A person found bludgeoned to death indicates a struggle, Hunter asks.

Lebid said yes it does.

JRR is treated like a civilized human being, but the wording and the thought that dear TS was "bludgeoned to death" by this man is a cold, hard fact. So horrible.

:blowskisses: Yes! Jurors always feel comfortable relying on physical evidence, particularly DNA. They may differ/question themselves on witness credibility but they will fall back and rely on physical evidence to support testimony.

So glad most people these days have passed the DNA learning curve. We've come along way thanks to Crime TV shows, lol. Remember the OJ trial? DNA was super confusing to the jurors, or they didn't want to believe it.

We are back from recess. Assistant State Attorney Hamid Hunter is asking the judge about bringing in certain witnesses to testify without the jury present first so there aren't as many breaks for objections during their testimony.

OMG! It's only 4:18.

It sounds like that's the plan for the rest of the day and the jury is being sent home for the day.

 

[Oregonmama]

OMG! It's only 4:18.

Only the jury is being sent home, the trial is still continuing on with out their presence this afternoon

The judge asks the jury to be back at 9 a.m. tomorrow instead of the usual 8:30 a.m.

The state says it had more witnesses ready to go today that would only take about 10 minutes each. Judge Kyle dismisses the jury for the day. The state continues its case tomorrow at 9 @winknews

The next witness is Laura Bland, who is a Circle K witness. A lot of this testimony will probably be repeated tomorrow in front on the jury.

I have pretty bad audio, I wasn't sure. I have my face stuck to the screen trying to hear.

Bland is being asked about the surveillance system at Circle K and how it is set and secured.

I'm going to leave the courtroom in a minute since I anticipate much of this testimony will be repeated tomorrow for the jury to hear and I have a deadline to meet.

Story wrapping up what has happened in the #RodgersTrial today coming soon.

Mine is still going.

Refresh the link. It should come back up. Law and crime video is up and running

 

[Curious Me]

Guess I'll check in tomorrow.

I did that several times, but it still just promises to be right back. I'm using Fox4. That's okay. They will probably repeat these issues tomorrow with the jury present. I appreciate all your hard work too.

RaceTrac employee on the stand.

 

[Oregonmama]

Loss prevention manager at Walmart on the stand. State is asking if there are store cameras, etc etc etc. They are asking questions if the recordings are secure and no tampering can occur. Witness stated that there is 24 hour video surveillance of the parking lot

Closing this thread until trial resumes tomorrow morning. Mosey on over to the Discussion thread.

Thank you @Oregonmama for all your work today! xo

Arachne....You may have just put all the pieces together, whether you know it or not, IMO!!! Maybe the 30 gallon trash bags were not only used in a purpose similar to the one you proposed, but also used to dispose of the bloody clothing JRR and CWW were wearing. Who was going to notice (or even care about) a couple of tourist dumping black garbage bags in dumpsters behind buildings along major thoroughfares as they headed North, out of town? When police first contacted JRR, it was noticed that he went into a panic (per TaySho) and started grabbing things to hide/dispose. I think JRR in his panic forgot he had already disposed of one/two? blue jumpsuits in the black garbage bags in Florida!
No way was that jumpsuit planted, by CWW as some have suggested. If he was going to plant evidence, he would have put a lot more of Teresa's hairs on it! (....ya' know what a planner/thinker he is) No way would he take the risk of the FBI finding the "one and only hair" found on the jump suit. I think the hair was a lucky find (passive transfer from another item).....not planted evidence. Ironically, it wasn't until nearly 6 months later when CWW confessed, anyone was able to confirm that blue jump suit/overalls were actually worn. JRR's "panicking" and grabbing the blue jumpsuit..... ended up "outing" his own murder outfit. (Just because he isn't the shiniest utensil in the drawer....doesn't make him any less deadly.)

Yes, IQ! Of course, you're right! "Interstate Dumping" would be the fastest way to get rid of the evidence! Think of all the convenient choices: highway rest areas, gas stations, WalMarts, or restaurants where JRR might or might not leave reviews! And why might JRR have been in a panic, after CWW's call, aside from the obvious? Company Theft. JRR wouldn't want to get popped for company theft, and get, yet, another "mark" on his record! Although, one of his bosses testified that it was no big deal--they all do it--taking home coveralls/jumpsuits to do yard work, paint jobs, (murder?), etc....How many jumpsuits go missing up there? How many people? Just a thought.
