Everything I found out was in the minutes and the hearings posted on youtube. I watched Nurmi questioning Chris Hughes on the stand in the hearing on Day 10 of the trial. Also Sky Hughes testified on day 19. The minute entries are very interesting, because so many of them tell about JA filing her own in handwritten form. This woman has learned a lot in jail and when she goes to prison she will continue to file motions because they can't stop her. She is loading up the court with frivolous paper work.
I think the best witness that testified for the State was Abe A. Nurmi questioned him on the phone on Day 10 and Abe, in a respectful FIRM AUTHORTIVE way put the fat man in his place. I laughed at the end when Abe said did you hear what I said, I am on the phone and can't tell. Nurmi, answered in a belligerent way, "yes I heard you. In one of the video's on You Tube you can see JM slightly smile. Then when Abe was on the stand in the re-trial he did excellent and didn't let the DT put words in his mouth and came across as HONEST, which the DT don't like because their client is such a liar.(there are several videos of Chris testifying, one I found on an HLN site in their archives)
In one of the earlier motions, V. Washington tried to get the fact that JA lied precluded from the trial. She didn't want the state to claim JA was a liar. I could not believe it. The Court said they would take it under advisement. I was floored. But sometime later they ruled that if she lied the State could say she lied.
On 5/24/2011 Defense demanded any and all notes in the matter of the attempted interrogation of Matt McMcartney. Somehow Det EF also tried to interrogate Matt McMartney because the court ordered EF to turn over notes in a timely manner. Later in the Minute Entries, EF said he didn't take any notes. I love this detective. Defense obviously wanted to know what Matt said to make his run like a rabbit.
We need to see what happened in the ex parte meetings JSS kept letting the defense have that eliminated the PT and the Victims. Only JA and her team and sometimes just JA. I thought that was illegal and could compromise the judge. Those hearings are where a lot happened and some of them are on YouTube, but many are sealed. I think the DT started having the hearings sealed when they found out so many were getting on YouTube.
