12:40.290] but she cannot find as a matter of law that they have. That is exclusively a question for [04:12:40.290 --> 04:12:45.350] the jury. So there will not be a directed verdict. I do not think she will give a [04:12:45.350 --> 04:12:51.750] mistrial because mistrials are extremely risky. The reason why is because Jeopardy has now [04:12:51.750 --> 04:12:57.390] attached to this case because a jury has been sworn in. And that means there's pretty [04:12:57.390 --> 04:13:06.190] limited circumstances when they can get a do-over. A mistrial requires a finding of [04:13:06.190 --> 04:13:13.130] manifest necessity. So it has to be essentially the only thing that is possible in the [04:13:13.130 --> 04:13:19.370] circumstances. It requires something pretty egregious. She's not going to be able to just [04:13:19.370 --> 04:13:23.990] some little thing and say, I don't like how this is being done, so we're going to do it over. [04:13:25.250 --> 04:13:29.450] You don't get a second jury when this one is sworn. If there is no manifest necessity, [04:13:29.450 --> 04:13:33.330] he is entitled to a verdict from this jury. This is the one that he picked. [04:13:34.410 --> 04:13:39.890] So that would be opening up a double Jeopardy problem. They would not potentially be able to [04:13:39.890 --> 04:13:45.350] retry him. It's very, very risky to do that without very good cause to declare a mistrial. [04:13:46.110 --> 04:13:51.070] So I do have faith that Judge Gold understands at least that much. [04:13:51.310 --> 04:13:56.170] Laura, could the defense be talking about interaction between the girls and RA phones? [04:13:56.470 --> 04:14:02.610] And I thought in opening they mentioned his phone leaving. Also, RA gave them phone ID [04:14:02.610 --> 04:14:08.770] number. Okay, that's... I didn't know that. That I just assumed they subpoenaed it from [04:14:08.770 --> 04:14:14.030] his carrier or something like that. But if he gave it to him, like, wow, that's... he's [04:14:14.030 --> 04:14:18.750] being very... like, how did he even know? I don't think I would even know. I would have to go [04:14:18.750 --> 04:14:22.370] hunt for it and then give it to him. Like, that's being really super cooperative with the [04:14:22.370 --> 04:14:32.270] investigation. You know, they didn't ask the witness to clarify that. When he was talking [04:14:32.990 --> 04:14:38.250] about no contact, he did use the word communications. He was talking about they [04:14:38.250 --> 04:14:46.190] not communicate with each other. I suppose it's possible he meant, like, the phones didn't [04:14:46.190 --> 04:14:50.010] commute. But it's not an issue of phone communication. It's really about the phones [04:14:50.010 --> 04:14:54.850] being in the same place at the same time. I didn't see... I don't think that can be [04:14:54.850 --> 04:15:02.570] interpreted that way. And, you know, the defense didn't follow up, like, if that was [04:15:02.570 --> 04:15:08.790] the case, they didn't follow up to clarify that. So I just... I don't think that's [04:15:08.790 --> 04:15:18.870] probably what it is. I think that's a good thought. But, yeah, I don't think that's [04:15:18.870 --> 04:15:24.470] what he was talking about. I don't remember them mentioning his phone leaving and opening [04:15:24.470 --> 04:15:29.230] because I don't think they're allowed to do that. What I remember them mentioning [04:15:29.230 --> 04:15:36.450] was his car. They're talking about his car leaving. And I'm not quite sure yet how [04:15:36.450 --> 04:15:40.710] they're going to establish this. We had the little piece that we already know about [04:15:40.710 --> 04:15:46.330] with Betsy Blair that he definitely told us about in opening because they're trying [04:15:46.330 --> 04:15:52.210] to say that Richard Allen parked at the CPS lot, went and rocked the trails, committed [04:15:52.210 --> 04:15:58.830] the murders, walked back down where Sarah Carabaugh saw him on the road, got in his [04:15:58.830 --> 04:16:06.470] car and left. Betsy Blair was there during the time frame when Richard Allen would [04:16:06.470 --> 04:16:11.410] have had his car parked at that lot. And she identifies a car parked there, but [04:16:11.410 --> 04:16:16.030] it's a car that is nothing like Mr. Allen's car. It's the one that looks just like [04:16:16.030 --> 04:16:24.730] her dad's old car, the Mercury Comet. So that I think is maybe what you're remembering [04:16:24.730 --> 04:16:29.510] from the defense opening. I don't know if they have other evidence of his car's [04:16:29.510 --> 04:16:33.230] location. It would be great if they had a security camera somewhere. Like if they [04:16:33.230 --> 04:16:40.790] had that, that's pretty exculpatory. Put his car somewhere else. It's not definitive [04:16:40.790 --> 04:16:45.510] unless they got his face in it behind the wheel. Maybe he ran a red light and [04:16:45.510 --> 04:16:49.770] got a stoplight camera. Those things happen. But at the same time, you would [04:16:49.770 --> 04:16:56.170] expect the state would have found something like that. And that would have become [04:16:56.170 --> 04:17:01.510] an issue at some point in the investigation, or some point in the case, either with [04:17:01.510 --> 04:17:06.330] Franks or with Brady, a Brady motion or something like that. That's pretty [04:17:06.330 --> 04:17:13.950] significant. That would be pretty significant evidence. So I think it's the car that we [04:17:13.950 --> 04:17:20.110] are focused on with