State asks if vacuuming a car would get rid of evidence. Objection. Outside scope. Judge now we're talking about car washes. "Car wash is not the key that opens every door. Overruled
Withdrawn
Witness steps down.
Didn't the car wash also detail the truck - which includes vacuuming or they have not mentioned that yet ?
I was unable to watch/ listen to it all today.
//Also:
Just for those who wonder if JS is any less annoying in person vs video - IMO he is more annoying and thoroughly exhausting in person. I stopped into the court for a few hours this week whiile in CT on biz.
I was there for the testimony of the court appointed woman who supervised the Fotus visit with the kids the Wed night before Fotis murdered her that Friday. He had a nasty edge of superiority with that woman also while carrying out his cross examination. That was the testimony where he fixated on the salad. "Well there was SALAD, RIGHT ?"
"And this other signature on the report, that's from your supervisor because he is your SUPERVISOR, CORRECT? "
(paraphrasing)
The beauty of being in person is that you can see it all occurring at once - you can observe the Troconis family/ the jurors/ the witnessess/ Carrie Luft ( Jennifers Mom not there when I was)/ the lawyers /reporters, etc. You also run into some of them in the elevator or hallway or parking garage. Pretty illuminating.
At any rate the point of this post is that IMO JS' antics are not lost on anybody in that court except for JS himelf and maybe his co- counsel. It s like he thinks he is the main character in his very own reality show. If I were one of his kids I'd schedule an appointment to have him evaluated. He cannot read a room and antagonized all the woman witnessess IMO. It was like he was striving to diminish all three. ( I know I know - he is trying to uncover any type of screwup - but his method and demeanor are so not respectful) Kudos to all three for more then holding their own !
For the two women retirees who testified, if I were them I would ask for more money from the lab for testifying after that performace byJS. Both women did a great job but they needed helmets and combat pay IMO.
At one point I saw him turn around out of nowhere while he was looking thru papers and flash Mrs T a smile who was sitting behind the defense table ( pretty small courtroom) - she responded with a closed lip barely there smile - it was chilly.
Whenever JS says " Well just briefly your honor - so that the JURORS are clear..." You see the jurors chairs start rocking bc guess what, the jurors are very clear - I saw them and they don't look confused. They get it.
Its JS who doesn't get it
All just my opinion
