Elizabeth Johnson Trial - Day 3 - 2nd Day of Testimony, Tuesday, Sept 25

[Wishbone]

No wonder they need a transcript

 

[Troubled]

Why are they sitting next to a radio while they are trying to get a taped statement?

 

[belladonna]

Judge is back in the courtroom . . . EJ is back but jurors are not . . . they have transcripts ready to be given to jury when they are ready to hear audio . . . Jurors will have transcripts to follow along while listening but they are going to have to leave them on their chairs and the transcripts will be collected from the jurors.

EJ assured the Judge she is doing better now.

That music on recording is just awful!!!!

 

[Wishbone]

OMG, she lies as much as CA did.....and drones on and on just like her too

 

[Troubled]

I totally agree wishbone.

 

[momtective]

That music on recording is just awful!!!!

Hideous! I don't think I'll ever be able to shop in the .99 cent store.

 

[Troubled]

It would be nice if they would have provided a transcript for the viewers.

I'm so glad the jury is hearing the audio even with the hideous background music...they have a transcript of crazy...they can see it with their own eyes and the music only serves to add to the ambiance of the psychotic moment. jmo

 

[seattlechiquita]

[wenwe4]

No further questions from Prosecutors, Defense nor Jury. Det. Duplisis up next

 

[wenwe4]

I haz confuzionz. Where did that phone call took place?

That was not a phone call . . . it was recording of officer Smith and EJ @ the 99 cent store (with awful music)

 

[wenwe4]

Det. Duplisis 12 years Peace Officer Tempe PD . . . . over 15 yrs employed there . . . for last 5 years on Persons Crimes unit . . . missing child investigation 12/28/09, he attended briefing held with Patrol and Criminal investigations unit - regarding report taken the day prior from Logan re: EJ and child missing. Attended court hearing that date at Family Court in Phoenix - he was officer assigned to answer questions for the court if they had any. Very brief meeting w/Logan outside the court - Det. had read the report and met briefly with Logan . . . Judge granted Temp Custody to Logan, papers included a warrant to take the child into custody once child found. . . . envelope ID'd impounded item into evidence . . . documents inside were ones he retrieved from court that day.

Personally - I think Miss EJ is having a very Borderline moment or Narcissistic wherein she just cannot stand to not be the center of attention and want people to have compassion for her.

Yup, sounds exactly like Casey Anthony. Two little girls that think too much of themselves.

If she and Logan were two truly messed up kids that wanted to give their child a better life then the adoption would have been agreed to by both of them. She may want to come off as a total victim in Tammi's web, but with her text on killing Gabriel she shows cold calculation. I sure hope the jury picks up on that.

Warrant was entered into NCIC, and Nat. Center for Missing and Exploited Children, on 12/30/09 he contacted AZ health statistics to flag birth file of missing child if anyone ordered duplicate copy they would be notified and followed up on various tips coming in at that time . . . on 1/5/10(?) presentation for LE . . . reviewed various police reports and assist Det. Thompson with large volume of info to have organized data to present to San Antonio LE. . . Field interrogation card aka street check . . . something thatidedon't represent a crime but there was police contact. Report made by EJ that Gabriel was missing in Dec. but later found child not missing he was located with Father @ Father's Grandparent home . . . also 99 cent store incident, and request from Logan for LE help to locate Gabriel for court ordered visits. Made recordings of digital recorder that Logan provided . . . an early model - did not have a USB flash drive . . . had to play the recording and then record it with his USB enabled recorder to make a copy on the computer. Recordings between EJ & Logan, and Logan and TPS, and phone calls between TPS Jack Smith and Logan. Recordings involving EJ included recordings whre she reported to have killed the child. Also phone call that Logan had with TPS for the first time . . and TPS w/Jack and Logan re:adoption issues. . . . TPs discussed with Logan different types of adoption ie: open adoption and spoke with Logan on multiple times about it . . . . TPS wanted Logan to "consider" adoption = det. agrees "consider is fair word". Jack and Logan conversation where EJ wanted an adoption to take place = Logan would have 5 days to consider adoption after signing if wanted to reconsider. (it should be noted EJ is smiling and adjusting her neckline - not appearing to be in any distress hearing discussion about killing her child or adoption)