that. Karazola X. Sucks that people are distracted by the funny [04:17:20.110 --> 04:17:24.450] suitcase lady and not paying attention to this case. It's so much more important [04:17:24.450 --> 04:17:30.550] worrying. I mean, the suitcase lady is on TV, so it's easy. You know, it's an [04:17:30.550 --> 04:17:35.170] easy one to watch and focus on. I totally understand that. It is not easy being [04:17:35.170 --> 04:17:41.790] here and getting this information. And I know just speaking from personal experience [04:17:41.790 --> 04:17:47.570] is so difficult to cover the trials that aren't televised because it's so hard to [04:17:47.570 --> 04:17:53.590] get the good information. That's literally why I'm here. Because I knew I knew when it [04:17:53.590 --> 04:17:57.570] wasn't being televised and how important it is, there wasn't going to be any other [04:17:57.570 --> 04:18:01.150] way to be able to talk about this case. So I had to be here because there's not [04:18:01.150 --> 04:18:05.890] going to be another source if we're not not getting the audios and so forth. So I [04:18:05.890 --> 04:18:12.930] really do understand. But I agree from my standpoint, the suitcase lady was not [04:18:12.930 --> 04:18:17.070] particularly interesting. Although I will say from what I've seen, I've just seen [04:18:17.070 --> 04:18:20.510] little bits and pieces about how it seems to be going. It does seem to be [04:18:20.510 --> 04:18:24.990] going differently than I had expected. I had expected it to be Daryl Brooks [04:18:24.990 --> 04:18:31.070] in a dress. That's what I expected. Doesn't seem like it's gone that way. [04:18:31.070 --> 04:18:37.130] Her having a lawyer, you know, probably changes that scenario quite a bit. But [04:18:37.130 --> 04:18:43.790] I've also heard at least some folks seem to say, you know, she testified and [04:18:43.790 --> 04:18:49.130] thought she did pretty well. Not a universal sentiment, of course, by any means. But [04:18:49.830 --> 04:18:56.830] I would say prior to her taking the stand, I think pretty much everybody would [04:18:56.830 --> 04:19:00.530] have predicted it would be a train wreck. It would just be a disaster. And it doesn't [04:19:00.530 --> 04:19:04.250] sound like it was. So in that sense, you know, that's that's kind of [04:19:04.250 --> 04:19:06.730] interesting. That is that is a different development. [04:19:09.430 --> 04:19:13.430] Harry Leachman, appreciate how nuanced your coverage is. Don't always agree [04:19:13.430 --> 04:19:16.930] with your conclusions, but I respect the hell out of your ethics. Keep doing [04:19:16.930 --> 04:19:20.790] what you're doing. Well, thank you. I definitely don't expect everybody to [04:19:20.790 --> 04:19:28.210] agree with my conclusions. And they're just my my thought process. That's part of why [04:19:28.210 --> 04:19:34.010] I love having the chat, having the comments, having just other people's [04:19:34.010 --> 04:19:39.710] thoughts. People have great ideas in here that some things that I've never thought of, [04:19:40.050 --> 04:19:45.130] you know, some things that I've never thought of. Boy, I'm trying to remember now. [04:19:45.710 --> 04:19:52.110] Oh, yeah, like, I mean, the suggestion today about the connecting the lines on [04:19:53.230 --> 04:19:59.350] on Abby on her chin. Maybe that has something to do with this handkerchief and realizing, [04:19:59.410 --> 04:20:03.530] you know, this handkerchief that was recovered. We don't know where it came from. We don't [04:20:03.530 --> 04:20:09.550] have we don't have a provenance for it. It's a mystery hanky. Could those things be [04:20:09.550 --> 04:20:14.890] connected? This was like sort of a group, a group brainstorm, you know, a bunch of us [04:20:15.490 --> 04:20:20.270] while while while the the cases in recess. So [04:20:21.970 --> 04:20:27.730] I'm just one person with with my own ideas. But I think everybody having their own ideas [04:20:27.730 --> 04:20:33.970] and sharing them in a respectful way. That's what helps us get closer to the truth. [04:20:34.390 --> 04:20:40.390] Because, yeah, people have all kinds of good, good theories and good ideas about how things [04:20:40.390 --> 04:20:47.470] work. And yes, makes me shift my perspective, you know, quite quite a bit of the time. So [04:20:47.470 --> 04:20:52.290] don't by any means feel like you need to agree, agree with me. And if you disagree, [04:20:52.310 --> 04:20:56.630] I would love to hear why. That's, that's some of my favorite conversation. I'm a lawyer, [04:20:56.830 --> 04:21:00.910] you know, disagreement is second nature to me. So I don't take it personally at all. [04:21:01.350 --> 04:21:07.030] I just all I all I my rule is like, don't attack people don't make stuff personal [04:21:07.030 --> 04:21:12.170] disagreements about stuff like this shouldn't be personal. It's about ideas. It's about [04:21:12.170 --> 04:21:18.810] information. It's about getting to the truth. So it's it's a constructive process when we do it [04:21:19.570 --> 04:21:25.570] right. Catherine Joy, we so appreciate all you do. Well, I appreciate all of you being here and [04:21:25.570 --> 04:21:30.650] all of your support. It really has been it really has been overwhelming. Truth seeker, [04:21:30.670 --> 04:21:35.710] what time are you getting there? I came up with an idea and you meet me with Julie Friday. [04:21:35.710 --> 04:21:40.990] Thank you for everything, Andrea. I have an idea about drinks, snacks. Tomorrow I'm going to [04:21:40.990 --> 04:21:45.850] I'm supposed to get there at seven. That's when the the line sitters will be done. So I will [04:21:45.850 --> 04:21:53.050] be there at seven tomorrow morning. Everything else kind of up in the air. So I'm playing a [04:21:53.050 --> 04:21:59.430] little bit a little bit of wait and see. It will depend. But I would I would love to see you [04:21:59.430 --> 04:22:06.590] there show up. That would be fantastic. Serita Banana, if the prosecution is hoping the jury [04:22:06.590 --> 04:22:11.990] finds are a guilty based on post arrest confessions, then what do you think the [04:22:11.990 --> 04:22:17.670] jury will consider to be factual as the basis for the arrest? The jury isn't going to [04:22:17.670 --> 04:22:23.670] be asked to consider the factual basis for the arrest. It's not it's not within their purview. [04:22:28.000 --> 04:22:37.240] If I'm the state and I'm addressing this issue, I'm saying, OK, maybe you don't think the evidence [04:22:37.240 --> 04:22:41.600] was strong. Maybe you think it was a guess. Well, the confessions show they guessed right. [04:22:44.770 --> 04:22:51.070] That's going to be my response to it. I definitely don't think that, you know, [04:22:51.150 --> 04:22:56.090] the PC is strong. Not a lot with the PC. If they didn't have those confessions, [04:22:56.890 --> 04:23:04.410] this case is so much harder. This case is a lot harder without those confessions, if only because [04:23:07.230 --> 04:23:11.650] well, we do still have his original statement to the police where he put himself on the bridge [04:23:12.190 --> 04:23:17.830] and he put himself meeting the girls. That's really where things that's where things went [04:23:17.830 --> 04:23:25.090] south for him. That initial, that very initial cooperation. So if he is innocent, [04:23:25.090 --> 04:23:29.670] it's really a cautionary. It's unfortunate that it has to be a cautionary tale about [04:23:29.670 --> 04:23:39.500] being a good Samaritan if he didn't do it. If he did do it, that wasn't a good call. [04:23:40.240 --> 04:23:48.630] You know, bottom line. Truth seeker, I'm willing to bring snacks and drinks at lunchtime [04:23:48.630 --> 04:23:53.570] and coffee and donuts early morning for a selected few. That is sorry, trolls, lol. [04:23:54.210 --> 04:24:01.910] There are a few trolls around. Not going to lie about that. Thank you. Very, very generous. [04:24:03.510 --> 04:24:08.850] I don't know if you heard, we have now been allowed to bring food into the courthouse. [04:24:08.850 --> 04:24:13.150] Food and drink, we can bring it into the courthouse. We simply can't eat it in the [04:24:13.150 --> 04:24:19.450] courtroom. So what that's looking like now is I'm able to bring a little lunch. We're able [04:24:19.450 --> 04:24:25.250] to bring little snacks. And during the breaks, we can go out into the hall and we can eat them [04:24:25.250 --> 04:24:31.130] and we can have our drinks. So we are no longer starving. We're not on the Delphi [04:24:31.130 --> 04:24:38.150] starvation diet anymore. I did, guys, I will tell you, I noticed, I noticed this having an [04:24:38.150 --> 04:24:46.410] effect. I noticed today, I said something to Julie about it because I was going down the [04:24:47.050 --> 04:24:56.250] my pants are falling down. This has been very extreme, very fast. But we are on a correction [04:24:56.250 --> 04:25:04.230] route now. So I will not continue to starve. I will be able to get food. But I would still [04:25:04.230 --> 04:25:12.070] love to meet you if you want to come by. Maybe, yeah, just connect. And at some point, [04:25:12.210 --> 04:25:15.710] all these people here in town, I would love a chance for us to get together, especially [04:25:15.710 --> 04:25:20.590] the line sitters, you know, certainly, I would just I would love for us to be able to get coffee, [04:25:20.930 --> 04:25:27.270] get a beer, I mean, anything, you know, I just I'm so grateful for everybody's support. And it's [04:25:27.270 --> 04:25:32.570] really been awesome to meet everybody that is a fan of what I'm doing here. It never ceases [04:25:32.570 --> 04:25:37.210] to amaze me that so many people are interested in what I have to say, you know, to me, [04:25:37.210 --> 04:25:45.690] I'm just a person with some thoughts that I say into a mic. And it does it just kind of [04:25:45.690 --> 04:25:53.610] so many of you are interested in following it. Theory neutral, would you please post an image of [04:25:53.610 --> 04:26:00.430] stick patterns? Yes, I did my little I did my little sketch of their sketch. [04:26:02.490 --> 04:26:08.710] The things that have been controversial about the stick patterns have been the sticks over [04:26:08.710 --> 04:26:15.490] the puddle of blood and exactly what that looked like. And then also whether there were [04:26:15.490 --> 04:26:21.610] sticks, people are asking about sticks over Abby's head, because that relates back to [04:26:21.610 --> 04:26:27.010] the statement that Elvis Fields had made about putting the horns on the girl. There are no [04:26:27.010 --> 04:26:32.930] sticks over her head, I can I can tell you that from from the from the sketch, or just [04:26:32.930 --> 04:26:39.970] from memory. My sketch, I, you know, I was getting the general gist, I would not want to [04:26:40.510 --> 04:26:45.030] like represent it as being a super accurate diagram. [04:26:47.670 --> 04:26:55.430] I am a terrible artist, guys, like I honestly I can barely draw a stick figure