DeCoste's questioning is focused on Luis Rivera's statement to law enforcement. For instance, when Rivera testifies he saw Wendi Adelson near Dan Markel's house. The judge is reading a stipulation of the Markel kids pick up and drop off schedule.

Markel dropped off and picked up his kids from preschool Monday morning through Wednesday morning. Wendi Adelson picked the kids up Wednesday and dropped them off Thursday morning. Dan Markel picked them up Thursday and had just dropped them off before his death.
"We have to take your word based on your memory because there's no recording?" DeCoste asks Sanford in regards to why his proffer with Luis Rivera wasn't recorded. Sanford says at the time, it wasn't policy to record proffer.
DeCoste is now talking about the cost of an undercover bump. Personnel, planes, safety means, etc.
Sanford says the reason they didn't make a copy or photo of the ransom note was because tpd and fbi couldn't agree on a number to wire and the undercover had to hurry out the door to meet donna adelson. DeCoste asks if he knows EXACTLY what was written on it.
"He tells you it was an owl, right? Not a lion." Sanford says Rivera told him he posted a picture of an owl on Instagram while in Tallahassee for the murder. DeCoste questions if there was ever a warrant sent to Facebook for Rivera's records.
"Is the reason why this was never requested is the deeper we dig into Rivera, the more inconsistencies we'll find?" Sanford answers "Absolutely not."
Defense just wrapped a lengthy cross examination. ASA Georgia Cappleman returns for redirect.
State attorneys have rested their case in the Katherine Magbanua retrial. Defense will start in the morning.
