:cheer:Chelly,:tyou: for all your:loveyou: amazing tweets -:cheer:- I guess if it is a "suppression" hearing, then all doors are closed. I've never seen that before WRT a witness voir dire. Judge Ridgeway is really trying to do all things by the book and I'm certainly okay with that.:blowkiss:

From the little bit that Ed Crump (and you) reported, this may be a tuff one. But the crux of this thing, IMO is that Travion Smith was there. He didn't run away and call LE or 911. He did indeed, IMO, act in concert with Anthony, so he is in it up to his eyeballs. Period.

I don't think I could vote for the DP on this one, however, but then I think about that sweet, trusting and unsuspecting little 8 year-old child walking out there and seeing her mom in a pool of blood. Thank heaven that the construction worker was there and treated her with love and gentleness. And thank heaven that she didn't hear anything.

It had to be quite a struggle between whoever and Melissa -- I feel sure she didn't go down easily since she had so much for which she had to live and fight. Her new page in life. Oh, how sad. And so many people will never get over it & never be the same. We lost a good one.

Anyway, thanks for being such a good Tweety Bird!

You & your typing fingers get some rest. We'll see ya at 1:30!

borndem, Ed Crump was reporting during the hearing and he also took photos which he published on Twitter. So, I think the only camera that was not allowed was the video and audio camera.

Like you, I don't think this is a DP case. However, what a mess, they were just there to steal some stuff and it all went wrong. Sarah Redden appears so young.

They're ba-a-a-a-a-ack!

Her answers are quick & short -- I don't know whether she is nervous, scared, angry or what. She sounds a bit angry. I don't know whether the voir dire pizzed her off or what...

She may appear more helpful to the defense attorney.

#TravionSmithTrial - Redden: They would take GPS's, headphones, money... They had backpacks they'd put the items in.

#TravionSmithTrial - Redden: Anthony and Smith had gloves on that night. They would go into separate cars looking for items to steal.
