A couple thoughts about the camera in the washer, if she were there for any length of time while that load was washing, she would have heard it banging around as the washer agitated, it was likely too heavy to float and even if it did, it would have bumped the sides/agitator, so she had to have known it was in there.
If she left right after starting the washing machine, it had to have finished before Enrique got home, didn't the roommates use the laundryroom entrance of the house? He'd have heard the machine going, esp. with something like a camera inside the tub, from anywhere in the vicinity. And since washers made recently take about an hour per load, and he said he returned no later than 6:30, she needed to have been out of the house near 5:30, but the final camera picture is time-stamped at 5:33:32...something is amiss with this picture, no?
I'm wondering if the penalty retrial was vacated because JM was out on medical leave and couldn't properly prepare for the run-up to it. I do think they expected it to have been finished before Hulsey's trial started on May 12th as his was already scheduled (actually rescheduled from March to May) before JA's new date was set, the only thing that seems to have happened in the interim was JM having medical leave. There's been so much secrecy in her case lately it's really hard to know, but whatever medical issue JM had is the only thing I've seen connected.
