Respectfully, again you misstate the evidence (and draw your conclusion from misstated "facts").RSBM
I think the jury will infer, whatever happened to John, happened at approx 12.32 when his phone stopped moving forever, he ceased answered any messages/calls, and his phone remained in pocket state for 1000s of events.
The BITS version itself presupposes this i.e John goes inside immediately he arrives at 12.24 - then his phone goes dead just 8 mins later. Karens version implies that the reason he did not come out, is because he'd been attacked.
So I do think the D is, in practical terms, also committed to 12.32.
MOO
You are saying "the jury will infer" which is purely an opinion, but more importantly it's not at all what the defense is arguing. Your conclusion is based on circular reasoning, that the conclusion you've come to is the evidence for it. No the def is NOT arguing for that time - merely showing that it's not right.
In addition, your time claims about what's going on with JOK phone is just not accurate. His phone did not "go dead" at 12:32. And the location data has NO data for the entire 12-minute period starting at 12:24. At 12:36 there is location data again. (Those are from cw witness.)
