[CarolinaMoon]

Thank you, geevee, for keeping up with whatever coverage emerges from the trial. You have the patience of a saint while waiting.

Hopefully, today will find us with more tweeters since JA is done, done, done.

For geevee: :goldcrown:

Back in court this morning waiting for the #JericeHunter trial to begin. Before that, a hearing w/ Judge Mrzo on a brutal child death.

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 17m17 minutes ago
James Edwards, accused with his girlfriend of killing her 4yo daughter in such a brutal way doctors described it as torture.

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 13m13 minutes ago
I believe this morning we'll hear more about the defense wanting to impeach Andrea Thomas. #JericeHunter

 

[geevee]

YW Myvice and CM, since the defense wants to impeach Drea's testimony, today may be filled with sidebars and arguments, guess we'll have to wait and see how it unfolds (I can't use the term 'plays out', it just rubs me the wrong way, esp. in areas of such gravity as courtroom proceedings/trials, guess I'm just weird that way lol).

Myvice - I think you're copying the section below the tweet, try not to color that lower bar that has the 'retweet', etc. underneath the tweet text but good job on getting the copy/paste down.

I'm so frustrated with myself. My daughter is here in about 2 months. Hopefully, this old dog can still learn some new tricks then, LOL.

Waiting on all of the jurors to arrive. #jericehunter

 

[geevee]

Sometimes a visual helps - only color what I show in blue, takes just a little finesse but once you get it, you've got it for good.

Prosecutor talking about Thomas and the suitcase now. #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 2m2 minutes ago
Prosecutor says her police interview is not inconsistent with her testimony, which defense claims. #jericehunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 2m2 minutes ago
Judge says she will review over the lunch hour. #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 1m1 minute ago
Judge says "I saw the email about the officer." Defense asks for sidebar. Hmmmm

State calls Dan Marina, criminalist with DPS crime lab. #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 32s33 seconds ago
He works in the DNA unit. #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 12s12 seconds ago
This could be the witness to testify about who the DNA on that closet carpet belonged to. #JericeHunter

Finally!

 

[geevee]

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 2m2 minutes ago
He does 1000s of DNA analyses every year. #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 8s8 seconds ago
Yup, testifying about DNA analysis done on carpet. #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 10s10 seconds ago
Prosecutor puts photo of the carpet on the projector. Tested two stains on the top and then that big stain on the bottom. #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 23s24 seconds ago
Merena says there was enough DNA for him to develop a full profile from each of the three cuttings. #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 12s13 seconds ago
Merena says he compared the profile of the two stains on the top, they were "essentially identical." #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 9s9 seconds ago
Merena says he compared that profile to the stain on the back. Says they were the same. #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 12s13 seconds ago
Merena using a lot of technical language, I don't get it so I'm guessing the jurors don't either. #JericeHunter

 

[geevee]

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 8s9 seconds ago
Merena says he ultimately compared DNA profile from 3 carpet cuttings to DNA profiles from Jhessye's dad, sisters and #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 15s16 seconds ago
Prosecutor bringing out some big spread sheets now, lots of numbers. #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 24s24 seconds ago
Spreadsheets contain results Merena got from the carpet. #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 1m1 minute ago
Gallagher puts the spreadsheets up on the easel, gives copies to the jurors. Way too far away for me to read it. #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 58s59 seconds ago
This is big deal testimony here folks. #JericeHunter

(BBM)

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 31s32 seconds ago
Merena using the big spreadsheet to explain right now. #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 18s18 seconds ago
Merena spitting out a lot of numbers right now...we all just want to hear if the DNA is a match for Jhessye or not. #JericeHunter

 

[geevee]

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 16s16 seconds ago
When compared stain to #JericeHunter, Jhessye's dad and the girls it did not match their unique profiles.

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 15s15 seconds ago
Merena says he was able to determine the donor of the blood stain was from a child of Jhessye's mom and dad. #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 10s11 seconds ago
If DNA didn't match any other kids but matched a child of #JericeHunter's and George Shockley I think it had to have come from Jhessye.

 

[geevee]

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 14s14 seconds ago
Merena says DNA samples from kids show sister could be a sibling to the blood donor.

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 16s16 seconds ago
Merena says conclusion to who the donor was of the blood on the carpet. Says it indicates it's bio child of Hunter & Shockley...

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 27s27 seconds ago
And full sibling of the other daughter Shockley and Hunter had together. #jericehunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 13s14 seconds ago
So without saying it's Jhessye's blood he pretty much just said it's Jhessye's blood. #JericeHunter

 

[geevee]

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 11s12 seconds ago
Jurors VERY interested, taking a lot of notes. #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 24s25 seconds ago
Now looking at the profile from another stain on the carpet. Also consistent w/bio child of Hunter & Shockley and full sister of Jhessye's.

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 15s16 seconds ago
Jhessye only had one full sister, fyi. #JericeHunter

 

[geevee]

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 10s10 seconds ago
Merena talking about another stain, same story as the other two. #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 5s6 seconds ago
Merena says DNA profile is 1.1 quintillion more likely to come from bio child of #jericeHunter and George Shockley & sis than random person

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 5s6 seconds ago
So...it's not anyone else's DNA. #JericeHunter

 

[geevee]

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 9s9 seconds ago
"If Jhessye is only other daughter they had, would the blood be hers?" Merena says it is extraordinarily unlikely it's anyone else's.
----

Weren't they able to get a DNA profile from Jhessye's sister to rule her out as the donor?

 

[geevee]

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 30s31 seconds ago
Merena can't say when the blood stain was left there. #JericeHunter

Mia Garcia ‏@miagarciafox10 · 12s13 seconds ago
DNA Analyst: blood stains on carpet are extraordinarily unlikely to belong to anyone other than Jhessye #fox10phoenix #JericeHunter

Elizabeth Erwin ‏@elizabetherwin · 13s13 seconds ago
This is by far the most damaging evidence yet...showing the DNA belonged to #JhessyeShockley. #JericeHunter

Yes, but they have to say it's "extraordinarily unlikely" to be anyone else's DNA to deal with the "extraordinarily unlikely" chance that some unknown person who happened to be born with identical DNA to Jhessye also happened to leave bodily fluids in that closet.
