Close out the page and open it again from the browser.

Had to do that about a half a dozen times before it finally came in, reminds me of the old TV sets you had to whack on the side to get a picture. lol

Chavez’s gun takes center stage in murder trial

Firearms expert Mark A. Radosevich testifies during the Levi Chavez murder trial on Monday, July 01, 2013, about the Glock 9 mm pistol that killed Tera Chavez. (Jim Thompson/Journal)
BERNALILLO—The magazine that held bullets for Levi Chavez’s APD-issued Glock 9 mm pistol took center stage in a Sandoval County courtroom this morning, as the former officer’s murder trial rolled into its fourth week of testimony.

Mark A. Radosevich, a well-known figure in New Mexico law enforcement since the early 1970s, testified as a firearms expert for prosecutors.

He spent most of his time answering questions from Senior Trial Attorney Bryan McKay about what has become one of the trial’s most important — and contested — points: whether Tera Chavez could have, as the defense contends, shot herself in October 2007 with her husband’s service pistol.

With one clear, simple statement, Radosevich drove home the state’s contention that Tera Chavez could not have pulled the trigger herself.

“Someone had to press that magazine release after (the Glock) was fired,” he said.

I tweeted Anna V about the jury's reaction to the seeing the gun up close with the magazine "seated then unseated" and she said some of the jury were nervous but VERY interested.

From Anna V at KOAT "about seeing the gun upclose? some looked nervous but VERY interested"

State has recessed their case! Big sigh from me.

Well, I got home just in time to see the brother testify. Serna didn't cross because he wants to appear sensitive and nice.

 

[NCEast]

Serna requesting directed verdict, says state has not presented sufficient evidence for Murder 1, Tampering with Evidence #LeviChavez

Serna bashing Aaron Jones, says he "poisoned" minds of potential witnesses #LeviChavez

How disrespectful to the judge. When one gives an argument (especially if he/she want to win), one directs one's body towards the person one wants to convince.

 

[Jewels53]

Can Serna not even look the judge in the eye when he is complaining!

 

[calamityjane831]

Judge ruled there is sufficient evidence, the trial will continue.

 

[calamityjane831]

Do you all think that Levi Chavez will take the stand?

 

[seattlechiquita]

I log in and some moron is taking a close up of Tera's mom's SKIRT WTH :stormingmad:

 

[calamityjane831]

Tomorrow court will begin at 930 am.

 

[NCEast]

I had my external speaker up to my ear and still didn't hear the judge deny Serna's motion for dismissal. So happy to read it on here, thank you!

Do you all think that Levi Chavez will take the stand?

That I am not sure, and I would not want to bet on it. It would just be a bunch of lie's if he did.
