Computer expert. Missed his name.
Next witness will be 30mins. Then Jury released. Then I hope....the hearing....IMO

I missed all that part, but that sounds right. It sounds like he will allow enough to support the possibility that CY actually witnessed the attack, but that he may disallow statements of identity. In that case, as you say, the jury can consider why this witness was not harmed during the attack.IIRCC, the judge said something about her not saying the identity of the perp, but something about the reason 'why the perp left an eye witness.' I think he meant it was up to the jury to determine THEIR opinion on why whoever did this, would leave the child because she MAY have been a witness.
I believe this again goes under the 'circumstantial evidence' rules.
Is that right, gritguy?

Clearly one good reason is that it was JY and he didn't want to kill his daughter, just the wife. But, I remember another nasty case where a guy stabbed a woman to death in her home - stranger killing the best they could tell, a long time ago - and left a very young child (not baby) without harm despite the child having seen the attack. So that does happen too. However, if the fact-finder here sees the evidence trail to be that CY was moved around, cleaned up, and otherwise treated gingerly despite having been a direct witness to the murder, they might consider why that is.
Given the way I see things, I think it was b/c it was JY who did it.
LOLMan that e-mail is so full of BS you could shred it, put it in your flower bed, and raise some prize-winning flowers!
It contains some of that product Scott Peterson was selling. (SP was a manure salesman).
LOL
The way he is reading it makes it sounds far less out there, than the way Michelle's friend yelled it out!

I swear, I hate to be so critical because I'm so darn far from perfect--but the agent read that email as though he was in the 5th grade.
And I missed hearing he or BH giving the DATE of that email.....did they even say the date??
Yes, I hurried to walk my dogs before this witness. Did I miss much??
