My first thought was it looked like a cherry Starbust so looked it up. Earplugs? Is that even allowed in court? Shouldn't you be paying attention to what's said?

Maybe that’s why she gave the weird answer. Nothing new from Ms. Bizarro, I think she’s likely going to make some kind of insanity defense.

If thats her attorney on that side, its odd she would block out her own attorney's voice/instructions. I at first thought it might be a device to help her hear her attorney *better*. But yes, she is Ms Bizzaro.

On the "holiday" exception, could there be someone who can only visit her on holidays?

She’s gotten a little fluffy!

I don’t know much about this. Is it possible that she was thinner when Melodee went missing because she went off her meds?

I also wonder if maybe the reason she wasn’t present for the past few court dates is because she was adjusting to going back on meds/in psych.

Yes, it is possible. In both, a diagnosis with some sot of psychotic episodes (like schizophrenia) and even more so in conditions with manic episodes (symptoms).

Through its investigation, law enforcement obtained warrants to search Buzzard’s house and storage locker, as well as the rental car she used on her October road trip.

Per the quoted MSM link, the defense filed a Motion to challenge a search warrant not publicly identified.

Public Defender Erica Sutherland clarified that the search warrant in question would remain sealed to the public.

Presiding Judge Stephen Dunkle said he had not yet had time to evaluate the motion.

He scheduled another preliminary hearing setting for April 1.

Given Buzzard's prior no-show history, I was surprised to see her dressed in street clothes during her short court appearance. JMO

“The defense has been waiting for the forensic files associated with Ms. Buzzard’s case for months,” the filing states, adding that the requested materials are believed to already exist and be readily accessible.

The defense also points to public statements made by Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown during a Dec. 23 press conference, where investigators announced that DNA analysis conducted by the FBI linked remains found in Utah to Buzzard, and that ballistics testing connected evidence from the Utah crime scene to a cartridge case recovered from Buzzard’s Vandenberg Village home.

Despite those public announcements, the defense argues that the underlying forensic data has not been provided.

Sounds like the prosecutors need to get with it.
