9:12

DIRECT EXAMINATION BY DS:

CSI for OCSO. End of day report for 12/14 showed that ground vegetation had been cleared. She did not remove anything from the scene to take her photos of the remains.

PHOTO marked as Defense Exhibit 27. This photo appears to be the scene after the vegetation had been cleared.

Page 5 of her report - a log was located directly near the skull. During process of clearing and moving vegetation, the log was moved by S. Hansen and S. Mears on scene.

Next photo marked by clerk. She recognized it as an accurate representation of the scene after the remains were found.

OBJECTION BY JA as to when photo was taken.

This photo appeared to have been taken after hanging vegetation had been removed out of the way to no longer obstruct the view. Photo marked as Exhibit 28 and was published to the jury.

No further questions.

CROSS EXAMINATION BY JA:

Exhibit 27 - what portion of the scene is this? It appears to be a photo of the scene, but can't tell precisely without looking through the sequence of her photos.

No further questions.

REDIRECT BY DS:

How did you identify the grouping of photos? She took the photos and then uploaded them into the digital crime scene system and the system gives them a call ID number. She did not create the number, the system does. She has the numbers with her today. She does not have a call ID # 1838. She has 1840, 1842, 1845, 1849, 1893, 1903, 1913, 1919, 1923, 1934 and 2088.

No further questions.

Witness is excused at 9:31.

 

[momtective]

DS w/Jennifer Welch -

On 12/14/08 I made observations - cleared of leaf litter and vegetation ... and tree roots cleared 0-10 inches....

read last sentence of end of day observations - (see above) took photos @ scene when arrived - did you alter remains or anything touch remains....veg around the area was cleared - cut and clear away vines and roll them back.....

Photos are entered in data base under call ID numbers- call ID #1932 - she did not have a record of that....pics of scene after vegetation cleared...

show pic to JW - appears to be - photo represented vegetation had been cleared....it appears to be scene after vegetation cleared...

DS - in your report on pg 5...reference to log or tree near the remains what happened....log located directly near the skull during process of clearing - log was moved by Steven Hansen and susan M on scene...

DS another pic - to publish to witness - photo of leaf litter - from looking @ photo after vegetation had been moved away....no longer obstructing view....hanging vegetation? yes just moved it out of way - did not take it off the items....

admit into evidence - publish to jury.

DS that is all she has of this witness...

Cross - JA

republish pic - what portion of the scene this is? some object was found?

JW- does appear to be photo of scene = without going thru sequence of photos cannot tell where skull was....

redirect:
DS - how did you identify the photos?
Jw - don't understand question....

DS - series of photos -
JW = photos taken and when uploaded into system - call ID number is given - system created number - she has the numbers with her today....if she read them could she verify the number of photos but not which day....12/11 thru end of investigation.....#1838? no number....#1840......on and on

DS thank you..

witness excused subject to recall

 

[Turnadot]

Can someone explain what the point of this is? What did the defense prove right now?

Setting up for the botanist, IMO.

 

[Mz.Harleywood]

"Thank You Your Honor....that's all I have" LOL

 

[MissDiva]

Dr. Jane Bach (sp) up next.

 

[NavySubMom]

Is the DT up to something with these "Call numbers?"

 

[mysticrose]

I did not see the point in that testimony, anyone ?

 

[rwscull]

Can you guys remind me to make my twins lunch for work today around 11am? I forgot yesterday and poor things had to eat fast food. I was quite ashamed of myself but I blamed Jose.

OMG that's hilarious!!

 

[mitzi]

They should just reserve a chair in the witness waiting area and label it 'Ms.Welch'.

 

[Wagara]

Anyone have the radio link? TIA!

 

[Just K]

DT strategy is to ask questions about non-existent evidence thus letting the jury think someone lost something...it's really low down.

 

[Shyla]

Ann Finnell? She was away working on the penalty/mitigation phase....working very hard I suspect by the look of this trial....

Yes Finnell, LOL!! Thanks and yep she is burning the midnight oil I am sure.

 

[Liz]

Omg....THANK YOU JIM!!! Didn't want a TO! :great:

I KNOW! I had a post all typed up and and rethought it. Then Jim Lichtenstein tweeted and it helped a lot!

 

[Insomnia Momma]

I wish JA would have asked the reason they had to clear the scene that way since the answer to that is "to find all of the victims bones"

 

[PGWodehouse]

Wow. That was worthless. Poor Jennifer having to pop in and out of Court every two seconds.

That is EXACTLY what I was just thinking.
