I’m right there with you @legalmomma

I really want to brush the prosecutor's hair...
Are there family members in the courtroom? I saw at the beginning of the trial that a courtroom attendee took a photo of someone (she was watching him take it) in the courtroom.

no opening from defense

Same here, it literally looks like she rolled out of bed and ran out the door without touching it. So far I haven’t seen them identify family members. I came in a bit late though so I didn’t see the start of the prosecution’s opening statement.

I so feel for the officers that discovered the children... and of course Breezy and Megan.

Back at the Osceola courthouse, where a jury will hear opening statements from attorneys in the trial of Anthony Todt. The Connecticut physical therapist is accused in the 2020 killings of his wife, children and dog at their Central Florida home.

It must have been a horrendous scene to walk into. Especially considering they were there on the fraud warrant. They were completely blindsided.

Not sure about tweets but there is closed captioning so you could watch it on mute.

Why does the defense object over every item of evidence so far admitted? Surely it is a waste of time.

I found a few photos that have the Todt family to compare against the person you saw. Chrissy Caplet is the sister who called for a welfare check.

This is also available. It seems to be the entire Motion in Limine hearing from 3/30/22. I guess they were able to work out the issues with the defense counsel.
About 40 minutes long.

Wow! Why is he 'swaggering' around?! MOO
Also looks like he's lost a LOT of blubber...He's still pasty and unhealthy looking, tho. Imo

Most of the time today was spent introducing evidence into court… sort of a dry subject when you are listening to how fingerprint 6 was processed exactly like fingerprint 5 was, but necessary to provide the foundation for the evidence and avoid defense attempts to discredit it. Emily Seda, a crime scene investigator took up the lion’s share of the day and in my opinion she did well. She was able to say ‘I don’t know or don’t remember’ without sounding confused or lacking confidence. Like I said, kind of a dry day but necessary.
