Prosecutor: Mr. Yeates, you've always been truthful about now knowing exactly what the defendant said, right? Yeates: Yes.
2m
Prosecutor Julie Tolle on redirect: "What did the defendant tell you that he did? "He told me that he killed her. He did not to my knowledge tell me anything specific."
2m
Yeates takeaway from the conversation with Yust: "Because of the problems he had between him and her, and that she wouldn't love him, that he had killed her," Yeates said.
((IMO this witness is a disaster. Why didn't the Pros warn him against saying it felt like a dream? Why would you cast doubt on your own testimony like that?? Because your buddy is sitting there glaring you down?))
The jury will right the coward’s wrong. He’s going to spend the rest of his life in prison.What a nightmare he's put so many people through... and yet here he goes again with this trial, cuz he just can't plead guilty even with mountains of evidence... he can't do a single damn thing right. just horrific

Amen. I think it's safe to say that today was not a good day for him and we haven't even gotten into Jessica's portion of the trial yet. They showed a quick snippet from inside the court room on the news here in Kansas tonight. He looked miserable.
Honestly, this is about as good as it gets for him from here on out.
Oh I did not know that there was audio & video of his "confession"! That is great.
And again @Vail - thank you for the posts! Much appreciated.
