Flores says Mesa PD policy said not to turn on a computer, but there was nothing said about waking sleeping computers.

Willmott argues that Flores shouldn't have woken up a sleeping computer. #jodiarias

#jodiarias Det. Flores: in 2008, it was okay to wake up a sleeping computer.



--

I bet every juror that has brushed their finger on their mouse touchpad or hit spacebar, is wondering what the hell is the big deal about waking up a damn computer.

Willmott is saying Flores should be protecting the integrity of evidence #jodiarias #3tvarias

Like JA did when she got rid of the knife the gun and her bloody clothes, right?

Juan- No child has been found on this computer correct?
Flores- Correct #jodiarias #3tvarias

The great Sue Do Nihm must have finally had enough time to recreated the wheel or mousetrap.

I was just thinking how pointless she's spending her time and energy, so many days wasted trying to prove a lie that everyone *knows* is a lie, esp. her.

Most of Det. Esteban Flores' answers, whether to Juan Martinez or Jennifer Willmott, have been, "yes."

Willmott says Flores woke the computer up on purpose. He responds once again there is nothing wrong with that! #jodiarias #3tvarias

Yes. That's true also. But they blasted "Possible child " found everywhere, can't just back down now, lol.

 

[Hope4More]

That's the egregious misconduct now? That Flores disturbed a computer's slumber?

Flores says there is no pornographic media on computer. Willmott continues that a site was accessed #jodiarias #3tvarias

Willmott is saying no on the computer is not the whole picture #jodiarias #3tvarias

You're right about that Wilma. The WHOLE PICTURE you speak of was ONE paper image, that flew off the bed in that chaotic way that paper falls and surprisingly fell right on JA's foot. You do remember the trial in 2013 ??? or you don't ?

 

[LinasK]

That's the egregious misconduct now? That Flores disturbed a computer's slumber?

They're going for a two-pronged attack- either Flores was the Mark Furhman of this case, or that Juan planted the .

Some observations:

I think the tweeters who are in the courtroom are doing the best they can. I am extremely grateful to them. Beth Karas has the most complete, in-context and understandable live coverage because she is blogging as opposed to tweeting. But I enjoy the comments of fellow posters so much that I prefer to stay here on websleuths.


I highly doubt that Juan Martinez is as outraged at the DT's nasty aspersions as we are. In his many years as a highly effective Prosecutor, he's probably encountered worse claims. I would imagine he has a thick skin. Can't wait to read the book I hope he writes after this is all said and done.


Sometimes I chuckle at some of the phrases used by posters. In a good way. I've always found it to be amusing at how some phrases get twisted along the way. Such as the old phrase "the elephant in the room" becoming "the pink elephant in the room". Which always kind of evokes a bit of a party atmosphere to me! The latest one which has captured me was a reference to "throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing how much sticks". While I believe the original phrase was "throwing mud at the wall", the throwing spaghetti reference made me think of an early mothering experience with a toddler in a high chair and a bowl of spaghetti. I learned to keep the high chair AWAY from the wall. Actually to place it kind of all by itself sitting on top of an old plastic tablecloth placed on the floor underneath it.


The frustrations with the judge in this case are very real. It is her first death penalty case? I wonder if she has any other experienced judge to mentor her? She certainly seems to be fumbling her way through this. And it often seems she needs lots of time to "study things". I've also noticed she will make a pronouncement in court - such as the transcripts will be released "immediately" after a decision by the COA - and then after an overnight or a weekend her own "pronouncement" gets changed. She may be a very nice lady and have been a good judge, but she is obviously inexperienced and out of her depth here. I think it is kind of like a "dealing with a new employee" situation. They have the basic knowledge but just no experience whatsoever.


The jury: The presentation of information has been SO fragmented to them, and I know so much about the facts and nuances of the case that I cannot even begin to guess what they must be thinking. BUT I can't help but think that being told you were going to be on a case until mid-December and now finding yourself still there for this out-of-order jumble of testimony in mid-January has to be frustrating. And yes, if I were on this particular jury I am probably the kind who might be taking a sneak peak at the internet, just to find out what the heck is going on. Not saying that is the right thing to do, but these people are human beings, with lives to live.


Lastly, thanks again to all the courtroom tweeters and all the commenters here.
