#PinyonPines triple murder trial: The court and counsels are discussing stipulations and are trying to agree on some of them. Stipulations have to be agreed upon, and will be read aloud the the jury.
Judge is sending court to morning recess. People will begin to rest their case at 1:30. Jury will be brought back then. Defense is instructed to confer with their clients on how to proceed as far as strategy goes. We will be back for more discussions shortly.
Well, not too busy today! I shall post what happened after 1:30pm tomorrow morning!
Edited to: okay I read that wrong - I'll stick around and see if she posts anything after the morning recess. But it still stands - anything after 1:30pm will post tomorrow.

Back on the record for The People vs. Pape and Smith. #PinyonPines triple murder trial
10m
#PinyonPines triple murder trial: Back to discussions about key witness Jeremy Witt. Witt is a convicted felon, after impersonating a police officer in Kentucky. Defense wants to enter statements made involving Witt's character.
Lots of back and forth debate between judge and counsels. Judge orders court to lunch. Defense urged to research during lunch. Families of suspect and victims seem fatigued with this tedious process.
Ok - that ends my night here!
See you all tomorrow! :wave:

YESorNO - Your Welcome! :wave:
Well... would you believe there are NO tweets after lunch? :dunno:
Maybe I'll get a Google Alert for this case and it will have "something" in there with the afternoon session.
Be back later tonight for a new day!
