#FLvFerriter Day 3 is beginning today, more Ring videos from inside the “box” room will be played for the jury. Based on the testimony so far, do you think Timothy Ferriter should testify (though he’s not obligated to)?
Tim Ferriter watching Ring camera surveillance inside the garage box room where he made his adopted son sleep, often eat and spend most of his time. The jury will see several hours of this. I have to say, its hard to imagine - and to watch #BoyintheBoxTrial @wpbf25news
Surveillance video just showed Tracy Ferriter open box room, say something to her son, then snap "what's wrong with you?" before leaving. Its hard to see but it looks like she dropped off his breakfast. He testified it was usually peanut butter and bread.
Video showed nighttime - toddler brother comes in and plays on the teen's bed - Tracy is animated with the baby, unlike her sharp demeanor with teen. Teen says "goodnight, P," and the other two leave, closing the locked door
Yep, agreed. TraF tasking her notes in preparation for her own defense, she shouldn’t be permitted to attend trial, imo.

Judge Coates just reminded everyone that no one except media, attorneys and the legal teams can use phones or electronics in court -its unclear what Tracy Ferriter is doing on her laptop and what pictures the other woman is taking
TraF also used cellular phone in court earlier, just saying... moo
Video just showed Tim Ferriter yelling and possibly pushing the teen - it looks like at 7 pm. he leaves, lights go out and now it sounds like the boy is crying in the dark

DAY 2 – 10/4/23
- Prosecution’s case continues with cross examination of FF.
- RF, the alleged victim, says being locked up was “dehumanizing” but called what his parents did a “mistake” and said it was time to forgive and move on.
- RF admitted to hacking, stealing, bullying, and conniving his way into situations that disturbed and upset his parents.
- Ring video obtained by search warrant shows Tracy and Tim Ferriter yelling and tossing RF’s cell-like room accusing him of stealing chocolate (audio only).
- FF, RF’s sister, said at one point she feared her father would accidentally kill her brother.
- State is expected to rest midday Thursday.
- Defense has three civilian witnesses and one expert in their case.
- If the defendant elects to testify, the case will likely spill over to next Tuesday.
- Court is dark Monday.
- If the trial spills over to the following week, one of the jurors will be replaced by an alternate, as the juror has travel plans.
Dr. Myers' testimony (imo) valuable! He has been testifying (for the State) most of the afternoon.

Good point. I firmly believe children under 18 who commit crimes should be primed for rehabilitation, and that's the case in most first world countries. America is extremely harsh on juvenile offenders.

I cannot believe they're still allowed in the court room after that. Friend of TrF blatantly took photos of the victim or whomever was on the witness stand, TrF was typing away on her laptop likely making notes for her own defense. Is this really allowed?! ... I know our justice system is flawed but I am really surprised they're allowed to stay in there after this

I am enjoying his testimony. He has very wise things to say on social and cognitive deprivation, the difference between punishment and discipline, etc.
A lot of "sidebars" in this trial, this afternoon seems more so than other days. moo
"It's malicious, it's cruel," Child psychologist Dr. Wade Myers from Brown University watched the videos of boy confined in the box room and says it was tortuous, solitary confinement and trauma inducing
