Same here ! I was a bit thrown off by that knowledge. Sort of explains the "who gives a hoot" attitude of the AZ LE.

Exactly! Apparently, AZ LE says... Dress in camo and sneak on in. Carry your walkie-talkie/radio and your cell phone... maybe bring some friends and enemies with ya! And, if a private property owner sees ya... we can work that out as trespassing is really no big deal either. Leave some discarded trash along the way, too... someone else will clean that up!

Caught up with yesterday's trial replay. Some good testimony from witnesses, and cross exam by both defense attorneys was brutal. The cross of the states Dispatch employee was lengthy, and will continue on Friday am. Defense so far, IMO was able to clearly show discrepancies and narrative twisting of the dispatch calls, showing the LE's presumption of guilt before gaining the full story from the actual victim of the original call ( GAK )
Today, the trial will continue in court for the am session, then break for lunch and then it's FIELD TRIP TIME !!
Per Judge, the jurors will be transferred in a van with court deputies and sheriff accompanying them. They will arrive at the Kelly ranch, and be allowed to visit 12-14 agreed upon areas of interest, including the inside of the Kelly's home.
Wanda Kelly will be there, but will remain behind closed doors in her bedroom ( with her cat? ). GAK will be present, alongside his defense team..who will be standing outside quietly watching. States attorneys and detective will be there also, standing quietly to the side.
Discussed was also WHO exactly will be the " stand-in" for GCB and his field position. The defense had volunteered the husband of Larkin, also an attorney. He would dress in camo clothes very similar to what CCB was wearing and stand in the field where the body was found. This would allow the jurors to witness themselves if they could see the victim from many different viewpoints from the property. The state, of course..objected to Mr Larkin. They want one of their detectives or a court personnel to be the stand in. This decision on 'who' was not finalized.
Per judge, after the walk-through of the Kelly ranch, the jurors will be driven to the border area. After that, they will return to court, and be recessed for the day. Also noted, there will be no questions and answers during the visit. The jury will be allowed to take notes and write down questions, which may be answered on Friday am during trial.
Should be an interesting day today. Sad we can't 'be there'.

OMG the Judge is having a melt down. Scolding both teams for dragging out the trial. Giving the defense only 5 minutes, defense objected to this so Judge lowered it to 4 minutes. Am I reading this correctly that Judge walked out?

Tensions rise in the courtroom during Arizona rancher murder trial
The atmosphere in the courtroom was charged as Judge Fink addressed the prolonged trial and scolded the lawyers on both sides for dragging out proceedings into its third week.

My oh my !
The defense was scoring points yesterday, IMO. But I could also see that the hopeful planned resting of the states case was getting pushed back. If he is limiting time for cross exam to 4-5 minutes, that is a serious issue on appeal. There were two witnesses yesterday, who both had to be brought back for further questioning. One of them couldn't return today, but will be available tomorrow. That is not the attorneys fault. IMO
I wish I had been watching when this happened. I can't imagine, like you say, that this won't have a serious appeal issue.
I haven't seen that happen before.

I wonder if this is true. If true, I have to question the judge's motives for being so anxious to get the trial over with. A planned vacay for him he thinks he will miss?
Walking off only prolongs the trial. Unprofessional.

Not sure what's going on here, but something is up. And it's a drastic change. They ( both sides) have been given free reign on time for exam and cross exams since the onset. This sudden flip, so close to the end screams ( to me ) not time issued at all.
Ponder away....

Most recent video (Day 12 - today am)... it was admitted as evidence with message from judge to disregard transcribed translation (rely only on what they "hear") after defense attorney objects to it.
