Pilcher is doing a minute by minute transcription; it helps me a bit better to read in conjunction with (poor) audio.Oh just wait until he sees that extreme closeup they had of him. I really wish I could hear all this better. It's like Charlie Brown's teacher, waa-wa-waaa-wa-waa I could almost make out Parker nearly shouting right now.
They just got notified that some were going to be used this morning. They have had ALL of the recordings and transcripts for years. They could have read them all and flagged anything suspicious so if it was used in court they could raise an objection. They sound like they have no idea what evidence the state has until they show up that morning and see what is going to be presented.
In retrospect, a lot of shoulda, coulda, woulda about proceedings in this trial.
Was that charge dropped from JW's guilty pleas? I can't remember.
My Dad was LE and was a religious note taker on the job. He was often in the courts and testified many times. I'm sure he was allowed to review his notes before testifying, I believe that's why he took them during cases, that and to help with writing reports. This was 40 years ago so I don't know if things have changed since that era? JMO
They should have advised their client to take a deal and testify to everything his brother and dad did that night and to how his mom pulled all the strings. I honestly think he could have gotten a deal that was as good if not better than Angela's and Angela would likely not have gotten such a sweet deal, if George would have came forward at any point to say what he knew. He had so many opportunities also. The border crossing interview, when BCI was texting him wanting to talk, when BCI was at their house before the move, but instead he warned his dad and then he moved to Alaska with them.
Reminds me of Top Gun. The commander who said "I can't believe it..." You're going to Top Gun".
Go Clark Go!So this is how sausage is made.
Losing my appetite.
Wilson looks like he may change into Superman and launch on the defense table.
moo
I think the BCI agents have reviewed notes of what will be talked about each day so they have great testimony on direct, but then defense tries to ask things they didn't go over in order to make it seem they don't remember or are somehow discredited. There is no way an agent can recall every date, conversations, and specifics without referring to notes. I get so annoyed when the defense asks about something off the wall and then they sound so condicending when they show the witness something to refresh their memory.
When was that recording?
This trial has made me realize that maybe our courts are a little "rusty". The vast majority of cases today are settled before the trial. Most of the activity (just guessing) is arraignments, pre-trial hearings, etc. It's not that often there are full courtroom trials and major murder trials like these are pretty rare.
