Hall: "She would be intrigued and want to look around and perhaps play some but she would not sit still to answer questions."

Samantha Manning ‏@SamanthaANjax 49s49 seconds ago
Hall says the child has told her at least "3-4 different versions of her recollection of this case."

I would love to know what the sister knows!

We need to hear her story about Ebron and MOM!

 

[tlcya]

That would be wonderful if we could hear from sissy. But it sounds like sissy is not capable

Wonder why?
She is 5. Does she go to school?

Defense presenting motions now.

Brittany Dionne ‏@BrittDionneTV 11s12 seconds ago
Defense does not want prosecution to refer to Ebrons apartment complex, Ravenswood Apt, as a "high crime area".

 

[PJFL]

Samantha Manning ‏@SamanthaANjax 43s44 seconds ago
Judge grants that motion. State says they had no intention of calling Ebron's neighborhood a high-crime area anyway @ActionNewsJax

Samantha Manning ‏@SamanthaANjax 1m1 minute ago
Defense says it's not fair to allow a JSO officer to classify Ebron's neighborhood as a high-crime area without stats, proof

 

[Eileen730]

See post 1021.

I read that but I'm wondering if she has ADD? Or lack of parental discipline?
Does she go to school?
How is she in school?

Say wont act appropriately????
I understand she has had a crapola life but I'm not sure she knows exactly what happened....
I do think she needs to tell if she saw something happen to her brother at the hands of Ebron or MOM,

I'm sure the truth will come out in bits and pieces.
Don't think it should be done in an open court room tho.

 

[Eileen730]

Whats the big deal about the apt being in a high crime area?

Bringing this statement up will make jury think Ebron is accused of hurting Lonzie, Boyle says.

Andrew Pantazi ‏@TU_Court 1m1 minute ago
This has no relation to the charges he faces, Boyle said, because Ebron isn't charged with inflicting injury to Lonzie.

Andrew Pantazi ‏@TU_Court 2m2 minutes ago
Fifth motion: Ebron apparently made a statement about understanding why someone might run a car into water.

Defense says the evidence has not relevance to the charges against Ebron.

Brittany Dionne ‏@BrittDionneTV 1m1 minute ago
Defense motion 3: deny use of items found inside Ebron's home with Lonzie's DNA on it.

Brittany Dionne ‏@BrittDionneTV 2m2 minutes ago
Defense motion 2: strike statements Ebron made to DCF. Judge holding statement, for now.

Brittany Dionne ‏@BrittDionneTV 4m4 minutes ago
Pros: Ebron's mom has been listed as a witness for both sides.

Brittany Dionne ‏@BrittDionneTV 6m6 minutes ago
Defense: difficulty will be getting jury to understand That Ebron is not charged with harming a child.

Defense atty keeps telling judge that many of these things will confuse jury since Ebron charged w/ neglect, no charges of injuring child.

 

[PJFL]

Chris Parenteau ‏@WJXTChris 4m4 minutes ago
Next motion is motion to keep out DNA evidence found in apt. Def says Ebron not charged w/ harming a child, so evidence not relevant to case

Ugh.

Judge: Assuming the state can present evidence saying the blood can be tied to him[Ebron], I do believe the evidence is potentially relevant

Andrew Pantazi ‏@TU_Court now44 seconds ago
Judge denies defense's sixth motion.

 

[MsMarple]

Andrew Pantazi ‏@TU_Court now29 seconds ago
Seventh motion is moot because it deals with counts 5-7.

I think that's the one about calling the piece of plastic a "key."

 

[MsMarple]

Motion to suppress evidence up now.

Andrew Pantazi ‏@TU_Court now13 seconds ago
This deals with whether the police improperly took Ebron's cell phone and searched it.
