Morning all!
So is more of his interview to come once court is in session again? TIA
How much did the jury see yesterday?
As for BobCat's pic of CMs truck did PM take them himself? If so, he would certainly know the difference, like everyone else does, when it comes to tie down straps, and flags put there as a warning.
Those things seen sure dont look like any red flag warning markers I've ever seen where I live. They would be red flags hanging from the end of the load that are very visibly seen by any vehicles behind them.
Those in the pic are way too narrow in width, imo. They dont even look like the cheap reflector tape strips either. Imo.
Imo no one would even notice this as a danger warning. The red warning flags are attached so they can flap back, and forth in the wind to attract the attention of other drivers.
They usually place them on each side of the load too and not 2 thin strips hang on just one side.
Tie down straps for welders are as common for them to have in abundance as all other equipment needed.
They always carry them in their work truck. Its a necessity always accessible to the welder due to picking up heavy metal supplies, materials, and transporting the finished products. Imo, they never go anywhere without them, and they usually have more than needed.
I imagine when CM helped Joey move they used his own tie down straps since he would have him readily available in his work truck. They are fantastic for moving heavy furniture, and appliances.
My hubby uses a commercial tie down strap. They are also yellow with black stripes on the edges, and wide about 3 or 4 inches. The ratchets on his are very large handle rachets, and the rachets are made of strong metal. The ratchet handle can be removed from the strap.
He does use the regular thin red straps with the black ratchet to move my heavy concrete planters around or tying down large trees we've bought to plant or to move heavy inside furniture around for me. Etc.
I have seen him use his heavy duty tie downs to load a vehicle onto his flat bed trailer for a friend when he purchased a classic to restore.
It's amazing how strong they are. He just connected the tie down hook to the front inside the trailer, and hooked the tie down to the under carriage, then ratcheted the strap pulling the 3,500 pound vehicle UP the trailer ramp onto the trailer in place.
It's not a COINCIDENCE CM bound Joey with a tie down strap... since all welders, who have to do pick ups, and transporting metal products like CM always has them readily available at all times in their work trucks.
So Joey being found in the grave bound with a tie down...of all things... is another piece of evidence pointing to CM (the welder) being the murderer.
ETA. looking at the pic further imo its neither tie down straps nor reflector strips.
It looks like CM used rag strips by ripping a red shop rag, and used that instead.
Imo I've seen this done by some who are too cheap to buy the correct warning products.
Imo
