A lot of trials coming up, Niner. Thanks for the updates.
https://www.courttv.com/title/8-26-19-court-tvs-next-big-trial-fl-v-ashley-mcarthur/CourtTV mentioned this trial on their FB page. Not sure if they will be streaming it.
The only witness called today was Taylor's ex-husband. Questions were related to his relationship/divorce with Taylor, and "the one specific text message" presumably sent by Taylor to her 7 yo son the night she went missing. The text told her son to "call her back", and was not something she would say to her 7 yo. His phone was used to talk with his mom, usually in the evenings. IMO, witness thought it was an odd text for Taylor to be making. I think he was skeptical that it was actually Taylor texting, but didn't make that connection until later . Witness was extremely credible and professional, and was dismissed for further questioning rather quickly.
