SB talking about walking to car with GA - Oh snap!!! HHJJP just called recess in middle of question!
 
Simon is an awesome witness! Knew the difference between garbage and decomp! He smelled the pontiac, and smelled a strong odor, but peeked in and didnt see anything suspicous. Didnt give it much more thought until GA and CA came to pick up the vehicle...

Excellent and knowledgeable witness in Mr. Birch. What a strike of luck that he has years of experience with both towing and garbage... Extremely credible... Wonder what Mr. Baez will do to try and minimize his knowledge...

I don't think JB will hurt this guy's credibility...Mr. Birch would make a better attorney than JB. LOL
 
Listen. If you have NEVER EVER EVER smelled human decomposition in your entire life--the second that you do you will know EXACTLY what it is. You will not question if it is an animal or garbage. You will instinctively know that it is a human being decaying.

and its a good question.

Quote Respect costalpilot :cool2:

This is in response to if Jose does that: not you. :blowkiss:

So what? That is not the crime here! Right? Is Mr. Brich going to get thrown under the bus?
