Defense attorney Greg McCollum questioning DeMarino about his past drug use, how long he's worked, and the fact that he's lied to the police before.

During cross examination, the defense is bringing up Denamiro's drug use and that he has lied to people before and that he's lied to the police before when police have questioned him about something he's done @WBTWNews13

Damning evidence. Why wasn't he called during SM's trial????

Maybe this witness was too afraid to testify in SM's trial because Tammy was still free.

#TammyMoorer - On cross exam the defense questions center around Demarino drug use and dishonesty

Missing Items List:

TM Computer-testimony from friend of M kids
M 1st Home Security System-Testimony of LE and friend of M kids
Heather's phone (do we know if her wallet or purse is missing?)
Either pregnancy test-the WM one or the one from Heather's bathroom
Drapes from the M house- were there but then not in photos and testimony
Picture of Heather on flip phone -testimony from TM cousin

Anything else?

 

[FrazzledNoodle]

This defense attorney is being a jerk. Questions that have nothing to truly do with the trial at hand, other than trying to paint him as a bad kid/hoodlum. This is absurd.

 

[Dylgem22]

I get that they are trying to paint this witness as unreliable, a criminal, liar, etc ... (basically same as TM and SM) .. what does he have to gain to make that up???

 

[Surfside]

OMG. I might puke.

Me too! I'm in a detective's car, on my way to the airport, watching on my phone. I have tears streaming down my face. Luckily he's deep in convo with the other passenger. I'm devastated.

They did the same thing to him at SM trial but Truslow was more concerned with his criminal record. It's their job, it's fine, if I were on the jury, that would be irrelevant.

ETA: I think that is why Nancy got it out of the way when she questioned him, about his record and if he got anything in exchange for this information.
IMO

 

[Really?]

Dang WAT !,

Thanks for reminding me he did testify in SM's trial .

Boost mobile is a prepaid phone. They weren't dumb enough to take a photo of a dead Heather on one of their traceable phones.

I guess since there was an objection last time, he wasn't allowed to be asked who showed him the photo?

 

[jash]

What phone was this on, and why not recovered?

I need answer and not given.

Did I miss why not recovered by le?

I remember one of the police officers testified that they took a flip phone into evidence. I will have to go back during lunch and look.

 

[stillwatersc]

Did Heather's family know this? So, so sorry.

Defense attorney Greg McCollum asking about DeMarino's burglary charge and two counts of B&E Auto. DeMarino says he wasn't hoping to get treated differently by coming forward. Says he told someone while he was in jail.

It's what defense attorneys do. Question the credibility of the witness, and i must say, this witness is definitely not an upstanding citizen.

The defense does not want the jury to believe this witness.

 

[keeponsearching]

I can barely understand Donald on my feed. I believe him. I saw him on during Sids and I think he had a wake up moment for life.

 

[jash]

So defense can get witness to testify to "hear-say" because it "goes towards motive". I feel Judge has been given the defense more leeway the past couple of days.

 

[AddysMom7610]

I bet hes trying to get a reaction out of this witness. Then he can say "oh maybe he did something to HE. Look at his temper."

 

[escape2sc]

I know this guy has a criminal past and drug use but I feel for him . It takes a lot of courage to get on the stand and testify knowing he was going to be attacked like that .

 

[keeponsearching]

What is the reason for the next break?

 

[Soulmagent]

Attacking his credibility. I believe the cousin.

This is probably the Cuz that left the weed in the truck,

 

[razzledazzle]

I think the jury will believe this fella.

 

[jash]

Audio and video has been horrendous but I think they're setting up so defense can play back a recording of the cousin (maybe a police interview or something). See TTF14's post below.

 

[TTF14]

So now they're setting up audio of a conversation between him and his mom when he was in jail where he supposedly tells her he lied about the photo and was just trying to get "some help."
