Defense: if they (prosecutors) can't decide, they shouldn't come to you (jury) & make you do it @FOX4 #arochitrial

L.P. Phillips ‏@lpphillips 6m6 minutes ago Manhattan, NY

L.P. Phillips ‏@lpphillips 5m5 minutes ago Manhattan, NY
Gore takes a swipe at Det Busby, who said EA tried to briefly put arm around another woman. That is evidence of asexual aslt? #arochitrial

Defense: testimony re Arochi intent to commit sexual assault - no evidence, what state presented flimsy @FOX4 #arochitrial

Grrr, defense is okay, but her dna did not get there by cross contamination in my opinion, and he cleaned out the inside of car.

 

[Momoffourboys]

I think the defense is very convincing.

I know its not a popular opinion.

 

[SailorMoon]

I always wonder what the judge is looking at/doing. He's paying attention though.

 

[SteveS]

Does the prosecution get to rebut again? Or just one time?

Each side gets 45 minutes. The order is Pros - Def - Pros.

So at this point, the state will have another 36 minutes to speak, after the defense's turn ends.

 

[bellesnwhistles]

I had to stop, I can not stand this def atty.

"Trunk mat was put into a box & the box wasn't sealed." That's a breach of protocol in property room. #ArochiTrial @NBCDFW

Alice Barr ‏@AliceBarrNBC5 2m2 minutes ago McKinney, TX
Damage to Arochi's car, several friends testified they don't remember seeing damage. But defense asks why would they notice? #ArochiTrial

Gore references amount of DNA in picograms that can be transferred "seems in realm of possibility, doesn't it?" he said #arochitrial

Scott Sidway ‏@ScottyWK 3m3 minutes ago
Defense is breaking each part of the prosecution's case. Arochi demeanor, DNA, Camaro damage. #arochitrial

Jobin PanickerVerified account ‏@jobinpnews 3m3 minutes ago
The #ChristinaMorris family is all here in courtroom for the first time. #ArochiTrial

 

[bellesnwhistles]

They brought in a better expert witness, who told the jury the information the defense expert had conveniently failed to mention in his testimony. Adding "the rest of the story" basically refuted almost everything the defense witness was saying.

ETA - I can't believe they flew this defense expert in for that kind of tomfoolery. But it also says a lot about where they are in this case, since that's the best they have to offer.

Each side gets 45 minutes. The order is Pros - Def - Pros.

So at this point, the state will have another 36 minutes to speak, after the defense's turn ends.

Can someone tell me when the pros starts again?

L.P. Phillips ‏@lpphillips 3m3 minutes ago Manhattan, NY
Gore: the State's expert said he could spot whether there was a dent by light. State has not proven one way or another. #arochitrial

Natalie Solis ‏@Fox4Natalie 3m3 minutes ago McKinney, TX

Gore: A head could have caused the dent in the fender #arochitrial

Alice Barr ‏@AliceBarrNBC5 3m3 minutes ago McKinney, TX
If there was evidence Arochi injured himself before that night that might change theory defense says there is a witness to that #ArochiTrial

L.P. Phillips ‏@lpphillips 2m2 minutes ago Manhattan, NY
Here's where we are. We know they left together. The rest of the state's case is cobbled together to make a theory #arochitrial

Natalie Solis ‏@Fox4Natalie 2m2 minutes ago McKinney, TX
Defense: testimony that a head caused damage to camaro was to "inflame you" @FOX4 #arochitrial

I always wonder what the judge is looking at/doing. He's paying attention though.

Hahaha, I was trying to see if he had any reaction to defense calling him a "drill sargeant" multiple times!

[Spiritecho]

So Pros said in closing HF DID go to Plano about 11pm that night, then turned came back/turned around? Def is syaing someone named Alex talked about EA's injuries prior? What did I miss?

Alice Barr ‏@AliceBarrNBC5 2m2 minutes ago Manhattan, NY

L.P. Phillips ‏@lpphillips 2m2 minutes ago Manhattan, NY

Alice Barr ‏@AliceBarrNBC5 2m2 minutes ago Manhattan, NY
Defense: Police admit Hunter Foster is the most likely suspect as the boyfriend. "It requires no assumptions." #ArochiTrial @NBCDFW

Defense: poking holes in Foster testimony that he never went north of 635 even though toll records showed otherwise @Fox4 #ArochiTrial

Alice Barr ‏@AliceBarrNBC5 3m3 minutes ago Manhattan, NY
Tollway records show Hunter Foster did leave downtown Dallas. He sold drugs to an undercover officer that night. #ArochiTrial @NBCDFW

L.P. Phillips ‏@lpphillips 3m3 minutes ago Manhattan, NY
Gore: We know HF was selling drugs to undercover officer. #arochitrial

L.P. Phillips ‏@lpphillips 3m3 minutes ago Manhattan, NY
Gore: The thing about HF is it requires no assumptions. HF claims never outside uptown area, but NTTA records show otherwise #arochitrial

L.P. Phillips ‏@lpphillips 2m2 minutes ago Manhattan, NY
Gore: Prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt HF was not involved. #arochitrial

L.P. Phillips ‏@lpphillips 2m2 minutes ago Manhattan, NY
For second time judge makes Gore take down a slide that has evidence not admitted. #arochitrial

Scott Sidway ‏@ScottyWK 2m2 minutes ago
Defense says not his job to prove Hunter Foster did it, but that it's prosecution job to prove beyond reas doubt he didn't. #arochitrial

 

[SailorMoon]

Is he doing the whole 45 minutes??? For the love of pete when did he start???

 

[SailorMoon]

IMO Arochi, who looked better 2 years ago, thought he had cleaned the car and got rid of any evidence. I would think that dea had trackers on Hunter's car and everything else so no need to put new trackers on it.
