2011.05.27 TRIAL Day Four (Afternoon Session)

[Amster]

Show the deposition, JB. This guy has NO reason to lie.

 

[dog.gone.cute]

:great: Mr. Birch is a very good witness ...

Now being questioned by JB ... I hope JB does NOT insult this nice man ...

 

[Chiquita71]

JB: by law you are required to send a notice on the fourth day?

yes sir

JB: you testified the anthonys had informed you because of the holiday...

that is the assumption because I am not aware when the letters were sent out, it seemed to be the conclusion between us...

JB: they told you they had been out of town?

yes

JB: you said when you were walking to the car mr anthony told you her granddaughter was missing?

words to that effect sir.

JB: when you got there you thought it was human decomp

it is a smell that is to me, reminds me of human decomp

JB: then mr anthony got in the car and tried to start the car

yes

JB: ?

JB: did you put the gas in before or after he started the car?

We tried to start the car first then got the gas

JB: if I show you the depo will that refresh your memory if he tried to start the car first or you put the gas in first.


This is crazy. This can't even be any help to the defense, this line of questioning. my goodness. IMHO.

 

[Shyla]

Is there evidence of paper towels with adipocere?

I am 99.9% sure there is.

 

[Beyond Belief]

i honestly think if someone notices decomposition smell coming from a vehicle it should be reported to LE.

 

[eaglemom]

I *think* JB does it on purpose so he can try and make the witnesses look bad as they are the state's witnesses

 

[SillyJilly]

SB is an EXCELLENT witness. JB is already trying to trip him up and he isn't having any of it, correcting him and reiterating what he said. He's very relaxed and calm about all of this as well. Best witness so far IMO:rocker:

 

[tehcloser]

What does it matter if they put the gas in first or opened the trunk first? I'm confused.

Because if the smell of decomp is overwhelming you and your grand daughter is missing, he should have been in a hurry to find the source of that smell, UNLESS he already knew what it was.

 

[QueenD]

Trying to say GA put car there at Amscott and GA knew it was out of gas.
This is what JB is trying to prove.

But GA has said and several other people ICA runs out of gas all the time.

 

[YellowSubmarine]

Here we go . . . death smell experience . . .

 

[ella971]

JB is going to help his client climb into a cell for life or the chair.

 

[Stella5]

You are the perfect person to tell the difference between garbage & human decomposition... LMAO ... JB working for the prosecution again!

 

[3doglady]

JB's trying to say that SB was going allow GA to drive away with a decomposing body in the car because they put gas in before checking trunk.

 

[GreenTeam]

JB doing state's work again, showing this witness to be a good judge of smells.

 

[Amity]

Mr. Birch.....a Prosecutors dream!

Clear, concise, articulate, doesn't waffle, doesn't hemm and hawww with his responses.
I love this!

 

[mitzi]

Jose thinks he's going in for the kill now.

 

[mollymil23]

He already said he was unsure of the order of things...ugh.

 

[SillyJilly]

JB is going to help his client climb into a cell for life or the chair.

Agreed!

 

[Linda7NJ]

Oh Lord...he we go! decomp smell!

 

[ami]

Uh oh, here we go with the gas can again. Are the gas cans really going to crack the case, JB?
