The cameraman can't take any more?
Ok, my trial watcher gave me the update!
Here we go...
After lunch Mr Greer introduced the life like mannequin. It was wearing a long dark wig, and a long sleeved T-shirt dress.
The jury were shown again the hog tie, how the rope exactly matches the distance between hand and foot, and th position of her body on the grass...and it was very impactful.
But then, Mr Greer HUNG the mannequin, as was described by AS, but using the actual lengths of the rope.
There were many objections, and arguments - however, Mr Greer demonstrated the the height of the body from the ground and the length of the rope were accurate to the forensic and police measurements.
My trial watcher said everyone’s jaw hit the floor when they saw her hanging...as it was so very obvious she could be cut down by standing next to her body. The table story looked like...a complete fabrication....
I will post more....shortly just want you to get the basics..
Just my opinion....

Maybe. I don't know how it does though. I'm wondering if he put it there because she wasn't hanging straight, to make it look like she'd landed with her feet on it? But then chickened out of that in case they measured the rope length and she wouldn't have hung if the rope wasn't taut? I do think he panicked about having left her tied up overnight, from his questions to the detectives.To add to his fiction and enhance the story?
Actually, the Zahau family was not given evidence to prove DS was not involved until they received the videos from LE to prove her whereabouts, once they received the evidence they have been begging for years for, they did the honest thing and dropped her from the lawsuit. It proves that they aren't on a witch hunt to blame innocent people, they want the truth, and to prosecute the person who was involved. MOO
Webb gave the specific dates they were given the security video and when they dropped Dina from the lawsuit over a year later.
Why did Adam bring the 3-legged table over at all?
It isn't the Defense's job to convince the jury it was suicide or murder because that isn't part of the lawsuit. The jury will have clear instructions to focus only on the evidence they heard through testimony or from exhibits and determine whether AS has liability for RZ's death.
That’s true but they still would address it in some way. They can’t sit there and deny every shred of evidence without some counter to it. At this point though, who else could even be a remote possibility other than AS? A hitman? The defense’s job is to poke holes in the theories and evidence presented. To me, the best way to do that is to give the jurors a secondary thought of who else could correspond with the evidence presented. The defense doesn’t have to prove murder or suicide, but still need to counter with substance that plants doubt.
I can only go by Webb's closing and he said they were given the proof more than a year before they dropped Dina from the lawsuit.

NBC 7 Investigates obtained video from Attorney Keith Greer, who got it from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department after several years of trying he says. It shows Dina Shacknai was inside Rady Children's Hospital when Zahau died.
Attorney Greer says the video changed his mind about the death of Rebecca Zahau.
A Timeline of the Deaths at Spreckels Mansion
"Previously we had an eye witness who was adamant putting Dina at the scene of the murder,” Greer said.
Greer said it took him years to get the security camera footage from the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, which investigated Zahau's death, and called it a suicide.

I do think he panicked about having left her tied up overnight, from his questions to the detectives.
The lawsuit, formally amended in March, now alleges that Adam Shacknai alone beat Zahau unconscious, stripped off her clothes, bound her hands and feet, gagged her and hanged her from the balcony.
Greer said it was a long process to obtain evidence from the Sheriff’s Department and to depose key figures in the case. He got the Rady Children’s Hospital security video on 27 disks in September.

according to this, it was not a year, more like 6 months.
