LOL, true
I will admit it. Iām worried.
But if NewsNation is correct, this part of their piece makes me feel a little more optimistic.
āWith the brief filed, the appeal court will now examine these arguments, which failed to find footing with the trial court. If swayed by the arguments, the juryās murder convictions could be overturned. But that would mean the appeal court going against both the juryās decision and Gullās decisions ā an outcome that seems unlikely as less than 5% of convictions are reversed on direct appeal.ā
Ignore anything on CourtTV which has to do with this case. Theyāre only interested in stirring up controversy where there is none or shouldnāt be any.OMG you guys - I was flippin' channels and landed on some CourtTV show called from Victim to Verdict that was about Delphi. What in the defense propaganda did I just watch?? I could only stomach a few minutes of some weird dude saying that since there was no DNA obviously there was reasonable doubt everywhere and maybe one of Ricky's defense attorneys before I had to change channels.
I came here to vent about it and then see that the Appeal was filed and the insanity goes on and on and on...
I'm tired, boss. When can we let these poor girls and their families just rest in peace? Why isn't this over yet? UGHHHHH!
Nothing burger with runes on top.I am not worried for a success from the perpetrator. Looks like a nothing burger.
Sir, donāt forget your spork.Nothing burger with runes on top.
Context matters - regarding BB - the following context is missing from the brief.
BB is an older lady.
(Age: 59 at the time of the crime.)
BB wears contact lenses for her eyesight.
Ms. Diener - "And how was your vision back in 2017? Did you have corrective lenses or anything like that?"
BB - "I wear contact lenses and I have them on all the time."
BB saw the man on the bridge and the car in the CPS lot for just a moment in time when she didn't know that what she was seeing would later be significant.
Regarding the man - "Bridge Guy"
As to whether BB was able to see the man's face clearly she testified, "not super clear, because he was about 50 feet away."
"He was out on the bridge on one of the little platforms on the side of the bridge."
BB - "I immediately knew when I saw that photo (Libby's video image) that that was the guy I had seen on the bridge."
Ms. Diener - "And was that within days of this event happening?"
BB - "Yes. It was the same week."
Ms. Diener - "Before Law Enforcement ever spoke to you?"
BB - "Yes."
Libby's video image was released on February 15, 2017. BB helped create a sketch for LE on February 17, 2017.
BB - "When I was asked how old he was, I said 20s or 30s."
Mr. Baldwin - "And you also said that he had brown, poufy hair; is that correct?"
BB - "I described that to the person making the sketch."
BB - "When I was making that description, it was comparing two different sketches, two different images."
BB brought up the sketches on more than one occasion on the stand. Wouldn't that be opening the door to let them in? The Defense never said anything when BB mentioned them on the stand though.
Mr. Baldwin - "He was of average height; correct?"
BB - "That was my best guess."
Mr. Baldwin - "He wasn't short?"
BB - "Didn't seem like it."
Mr. Baldwin - "He had no facial hair?"
BB - "I didn't see any."
Mr. Baldwin - "He was not wearing a hat that you saw?"
BB - "I didn't see one."
Jury Question - "You stated the man on the bridge had brown, poufy hair. Could you have mistaken the hat on the man in the photo as hair due to your distance from him?"
BB - "I could have."
In March 7, 2019
Andrew Baldwin - "You told the police that he was more boyish looking; is that correct?"
BB - "Yes."
Andrew Baldwin - "Thank you. And then, you also said at another point in time he was youthful in appearance - in his appearance."
BB - "Yes."
BB - "I have consistently recognized him as the guy in the photo."
Regarding the vehicle - at the CPS lot.
When questioned what she told LE on February 17, 2017 BB confirmed that she told LE that she noticed the car because it was closer to the building, backed in slightly at an angle, that she found it kind of odd that they would park there, that it was not a bright color, nondescript sedan, not new, not shiny, and nothing really stood out.
BB testified that she saw one vehicle in the CPS lot. She remembered it because "it was not parked how other people park when they go to the trail to walk, it was parked near the empty building and it was turned around so that the front was towards the county road and the back was towards the new highway."
"I don't really remember the color, but I remember talking about what it wasn't, which it wasn't a bright color, I believe I said it wasn't red, it wasn't yellow, but I didn't really know what color it was."
"I did not see the back of the car, I saw the side of it, but it looked like a four-door sedan to me at the time."
"It looked to me like it had sharp angles. It was a - looked like a four-door sedan."
