Witness heard her scream. Necklace & earrings are ripped off during struggle. Lopez pushing it as possible attempt theft #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 41s41 seconds ago
She told grand jury he was 5 feet 6 inches to 5'10". ( I think Lopez is insinuating Def is taller). #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3m3 minutes ago
Walters tells him: "It shows I was indecisive." #SierraLaMar

tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 1h1 hour ago

Sgt says that Joe Martinez said he thought, oh damn, when saw Def pulled out the stun gun. Pulled it out to show off. SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 2h2 hours ago
Sheriff's Sgt. Herman Leon gets back on stand. Martinez definitely said it was stun gun, made noise like one. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 2h2 hours ago
Martinez is a nightmare for prosecution, going bk & forth abt what he thought object was. I'm getting seasick. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 2h2 hours ago
Lopez shows him a real stun gun. Martinez says it doesn't look like what he saw. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 2h2 hours ago
Lopez shows dog repeller, Martinez agrees it's similar. Lopez asks if he mixed up prongs with screws on object. answer: no. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 2h2 hours ago
He agrees that he assumed def's object was stun gun but didn't know. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 2h2 hours ago
In 2014 when testified b4 grand jury, he still worked at Safeway, so concerned abt reaction. Now, not. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 2h2 hours ago
On cross by Def lawyer Al Lopez, Martinez says Def had dogs who barked ( suggests object cd have been repeller) #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago
Prosecution suggesting that he eithercant remember or was convinced by defense investigator that it cd have been dog repeller. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago

tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago
Steve is computer engineer, mother Marlene LaMar is hand therapist. She has Mondays off to come to trial #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago
CORRECTION: father Steve LaMar didn't even know the gathering was fundraiser. $ is for searchers' food/drinks, not parents. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago
He also expressed concern in testimony to grand jury abt what people wd think abt testimony. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago
Hard to know if he exaggerated the story back then, or told truth then & cant remember. He admits he doesn't want to be here. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago
He told cops he said to Def, "Keep that away from me, I don't want to get Tased." #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago
Drawing had 2 metal prongs. But he continues to say he can't remember. "It was like 9 years ago," he says. #SierraLaMar

He drew small black box for officers in 2012. Looks like small black box. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago
But he told investigator he heard def's stun gun go off in 2008 & thought, "damn." #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago
He now thinks the object he saw cd have been a dog repeller, whatever that is. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago
Prosecutor Dana Veazey asks Martinez if he talked to defense investigator 2 months ago. Yes, person showed him dog repeller. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago
This is first time we've heard abt this. If true, it is fairly damning. But wit's dim memory cd be problematic for prosecution. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago
He told deputies Def showed it to him to show off. This was 8-9 years ago, so he can't remember. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago
But described it back then as "It was one of the big ones." Also that it had prongs. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago
The object was black, tiny, about 3 inches wide. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago
He previously said (def's friend) Maria Garcia was there in car, but now says it was just him & Def. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago

tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago
Martinez told cops in 2012 after #SierraLaMar that he wore black pants a lot. Safeway assailant wore blk pants, at least 1 witness said.
tracey kaplan‏Verified account@tkaplanreport 3h3 hours ago
Sometimes Def walked to work, when his car wasn't working, through dirt, Martinez cd tell cuz Shea's were dirty #SierraLaMar

Walters said she chased the assailant but videos don't reflect it. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account @tkaplanreport 9m9 minutes ago
Subject spent abt 8 seconds in back of Annette Walters' car, acceding to video. #SierraLaMar

The fuzzy subject in black clothes is seen going into victim's white SUV, then leaving it on the run. #SierraLaMar

Next clip: suspect is running. #SierraLaMar

In one video, all u see is indistinguishable man or woman walking west in lot, toward area of one of victims. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account @tkaplanreport 26m26 minutes ago
Video vet likely 2 be too dark to see anything much. But it makes the attacks more vivid, arouses jury fears of bogeyman. #SierraLaMar
tracey kaplan‏Verified account @tkaplanreport 28m28 minutes ago
PM session so far is housekeeping, taking care of details. A cop is testifying abt video footage of one of Safeway attacks #SierraLaMar

I'm not sure if the witness Joe Martinez is covering up for AGT or if he doesn't remember things well but he sure is all over the place with his testimony.... :notgood:

 

[Niner]

Thanks again for the tweets Emi! :wave:

Well, I got a Google Alert this morning, but it sure didn't have anything "new" in it that your tweets didn't have....

I really HATE this coverage....

and 5 years! ago Sierra disappeared!

:rose:

 

[OldSteve]

I don't know, seems like too much attention upon to the prior Safeway lot attacks.... diminishes what should be the primary focus of this trial - Sierras brutal murder..... just my opinion...

5 years ago....