and it shows. [04:26:56.810 --> 04:27:02.150] So I did do my best, but like it's not do not rely on it for detail or anything like [04:27:02.150 --> 04:27:11.390] I will share it for the general gist. But I say that with some hesitation for for those very [04:27:11.390 --> 04:27:18.950] reasons. Now if I could see the exhibits and draw it again, you know, make sure like double [04:27:18.950 --> 04:27:25.770] check my drawing, I do that. But apparently I'm just complaining about the trial process. [04:27:25.770 --> 04:27:33.830] Amanda Colbert. Anybody know the name of Kelsey's 2017 boyfriend? I don't. She didn't say at trial. [04:27:35.230 --> 04:27:42.310] So I don't know who that is. Catastrophe. We bought the transcripts for thousands. [04:27:42.610 --> 04:27:47.730] Videos to listen to us all reading as the players including Goosey and all eyes on [04:27:47.730 --> 04:27:53.450] criminality 187. T has helped crush the transcripts game. Beyond grateful for you. [04:27:53.450 --> 04:28:01.970] Are you talking about the evidentiary hearings? If you are, I would love to hunt those down. And [04:28:01.970 --> 04:28:06.510] oh man, maybe I would have time this weekend to get caught up on that. I might have to wait, [04:28:06.570 --> 04:28:11.630] you know, kick it to the kick it to the following weekend. But yes, I'm very interested [04:28:11.630 --> 04:28:16.910] in seeing the transcripts of those hearings. That is that is music to my ears. [04:28:18.010 --> 04:28:24.090] I will I will look out for that. Procosent. Pen snobs. My kind of people. Pilot [04:28:24.090 --> 04:28:32.850] one millimeter. I prefer like not a super bold, not a super bold point, but close to bold. [04:28:33.130 --> 04:28:38.390] I'm not really a fine point. Not really a fine point, girl. I like my ink to stand out. [04:28:38.890 --> 04:28:45.550] I like to be liberal with my ink. Not have challenges reading it. We all have our own [04:28:45.550 --> 04:28:51.610] matter of taste. That's that's something that we can we can disagree about respectfully. [04:28:52.370 --> 04:28:56.990] I think the was it a pilot gel might have been might have been Jeff's pen. [04:28:57.750 --> 04:29:01.050] It might have been a pilot pen. I just can't remember off the top of my head. [04:29:01.970 --> 04:29:08.270] Kate, you rock civil procedural procedure rule cited in Judge Cole's ruling on your motion. [04:29:08.270 --> 04:29:13.730] Wow. Yeah, right. I mean, I did notice it's the trial trial procedure rules. It's not [04:29:13.730 --> 04:29:21.950] necessarily applicable to the criminal rules. So yeah, it just it does become a little bit [04:29:21.950 --> 04:29:28.630] of a question of what exactly applies in this situation. And if if there is a conflict [04:29:28.630 --> 04:29:34.170] between the rules, which one is is going to prevail. But yes, I agree with you. The [04:29:34.170 --> 04:29:39.290] criminal rule does not say only the attorneys get the audio. And so then I would think we [04:29:39.290 --> 04:29:45.990] fall to the the rules on the public access, where it just flat out public records, anything [04:29:45.990 --> 04:29:51.630] is a court record. You know, this qualifies as a court record. And if it's a court record, [04:29:51.650 --> 04:29:58.470] public access means I have the right to inspect and copy it. And copy it. I get both, [04:29:58.710 --> 04:30:08.670] not just one. I get them both. So maybe we will need to just explore ways to see what [04:30:08.670 --> 04:30:15.830] higher court would think of that that decision. Felicia V at at Andrea Burkhart to clarify, [04:30:16.030 --> 04:30:22.090] I don't think Kelsey complicit. Understood. If she deleted, it would be embarrassing stuff. [04:30:22.170 --> 04:30:28.410] Maybe Libby sent compromising photos while catfished delete to protect LG before new relevant. [04:30:28.830 --> 04:30:33.010] Yeah, you know, I mean, I can see something like this too, with the whole Anthony shots [04:30:33.010 --> 04:30:38.370] angle, like we know, I'm pretty sure we know that there was communication between them [04:30:38.370 --> 04:30:42.210] that he was a catfishing guy. And that was his whole thing. And he's gone down for child [04:30:42.210 --> 04:30:50.550] exploitation. So yeah, I mean, I can definitely, I can definitely, I could definitely see something [04:30:50.550 --> 04:30:57.810] like that. And in that case, that would also be why I could see it potentially being [04:30:57.810 --> 04:31:04.270] irrelevant. You know, if it's not a situation like, Oh, Kelsey is complicit. Which, like [04:31:04.270 --> 04:31:09.930] I said, you're not saying I'm not saying I don't think anybody's saying then it isn't necessarily [04:31:09.930 --> 04:31:16.180] relevant to the to the murder trial. You know, it may be relevant just for purposes of [04:31:18.990 --> 04:31:24.110] establishing why certain information maybe isn't available if some of the deleted stuff is [04:31:24.110 --> 04:31:29.290] relevant. So like if she deleted that photo, I don't know why she would delete that one [04:31:29.290 --> 04:31:37.210] because it's not incriminating. Maybe it's just by accident or something. I don't know. [04:31:37.850 --> 04:31:42.490] But I could see that being a reason why, you know, it wouldn't be allowed to be mentioned [04:31:42.490 --> 04:31:47.790] because it just it's embarrassing. And it doesn't have it doesn't have anything to do [04:31:47.790 --> 04:31:53.110] with the reason the reason for the murder or anything like