I think these witnesses are to negate Adam's claim that he bought the gloves and goggles to work on the hole in his muffler. :dunno:

Rocco LaDuca‏ @RoccoLaDuca
.. defense is suggesting Adam was lying when he testified that he fixed exhaust on car w goggles, gloves & mask found in Jeep

Rocco LaDuca‏ @RoccoLaDuca
But on cross, Mark tells ADA Lisi he can't be 100% sure no work had been done on Jeep

Julia LeBlanc WUTR‏ @jleblanc_WUTR
Burns: he and Adam would go to CFC when it was closed--not during office hours

Simmons now talking about typewriter which was taken from CFC. He took it apart and examined the tape inside. #ConleyRetrial


Simmons says he didn’t do any fingerprint or DNA testing on typewriter... fingerprints would have been smudges.

Inv. Simmons: Words typed into typewriter ribbon matched text on envelope of anonymous letter sent to ME’s office. #ConleyRetrial


Inv. Simmons: also found words on typewriter ribbon which match address label on envelope of anonymous letter to Sheriff’s Office


Inv. Simmons - to the left of “Oneida County Sheriff OInvestigations Dept” he found a date - 11/19/15


Yes, there’s a typo on the envelope


That date correlated with patients who visited CFC that day and whose names were also found in the ribbon.
