Geevee-
I forgot to post my little bit of phone info for you, sorry. TA’s phone service in 2008, Verizon, had default setting (could be modified) for how many seconds a phone would ring before going to VM. Verizon also set the interlude time between rings (could not be modified).
1. The default setting for how long a phone would ring before being transferred to VM was
32 seconds, or 8 rings.
2. Verizon set the between ring time of 4 seconds.
3. So, again the 4 calls the
made on June 3:
Calls by JA to TA on June 3, ordered by duration.
12:57PM.
17 seconds (TA didn’t answer, the phone rang under 5 times, didn’t go to VM.
8:34PM.
49 seconds (If TA answered it was with a FU and hangup). If the call went to VM the recorded message was less than 17 seconds, given his message would have least begun to play before it was bypassed, if that was even possible on T’s phone.
8:16PM.
2 minutes, 9 seconds. One of 2 calls where it’s even possible they spoke. If he didn’t answer the call, the VM she left was no longer than 97 seconds, one minute and 37 seconds, minus the time to listen to or bypass his recorded message.
1:51PM.
2 minutes, 50 seconds . 2 of 2 calls where it’s even possible they spoke. If he didn’t answer the call, the VM she left was no longer than 138 seconds, 2 minutes and 18 seconds, minus the time to listen to or bypass his recorded message.
I checked out the BK transcript for recorded VM’s on TA’s phone, but the log doesn’t include message duration.
I read out the psycho VM she left him that night to time it. I typically speak very rapidly, but sped up a wee bit to err on the side of a shorter rather longer message, and I did not allocate time to her many “um” pause. I came up with a time of
just under one and a half minutes, 90 odd seconds, but the actual time is probably closer to 2 minutes.
Just as you thought, that’s roughly the same amount of time as the 2 calls on the 3rd. Time enough for one very short breathless VM, or time enough for the phone to ring a few times and go to VM before TA picked up, or time enough for the phone to ring a few times, for TA to pick up, and for them to have a conversation where they each spoke for a whole approx. one minute apiece.
There are no VM’s from her on his phone other than her post-slaughter psycho call. Based on the gaps in the VM transcript, though, there’s very little doubt she went into his phone and deleted VM’s. (IIRC, Mr. Phone’s testimony was that she had the access to do that).
(hugs, and you’re welcome). 