BB confirmed that she was interviewed multiple times and was asked to provide additional details.
"After I thought about it later, it reminded me of a car that my father had had years ago that was a 1965 Ford Comet."
Ms. Diener - "And after some discovery, did I again contact you to tell you that another witness said they saw an older-model vehicle pulled off the road between the corner, the sharp left-hand turn, and the CPS building; do you recall that?"
BB - "Yes."
Ms. Diener - "And I told you it was an older-model vehicle that might be similar to the one you described?"
Mr. Baldwin - Objects
Gull - Overruled
Ms. Diener - "Mrs. Blair, I asked you if it would change your recollection about the vehicle that you saw; is that correct?
BB - "You did."
Ms. Diener - "And did it have any impact on your memory of what happened on February 13 of 2017?"
BB - "I feel certain that that's the shape of the car I saw at the time."
The older-model vehicle Ms. Deiner asked BB about is a vehicle that a man Mr. Heath (Age: Early 60's at the time of the crime) says he saw that day parked between the CPS building and where it starts to curve. He said he saw it in the morning of February 13th at 8:45 a.m. and in the afternoon between 1:43 and 2:06 p.m.
He described it as an older-model vehicle "looked like it was maybe dark-blue faded, it just looked out of place for somebody to park there." He testified that when he recently seen the movie, "The Fugitive", he thought the police car Tommy Lee Jones was driving was pretty close to it. "I always thought it was a late-80's or early-90's. I'm not a car person." "It was a four-door, older vehicle and it just - blocky looking." He clarified that the vehicle was not parked at the CPS building.
On April 2, 2019 (Two years later)
BB said the car could not have been black.
BB drew an outline of the car for LE of the car she says she saw.
It appears that BB's description of the vehicle she saw changed after she was asked about another vehicle.
Two different men saw a car parked at the CPS building before and after BB saw the vehicle she saw at 2:18 p.m.
The man who saw it at 2:10 p.m. described it as a Purple PT Cruiser and he drew a diagram that matched BB description of how it was parked and the general area of where it was parked.

O/T but to all my friends here on WS:
On January 12th 2026 I will be a witness first time in my life. OMG, I don't want to think about it now. Last February a thief stole my purse out of my bag in a supermarket. I didn't know, I was robbed, until I got to the checkout and missed my purse, went home to search my purse at home, didn't find it, and only then I comprehended the possible theft.
I'm nervous to be a witness, because I consciously didn't see anything (as the police is knowing by my statement/report). Though when I comprehended the theft, I had a suspicion, it may have been a woman, who behaved somewhat strangely in the supermarket, near myself (I also told police). Now it turned out, the accused is a MAN.
So, I saw nothing, afterwards had a suspicion, and now I am a witness in front of a lay judge court.
The man is charged with aggravated theft; my case is attached to another unknown case.
Google:
A lay judge panel is a panel of judges at the German local court for criminal proceedings, consisting of one professional judge and two lay judges (the lay assessors), and is responsible for cases where a prison sentence of two to four years is expected.
WS taught me, that I'm an old woman, who's statement isn't useful at all and one hasn't to believe, what I'm saying. If you are already slightly unbelievable at the age of 59 .......
BB is an older lady.
(Age: 59 at the time of the crime.)
RA's presence on the bridge -- where mostly the young dare each other to go -- and a hat which gave the appearance of a lot of hair, I can see why she'd think he was younger vs older.
All the witnesses that day, none of whom expected to BE witnesses did an amazing job recalling enough detail to convict RA, especially Libby and Abby, in recording the act, time, place and agent of their abduction while keeping that evidence hidden from him, even.
JMO


Thank you! Btw, he didn't only steal my purse, but also EUR 1285 from my bank account.I am so sorry to hear that happened to you. I hope everything goes well for you.
As far as the age thing? I am 45 so I'm not that far off from you. I only listed BB's age because it should be taken into account when she is describing BG's age.
Yes and they did the same thing with the Kohberger case. They seemed to side with the defense and often trotted out the defense arguments, like that 'touch' DNA on the sheath was not very incriminating, etc. etc...Ignore anything on CourtTV which has to do with this case. Theyāre only interested in stirring up controversy where there is none or shouldnāt be any.
MOO
Stirring the pot gets views, etc., & that evidently writes the checks these days.Yes and they did the same thing with the Kohberger case. They seemed to side with the defense and often trotted out the defense arguments, like that 'touch' DNA on the sheath was not very incriminating, etc. etc...
