[wenwe4]

Juror question come in.....
I would like to know more about pre-call prep...what was EJ told to do before call was made? told to be confrontational w/TPS, true beliefs? was she told (what to ask?)

It wasn't raised in cross - if she does then Judge will go back to it

15 min break

 

[wenwe4]

Wow.....my stubby little grubbies are aching from typing so much!

 

[dizzychick]

I am suprised the courtroom is not full with the inital media coverage this case got. why I wonder? did they all forget about poor Gabe?

only 5 or 6 unknown women on the defense side.

Wow.....my stubby little grubbies are aching from typing so much!

I bet ! I wish I knew how to type and im sure you are like my son who at 15 types 150 w/o looking at keyboard I hunt and peck and still cant see or type worth a crap grrr took typing 3 times over the years and just cant get the hang of it. I cheated and that ruined me for not looking at keypad I guess

recess

 

[wenwe4]

State atty asks what she did in prep for the confrontational phone call...went over Craig cherry statements, tennessee statements, key points I would like you to address.....be yourself....you can curse,scream,cry = be yourself.....I typically will not look at that person....it is a live mike....everything can be heard......I tell the person donot bring up topic of police...... that conversation is between the 2 parties.....topics are not made up but topics from the investigation....document from Craig Cherry name, Deanna ailla, live mike - everything can be heard if said....during confrontation call that they heard.....general conversation is topics they had addressed....when they talk about conversations in San Antonio - and going to Tennessee change jurisdictions, Craig cherry documents, yes we went over those

Stuff that she didn't tell EJ to say (ie: you told me to go to shelter and tell them I was beat) - was not brought up in prep....

2 stories EJ said....one - she killed baby and the other she gave child away - Det. had difficult time answering the Defense atty ...explain why......At the time they had statements made by EJ directly that they had heard

They consider statements as consistent or inconsistent statements as evidence.....

#8 and #9 of Defense 12
got interrupted.....

 

[wenwe4]

Witness steps down...(got phone call missed that last questions about dates of 12/26 and 12/27 - anyone else catch it?)

 

[wenwe4]

Passing out 2 transcripts = 2 separate transcripts of audio they are about to hear.....the parties have said they can keep these transcripts but must remain @ the courthouse......

different call quality....both recordings made by Mr. McQuery......

only EJ's portion can be heard on the 12/26/09 recording

Witness steps down...(got phone call missed that last questions about dates of 12/26 and 12/27 - anyone else catch it?)

That the last photo on EJ's camera of Gabriel was before 8 am on the 26th and that EJ didn't have Gabriel at 10 am on the 27th at Tornado Bus Company. So no one knows who had Gabriel during that span of time.

 

[wenwe4]

Gabriel is in the dumpster...... you want to talk to girls that is the price you pay

You get away with that?
Get away with what? You are running away...where are you and Gabe?
I killed him this morning.
No you didn't

When my money runs out....I am nowhere ....I couldn't do it...you made it impossible for me to have my own life......you don't care about Gabriel.

You had a chance to see him - I told you you could see him anytime.....you walked right passed him in court

You know what I am capable of ....you knew it and you did it anyway
where are you? are you in your house - with thos people - NO


in Texas - for now

You don't care - you made me do something.....why did you do this?
You are doing this
Tell me why you did it Logan....

video cut out! Arrggghhhh!!!

 

[wenwe4]

Wow, I lost connection w/WS and the video/audio feed from the courtroom all about the same time.....

 

[wenwe4]

Cutting to video of news....playing audio clips of Det. Velasquez......first she told she gave baby to someone @ hotel she was staying at, then told her she gave baby away at a park, couldn't tell any info or what park it was.....

lost feed

 

[my2sense]

Wow, I lost connection w/WS and the video/audio feed from the courtroom all about the same time.....

ditto. Were you able to get the video back?

 

[peedoffinny]

Darn it! I finally get a chance to watch and then it stops. Thanks everyone for the updates.

 

[wenwe4]

ditto. Were you able to get the video back?

I got some random audio - and video clips ....looks like they were trying to put the evening news cast together and it broadcast out on their signal for a couple of minutes.....I am back to the red banner saying Video Alarm Detected.

 

[wenwe4]

the WS board is extremely choppy .....wonder if something exciting is happening that is making the board run slow.....

 

[my2sense]

are there transcripts anywhere on line where we can read what was said in those calls? The tone was different than I imagined.

 

[Ransom]

JVM show just said the Prosecution rested today.

 

[wenwe4]

JVM show just said the Prosecution rested today.

That was the plan...we lost video feed during the last 30 minutes or so of court as IS pulled the plug on their feed.

There will be no court tomorrow ....Thursday the ATty's are getting together with the Judge (no jury present) to discuss jury instructions.

Then there will be a 2 WEEK break before Defense starts closing arguments on oct 16th....

I just am not feelin the love for the 2 week break the jury is out before hearing the Defense's closing. Seems like such a long time!
