I tweeted Evan Millward asking why attendance is so low at this trial. Below is his response:

This is a very remote area. It's not convenient for people not related to the case to make it there.

What would be his motivation except for obeying momma?

Thanks for asking the question. Interesting answer.

I like Agent Fortner, too. He's very affable, but also very smart. I think juries like him because he's an expert but also comes off as a regular guy you could have a beer with. Actually, both BCI guys have been great. I recall watching them all walking around the property the day of the murders. They were all wearing those suits.

The BCI Agents did and are doing a great job. They will not be talked into agreeing with anything they do not agree with…

PIKE COUNTY TRIAL: Here's a closer look at overlapping impressions White says they found in the entry area. Some are boots first responders would wear but he noticed something unique.



White is explaining using a gel lift to get footwear impressions. Compares it to lifting a fingerprint.



White shows the evidence bags holding Chris Rhoden Jr's comforter. He was wrapped in it, asleep, when he was shot and killed.



On the comforter from Dana Rhoden's bed, prosecutor Canepa says the BCI lab found insufficient DNA for comparison

White collected two pillows from Dana's bed.
The one covering her head had "a complex mixture of DNA not suitable for DNA comparison."
The one beside her was not submitted.

White says he also collected a phone cord from Chris Jr's bedroom - wanted to check for touch DNA in case suspects took a phone off it.

Stipulation as fact that phone cord was swabbed for DNA - had Chris Rhoden Jr's DNA



Court is taking a 10 minute break

Seriously? Maybe remote for Cinci-based Evan, but Waverly is just as 'remote' as all the other little towns in the area. So people curious about the trial from Chillicothe, Jackson, or Piketon (just down the road) can easily drive there. My guess is that people are working and can't take time off to attend (other than immediate family members).

Long 10 minutes. I hope juror is ok.

Wonder how many keys were on CR's key chain. try all of them at that front door until you find the right one? maybe it was marked to what home it went to.

Good question because Dana, according to AC via JW proffer, was still awake.

 

[sunshineray]

Imagine the shoe burning party ... "Doofus, you stepped in blood!" Panic. "Yeah but we're burning the shoes!"

Odd random thought ... moo ... Does George have Stockholm syndrome?

My opinion, I don't think so...what they all have is a over-the-top pack mentality...a rabid pack.

I also think that the two confessions suggest to people that George IV and Billy are going down, too, so it's not as suspenseful as it would have been had Jake been put on trial, for example. Now for those of us interested in how and why and the forensics, this trial is must-see.

What's up? Why are they dismissing court today. Judge D says they will resume tomorrow morning.

Is this more drama from GW4's defense team?

Wonder if it has to do with the lawsuit just filed against Deering. ???

Judge might have been served his papers regarding The Guardian suing him.

I bet it has everything to do with ending court for the day.
"The Clerk of Courts issued an order to the Pike County Sheriff to serve the judge with a copy of the complaint. The petition is “an alternative writ,” which means it’s essentially a request for an emergency restraining order to stop the judge from suppressing the media.".
That is from the article above.

All I see is a motion listed on the Court's docket.

Good.

I don’t believe its a good thing . Deering can close it down to all media if he chooses to.

Not good. We might end up not seeing the rest of the trail.imo
