He is just all over the place with his questions.

JMHO he is making some very valid points.

 

[heather.scissorhands]

I think I get his dumb Lucy reference. And his all over the place questions. He's trying to say that Stamm "dropped the ball." He's such a poet. :eyeroll:

With the lead detective yet to testify, it would appear the State's hope of resting by lunchtime is doubtful #arochitrial

Stamm has now been cross examined for more than 2-hours #arochitrial

**Current edit local trial time is 10:50 a.m.

JMHO he is making some very valid points.

Considering the issue I had with this case was a fear that LE didn't search more people's cars so and homes and seemed to zero in so fast on Arochi, yeah, he is.

With the Prosecutions case coming to a close, just looking for some feedback from all of you.

Does anyone else (other than me) feel really surprised that there hasn't been more evidence of his guilt presented? DNA, text messages, testimony, etc.? I honestly thought that they had much, much more up their sleeve and that it was going to be a slam-dunk no brainer to convict him.

I believe that E.A. is guilty, but will the jury based on what they have heard? Not looking to start a debate, just wanting to know if I am alone in what I am thinking?

Defense says Laterance Dunbar, who was subpoenaed as witness, can't be reached to testify. Court files writ against him #arochitrial

@vlwigg what will happen if he isn't a led to be reached in the end? Could there be any repercussions on his part?

Valerie Wigglesworth ‏@vlwigg 2h2 hours ago
.@XXXX Not sure repercussions. He was sworn in 1st day, left bad # for investigators. Any attorneys who can answer? #arochitrial

@vlwigg if who isn't able to be reached? If witness is sworn & does not show, court has remedies- called writ of attachment

@XXXX@vlwigg XXXX what would be the penalties involved. Witness in question is LaTerrance Dunbar whom the defense

I believe the evidence is a series of dots, not solid lines connecting EA to this crime. I worry that some on the jury will be unable to connect the dots. jmo

 

[arkansasmimi]

@vlwigg Have those pictures ever been shown to the public? Just curious.

[alwaysonmymind]

I hope there's some clarification on this storage locker on cross.

Prosecutor objects to defense exhibit as hearsay. Jury sent out. Judge now asking Stamm questions #arochitrial

 

[heather.scissorhands]

I keep questioning the definition of reasonable doubt. Do I have reason to believe EA isn't guilty?

I think he's guilty. I think. I still feel totally clueless on how it happened though.