that. So yes, very good point. [04:31:53.150 --> 04:31:57.050] Thank you for clarifying that. I agree. Nobody is saying that Kelsey is complicit. [04:31:58.370 --> 04:32:02.730] Tammy Martin. Have you read the first Frank's memo? Judge Gull hasn't even read it. It's [04:32:02.730 --> 04:32:06.490] very telling. It will blow your mind. Oh, yeah, I read the first Frank's memo. I've read all [04:32:06.490 --> 04:32:12.210] the Frank's memos. The Frank's memos are what dragged me back like into the case with with [04:32:12.210 --> 04:32:18.310] greater attention. I've kind of said before, it's it was on my radar. I remember when [04:32:18.310 --> 04:32:25.790] when the girls I remember when they were killed. I remember that completely fell off my radar, [04:32:25.790 --> 04:32:31.350] paid no attention to it. I remember when Richard Allen was arrested because of the ceiling. I [04:32:31.350 --> 04:32:35.850] remember the ceiling, you know, the probable cause affidavit not being public. I remember [04:32:35.850 --> 04:32:40.570] that happening. I remember thinking, huh, that's weird. I guess Indiana has some weird rules [04:32:40.570 --> 04:32:46.770] about about what's public and what isn't didn't really think anything further about that. [04:32:47.610 --> 04:32:53.270] Frank's memo came out read that. Wow. You do not read that memo every day. [04:32:53.270 --> 04:32:59.350] You do not read that memo every day. And I understand the people that [04:33:00.930 --> 04:33:10.290] I understand why they argue that this is it's like a PR sort of move. It's like [04:33:10.290 --> 04:33:18.110] for attention or just something by by the defense. Because it does very much get your [04:33:18.110 --> 04:33:22.570] attention. Yeah, it's a real attention grabber. I think the problem with that analysis, [04:33:22.570 --> 04:33:28.150] of course, is that the defense didn't make it up. They got it from the law enforcement. [04:33:29.090 --> 04:33:34.370] It was because law enforcement was investigating all of this stuff that that defense, you know, [04:33:34.630 --> 04:33:40.150] ultimately got it in discovery and, you know, had had figured out some of it independently [04:33:40.150 --> 04:33:45.610] themselves in their own investigation. I think just by looking at looking at the connections [04:33:45.610 --> 04:33:52.990] and stuff. But looking at the tips, I mean, some of this some of this information had come [04:33:52.990 --> 04:33:58.270] into the police through the tips and not necessarily what got them to look at it. [04:33:58.270 --> 04:34:02.930] But certainly, it's like another source. The stuff that was posted on Facebook that got, [04:34:02.930 --> 04:34:06.670] you know, that got tipped to them. Yeah, if I'm the defense, and I see that and I see [04:34:06.670 --> 04:34:11.710] that photo that got posted that Brad Holder posted the one of the the fake crime scene. [04:34:11.710 --> 04:34:16.310] Yeah, I'm following up on that. It's uncanny and it's creepy and it's weird. [04:34:18.210 --> 04:34:23.370] But yeah, bottom line, they got most of it from from the law enforcement. So this isn't [04:34:23.370 --> 04:34:27.890] this isn't something that they just that they just blew up, you know, for purposes of [04:34:29.050 --> 04:34:35.650] creating a big public ruckus and and and a PR a PR machine. It was it was handed to them [04:34:35.650 --> 04:34:43.790] the course of discovery. So it is definitely quite a piece of reading. If anybody hasn't read that [04:34:45.930 --> 04:34:52.350] it consider it. We're not hearing anything about that in this trial because all of it [04:34:52.350 --> 04:35:00.090] has been excluded. The crypto tax lawyer one do the OA. What is the OA? Is that the oral [04:35:00.810 --> 04:35:09.330] argument? Do the OA. Two, will you and Jeff get to see each other on weekends? No, just just, [04:35:09.330 --> 04:35:13.610] you know, remotely like this. I am I am here for the long haul at this point. I went back [04:35:13.610 --> 04:35:21.350] last weekend for the fight. I'm very glad that I did. It was a great weekend. But it also just [04:35:21.350 --> 04:35:28.470] I lost a lot of time. It really set me back like starting the week on short sleep because [04:35:28.470 --> 04:35:35.170] I didn't get into Indy until midnight. And then I got back. I had to come back here. I had to I [04:35:35.170 --> 04:35:38.930] mean, I was working on that motion, had to get it finished, had to figure out how to file it, [04:35:38.950 --> 04:35:44.070] do all that and then still make it over to the courthouse. So that's why I was so I was [04:35:44.070 --> 04:35:51.550] 36 hours without sleep when I did my stream on Monday. I can't do that consistently. So [04:35:51.550 --> 04:35:56.600] I don't I don't expect to to be going back to see Jeff on the weekends. But we [04:35:56.600 --> 04:36:01.460] chat we will we will communicate we have a great relationship like that. So [04:36:01.460 --> 04:36:06.160] you know distance when you have a real connection distance doesn't matter. [04:36:07.040 --> 04:36:11.940] Three, my husband is also an attorney. We could never work together. I've had so many [04:36:11.940 --> 04:36:15.560] people say that like, Oh my god, I can never I can never work with my spouse. We did we [04:36:15.560 --> 04:36:21.920] work together for just about 10 years. The thing about being a lawyer, you know, with [04:36:21.920 --> 04:36:27.340] us being lawyers working in an office together, we did work in pretty distinct