Exactly.
AT didn't say he was star gazing THAT night, just that he had. To establish custom. Nothing creepy about driving around late at night.
The alibi she floated was: he was driving in Moscow, just not 'over there'. And his cellphone records would support that. I think she is trying to suggest he was in a different white car on the far side of Moscow and had no cell coverage. Unsupported by evidence so she represented to the judge that they didn't yet have all the evidence.
That alibi structure has been dismantled. Because the moment she mouthed it, the Prosecution refuted it.
Phone wasn't out of range. It was OFF.
State has enough images, grainy though they may be, to create a map, consistent with migration from Pullman to Moscow. She still will -- she'll ask the jury to wonder why they'd no video of the Elentra, here or there, as if somehow there's a way to interpret it, rising to a level of doubt.
Even her argument that the car was nosed away from Moscow fails the double park. The mystery 7 minutes or 5 or whatever, no mystery. I'm guessing BK left campus twice. Once, leaving away from Moscow before circling back. The judge himself asked her how it's significant (nosing out the other way) when it's a whole hour before the crimes.
What difference if he left to the west if he ultimately headed east before reaching 1122 King? The route isn't on trial. Even if the State doesn't have the route fully articulated, it doesn't mean he didn't get there.
Maybe BK will take the stand (doubt it) and sweatered ninjas will get another work out.
I can't see where she's going to be successful with either motion, SODDI or alibi. Instead I see the judge granting her SOME latitude on cross examination.
