Short recess be back in a few minutes.

 

[SuziQ]

Pros says defense is confusing the jury. Judge says he's confused as well.

 

[SuziQ]

Judge says no more of this. Defense says just a couple of more questions. Breaking again.

 

[Indianagirl]

Was there any DNA evidence found from the rape of Christopher? I know both Cobbins and Davidson's DNA were found related to Channon's rapes but haven't heard anything on Chris' rape. TIA

 

[SuziQ]

There was sperm found in Christopher, but I can't recall if testing identified who it belonged to.

 

[SuziQ]

DNA results are supposed to be read today.

 

[SuziQ]

Back in recess.

Defense is contrite and apologize. Just merely trying to make a point that the pros and detectives were witholding information. Apologizes again.

 

[SuziQ]

Jury coming in. Courtroom is very tense today!
