the exchange with Rodriquez and TJ about the "argument" ... there is more before and after this, but ... I did kinda laugh when she said "the detective only asked me about that night" <<< This is what I was saying earlier... most teenagers just answer what they were asked, if you don't ask them specifically, they won't give answers. (ETA: Maline goes into more detail about what else the transcript says and it does say something about the "conversation", I didn't type it all out though.. and there were parts that were hard to hear)
R: Where does it say that your parents argued over the whole weekend about that?
TJ : The detective only asked me about that night
R: So you didn't tell the detective what you testified to previously, that your parents argued over the entire weekend about that issue.
TJ: it wasn't that they argued about it over the entire weekend, it was that over the next couple of days when my Dad wasn't able to get a hold of Joseph, it became kinda like okay, this is out of the ordinary, and my Mom continued that conversation by saying well, see, you should have picked up your phone when he called you. You should have picked it up.
R: The question that was posed to you by defense counsel was 'Did the argument extend through the entire weekend?', and you were referred to pages 32-34 of the transcript and you didn't see anywhere in there where you told the detective that that argument extended over the weekend.
TJ: No, he was asking me about the night of the phone call.
In Cathy's testimony...
M: how would you communicate if he or the kids were in the clubhouse? would you call or walk over?
CJ: a lot of the time I would call but couldn't get a hold of him that way, so she would walk over to see what they were doing or when they were coming home.
M: Why was it difficult to sometimes get a hold of him?
CJ: I don't know, sometimes was bad reception.
I wonder if this exchange will open the door to the pro's using the jailhouse tapes? part of that was them talking about the reception between their place and the clubhouse IIRC
