GUILTY - Sidney Moorer, Obstruction of Justice Trial, Heather Elvis case, 28 Aug 2017 #1

WTH is he talking about? He just likes to hear himself speak. SMH!

 

[TTF14]

Is it hearsay though? She was asking Bri what Heather said to her, not what SM said to Heather. Am I splitting hairs?

I don't know! And why would she be allowed to say she was crying and hysterical and not be allowed to say what she said!?

 

[Dylgem22]

why is he talking about SM wanted to break up with her? I thought she called Bri to tell her he said he was leaving TM and wanted to get back together? Why did the judge say that?

Clearly, you and I need someone with legal knowledge to chime in here! Ha!

 

[Poppyflower]

He doesn't get why Heather was upset?!?! Why am I surprised....I shouldn't be. I guess I'm not. :scared:

 

[TTF14]

Because that's what Truslow said and the judge is pretending not to know what Bri said Heather said.

RECAP FROM THIS MORNING (more on Cauble's testimony):

Cauble said Moorer’s dishonesty about using the payphone caused detectives to doubt all the information he told them when he spoke with them for more than an hour on Dec. 20, 2013. “If someone spits in my coffee, I’m not going to drink around it,” he told the court as an example of how one instance is enough to taint an entire interview.

He said Moorer mislead police during the two instances he spoke with them before Dec. 20, 2013 also by not telling them about the payphone call.

“He was telling the truth about certain things, but leaving things out as well,” Cauble said of his interview with Moorer, and said detectives took time and resources to comb out the truth.

He said Moorer also didn’t tell investigators he was in the area of Longbeard’s Bar and Grill in the Carolina Forest area that night, which Cauble said would have been relevant, because later detectives believe Elvis was at Longbeard’s before vanishing during the early morning hours.

Moorer told police he was out with his wife at his side throughout the night on Dec. 17, 2013 and into the early morning hours of Dec. 18, 2013, and that he only used the payphone at about 1:30 a.m. to tell Elvis to leave him alone and to stop leaving notes on his truck.

He told Cauble and other detectives that his marriage had suffered after his wife learned of the affair between him and Elvis, and that he had since gotten things back on track, and wanted to keep it that way. Moorer had agreed to let his wife handcuff them to their bed for six months, and said he was chained to it later that night.

He said he called Elvis in secret on the payphone, parking at a distance, so his wife wouldn’t see.

Cauble said he questioned whether Moorer and his wife Tammy were in a good place, because he said phone records revealed she was texting someone who was her boyfriend that night, according to testimony.

Moorer is also heard on the recorded interview played in court stating he didn’t want to take a lie detector test without an attorney when asked by detectives, stating confrontation made him nervous.

So, in recap, Tammy was in the vehicle while he made the phone call to Heather from the pay phone and he parked a distance so she wouldn't see him doing that (YEAH RIGHT, as she handcuffs your a$$ to the bed every night. How would he possibly get away with calling her while Tams sat in the truck at 1:30 in the morning!)

And, yes, she was texting her boyfriend while he was at the payphone.

I hate to say it but, I'm agreeing with the Judge that this line of questioning is not necessary.

 

[Carolina Girl]

So set the trial date and let us get on to the real trial!

 

[trigger]

WTH is he talking about? He just likes to hear himself speak. SMH!

I have no idea what hes sayng either. So frustrating to say the least. Hes still talking.

 

[Surfside]

"Judge if you're gonna try my case for me, don't lose it." Now Dennis is quoting some Paul Newman movie. Knock it off, loser.

According to Taylor Herlong at WBTW, the State called a recess to 'look through notes from last trial'.

The jury has returned and the witness is continuing with her testimony.

 

[Surfside]

He doesn't get why Heather was upset?!?! Why am I surprised....I shouldn't be. I guess I'm not. :scared:

He was saying that if, as Bri testified, Heather was "happy" by that point, why would a call from SM asking her to quit calling him, upset her so much? In other words, he's not buying SM's excuse for calling Heather. If Heather had moved on, that wouldn't have made her sob hysterically.

 

[Niner]

Anyone know what time they are going to? 4pm 5pm??

TIA!

Taylro Herlong:

State continues questions to Brianna. Looking at phone convos between Bri and Heather.

 

[JerseyGirl]

Anyone know what time they are going to? 4pm 5pm??

TIA!

Yesterday they went until 5:30 p.m.

Taylor Herlong:
Brianna says she got angry with what Elvis told her on the phone and asked her how the date with Stephen went.
Brianna says this was the first time that she had left Heather alone since they started living together in River Oaks.

BDickerson:
Warrelmann said she talked to Elvis around 1:44 a.m. on Dec. 18, 2013. She testified she told Elvis she needed to go to sleep and asked how her date went earlier in the evening.
The witness said Elvis always parked her car in the same spot while living at River Oaks.

 

[Surfside]

NL just established that Heather's car could be seen from the road, driving by their apartment complex, and that she parked it in the same place all the time.

Truslow: "Was his last name Steven Schiraldi?"

Sigh. So that would make his name Steven Steven Schiraldi. Haha!

 

[JerseyGirl]

There are no further questions from the prosecution. There was nothing further and the witness is excused.

The next witness is Stephen Schiraldi, a previous Murrells Inlet resident. He and Elvis went on a date the night she went missing in December 2013, they met after exchanging messages on Instagram.

Taylor Herlong:
Schiraldi says he dropped Heather off at her apartment after the date. The two of them texted that night and had plans to hang out the next day.
