Duh, I know this. Lol I think I'll chalk it up to temporary brain death. Thank you to you and Missy for correcting me.I actually think RSBM = respectfully snipped by me.
RBBM= respectfully bolded by me.
MOO
I really hope they tested the hair and were able to get usable results.
I'm confused. Lol!
Why is the testing just being done now? The defense has had just as much right, and time to test any evidence they select if they think it points to someone else being the killer.
If they have identifiable DNA profiles they can file a motion before the judge asking that it be put into CODIS.
Have they done so? Judges give wide latitude to let the defense test any evidence they believe may be exculpatory.
The only drawback for the defense is if it identifies their client, the state is made aware of all results.
CA is a reciprocal discovery state, iirc. Each side also has the same rights to do their own testing.
As far as her other testimony, I dont think it proves anything one way or the other.
What does an above ground study have to do with this case since the victims weren't placed above ground?
Again can someone explain to me the defense's explanation why they want the jury to believe the Trooper evidence is simply CMs transfer DNA, but then they want the jury to believe the total opposite, believing the degraded DNA found inside of the two graves is somehow suppose to point to the killers?

I don't know if indeed they are just now testing the hair, or if they did at all. Susanna said she carefully placed the hair in an envelope? and mailed it back to San Bernardino. She never said she tested it, and it would be foolish if they did. It is up to the prosecution to prove CM is the killer.
The old adage applies: a good lawyer never asks a question he doesn't know the answer to.
Because both examples are a possibility, which in turn create reasonable doubt. The job of the DT is to create as much reasonable doubt as they possibly can and IMO, they’re successfully doing so.Again can someone explain to me the defense's explanation why they want the jury to believe the Trooper evidence is simply CMs transfer DNA, but then they want the jury to believe the total opposite, believing the degraded DNA found inside of the two graves is somehow suppose to point to the killers?
We don’t know how Summer really felt about either one of them. However, MM testified there was a problem between them.
MM said he and Joey were very close. Yet, he was never at the Avo house, IIRC. I wonder if Summer didn’t want MM in her home after the argument in July. It might have been enough to have severed ties completely. JMO.

McGee is lead counsel for CM and Daugherty and Imes are both lead counsels for the PT.
I dont think they are comparable though. Mike and his family didnt live close by.
However it seems Summer was having to deal with MM on a daily basis, so much so, the neighbors thought he lived there.
I think that caused Summer much more stress, than a brother in law who didnt even live close by.
I think Summers main thorn in her side, was Merritt around the time they were all murdered.

Both are a possibility, but the defense can't prove that the two had contact with each other, let alone even met that afternoon. Chase's account for the meeting was a sorting of bumbling lies.

Lmao like when Maline was telling Mike his truck was identical to Chase and Mike had to explain to him his was a dually, two completely different trucks!The old adage applies: a good lawyer never asks a question he doesn't know the answer to.
I wonder if McGee is lead counsel because he's retained? I know that in defense OS McGee says that Maline was the first one who got involved in the case and decided to bring McGee in. Maline is also the one sitting directly next to Chase at the defense table.
Oh well. I guess it really doesn't matter anyway. LOL![]()

Do you mean CM, OBE?

what kind of knot was it?

One knot was at his neck... the other one was tied to the red strap at his waist.
Speaking of the electrical cord ..... When questioning Suzanna Ryan, I noticed McGee referenced the cord as 2 separate items. Item # E-11 (exhibit 994, which I guess the exhibits are the photos of the actual item of evidence). And Item # E-15 (exhibit 997).
I believe E-11 has the male part attached.
Plus the coroner, Dr. Changsri, said in her testimony... “Around the pelvic area there is a white electrical cord that is tied to a red strap that’s knotted in the back. There’s also an S-shaped metal hook that’s attached to that strap. On the neck area, there’s a white electrical cord tied in the back.”
Were there 2 cords?
MOO
I'd still like to know what the DNA was found on. I haven't listen to all of Ryan's testimony, did she say what it was on?
For me, if it was on anything but the murder weapon, it's all irrelevant. It's just the defense trying to make the state look like it missed things or wasn't thorough enough with evidence.
