Hlavaty still on stand for cross-exam by defense. Questioning details related to manner of death, timeline needed for asphyxiation, etc.

29sMalena Caruso
@MalenaWTOL
Cross examination asks HLAVARTY if there was any evidence found under the fingernails of the remains of #ChelseaBruck | she can not say


1mRay Kisonas
@RayKisonas
Dr. Hlavaty could not determine What caused the injuries to Chelsea's face and jaw

55sRay Kisonas
@RayKisonas
If the log fell on her jaw it could have caused broken bones but one blow from log did not cause all injuries

2mRay Kisonas
@RayKisonas
Dr. Hlavaty said the injuries were not caused by a fall or multiple Falls of logs

5sAlex Mester
@AlexMesterBlade
Questioned if fractures may have been caused by strike by closing vehicle door. Hlavaty indicates unlikely w/ #ChelseaBruck's fractures.

11sAlex Mester
@AlexMesterBlade
Back to questioning on erotic asphyxiation, purpose of the practice for heightened sexual pleasure.

2mAlex Mester
@AlexMesterBlade
Dr. Hlavaty is so far longest witness on the stand. Now redirect by prosecution with impact of intoxication on poss. strangulation.

1mMalena Caruso
@MalenaWTOL
Some energetic back & forth btwn defense & prosecution in the prosecution's redirect to witness M.E. HLAVARTY about Chelsea's cause of death

1mRay Kisonas
@RayKisonas
If the condition of the body was in better shape ME could have determined if she was strangled

48sRay Kisonas
@RayKisonas
Due to condition of body it could not have been determined if she died hypothetically of drowning or heart attack

1sRay Kisonas
@RayKisonas
Under several objections questions about various scenarios are offered such as bullet wounds

16sMalena Caruso
@MalenaWTOL
Prosecution asks to approach the bench with the defense as the back and forth continues.

8sAlex Mester
@AlexMesterBlade
Pros. running through other possible causes of death, poison, drowning, gunshot, etc., how Hlavaty would determine. Defense objects.

9sRay Kisonas
@RayKisonas
The judge stopped the line of questioning regarding hypothetical causes of death

Malena Caruso
@MalenaWTOL
Defense re-cross examines M.E. HLAVARTY - asphyxiation cannot be ruled out due to state of body when examined | prosecution asks final ?

16sAlex Mester
@AlexMesterBlade
After 1.5 hours on the stand. Hlavaty excused. Det. Sroka, lead officer on

Side note: I would pay good money for use of a table and a cushioned seat. Church pews + laptop on lap + 2.5 days of testimony = Ouchy back.

We're back. Pros. following up, issues w/ edited video result of some miscommunication between pros & defense. Had been meeting in chambers.

Alex Mester @AlexMesterBlade
Pros. will pause/skip portions of video to be excluded, supplemented by reading of video transcript. New file would take hours to make.

The detectives' strategy is clearly taking it slow with Clay and not revealing the information they already have . The video is hours long

Detectives ask how his DNA was found on her and Clay says he doesn't know. Clay then agrees to offer his DNA

Catching up with two other tweeters

Ray Kisonas@RayKisonas

In an agreement regarding the video of the interview , the transcripts are being read instead of a video being played

Once a disputed section of the video was read now jurors can watch the video of interview

Daniel Clay tells detectives that he might have seen Chelsea at the party : "I don't think I said a word to her."

Daniel Clay denies being at the industrial complex where the costume was found and said he never went down the dirt road off Briar hill

Daniel Clay: "I'm 99.9 % sure I've never talked to her in my life."

Jury begins watching & listening to portions of the interview #DanielClay gave to police after being taken into custody 7/16 @WTOL11Toledo

In interview: we hear Daniel Clay say he was talking to his "baby momma" at the Halloween party | says he was "mostly homeless" at the time

Daniel Clay | Says he didn't know Chelsea or know who she was at the party | only knew of Chelsea in news reports after she went messing

DanielClay says he has "lots of chicks" and only likes the "hot ones" & won't give a friend a ride home who's w/multiple women at party

DanielClay says he talked to "Jessica" his "baby momma" a couple times night of party | Jessica testified he did come up to her & Chelsea

It's a very disjointed interview with Daniel Clay. Very sporadic. I'm sorry for confusion.

Daniel Clay says in interview he's never been to area where the body of #ChelseaBruck was found. Says he's never really been to Flat Rock.

***note*** there are close to 40 people in the courtroom (outside of jury, lawyers, etc.) watching the interview. It is silent.

Daniel Clays says in video interview w/detectives he's never been to the rundown buildings where #ChelseaBruck's costume was found.

Daniel Clay says he did not "know" #ChelseaBruck expect "maybe" in passing at Olga's where Chelsea & and his ex Jessica both worked.

Daniel Clay says he "never had sex with Chelsea"Previous evidence & testimony linked DNA found on her costume to Daniel Clay @WTOL11Toledo

I'm video interview | detectives leave room | Clay remains seated wearing the "jail strip" clothes for nearly 5 minutes so far.

**I'm told this video alone has 2 more hours for jurors to watch | the prosecution will likely not call another witness today | back on Mon.

Detectives come back in room | Prosecution pauses video | reads transcript of video to omit portions defense wants to leave out

#DanielClay consents to give DNA sample to detectives in intv. Det. Sroka takes sample. Clay says his DNA already taken in a recent arrest

After giving buccal sample, Clay gives permission for Det. Sroka to look at his Facebook profile. Says he never talked to Chelsea on FB.

Detective tells Clay in interview they found his DNA on her costume. Asks if he had "physical contact" chelsea bruck | No, doesn't know how.

Detective tells #DanielClay he's the only one who knows how his DNA got on #ChelseaBruck | asks if he killed her | yes, no | says no to sex

Judge tell prosecution to pause video to give jury a break.


Court resumes: Daniel Clay repeatedly denies having sex with #ChelseaBruck in interview w/Det | Clay says I can get laid any time

Clay denies Chelsea being in his car | doesn't know how his DNA got on her costume | he didn't pick her up down the road from the party

Detective tells Clay this will be the only time Clay can talk to detectives to tell them the truth | must tell them how his DNA got on her

Detective tells Clay this will be the only time Clay can talk to detectives to tell them the truth | must tell them how his DNA got on her

Daniel Clay changes story | if he "was that *advertiser censored**ed up could have had sex" w/ #ChelseaBruck | doesn't remember having sex with #ChelseaBruck

In Intv. Clay admits to having sex w/ #ChelseaBruck in back of Ford Fusion | says never thought twice "who it was" when she goes missing

2mRay Kisonas
@RayKisonas

Detective Preadmore:"is there a possibility you had sex with her."Clay :"there is a possibility."

Clay in intv: says he had sex "w/a dark hair chick in the car he was driving" | but doesn't remember having sex w/a girl wearing leafs

During questioning Daniel Clay finally admits to having sex with Chelsea , "she got out and disappeared ."

@AlexMesterBlade


I'm back. Web story to be up soon. In video, Clay just said there is a "possibility" he had sex with #ChelseaBruck.

[a "possibility"? he doesn't know? Sheesh]

Video: Clay said he had sex with someone in a car, but doesn't think it was #ChelseaBruck. Can't remember who.

Family/friends of #ChelseaBruck still holding up well while video of Daniel Clay interview plays, now talking about having sex w/ Chelsea
 
I'm really curious as to what he will say for himself once called up. [emoji58]

I can't even imagine having a story that will explain away any of the testimonies we have heard. I wonder if his decision to take the stand is his own or if defense agrees with it. Maybe they will change their minds.
