I don't have time to discuss the full timeline which I've done in previous threads, but if the state shows he entered the trails at 1.30 then they are some way to proving that his 1.30-3.30 pm statement is more accurate than his 12.00-1.30 claim. This leads to an inference he is now lying.
The MS podcast argument was that this starts getting quite problematic for the defence as they have no way to produce a different timeline unless RA testifies.
Agree.
Just because I'm one of those 'show me' type people I would want examination of the CO statement and ensure that the court is clear that RAs original statement was more along the lines of 'yes I can confirm that I was on the trails starting at 1.30pm and I left approx 3.30pm' than say RA just agreeing with a CO statement saying 'so you were are on the trails between 1.30 and 3.30pm...'
That's also why I would like something that demonstrates RAs proximity to the point of kidnap rather than 'he hadn't left the trails yet'. Recognise that from what we've seen so far I'm unlikely to get that!
If RA can't show he was somewhere else at 2.15pm via some means then he is wide open to a less than definitive P timeline.
