Yanetti up ! Bringing the corruption angle front and center !
Judge C says, and I am paraphrasing....Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. Sidebah...

I don't believe she is saying it doesn't exist as I read through that article. Also, it's sop to write a report when discovering and turning in evidence. JMOO

Bottom of the article linked: "Of course, the rub here is there is no SERT report," she added. "There might be one, but it was not introduced into evidence. So they went back having to figure out for themselves how those tail light pieces fit together and how it helps them to form their opinion on whether Karen Read is going to be found guilty or not guilty."

I remember this being a focal point of the first trial.

Why would JOK have even walked behind the car if he got out of the passenger side to go into the house?
imo

it looks like the passenger side was to the left of the house so he might cross behind the car to get over by the house.

Why would JOK have even walked behind the car if he got out of the passenger side to go into the house?

He wouldn't right? He'd get out straight onto the lawn and make a bee line for the house. God knows why anyone thinks he'd be wondering around on the road waiting to get hit by someone's lexus.

it looks like the passenger side was to the left of the house so he might cross behind the car to get over by the house.

Damn you and your logic.

Edit.. Wait... so much confusion because I'm Aussie and we drive on the opposite side.
Pretty sure JOK as a passenger does hop straight out onto the curb side outside 34 Fairview, assuming they were travelling South. No road waddles needed.

Testimony of JOK's niece is complete and media restrictions lifted. The prosecution did not call the nephew this time.

Niece testified that KR and JOK's relationship deteriorated after New Years Aruba trip “I remember hearing him (JOK) say the relationship was good but it had run its course”“she was very upset by it”“She was yelling louder than JJ”

She said KR woke her up at 4:30am on 1/29:“The defendant came into my room…She told me my uncle never came home”“She was very like frantic”“The defendant was asking what could have happened and asking could I have done something… got hit by a plow”

Later that same day at 1 Meadows:“She (KR) just said to myself and my grandfather that she thought she was living in a nightmare”On cross, Niece told David Yannetti (DY), KR watched her play sports, took her to visit to a private school, and helped plan her birthday in 2021.

DY: “Karen would help you with school projects?N: “A couple of them. Maybe yah”

Clark is with the CPAC (Crime Prevention and Control) unit and was under Tully.

Immediate sidebar because Brennan doesn’t want it on record that Tully was removed from CPAC.

Clark became involved 2/1/22 when Proctor called CPAC.

Yanetti asks if Clark was aware CPD had a conflict of interest in this case. Immediate objection.

Yanetti asks if Clark was aware that Kevin Albert was Brian’s brother. Clark says he was not aware.

Proctor was at CPD when Clark arrived. In the sallyport.

 

[louvillian08]

According to the link for OP, neither party introduced it into evidence. It could have existed in discovery. Only a fraction of the evidence in the case is ultimately introduced in to evidence, IMO.

Exactly. It was not evidence in the trial. MOO but when the defense's theory potentially hinges on when this specific evidence was obtained, this report could be the single most important piece of evidence. Especially in a case bursting at the seams with police misconduct, missing/incorrect reports and logs, manipulated video evidence, etc.

 

[Angelwatch]

Yeah that's exactly how I felt about this prosecution tactic last trial and it's the same this time around. Yanetti did a beautiful job on cross with them (I think it was Yaneti but ICBW). Jmo. The first thing he said was how sorry he was that they had to be testifying. IIRC cannone had it struck, which is fair enough, but I believe it was a sincere gesture. Jmo

I remember hearing they were used to testify about the ring camera access and to provide insight into John and Karen’s relationship. Kids don’t have the framework to properly understand romantic adult relationships. The CW’s case is plain desperate. Maybe call the lead investigator or the people who were at 34 Fairview instead of children.

Yanetti is really driving home how much time and access Proctor had to the Lexus.

Even the driveway is to the right of the house.
IMO.

The bell was rung that Tully was removed.

 

[kuromiiiilove]

Clark was part of the interview of Colin Albert at the Norfolk DA’s office. Clark was aware that Colin was the homeowners nephew. Clark conducted the interview with Michael Proctor, who Yanetti makes sure to say ‘was a trooper at the time’.

Clark denies that Proctor was lead investigator, following YB’s lead to call him the ‘case officer’

 

[kuromiiiilove]

Yanetti is asking if Trooper Clark was aware that Kevin Albert and Proctor drank in Proctor’s cruiser. Omg. Immediate sidebar - Yanetti will likely argue these questions are necessary to establish defense.

Well apparently it's fine. We can just pretend that an evidence log exists somewhere.

Unfortunately I don't remember it but it is inspiring to know the jury knew something was off about the taillight pieces and was looking for more information. Due diligence and all that. JMOO

Retraumatizing her, and for what?

 

[Alcina]

He's doing a great job at that. I was impressed after the first "no sidebar" from the judge, he stated very strongly soon after that he NEEDED to speak at sidebar. He is not having her biased rulings today, is he!

 

[kuromiiiilove]

Well apparently it's fine. We can just pretend that an evidence log exists somewhere.

According to Yuri Buhkenik, we can just trust whatever CPD says happened to the evidence/chain of command! ‘It was in their possession’ after all…

 

[waldojabba]

Yanetti is asking if Trooper Clark was aware that Kevin Albert and Proctor drank in Proctor’s cruiser. Omg. Immediate sidebar - Yanetti will likely argue these questions are necessary to establish defense.

This was in conjunction with an interview of Colin ALbert. Proctor and this witness were interviewing Colin and the witness was asked if he knew the connection between Brian A and Colin. He said yes.
So Colin has entered the "chat".
JMO

 

[shotgun09]

The IMO biased judge denied a request from the defense for a sidebar, quickly and not so subtly showing her non favor to the defense. Did the jury see that? You betcha they did.
