Did the Defense choose not to cross X the CSI?

Smart move, IMO.

#LaurenceLovette defense just requested hearing on witness testimony. Jury escorted out.

Seems I'm full of questions this morning. Gotta stop thinking and just listen. Lips sealed.

Don't be silly, sweet Chelly -- that's why we're all here! We gotta ask questions -- I certainly miss stuff, but I'm old & grey. We love questions -- then we all learn something...

 

[CUCKOOHEAD]

The jury is not in the court room with this testimony and I believe the defense originally raised the objection. So far I don't see what part of this testimony is being questioned.

Thank you for the kind words my friend. At 69, I am old and grey too and in good company.:loveyou:

No one besides the State atty seems to know how to pull up old dates on their cell phones. I can relate.

After $520 ATM withdrawals from savings account, Mahato had about $5 left in account, Holland testifies. #LaurenceLovette #wral

Responding to timestamp on ATM video, Holland says 1/18/08 was on a Friday (timestamp said 1/19/08 was on Friday) #LaurenceLovette #wral

 

[CUCKOOHEAD]

So the defense wants to disallow the tape showing the defendant using the dead man's ATM card because it had the wrong date on it. Meanwhile the day of the week and the time is correct.

IMO that is a human error that is not enough to disallow. What are the chances the defendant had legitimate business at that bank?

 

[Chelly]

Defense, really, really does not want that atm video admitted. She has a point, the date is apparently messed up.

#LaurenceLovette defense asks that ATM security video not be admitted as evidence b/c of the timestamp. 'It's not the best evidence.' #wral

yes---driving me a bit crazy :gaah:

 

[CUCKOOHEAD]

Considerate Judge walking the defense thru how to successfully object and then he goes on and over rules it anyhow.

Wonder if he is a spell check nut...
