@vlwigg Interesting. I remember reading that he said no b/c he had meeting at Sprint 9/5 - maybe that's in next interview?

Photos don't show up well on overhead. They are being passed among jurors. Judge announces afternoon break when done with pics #arochitrial

@vlwigg We have better technology that this...don't you think?

I haven't followed this as closely as some of you and have a question.

Is the jury aware EA stole the Samsung phone from work, activated it, then wiped it before he returned it? Tia

I'v not seen any mention of the stolen phone

 

[Lolly85x]

One would think. This is more compelling to me than the DNA. IMO

I agree.
Why lie if there is nothing to hide?!

Judge: I could make an editorial comment that I think demonstration hurts prosecution more than defense #arochitrial

Minor4th, Quailfoot, SteveS - any speculation or analysis on this point?

I think the judge probably believes EA's own statements to police combined with the DNA evidence should be enough to convict.

So, maybe in the judge's mind, if the jury sees how small the trunk is:
-it could be more likely to sway a weak juror that she couldn't have fit in; or,
-given what is already known, it's just overkill that will confuse a weak juror further.

Other than that, don't know why he'd make that comment. Can't think of a specific legal reason it would hurt. But, could easily see a juror second guessing him or herself after seeing how small the trunk of the car is.

 

[alwaysonmymind]

For him to willingly go in for questioning like he did, not just once, he's either overly confident or ?

They could have read about it when it was first reported in MSM, it hasn't been mentioned during the trial as far as we know

*** I know the Def Attorney that Arron Lewis had/has is a private high dollar Attorney who does work for the State Public Defender Office and pd by them to represent AL. (his co-defendant and wife was rep by the Pulaski County Public Defender Office so would have been conflict of interest for them to rep him also) Unsure about this Def team, could be same if he is a high profile attorney JMHO



@vlwigg I forgot does EA have a public defender ? Free attorney.

Do they have the phone records for that phone? If it was on his same personal account (as the timeline link someone gave few days back it said was his personal account) I hope they do could help somehow. JMHO

I'd think they must have, his wiping of the phone itself wouldn't have wiped the phone company's data IMO

Thought it was established that EA's attorneys agreed to take the case without charging them. Can't remember where I read it.

Anyway, for them, it's gold, win or lose because it raises their profile in the criminal defense community/law school speaking circuit. Some of those guy guys make good money that way.

Hey...Robert Kardashian, F. Lee Bailey, and Johnnie Cochran lost many cases, probably more than they won. But, because they'd take higher profile cases, they became a go-to guys for media as well as higher profile defendants.

If the defense attorneys aren't charging the Arochi's a dime, they'll more than make up for it because the case does have a little notoriety to it that they can cash in on for years.
