Kapua, that road is "just that rough". You need good 4wd to navigate down there which might explain why SC only got so far.
Interesting, Nikki. I guess it's cool that he has another personality with some life to it. He's certainly not making this trial energetic. I think it would be exhausting to constantly rule on these objections though. How can a trial hold anyone's interest who is not deeply interested, when no one is allowed to get a story out.Cardoza appears exhausted and just bored with this case. When he presides over his drug cases, he's perky and upbeat, he even makes little jokes. He seems to really be invested in rehabilitating people and giving them second chances as far his drug offenders go.
Kapua, totally with your take. He hoped they would not say yes, and of course he offered so they wouldn't suspect him.Anything is possible. I don't think we have enough information to come to any firm conclusions - yet.
We don't know anything about the size or the condition of the brown pants and grey jacket (were there any bloodstains on these articles?), or if prints were recovered from the duct tape rolls, for example.
But my best guess is that his offer was insincere and he had counted on them to turn it down. It was dark and this was at least their 3rd trip to Hana. And if they had taken him up on his offer, I think he would have steered them away from the evidence. My rationale is that if he wanted to stage a crime scene, he would have picked a location that is easier to search/drive to. Phaedra's testimony is that even in Molly's truck they only made it halfway down. (Which makes me wonder if SC did anything to block the road - add a boulder or a fallen tree. Or maybe it was just that rough.) Apparently, you need a big, 4-wheel drive vehicle to drive all the way to the bay on that road. (Is there a second road? I have to check.)
On the other hand, SC did so many stupid things, I wouldn't put anything past him.
JMHO.
I agree. Reading Maui News' article from today http://mauinow.com/2016/07/14/capobianco-murder-trial-day-10-ping-app-points-to-paraquats/#slideshow really has me thinking. I admit that while I know a little bit more than the general public, I never had a clear understanding of the exact timeline. I never felt like it was my place to ask either.So no blood at the path location.
It doesn't seem like three days would give the elements enough time to wash that much blood completely away if she was killed there. Would it?
But the evidence found there contradicts that.
But then again very little of her was found there.
So very confusing.
Amen, Nikki. SC's choices blow my mind too.I agree.

CLOTHING: RDS and FTL always felt that the clothes were put on display. Even if thrown in a pile, they were put there to be found, not left behind in haste. If SC was seen driving up from that dirt path, alone in his Forerunner on TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 2016 in the afternoon, he had ample time to set up a crime scene.
MAGGOTS: The blanket and maggots were of great concern on this board because they seemed to indicate Charli was buried or hidden and then retrieved. I felt differently. I know maggots can develop within hours in an ideal environment. But considering Charli's tattered clothing was also found in this pile, I wonder if these items weren't kept in another location until he staged them on TUESDAY. Pretty bold of him to go back there.
Criminals ALWAYS return to the scene of the crime and this one was caught red-handed.
REMAINS: Were the remains scattered about as if tossed from a bag? Does the trajectory match? Were there any footprints? Her tongue ring was pretty far back in her mouth so where is the rest of her tongue?
LIFE360/PINGING: No matter what, Charli's phone did not return to service outside of Keanae. Det Loo also mentioned asking the phone company to ping her phone and he says he too was informed of the Keanae area. So let's assume Charli's iphone goes with her body over the side, near the drag marks on SUNDAY. It wasn't left with the clothing, otherwise it would have been found.
All of this bs because a baby was going to mess up his plan with Cassie. Cardoza, I know you read these boards and you've presided over some sick ***** in your career but please, for the sake of the unborn and the expectant mother, don't let this one slip through the justice system. Rivera, keep it up brother. We need to you nail this guy.

Amen, Nikki. SC's choices blow my mind too.
I Agree for sure about how fast maggots can appear. I have to take my fairly clean kitchen trash out no later than every other day. They will show up in coffee grounds, no flesh needed. The thing that got me theorizing was the bit about the cleaned jaw that was too quick for maggots above ground alone and the comment from the entomologist in front of the GJ. It appears that puzzle has been solved with the knife info.
Still, there's a mystery about it, very dark, evil. I pray someday he tells.
Pua, I missed the bit about the cleaned jaw, the comment from the entomologist, and the knife info. Can you repost?
I am intrigued by the "list of at least four people who are suspects that the defense previously hadn't known about" from Brooke's recorded interview. RDS mentioned a few days ago that there were four possible (alleged) accomplices, one deceased. I can understand how this would blow holes in the defense's assertion that MPD hadn't investigated anyone else. :doh: :giggle:
Again, the prosecution needs to get their ducks in a row. They have a very strong case, IMHO. They've solidly established the motive, and the defendant has acknowledged being the last person to see the victim, which establishes the opportunity. I hope they don't blow the case by being careless with the rules of procedure or whatever you call that in legalese.
I am looking forward to the rest of Phaedra's testimony this afternoon. I am interested to hear her perception of the placement of the clothing.
