It's a shame that we can't see the Walmart video.

I'm wondering how well the jury can see the Walmart video. The TV isn't really all that big and the video is shrunken.

I'm hoping they have some type of monitor close enough to see.

What’s the point of the wall mart video , just to show them not engaging?

I assume the point the State is trying to make is that there is no father-son bonding occurring between Mark and Dylan. They are distant physically and perhaps emotionally. JMO

It will be interesting how the defense deals with this witness and video.

The jury may be wondering why a father who has limited visitation with his son seems so disinterested in him so soon after his arrival.

The State started out with several friends of Dylan testifying. They gave the jury a sense of who the victim was. A young man who's life was taken way too soon.

The other witness's the State called brought in video evidence showing MR's lack of attention to Dylan, his own son.

During cross the defense was able to get Ryan Nava's testimony about how poor the cell signal was at Mark's home in Vallecito. That suggests a reason for the cut off of communication from Dylan.

But they did connect via text from the home earlier. That gave Ryan Nava a reasonable expectation that Dylan would respond to later text messages. Why didn't he respond? Poor cell service or he couldn't because he was dead?

The defense also got some of Dylan's friends to testify about hitchhiking. Moran had to refresh their memories of this using FBI transcripts of interviews made shortly after Dylan disappeared. It seemed like the witness's wanted to distance themselves from those FBI interviews because they originally made it seem possible that Dylan would hitchhike to get to Ryan Nava's home.

Can't say that I blame them for not believing it now. The jury will get to weigh their original statements against today's. JMO

Friends recount final conversations with Dylan Redwine before his disappearance

DURANGO, Colo. — Dylan Redwine was by all accounts a normal 13-year-old boy who loved to hang out with his friends, had a rambunctious streak and was often texting people on his phone and on his iPod throughout the day.

Mark Redwine trial: Dylan didn't want to visit father, friends testify

“Fear inside his eyes”: Dylan Redwine didn’t want to visit father, friends testify

One by one on the first day of testimony, Dylan’s friends — tweens when Dylan disappeared nearly a decade ago, but now in their early 20s — described how Dylan spent what prosecutors say was his final day alive. Dylan had a sleepover and hung out with friends in the Colorado Springs area before he flew to Durango on Nov. 18, 2012, and he made plans to get out of his father’s house as soon as he could, testimony revealed.....

Boulder County District Attorney Michael Dougherty, who is working as a special prosecutor on the La Plata County case, did not press Dylan’s friends as to why the teenager didn’t want to visit his father, but during an exchange in court while the jury was not present, he alluded to a strained and potentially abusive relationship between Redwine and his son.

On cross-examination, Redwine’s defense team sought to bolster their claim that Dylan ran away from home, establishing that Dylan previously had hitchhiked and that he sometimes dealt with problems by “walking away” from them. The defense team also worked to undermine the significance of Dylan’s reluctance to visit his father, suggesting his perception had been unfairly influenced by his parent’s contentious custody battle.

In the days after Dylan disappeared, Redwine proposed to The Denver Post that the boy may have hitchhiked to meet a friend in Bayfield — a theory the defense has promoted at trial.
