I agree with most of you on this thread! I think AGT is guilty, but the shoddy evidence collection scares me. That is not good for Sierra.

Her police interview was recorded. DA says she told police Def wasn't w her the morning #SierraLaMar vanished.
tracey kaplan ‏@tkaplanreport 2m2 minutes ago
"I don't remember," ad infinitum from ex-gf of #SierraLaMar defendant Antolin Garcia-Torres.
tracey kaplan ‏@tkaplanreport 3m3 minutes ago
def's ex-gf bears an uncanny resemblance at first glance to #SierraLaMar - dark long hair, petite build, clear skin.

Sarmiento says she doesn't remember whether she was with defendant Garcia-Torres the morning #SierraLaMar disappeared. Defense calls sidebar

Ex-gf recalls doing laundry at mom's, he dropped her off there that morning. But told grand jury she didn't remember If w him #SierraLaMar
Allison Levitsky ‏@levitskyyy 2m2 minutes ago
Sarmiento repeatedly denies remembering almost anything about her testimony to law enforcement, grand jury in 2012 and 2014 #SierraLaMar

#SierraLaMar DA David Boyd emphasizes that she told cops repeatedly he wasn't w her. She didn't provide him w/ an alibi til now.

...and then in a square & half-rolled them up. #SierraLaMar Now says he never did laundry or fold clothes.
tracey kaplan ‏@tkaplanreport 3m3 minutes ago
Sarmiento contradicts herself on important detail, how #SierraLaMar Def folds his clothes. Tod grand jury he folded pants in half...
tracey kaplan ‏@tkaplanreport 9m9 minutes ago
It's not a great alibi, but creates some possible doubt. Unclear how much weight any jurors will give to it, though. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan ‏@tkaplanreport 1m1 minute ago
DA: Did u make that up? I must have." This matters cuz #SierraLaMar clothes found faded up in her bag I field.
tracey kaplan ‏@tkaplanreport 2m2 minutes ago
Folded up in bag. #SierraLaMar

Lopez stumbles on cross: ex-gf says "WE" wd buy detergent & bleach. But then says she never used bleach in wash, nor did he. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan ‏@tkaplanreport 1m1 minute ago
Bleach matters cuz DA alleges he purchased bleach & turkey baster, supposedly to get rid of DNA. #SierraLaMar

On recross by Lopez, she says he wd not pick up stuff for the household for her. #SierraLaMar ex
tracey kaplan ‏@tkaplanreport 8m8 minutes ago
On redirect by DA, #SierraLaMar ex says he & she wd buy bleach/ detergent together, not him alone, as happened.
tracey kaplan ‏@tkaplanreport 1m1 minute ago
Whole idea here is to provide innocent explanation 4 baster, bleach. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan ‏@tkaplanreport 2m2 minutes ago
She remembers him smoking pot. Reason it matters? Because Lopez says Def used turkey baster 2 extract THC. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan ‏@tkaplanreport 1m1 minute ago
Now Lopez tries to get her to say def used marijuana wax (somewhat similar to hash oil). NO, she says. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan ‏@tkaplanreport 4m4 minutes ago
...that day because u had to work? #SierraLaMar ex: I don't remember that.
tracey kaplan ‏@tkaplanreport 5m5 minutes ago
#SierraLaMar Def picked her up at work at Chipotle abt 8 pm day after disappearance. Lopez: do u recall R. Garcia-Torres doing laundry ...
tracey kaplan ‏@tkaplanreport 8m8 minutes ago
#SierraLaMar'S ex says she, him, 2 friends had been planning to go on snowboarding trip that weekend.

Sure sounds like she was trying to cover up for him. I just hope that the jury feels the same way.

 

[Emi]

Last Thursday she lied twice on the stand

Why isn't anyone commenting on the lies Francine is making on the stand

I think juries take the testimony of wives/girlfriends with much doubt and hesitation.

Unclear what DA driving at, but it may be that Def was keenly aware #SierraLaMar coverage b4 he was interviewed.
Leon says #SierraLaMar disappearance remained "front-page news" for months
Leon describes how he identified Garcia-Torres as a suspect in 2009 Safeway attacks, defense interrupts to ask for sidebar #SierraLaMar

when she lies like this, changing testimony from years ago, it makes them question everything she says...

Agree with you, its making me question her testimony

Why don't we discuss this here

 

[SurfCity]

I don't get it. Her new testimony doesn't match with her original interview or with his own admission (fishing) that he wasn't there with her. In addition the video of him leaving and not coming back until much later doesn't match. How does she think she that this even makes sense?

 

[katydid23]

It could have been much worse. She could have very easily said that he often bought her laundry supplies for her. But she said NO, right?

And she could have said he smoked wax [THC] ---but she said NO to that too.

Leon remembered 2009 Safeway attacks after investigation into #SierraLaMar revealed Def worked at Safeway then.

Sgt Herman Leon is the hero deputy who recalled 2009 Safeway attacks in Morgan Hill while investigating #SierraLaMar case. Leon lived in MH.

Now it's getting interesting: Sgt Leon talking abt 2009 Safeway attacks Def is now charged with. #SierraLaMar

...the stun gun, Def might not have become a suspect. But after he was arrested in 2010 for fighting w a relative...#SierraLaMar...+
tracey kaplan ‏@tkaplanreport 3m3 minutes agoMy understanding is def's fingerprint not on file in 2009. So even if crime lab Bk in 2009 had analyzed ... #SierraLaMar

Leon says def's trailer was abt 7 miles from #SierraLaMar bus stop.
tracey kaplan ‏@tkaplanreport 6m6 minutes ago
None of that has come out yet in trial. It's my own analysis based on reading voluminous #SierraLaMar pretrial motions/verbal argument.
tracey kaplanVerified account‏@tkaplanreport 2m2 minutes ago
#SierraLaMar recesses for lunch. Resumes at 1:15 pm
tracey kaplanVerified account‏@tkaplanreport 2m2 minutes ago
By the way, hero Leon has 29 years on the job. Older employees matter! #SierraLaMar

Thank you so much for keeping us updated with the Twitter feeds.

You mentioned something to me in a DM on Facebook about AGT's girlfriend Francine lying on the stand.

Can you please explain?
