Observations so far: defendant is a very fast runner. He also isn't very good at wearing a mask.
Nope. I made that reference earlier a la rules don't apply to me. I find the defendant's body language very arrogant. MOO

Can't wait for redirect for that. ?
On direct she testified that defendant went downstairs to living room to sleep the night of the murder.
On cross she testified that defendant was upstairs in her bed to sleep night of murder.
Did I hear that right?
I need to replay that entire testimony.

She has been pretty solid on everything that it truly relevant. I’m not too worried about that.

So he threw his bloody clothes out at her house.

She’s a great witness. Cross was terrible

I'm willing to believe she was scared of him and of getting in trouble because of him as well.

I'm not familiar with the video/legal commentator in question but are you sure they weren't referring to not having probable cause to search the vehicle? I believe SC provides for a vehicle to be stopped based on reasonable suspicion... MOO

Here in SC the whole reasonable suspicion (even to search) thing is really broad. I thought I smelled pot will get you reasonable suspicion every. single. time. It is seriously like if you get pulled over and LE asks you to step out of the car, grab the keys and lock the door. Then they will need a warrant.

This defense attorney is trying her best to trip up the state’s witness (former girlfriend of defendant). Witness seems irritated and defensive. I’d be the same.

I think this witness did very well. The prosecutor didn’t do a great job of leading the story but the story came across.
The defense only really had questions about why she didn’t call the police. Good question, but that doesn’t discredit the testimony.

I honestly found her pretty calm on the stand.

Was the probable cause to stop the vehicle the suspicion it was the one the victim was last seen getting into?
 
  • #519
imo I don’t think defense can do anything to get past that witness’ testimony.
She couldn't risk being viewed as complicit after the fact. What did she know and when did she know it? Car full of blood. Saw him cleaning murder weapon, attempting to clean car, bloody clothes at her apartment. She put her daughter in back seat that was covered with blood, drove around with defendant.

Yes, there was a bolo alert out on that vehicle.
