Not sure if this was streamed and you've all seen it but I didn't see the cameraman there for a part of the afternoon.
Everyone who is in the courtroom & wishes to recap for us, PLEASE DO! I can't watch the livestream & probably won't be able to watch much of the testimony on the website until the weekend. So, I still rely on summaries for an overview of the information. Plus, it's great to get the impression from people in the courtroom of how the room feels during some of this stuff. So, yes, yes, yes...appreciate the posts!!
The surprise for me - during the defense on the 911 call testimony - was that Adam not only got the knife to cut Rebecca down from the main house (which was unlocked early morning) but he also went through the main house through the front door (which was also unlocked early morning) to go back to the courtyard after retrieving the house address from the street side. What? The main house wasn't locked at any door?? That just doesn't make sense. I know Coronado is very safe but why wouldn't Rebecca lock the doors before retiring for the night. And, with that kind of reasoning, why didn't Nina or DS walk right in when they came by late at night?
He said in his polygraph interview: I ran around to the kitchen to get a knife "'Cuz it was open." He didn't say, I went to check if the house was open. That means he KNEW it was open. Rebecca's sister did say she left it open a lot because it was a safe area, still... yes, it was wide open & at least Adam knew. <modsnip>
Re: open doors--per police reports for the address, there was a burglar alarm. Don't know why they weren't in use. Another thing I've wondered about is whether it was Rebecca's idea to board the dog. They say she did call that first day, but still ... did someone put her up to it? Remember that Jonah had experience of HIS protective dog attacking Dina when she was angry. Maybe they didn't want a protective dog around when confronting Rebecca.
Best I can tell, Greer didn't ask about the discrepancy as to when Adam called 911, per his statement at the polygraph. To me, that was huge, because you have to know if you're on the phone running in to get a knife or if you did that first. His statement at poly was his did all that THEN called 911.
I believe there were a lot of discrepancies and issues with Adam & I am shocked, really, that Greer's direct was so short. I thought maybe he saved some of it for some sort of redirect, but sounds like Adam is done, gone. I'm very disappointed by that, though Greer is sharp & seems to know what he's doing (I hope!).
From testimony I saw: I noted that about Adam's arrest, he said he was stopped for right turn on red, but the matter for which he was arrested was never explained (something to do with insurance a year before -- what? An accident? Or? They don't just arrest you cuz your insurance lapsed). Then, when his attorney says ... what happened when he went to court, AS says..."It was taken care o... uh, it was summarily dismissed." So, yeah, pretty sure there's more to that, it's not an innocuous right on red, and pretty sure Jonah took care of it.