practice areas [04:36:27.340 --> 04:36:32.400] for most of the time. And so even though you work together, you still almost never see each [04:36:32.400 --> 04:36:39.900] other. Because he's in a meeting, I'm going to court. He's, you know, going to a lunch, [04:36:40.000 --> 04:36:44.840] I am going to the jail. Like it's just you're not your paths, your paths don't cross, [04:36:44.840 --> 04:36:50.000] you're both running your your independent your independent cases. There were a few cases that [04:36:50.000 --> 04:36:54.860] we collaborated on and worked on as a team. But for the most part, we did work independently. [04:36:55.160 --> 04:37:00.520] So honestly, we really didn't see each other at work any more than, you know, I think couples [04:37:00.520 --> 04:37:04.500] that don't work together would tend to see each other during the day. We did get to go out [04:37:04.500 --> 04:37:08.180] to lunch a lot together. That that was nice, though. I mean, that's fun. That's that's a [04:37:08.180 --> 04:37:15.380] good part of the that's a good part of the day. So oh, a original action. Yes, original [04:37:15.380 --> 04:37:21.740] action. That's what I'm going to be evaluating. I mean, it seems like the obvious pathway I know [04:37:21.740 --> 04:37:27.920] I know the standard is difficult, potentially difficult to meet. But yeah, I'm going to be [04:37:27.920 --> 04:37:32.140] looking at that process, looking at that rabbit hole. And that's what I will be exploring for [04:37:32.140 --> 04:37:37.980] sure. So yes, thank you. The original action for you and lawyer Lee need to do a collab. [04:37:38.260 --> 04:37:43.080] I agree. I would love to do a collab with her. I think I think that would be fantastic. [04:37:43.740 --> 04:37:50.100] Maybe I'll suggest it. I know she did recap over the weekend. I haven't really planned on doing [04:37:50.100 --> 04:37:56.900] a recap over the weekend on my own channel. I'm going to be going on Sunday, Sunday afternoon, [04:37:56.900 --> 04:38:01.580] I'm going to go on Grizzly Gisela Grizzly True Crime. I'm going to go on with her [04:38:02.880 --> 04:38:08.680] to give like the weekly recap. So I already have that that kind of lined up. [04:38:08.680 --> 04:38:15.980] Um, but she does her weekly, she does a weekly recap on her channel, at least she did last [04:38:15.980 --> 04:38:22.020] week. So maybe I'll suggest if she wants, if she wants, I'm happy to go on. I would love [04:38:22.020 --> 04:38:29.600] to do a collab. She has been great to have at this trial, just, you know, not just another [04:38:29.600 --> 04:38:35.920] person there in the trenches. You know, the trenches really do build that brotherhood, [04:38:35.920 --> 04:38:43.840] sisterhood as as as it may be. But just, you know, having another person having another lawyer's [04:38:43.840 --> 04:38:48.660] mind, the ideas to bounce off each other, all of that stuff is really been I've really [04:38:48.660 --> 04:38:56.180] enjoyed it. I've appreciated having her here. BLT became a YouTube member. Thank you for [04:38:56.180 --> 04:39:03.000] joining us and welcome. PDF photography. Did anyone ask if the ringtone volume was on? [04:39:03.000 --> 04:39:08.120] Wouldn't someone have heard the phone ringing when family looking for them? That is see, [04:39:08.480 --> 04:39:13.780] this is why I love the group mind. I didn't even think of that. I didn't even think of [04:39:13.780 --> 04:39:19.860] that. No, nobody asked. Nobody asked about the ringtone volume. Nobody asked about that. [04:39:20.020 --> 04:39:25.820] That's such a great observation. It must, you know, yeah, did it get put on silent? [04:39:25.820 --> 04:39:33.980] You would hear it so far in that woods, the way the sound carries, you would hear that for like, [04:39:34.820 --> 04:39:41.660] I mean, at least quarter mile, maybe half mile, I mean, you are going to hear you hear [04:39:41.660 --> 04:39:48.480] everything in there. I don't know if it's part of like, just because the creek is in [04:39:48.480 --> 04:40:00.400] depression and how that works with the sound or something. But yeah, you would hear the ringer [04:40:00.400 --> 04:40:06.740] if it was on. Such a good observation. Tilly T with a super sticker. Thank you so much [04:40:06.740 --> 04:40:13.580] for that Tilly. Really appreciate your support. BLT, my goodness. Thanks for what you are [04:40:13.580 --> 04:40:18.100] doing. It's incredibly important for us to be able to get multiple viewpoints from different [04:40:18.100 --> 04:40:24.680] media that have different motives and obligations. I could not agree more. I think it's so important [04:40:24.680 --> 04:40:31.900] to hear the different perspectives. Mine is just mine. I am not the authority. I am not [04:40:31.900 --> 04:40:37.880] definitive. Take it for what it's worth. I like hearing from other people, too. I think [04:40:37.880 --> 04:40:43.840] we just we all we all get more intelligent that way, you know, the more we can test our [04:40:43.840 --> 04:40:50.660] ideas off of each other. Here's two Starbucks coffees after YouTube and taxes. You're a hero, [04:40:50.840 --> 04:40:57.740] dude. Well, thank you. Boy, that's that's blackpilled, isn't it? And yet not entirely [04:40:57.740 --> 04:41:11.910] wrong. Thank you. I really I really do appreciate that. Asly. Asly. Apple has Wi-Fi [04:41:11.910 --> 04:41:17.310] calling. iMessage can be with Wi-Fi only. No tower connection would be no SMS, though. [04:41:17.330 --> 04:41:23.670] Airplane