Ahh I get it, refusing to answer questions is different from just babbling your head off! Thanks! I kept thinking I was missing something.

The post I quoted was not tweets, but a copy paste from a whole article. But whatever, I was just trying to be helpful. Just as you were in posting it. Carry on.They were tweets. I know the 10% rule and I provided 2 sources.
One thing I do not foresee happening is Kilgore chewing up Stoddard. He may try but Stoddard is not easily shaken. He will hold his own.

Boring introduces two additional evidence exhibits, and he and defense attorney Maddox Kilgore have a lengthy conversation about what they are and presumably whether they are admissible.
The first exhibit turns out to be a copy of a Google results page in response to the query "what is prison really like?" One of the results is "how to survive in federal prison," Stoddard testifies.
Kilgore establishes that Stoddard performed the Google search in the past week and that the results page he generated may bear no resemblance to the page that a search more than two years ago would have generated. He then points out that the article in question has no date, but Judge Mary Staley Clark overrules him
It doesn't matter what the results were. What matters is the search term. I can see why he was overruled.
I can't imagine who Ross would call that would help him in his defense?
I keep seeing posts about Ross's statements regarding not leaving his wife because of Cooper... To me this is the opposite of a motove and certainly not a negative thing. He didn't want the child to come from a broken home so he was willing to work through his unhappiness out of love for his son. I would say that statement is one of a redeeming nature for this mess of a man. There is not one person who has come forward that knew him prior and had one negative thing to say about him. Usually every Tom, Dick and Harry is battling for an interview or to make a statement. No way that no one picked up on the so called charade of him being a loving father. That is far fetched IMO. As far as no one supporting him in court. How do we know that for sure? Maybe it is at his request. Not his finest moment and that aside the ME report and photos of Cooper may have been a lot . One never knows. Maybe they will come for the defense's case. Can anyone point to an article or interview from a family member condemning him? I just started back into this at the start of the trial so I apologize if I'm wrong.
He may hold his own but I have been paying attention to testimony from other Hearings and Testimony and that is what I am referring to. He was tasked at organization in this case. Lead Detective and yet at every Hearing he was unaware of multiple things. Right off the bat he had to introduce 2nd copies of the CF receipts that were lost and he had to get copies again, April 2016. He testified that he figured out the error in Escamillo report of the transposed number. I do not believe that . Because Kilgore made him aware of it on the stand (Det Escamillo) Had Stoddard found the error as he testified, he would have had Escamillo amend his report to reflect that long ago. He also would have known long before a year after that Lt Ferrell had not written his report before a year later. He would have known that Grimstead left the car seat in the SUV on 7/2/2014, because he along with Mr. Dustin did scans of that SUV the very day. He is the Lead Investigator. So far, he has given incorrect answers than Boring was wanting a couple times and Boring in his leading of the witness, and allowed by the Judge, give changed his testimony. I personally think it will be a very interesting Cross. JMHO
No, it's a completely different charge.
Malice murder: The state is alleging that Ross purposely planned and deliberately killed Cooper by leaving him to die in a hot car. This charge is the one that the state has mostly been focusing on, trying to prove that Ross didn't want his child any more because he just wanted to sext and go to movies with is friends, and his wife didn't have sex with him. IMO, as I'm sure you've figured out, the State has done a lousy job of providing compelling evidence of a motive or any evidence that Ross purposely killed his child.
Felony murder: Felony murder is when a death occurs during the commission of a felony that is inherently dangerous to human life and carries a reasonably foreseeable risk of death. In this case, the underlying felony the state is alleging is child cruelty in the 2nd degree. 2nd degree child cruelty is causing excessive physical pain to a child through criminal negligence. Criminal negligence is conduct that is undertaken despite a reasonably foreseeable risk of death - it is not just an accident or mistake. It requires purposeful conduct that exposes a person to the risk of death, even if death is not intended. An example would be purposefully leaving a child in a hot car for hours, knowing it's dangerous to the child and that it could kill him, even if there is no specific intent to kill the child; or leaving a loaded gun within a toddler's reach without supervision, and the toddler gets the gun and shoots himself.
I did some research on Georgia law on these issues. A couple of examples of criminal negligence felonies that formed the predicate for felony murder convictions are:
1) A father was a drug dealer and kept his cocaine stash in an arm rest of the sofa. The father conducted his drug deals within view of his toddler daughter on a daily basis, and the stash was where the toddler could get it. The child got the cocaine, ingested it and died. The father was charged with felony murder based on 2nd degree child cruelty - doing drug deals in front of his toddler and leaving the drugs where the child could access them was criminally negligent conduct because it was inherently dangerous to the toddler and created a known risk of death.
2) A mother slid her baby down a stair banister, resulting the infant falling 5 feet to the ground. There was also evidence that the mother shook the baby to supposedly try to revive her. There was also evidence of a history of past physical abuse of the child. The jury found her actions were criminally negligent (whether the child died because of the fall or from being shaken) and found her guilty of child cruelty/felony murder.
3) There are a whole bunch of cases about felons in possession of firearms who accidentally shot someone (while hunting or cleaning a gun). In one supreme court case, the court found that being a felon in possession of a firearm is not itself inherently dangerous and was not a felony that could support a felony murder conviction. In other cases, the court found that the particular circumstances of the way a felon was using a firearm (carelessly or recklessly) made it a dangerous felony that could be the basis for a felony murder conviction.
In this case, the state has in no way made it clear what they believe the criminally negligent conduct was that would support a 2nd degree child cruelty conviction and felony murder conviction.
cross should be good and is anyone else READY FOR CROSS?? This direct is way too long and boring !! There is something to be said for hitting a point hard but I think this is just too much...way too much and the cross will now be just as long. Sorry but atty Boring is boring!! He sort of lulls you into a place and I think is not that effective.
it's too much because there is so much evidence against him. We are not dealing with a guy who was unfaithful to his wife with ONE person, this guy had almost a dozen young ladies, some brought in for examinations, others they just have his tweets and stuff. For someone who worked in IT, I'm surprised he didn't delete half this stuff. And if Leanna wanted a divorce at any time, all she had to do is take his phone to a divorce attorney and download it.
here is the link to the youtube stream of the proceedings today from the wonderful Fox 5 Atlanta. It's the best live streaming out there, no buffering, no delays:

Also, I will again pull tweets from these two MSM news outlets once coverage begins this morning:
