Cell phone records prove Frazee was alone during killing, and Kenney was in Idaho, prosecutor says. #PatrickFrazee took #KelseyBerreth's phone and tried to make it seem like she fled Colorado.

Exactly. And it was important to point out where KK was at the time, as only she or PF can be the killer.

She wasn’t there.

- Jennifer Viehman took a big swing out of the gates with emotion, using surveillance stills to show Frazee around Berreth’s home, contradicting his story to police.
- State points out between 11/25-12/4, Frazee called Kenney 46 times. He never tried Berreth.

- Defense countered in saying the entire story told by the prosecution is polished & edited.
- Ashley Porter compared it to house shopping online. It may look nice from afar, but it has foundational issues.
- She points to Kenney as the biggest issue.

- As part of opening statements, Viehman showed photos of the blood spots left behind by Krystal Kenney. They are there, but as the defense points out, they are small.
- Other photos show clear streaks or wipe marks on the couch & TV in Berreth’s home.

Soft-spoken and matter of fact, Cheryl Berreth choked up just once – describing text message she sent to #PatrickFrazee on day authorities say daughter was killed.

“I said something along the lines of ‘Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you’re feeling better.'
“He said, 'Happy thanksgiving to you, too,'” Cheryl Berreth said, swallowing hard and dabbing at eyes with a tissue. #PatrickFrazee

OMG.

Trying to absorb this.

It's too gut-wrenching.

BBM, they can TRY to argue that. DA May will PROVE otherwise, IMO.

I was following the Dan Markel case, and someone kept saying that the prosecution didn't prove it. Proving it perhaps is an opinion, that something is 100%.

The court states that it is beyond A Reasonable Doubt that is the threshold. It does not require definitive proof. M o o.

To the layperson, they may misunderstand proof? So the prosecution at the very end will have to clearly clearly state such differentiation m o o

During that second forensic testing of the bathroom, they discovered KB's blood in multiple locations in the bath area as well as DNA from an unknown male.

^^ sbm

AND ALSO DNA FROM AN UNKNOWN FEMALE.

I wonder why that's always left out -- especially when it's in the very same report.

ETA: Not only the same document, the same sentence!

(Arrest Application, Attach A #28).

 

[dixiegirl1035]

Yeah. That’s a huge benefit of having a lot of people reporting. It’s also a bit of a downside, as someone is going to get it wrong from time to time.

We just need to focus on information that is consistently reported.

In the last two cases that I have followed, the reporters have been very receptive to folks tweeting them and asking them to clarify and or correcting oh, and they did! I think the public is getting better at challenging the media for clarification and sometimes correct in them. I wonder how many folks are from here that do that ;-)

My thoughts are with Cheryl. How hard that had to have been for her. Thank God Kelsey's family was persistent in checking her condo out thoroughly.

Much as I despise KK, I am so grateful she told her best friend what PF wanted to do, and then her best friend told her employers. Both got busted thankfully when the two lawyers spoke up- late, yes, but at least they came forward on their own, unlike KK...

Absolutely

I'm reminded of Dellen Millard's murder of Timothy Bosma. DM's uncle referred to him as a sick, twisted pr_ck.

DM meet PF. LWOP is too good for either of you.

KUSA Jennifer is live now fyi

Good point. iirc, there have been a couple of cases recently where the defense used a chart to explain the levels. It certainly worked in the Skylar Richardson defense.

An “inconvenient truth.”

If you can’t win with the facts, you have to omit, distract, cherry-pick, and misrepresent.

The repetition is actually most welcomed, Pommy!

The thread is moving so fast, I'm sure we're all missing a ton of posts...this way, if we don't see a feed the first time it's posted, we're at least bound to catch it by the 4th time!

I wasn't aware of that which is why I didn't mention it. No need for you to rudely shout.

I didn’t take Seattle’s post that way at all. I think he or she capitalized the one sentence there just to emphasize the importance. I don’t think he or she intended it negatively toward you.

As a parent imagining myself in CB’s shoes - I just can’t imagine how awful it was coming to that realization in her condo and then having to testify to it - she’s amazing IMO