mode possible if on Wi-Fi somehow. That's interesting. I did not know about [04:41:23.670 --> 04:41:31.090] about Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi only calling. So yeah, if she had if she had if she had Wi-Fi enabled, [04:41:31.250 --> 04:41:41.400] I suppose I suppose that could be possible. Suppose it could be. She was connected to [04:41:41.400 --> 04:41:47.700] Wi-Fi network down in there. I don't I don't recall. I mean, I didn't check when I was [04:41:47.700 --> 04:41:52.180] down there. I had my I had 5G, you know, I was getting 5G service. I didn't check to see if [04:41:52.180 --> 04:41:58.000] there was any any Wi-Fi connections, any, you know, open connections or anything like that [04:41:59.340 --> 04:42:06.480] could be possible. Akira. I would expect bridge guy's pants to be wet going through [04:42:06.480 --> 04:42:10.360] the water. No witness has stated this or did I miss this? No, it's true. She did not [04:42:10.360 --> 04:42:15.300] say that his pants were wet. And, you know, the other the other thing this is, again, [04:42:15.300 --> 04:42:21.640] a good point. You've given me an idea because Sarah Carbaugh is the one who saw him after [04:42:25.240 --> 04:42:32.180] the fact described, excuse me, described the pants as bloody, basically from the knee down. [04:42:32.180 --> 04:42:36.660] And she was describing it as blood droplets, like it looked like a like a spray. [04:42:39.540 --> 04:42:45.080] I suppose, I mean, either way, if the pants were wet first, and then got blood drop blood [04:42:45.080 --> 04:42:50.440] droplets on them, or if it had gotten the blood on it and then gotten in the water, those blood, [04:42:50.600 --> 04:42:59.640] it's going to run, right? The it's getting late, guys. One of those properties of water, [04:42:59.760 --> 04:43:04.360] you know, I don't think it's the surface tension that would do that. [04:43:04.360 --> 04:43:13.160] Um, but it would the the the the blood if it's especially if it's still, you know, [04:43:13.340 --> 04:43:19.420] fresh, still still wet, it would seep, it would seep into that wet area. So it would not be [04:43:19.740 --> 04:43:24.380] like a distinct droplet. You would think it would look more it would look more like [04:43:24.380 --> 04:43:31.380] smears or something like that. So she's the only one that has has claimed to see him [04:43:31.380 --> 04:43:36.700] after the fact she did not say anything about the pants being wet. Her description of the [04:43:36.700 --> 04:43:43.000] pants, especially because she's describing him as so covered in mud, so covered in mud, [04:43:43.020 --> 04:43:51.830] that's not consistent with being wet. Could he have gotten wet? And then, I don't know, [04:43:53.440 --> 04:44:02.300] scooted down one of the creek banks or something, like rolled down, I don't know, [04:44:02.300 --> 04:44:07.560] it's just that doesn't it doesn't explain the pattern that she's described. You know, if she's [04:44:07.560 --> 04:44:13.160] accurate in her description that it was it was blood on his pants up to about the knees and [04:44:13.160 --> 04:44:18.760] above that it was it was muddy. It's a strange pattern anyway, to kind of be describing. [04:44:20.360 --> 04:44:25.400] But if you're sliding around sliding around in the mud climbing out of a hole or something [04:44:25.400 --> 04:44:29.300] like that, you think you're going to have mud all over the bottom of your pants way more [04:44:29.300 --> 04:44:34.420] you're going to have on the top of your pants. So it's just a little bit of an odd [04:44:34.420 --> 04:44:39.280] description altogether. But yeah, I agree. Nobody said his pants were wet. [04:44:40.900 --> 04:44:46.200] Katherine Joy with a super sticker. Really appreciate that. Appreciate all your guys's [04:44:46.200 --> 04:44:53.520] support. Boy, this has been this has been a bit of a long one. So maybe a little bit [04:44:53.520 --> 04:44:57.420] longer than that than I thought we were going to go. But I really do appreciate all [04:44:57.420 --> 04:45:02.540] your comments, all of your support, all of your all of your stickers, all of your questions, [04:45:02.920 --> 04:45:08.960] everything has been. It's just been a great, great group experience already. We still have [04:45:08.960 --> 04:45:16.340] a lot of trial to go a lot of information to get. You've given me so many good ideas [04:45:16.340 --> 04:45:21.980] and just things to think about. And now, you know, at least the next at least the next [04:45:21.980 --> 04:45:27.380] couple nights, I'm going to be able to get some sleep. Hopefully that's going to help the [04:45:27.380 --> 04:45:33.360] synapses fire back up at their at their normal speeds again, be able to retain a [04:45:33.360 --> 04:45:40.200] little bit more and process a little bit better. I know that sleep losing sleep is very [04:45:40.200 --> 04:45:44.540] unhealthy. I've talked about how, you know, it doesn't really bother me like I'm not feeling [04:45:44.540 --> 04:45:48.960] bad or anything like that. And it's true. I mean, I feel like I have a pretty good [04:45:48.960 --> 04:45:54.140] perspective towards discomfort and boxing has taught me a lot about that. But I do [04:45:54.140 --> 04:46:00.920] recognize that my subjective feelings about it aside, losing sleep is extremely unhealthy. [04:46:02.240 --> 04:46:06.900] Was it theory neutral? Was it you that asked for my my book, my book recommendations [04:46:06.900 --> 04:46:11.020] at some