When was AF supposed to arrive? Is the theory that JLY thought AF would be there to find MY until that night... and when he found out AF wasn't going after all he suddenly printed out the ebay auctions to have as an excuse to send MF to the house?

who is Spivey?
The defense's case, last time, was very brief but very effective, however, they won't have the shock element of Jason taking the stand this time, if he should.
Not that it should have been a surprise the first time......the state knows there is always that chance, no matter how small.
If I were to bet right now, after seeing Jason's testimony today, I say he will not testify again......
JMO
unfortunately I didn't see the testimony of gracie and of course the defense hasn't called any witnesses yet to rebut. under the circumstances, having shown her the picture of JY (i think that's what happened) it seems to me would make a lineup using her as a witness worthless. i couldn't find anything immediately to say it would be ruled out on its face (just haven't found authority on point either way not much searching :-D), but practically it would seem to have little or no value.
What are the odds that Gracie not only ID'd JY from a picture but also was able to accurately ID his vehicle (type and color) AND has a receipt that corroborated what happened that morning? And no one prompted her or told her why.
I didn't consider her the most important witness, but the reaction to her is so extreme that I am rethinking this. If there is this much heat around Mrs. Calhoun...then I guess she is more important than I thought.
I wondered if the person that was flying in was from the hospital that Jason visited in Brevard ... so the prosecution may demonstrate that he didn't speak with the person he supposedly spoke with ... something like that ... but, in my opinion, that proves he may have fibbed on his expense reports. I see that as minor. Have you noticed any glaring contradictions yet?
The person who was flying in was the Hush Puppies exec from earlier today. The judge confirmed with HC that Spivey is their final witness.
Did everyone hear that HC said a definite to Spivey being the PT's last witness? I thought it was left sorta up in the air
Her memory issues didn't impact the incident that happened to her and she was able to relay it just fine 2 days after it happened. Without the vehicle ID and the receipt I would have discounted it. With those 2 items in addition to her IDing JY, I put her in the 'believability' column. Has nothing to do with 'wanting' to believe her or not. I found her testimony credible and I wanted corroborating info...and I got it.
It also works out in the timeline with no twisting needed at all.

otto, it is my understanding this was a cold call, unannounced, and the women he was wanting to see was in a meeting, so he left his card. These kind of calls are not unusual in his job. MOO
I don't know if it was broadcast online or not, but just before they brought in the jury from the lunch break the judge said something about Det. Spivey being the final witness for the PT and HC acknowledged that. The attorneys are not talking into microphones in the courtroom (just wired for the TV sound), so it's a little hard to hear things in there. I had just walked in the courtroom and was getting settled so it's possible I misunderstood something.

They may have since, but not in the first trial.
Here is the cigar!
Hey Coug.:seeya:
I think the defense wanted to speak with her first before they put her on the stand, if they do.
Sounds like the case is wrapping up faster than anticipated.
The first trial was a total of 11 days, we are on the 12th day of the Pros case now.
Agreed, this is more about her identifying JY in 2006 than it is today. I understand she is testifying in this current trial, but to me she is testifying to her identifying him in 2006. And as you mentioned, why would she make up the details to support her claim, suv, color and the receipt which allows for the correct timing of such an event. I find her information very believable.
