I don't know if anyone posted this reporter's tweets on Friday afternoon. He captured some quotes that I didn't read elsewhere.

THREAD: In a pivotal moment in the #KaitlinArmstrong trial, famed cyclist Colin Strickland, who was with Moriah Wilson the night she died, has taken the stand.Follow his testimony here:
3:44 PM · Nov 3, 2023
Strickland said he and Armstrong had a pattern of breaking up and getting back together. She had moved in with him because of the winter storm of 2021. Their relationship remained tumultuous, he says.She lived in the house despite short periods of breaking up, Strickland says.
3:47 PM · Nov 3, 2023
Strickland describes his relationship with Armstrong. He relays a time when he told Armstrong about a young woman he saw in Colorado. Armstrong then sent Strickland a photograph of the woman that she had sent Strickland, with prosecutors raising that Armstrong accessed his phone.
3:54 PM · Nov 3, 2023
The visit to the woman in Colorado "was in no way romantic," but Strickland said he told Armstrong in an effort to be "transparent."
3:55 PM · Nov 3, 2023
In May 2022, Strickland says Armstrong had reached stability in their relationship. Strickland says he met Wilson at a 3-day gravel bicycle race in Idaho in September 2021 with several hundred people."She was obviously an immense talent," he says.
3:57 PM · Nov 3, 2023
In Bentonville, Ark., in January 2022, he went on a mountain bike ride causing friction in his relationship w/ Armstrong. He did not invite her to go on the ride "because she did not have the skill."Strickland says he had encouraged Armstrong to take up bike racing.
4:06 PM · Nov 3, 2023
"She was perturbed that I went on that ride with other female cyclists," Strickland says of Armstrong. The experience ended their relationship, he says. "It was extremely clear" they were no longer dating.
4:08 PM · Nov 3, 2023
At the end of October 2021, Strickland and Wilson went on dates while she was visiting friends in Austin, and at that time, he was broken up with Armstrong. At that point, the two became romantic, he says. Armstrong's possessions remained at his house.
4:12 PM · Nov 3, 2023
Strickland discusses the purchase of handguns at McBride's in Austin in December 2021. Armstrong was w/ him. Armstrong often expressed "paranoia" about being alone on a bike in the woods and after a road-rage incident. "It led us to a conclusion it would be reasonble," he says.
4:34 PM · Nov 3, 2023
Strickland says by the spring, he was clear with Armstrong that he was not in a romantic relationship with Wilson.
4:42 PM · Nov 3, 2023
Strickland confirms that he entered Wilson's name as "Christine Wall" in his cell phone "simply to avoid conflict with the defendant."
5:29 PM · Nov 3, 2023
Strickland said desired to see Wilson "in my home city" and finalized plans to meet the day of the murder over text. Wilson gave him address where she was staying. Strickland acknowledge he didn't tell Armstrong he planned to meet Wilson: "From past experience, I simply did not."
5:41 PM · Nov 3, 2023
During his interview with APD, Strickland is asked about a black Jeep. When he was told that a Jeep was right by where the murder happened, "It was very shocking information," he says.
6:13 PM · Nov 3, 2023
Strickland said he encouraged Armstrong to write down a timeline of where she was "so it could be explained.""I suggested that several times. I asked her, 'where were you and make a record of it.'" He asked her if she was at Wilson's apartment. She denied it.
