New trial petition circulates for Robert Pape and Cristin Smith From local news: a petition has started circulating requesting retrial

Regarding sentencing tomorrow (8/10): the twitter account to follow is www.twitter.com/jakeKESQ As you may have guessed, our local media has a high turnover rate because lots of the journalists leave to either work as reporters in larger areas or anchor local news in smaller towns. For those of...

Sure! Here’s a link Watch 48 Hours Season 30 Episode 57: Murder in Pinyon Pines - Full show on CBS All Access

Not sure if anyone saw, but Sunday there was an updated 48 hours that aired about the case on cbs. I believe it’s available for streaming if you’d like to see it

I think that’s a very likely scenario, especially given their ages and circumstances. Yeah, Smith is interesting because IMO he acted more like he had a guilty conscience; looking more nervous, recoiling from crime scene photos and purposefully moving his chair to avoid seeing the photos. From...

It was ruled in prelimary hearings that the alternate suspects didn’t meet the standard for third party culpability in the state of ca, that’s why they couldn’t present it. If I remember correctly there were cell phone pings that put Garcia on 74 (the route to pinyon pines), but I think it...

EXCLUSIVE: Key witness in Pinyon Pines triple murder trial speaks out Interview with Jeremy Witt, the controversial confidential informant turned key witness. Here’s my thoughts on Witt: is he an interesting character<modsnip>? Yes. But, if you were 18 and just made the biggest and most evil...

Kesq.com is doing live coverage, I just tuned in and they were interviewing prosecutors

I know they’ve deliberated other fridays, so I assume they’ll be back tomorrow. Even if they reach a verdict I think we’d have to wait until Monday for it to be read. Just my opinion, but I think we could still have a few more days of deliberations ahead of us. I can’t believe I let local news...

I think they were having difficulties with the audio playing back correctly so they needed a transcript/the court reporter to come back Apparently deliberations are still going strong

Anticlimactic to say the least.

100000%. People reaching to say he’s guilty, it’s nothing but thinly veiled racism. I completely agree. It’s sad because Southern California has a vast Hispanic population—you would think the area would be more open minded. I am so nervous waiting for this hearing to start.

Jeremy Chen is tweeting—media allowed in courtroom, waiting for them to get started and then that link above should livestream

Kesq says you can watch here? Livestream - KESQ Right now it’s just local news but maybe when it gets under way?

Hey Niner, The people who believe Garcia was the actual killer believe his motivation was being “friendzoned”—wanting a Romantic relationship with Becky, but being turned down. I think most people accept that Vicki and John were unfortunate collateral damage in a crime directed towards Becky...

If the jury hangs I really think they will reprosecute. Maybe not immediately, but I don’t see DA mike Hestrin letting a triple murder go. I have a lot of faith in him, and he was the county’s top prosecutor before being elected DA, so I honestly think he wouldn’t have brought it forward without...

IMO if they’re reviewing her testimony, it’s to review how much Pape and Smith would have known about the crime scene reasonably if they weren’t actually there. They piece together what she was told, when she found out certain things and she relays that she spoke with pape. She talks about what...

Hey shanda, Here’s a review of Tiffany’s testimony, the tweets from that day are in the article. UPDATING: Crime scene evidence scrutinized in Day 3 of Pinyon Pines triple murder trial - KESQ

I find this all very encouraging— Sara’s testimony was really unintentionally damaging, in my opinion. 1) she couldn’t get ahold of him the night of the murder and was panicked. Hadn’t happened before, hasn’t happened since. 2) didn’t know he’s been speaking with Becky, and thought that if he...

Hi Shanda. I haven’t heard people discussing a motive, many people use the “no motive” argument to profess their belief in the defendants innocence. I, however, will share with you what I believe in my heart to be the truth. I think that Becky and Robert had a romantic encounter after Robert...
