Why wasn't this witnessed prepped? She seems to not know a damn thing, and has to check her notes for everything. You would think she would maybe have reviewed just a little bit before coming to court.

I know all this has to be done to establish foundation, etc. but I've seen other trials where they go through the exhibits much more smoothly. I don't know if it's the fault of the DA or the court, but this is ridiculously painful.

Lally is not impressive in any way whatsoever. He is putting me to sleep too!

No court tomorrow again, back on Wednesday. Is there not an assistant that can help Lally out a bit? He is the most boring prosecutor ever.

 

[Derph]

This trial is a joke. Lally should cut his losses and just withdraw the case.

And another day off tomorrow?? I'd be EXTREMELY angered having my time wasted by being on this jury. At this rate It might be over by the Fall.

Doesn't it scream hair was planted on the suv before the witness examiner came to collect evidence>? Laying the glass pieces on the bumper? I felt like it was okayyyy then, no need to go further, obviously JO's hair was planted ON the SUV by the two that were in the Sallyport without the vid working at that time. Yes, jury, this is clearly a coverup. (might be me)
?

Testimony will resume Wednesday with forensic scientist Ashley Vallier back on the stand. I'll wrap up today's testimony at 5:30 and 6:30 on #Boston25

Weren't they original planning to go until 4:30 today? Thanks, ADA. moo

Whichever reporter spread this gossip of missing clothing items needs to reveal their source and offer mega mea culpas.

Every single real reporter as well as the for clicks social media true crime "reporters" as well as the people that ran with the missing sneaker and belt need to ask themselves why and then apologize to their followers. How can anything out of their mouth be taken as the truth?

 

[arielilane]

It is not unusual for the victims' family to build a connection with the state/prosecutors/the CW (only four states still use the CW), whatever, — as they are the ones seeking justice for their loved ones.

The prosecutor(s) spend time (months/years) with the victims' loved ones building trust and typically a friendship. In other words, the families will bond. They (families) are grateful for their (state) commitment to seek justice for their loved ones who other wise would not get the justice deserved.

Curious what JOK’s loved one are thinking about you know who? Yes, ADA's case hasn't been presented strong even and drags on. You dont want to lose your jurors' interest. Keep it moving. All speculation and a matter of opinion.

Jackson wonders how a tiny hair sitting on a vertical surface of karen read's bumper made the trip from canton to dighton, and back to Canton PD on a tow truck while not being "affixed" in any way with tape or glue

The little hair that could!
Yeah, I'm with Jackson, there's no way IMO.

Valliere, who seems somewhat nervous on the stand, and says 'um' a lot, identifies various pieces of tail light on which she performed "physical match analysis." Defense will note Proctor is listed as the trooper who collecte dthe evidence.

I think the dark grey material is masking the bloodstains. Either the color, or perhaps it's less absorbent than the light grey.

Even areas of heavy staining, like the left upper back show no blood in the dark grey sections.

I would like to see this hoodie from the inside out too.

Vaillier also examined this straw and three pieces of glass. (According to the prosecution theory, O'Keefe was holding a cocktail glass when he was hit.)

 

[arielilane]

@BienickWCVB

Correction: I wrote earlier she examined O'Keefe's clothing. Apparently, she examined the taillight pieces. (The court has added a/c units which makes it harder to hear.)

I hope when the verdict is read not guilty, it is not heard incorrectly as guilty due to the AC issues. moo

 

[nodamselindistress]

I feel like Lally had some momentum going this morning with the first witness and then he just bogged down the rest of the day. Someone needs to let him know he is losing the jury.

 

[housewife]

So all the blood collection was for naught. Hartnett only took swabs from a single cup and then they never even tested the swabs.

Huh.
Each day in court I'm STILL surprised by something.
