Molly the cadaver dog was taken into Mark's cabin for a sniff....
7 trained final responses by Molly---indicating HRD---the exhibit only shows 6, so they are trying to figure out why...
OBJECTION---Defense very upset, thinks the state is helping the witness with her memory---judge says he doesn't see a problem...
Pros: are the 6 areas mapped the correct locations?
Witness: Yes, they are
Defense: I'd like to see it, it doesn't look like the report I have...
Judge: you dont need to editorialise, please step to the bench....
After sidebar: Pros: can we admit this exhibit please...
OBJECTION---Maam you did not make this map did you?
NO
DEfense: There have been several drawn up---these are not accurate---they are large swaths, 2 by 4 feet, that is not accurate enough...
Pros: Let me clarify, you will testify to the jury to specify where exactly each alert was, correct?
Witness: Yes, correct
Defense: objection, Judge, is this map being admitted as a demonstrative?
Judge: I think it is fine...
Witness: she indicated on seat portion of the brown couch...She indicated in corner by fireplace, and there was some blood smears...She indicated at bottom of staircase...She indicated on a dufflebag in the bedroom, by the bathroom sink and directly under it, and by washing machine...
Pros: what does this all mean to you?
objection---overruled
It may mean that someone who touched human remains then moved around in or stepped or touched these areas...[like the sink or washing machine etc]
Pros: Did you go to middle mt the next day?
Yes---I allowed Molly to sniff the area previously searched, and where remains found, to see if there were other areas she might discover...
Defense objection---I just got this new map today and haven't been able to verify any of this yet...
Pros: Your honour, to clarify, I gave them this map w/coordinates last week, this is the same map but with coloured lines and arrows, for jurors to see better...
Defense, oh ok....
Pros:These are areas Molly alerted are down hill from the initial remains ----
Witness: yes, that happens because water runs down and takes small debris along
Pros: Did Molly sniff Marks vehicle?
Witness: [472, 473, 474 exhibits, Dodge vehicle , map of Dogs alerts]
472: Witness was off lead and she was searching for human remains, Front driver and back door, outside of vehicle, alerted there,
473: climbed inside vehicle, she pushed back some bags and alerted on back seat, drivers side
