Hey Niner! Ive been looking too but havent seen anything yet-Im wondering if theres some issue theyre tending to prior o bringing the jury in, or if they didnt have staff to spare after a busy weekend in town. This was the last weekend of three large music festivals, so most reports have been about that. Will keep you posted if I come across anything!
Im wondering if media interest will wane now that Javier Garcia has testified
Thanks for the explanation! I just moved here - well - been here a year and a half from California, so getting used to these evenings where the sun is still up - as now at 9:30pm! Love the extra light!
But what does the "Bridge" part come from, if you know?

Cristin Smith's 2006 interview with detective: Detective: "Did Robert ever ask you to give him an alibi for where he was?" Smith: "No."
The audio of Cristin Smith's 2006 interview with detective has ended. Prosecution moves on to asking question of former @RSO investigator Scott Michaels, who has been sitting at the stand during audio recordings.
Michaels says it took nearly two weeks to interview Cristin Smith in Sept. of 2006 because they had missed communications with Smith and it was a small department with limited resources. Michaels testifies that Smith was cooperative in demeanor once they connected for interview.
Smith's defense attorney cross examines Michaels. Establishes that no one ever interviewed Smith's mother who lived across the street, nor Smith's aunt Norma, who was living at Smith's father's home. Both places Smith says he was at the day of the murders.
Smith's defense attorney John Patrick Dolan establishes that no one ever examined the Xbox that Smith and Pape allegedly were playing on.
No more questions from Smith's attorney John Patrick Dolan. Former @RSO investigator Scott Michaels is still on the stand. Jeff Moore, defense attorney for Robert Pape, is now asking questions.
Moore is establishing that Robert Pape's mother and sister never had any follow up interviews with investigators. Investigators also did not follow up with some of Pape's co-workers or Sacred Heart Church. Investigators did not follow up with Smith's girlfriend Jackie Muto either
Fmr. @RSO investigator Scott Michaels testifies he went to gas station on Sept. 30th that Pape and Smith allegedly went to get gas the night of murders (Sept. 17). Manager of gas pump told Michaels the recording equipment was unreliable. Video is recorded-over every 7 days.
Fmr. @RSO investigator Scott Michaels testifies he did not get transaction records from gas station.
Fmr. @RSO investigator Scott Michaels testifies he did not document these facts in his report.

Moore has no more questions. Prosecution takes up with questions again. Fmr. @RSO investigator Scott Michaels testifies that there was no reason to interview aforementioned people because they were not with the pair during the hours of the murders.
Fmr. @RSO investigator Scott Michaels testifies he does not recall ever going into Smith's mother's house. Defense counsel Dolan seems to have documentation that states otherwise. Judge calls recess.
Our team coverage of the #PinyonPines triple murder trial will continue tonight on-air on @KESQ and @LocalTwo. Two Cathedral City High School graduates, Robert Pape and Cristin Smith, face three counts of first degree murder with special circumstance allegations.
