Because of the joint custody of the boys, Wendy communicated Dan's schedule thru, I assume Charlie, who in turn, mostly likely passed this on to Katie, and then to SG. In testimony, we see Rivera knows that they have to make the hit that day as Dan is scheduled to leave town later on what will be his last day on earth (Correction: I see in Wendy testimony it was the next day. Also I now see that KidonGadol has just said all this more elegantly in a later post; kudos to him). She is a coconspirator.
rgrene: Thank you for acknowledging my prev comment.
Just to clarify the dates -. The spooking of Wendi by the presence of the Prius was on Thurs 17th. Why would she be spooked ? CJA may have mentioned that Latinos were contracted to do the killing.
The shooting was on the morning of the 18th I recall about 10:50 am.
Dan did not die until early on the morning of the 19th. That's because of the angle of the second bullet. That is highly suggestive of tall man as the killer. There are all sorts of other reasons why S. Garcia has to be the killer.
I have a bit of the trial transcript where prosecutor Norris (not G Cappleman for a change ) is asking about phone calls during the 2019 trial . He establishes that KM did make a call to SG on the day (more precisely, the handsets communicated - he SHOULD have asked which one initiated the call) .
That's it, he does not ask about time , he does not ask where SG's handset was at the time. It is incredible that this point is not elaborated because it should show that SG was near a phone tower in Betton hills. Other tower records show L Rivera's handset was in the same area. All this is critical to backing up Rivera's story about the call.