point? Maybe it was maybe it was Jeffrey Thornton. Somebody did. I remember [04:46:11.020 --> 04:46:14.540] a comment. Somebody asked me for my book recommendations because the very first one I [04:46:14.540 --> 04:46:21.100] was was Cadillac Desert. Just sort of randomly. It was on my mind. But another interesting book [04:46:21.100 --> 04:46:26.580] recommendation that I really enjoyed. I like nonfiction. I can give you some fiction [04:46:26.580 --> 04:46:31.960] ones sometimes, too. I like fiction, too. But I really do enjoy nonfiction. Why we sleep? [04:46:32.820 --> 04:46:39.540] Why we sleep? Fascinating, absolutely fascinating read. Like we don't know that [04:46:39.540 --> 04:46:44.440] much about sleep. Like it doesn't make sense in so many ways. Like how we have this whole [04:46:44.440 --> 04:46:49.460] shut off. It's so much like a computer, right? Like we need to shut off and load our updates [04:46:49.460 --> 04:46:57.520] and things like that. Yet we're, you know, a biological creature. Really, really fascinating. [04:46:57.660 --> 04:47:02.120] A lot of just information about what we know. And yes, the effects of sleep [04:47:02.120 --> 04:47:06.160] deprivation and stuff like that does not take much at all before you start, you know, [04:47:06.180 --> 04:47:11.940] losing your cognitive abilities. So I am very aware of that. And hopefully that hasn't [04:47:12.670 --> 04:47:18.900] been too much of an issue, notwithstanding the Judge Beves and the Idaho-Indianas. [04:47:20.200 --> 04:47:27.600] Blame that on the sleep, but I do tend to the malapropisms. So anyway, if you're [04:47:27.600 --> 04:47:35.040] interested in that, it really is a fascinating book. One of the things I just thought was [04:47:35.040 --> 04:47:40.600] really interesting, too, was I just talked about how all kinds of different... like [04:47:40.600 --> 04:47:48.740] everybody sleeps, right? All animals sleep, even like little microbes. They seem to sleep, [04:47:48.860 --> 04:47:52.840] like I'm sure their experience of sleep is not like ours because we don't, you know, [04:47:52.880 --> 04:47:57.880] we don't have the same nervous type of like nervous system. But all animals sleep. We [04:47:57.880 --> 04:48:04.160] sleep for different lengths. We have like different sleep patterns. I just find all that [04:48:04.160 --> 04:48:09.520] kind of stuff really interesting. So great book if you're interested in it. Ms. Torian, [04:48:09.520 --> 04:48:14.340] gifted in Andrea Burkhart membership. Thank you so much. And thank you on behalf of the [04:48:14.340 --> 04:48:20.520] person who got that membership. I'm sure they will be very appreciative. I'm gonna go catch [04:48:20.520 --> 04:48:25.760] up on my sleep, guys. Chug the rest of my water, get dehydrated, and look forward to [04:48:25.760 --> 04:48:33.660] waking up at the glorious, glorious late hour of like 530. It feels so luxurious. [04:48:34.560 --> 04:48:41.640] I'm really gonna get to sleep in it's gonna be fantastic. So just once again, big old shout [04:48:41.640 --> 04:48:47.200] out to the lane sitters, absolute, absolute guardian angels. I was I was so overwhelmed [04:48:47.200 --> 04:48:53.080] to get there and just see that this this wonderful person and taking it upon herself [04:48:53.080 --> 04:48:57.380] to volunteer to do that and just took the initiative to show up and do it and is, [04:48:57.380 --> 04:49:01.280] you know, helping to organize it for for future days. I'm so grateful, [04:49:02.520 --> 04:49:07.460] really is is going to help a lot take a take a big take a big load off. So [04:49:08.240 --> 04:49:15.980] so grateful. Shout out to you guys. Shout out to Lee lawyerly. Thank you for saving me [04:49:15.980 --> 04:49:22.380] with this pen, so that I could get those jury questions without too much while I was [04:49:22.380 --> 04:49:26.580] running even shaking my pen to get those last little bits of ink out. I don't think [04:49:26.580 --> 04:49:32.720] I was going to make it especially given how many they had about that forensic extraction. [04:49:33.780 --> 04:49:37.920] Thank you as well to all of you guys. Shout out to all of you. Shout out to all of you [04:49:37.920 --> 04:49:45.020] that care about this case, that care about justice, that care about truth, seeing that [04:49:45.020 --> 04:49:50.900] the right thing is done, that care about transparency, and recognize that these are [04:49:50.900 --> 04:49:59.200] our courts. These courts operate for us. They operate in our name. We are responsible for them [04:49:59.200 --> 04:50:07.800] and we we we we bear some responsibility for for what what goes on in them. So that's why [04:50:07.800 --> 04:50:14.020] it is so important for us to monitor them to be aware of the processes and keep track of [04:50:14.020 --> 04:50:19.500] of what is happening so that when it's wrong we know and we can do something about it. [04:50:19.500 --> 04:50:24.920] So thank you all so much for joining me on that mission. It means a lot to me. It's great to have [04:50:24.920 --> 04:50:32.060] an army for things that matter. So looking forward to day nine tomorrow guys. Looking forward [04:50:32.060 --> 04:50:37.000] to seeing it with a little bit more sleep and looking forward to seeing you all again [04:50:37.000 --> 04:50:42.480] tomorrow night for the recap once we wrap up day nine. Very interested to see what we have [04:50:42.480 --> 04:50:47.800] So thanks again for joining me. I will look forward to seeing you soon.
