For those not able to view testimony, Ed Crump (one of my favorites) has a running picture and brief commentary on the trial. It's great, IMO.

ETA: Just scroll down below the "Live" screen posts, and you will see the pics taken as the trial goes along. It's also on Twitter under his name.

#TravionSmithTrial - Redden points out the balcony railing she saw Travion on, wiping down the railing. Victims

I hope the jurors caught that -- that one hurts Travion, IMO.

Popping in to ask something...

I have been watching bits of this trial when Van Callis in on break.
Is this the same courtroom Amanda and Grant Hayes trials were held?

:seeya: TIA!


ETA- Oh I see Born is here!! It has to be the same place, NC trial and all.
Hi Born, longtime no see :loveyou:

2nd ETA- Oh and Chell is tweeting this one too! Hi again Chell :loveyou:

Hi Nymeria!
:loveyou:
I have been bouncing between VanCallis and Travion Smith trials too. I never seem to have an entire day to post tweets, but do my best.

Back in a bit.....I hope.

The first witness is a jailhouse informant. Showing his face/releasing name could endanger him. #TravionSmithTrial
