My story from yesterday on the #McTear prosecution's final evidence. http://tbo.com/news/crime/prosecution-rests-in-baby-tossing-trial-defense-starts-tuesday-20140728/ …

Erin Maloney ‏@ErinOnTV 2m
#RichardMcTear defense will lay out their case today after 10am when jury gets back in. Accused of throwing infant out a car on I-275.

Elaine Silvestrini ‏@ElaineTBO 3m
#McTear prosecution says this case is not "wholly circumstantial." Jasmine Bedwell witnessed the assault.

Prosecution says it's connected #McTear to the car and through DNA, the baby to the car.

Melanie Michael ‏@WFLAMelanie 2m
State: Baby left in possession of #McTear. We have connected him to car leaving apt. We've connected him through DNA to that vehicle.

Elaine Silvestrini ‏@ElaineTBO 2m
"The only rsonable theory of how those injuries could have occurred" to baby "was if the baby was thrown through the window of a moving car

Elaine Silvestrini ‏@ElaineTBO 1m
"A 3-month-old infant is obviously incapable of consenting to the taking on his own." Only his mother could consent, prosecution says

Elaine Silvestrini ‏@ElaineTBO 1m
The infant was taken without the consent of Jasmine Bedwell, the prosecution says. #McTearTrial

Elaine Silvestrini ‏@ElaineTBO 45s
"the aggravated child abuse occurs when Emanuel Murray is thrown through the window of a moving car, #McTear prosecution argues.

Melanie Michael ‏@WFLAMelanie 38s
State: Testimony shows baby was kidnapped. No consent from mom. Emmanuel Murray was alive when taken by #McTear & thrown from car window

Judge wants to review evidence and think before ruling on #McTear defense motion.

"I'm simply going to take all these matters under advisement," the #McTearTrial judge says. Lots of case law to read.

Elaine Silvestrini ‏@ElaineTBO 1m
Defense wants to know ruling so they can decide what witnesses to present. #McTearTrial

Elaine Silvestrini ‏@ElaineTBO 1m
Judge says to present expert doctor, who will be called either way. #McTear defense agrees.

 

[Jewels53]

Elaine Silvestrini ‏@ElaineTBO 1m
The doctor is to rebut the prosecution bite mark expert re injuries to Bedwell. #McTearTrial

Melanie Michael ‏@WFLAMelanie 48s
Judge says he wants to review evidence before making ruling on judgement of acquittal put forth by defense. "There's a lot to think about."

:seeya:
Morning all!!!

Morning! I'm here!

 

[Lovejac]

I see McTear's :censored: mug on the live stream

:sick:

 

[Jewels53]

It just dawned on me---I wonder if the abuse to both baby and mom was a jealous rage? :thinking:

I can see this point and with the struggle she and McTear had with the baby and that he hit the sidewalk. Still yet I really believe McTear threw baby Emmanuel out that car window. I just hope that the jury see's the truth. imo

Emmanuel could have received medical treatment if he was just dropped. imo

He must be the only one allowed to question witness's.

 

[Lovejac]

His dental practice is in Marietta, Georgia. Interesting.

Question from me:

How much do these experts get paid for testimony? They DO get paid, don't they?

:giggle: Lucky us, huh

 

[Jewels53]

Mr Defense Attorney can't even make his question's clear to this witness. imo
