At least 1 female juror upset at image of Channon's forearm peeking thru cloth in trash can

Cox saying didn't see sheets or blankets on interior doors.

 

[SuziQ]

Defense wants to know who went in before and after Cox. Cox doesn't know. Now wants to know timeline of when he went in.

 

[SuziQ]

Defense trying to find a fault of somesort with detectives notebook and fingerprint kit being at the scene?

It's funny, not haha funny, how all the defendants distance themselves big time from their involvement with Chris.

I noticed that too. I guess it's okay to be present when a rape/murder of a female is committed or commit the crime yourself, but no one wants to own up to raping/murdering Chris, a male. Oh noo, wouldn't want anyone to think you're gay.

 

[SuziQ]

Asking Cox to ID some contents of red purse.

 

[SuziQ]

Defense getting into chain of evidence on red purse and contents. It's all about the journal I'm sure.

That's it exactly.

 

[SuziQ]

Not sure what defense is trying to accomplish, verifying floral fabric. Defense is doing a good job verifying evidence already noted by pros. Appears to be asking questions just to ask so they can at least say they crossed one witness today. I know I'm being snarky.

 

[SuziQ]

Defense asking what's this, what's that, what's this, what's that.

 

[SuziQ]

IMO, the defense is asking useless questions because they got nuthin.

Leland on recross.

 

[SuziQ]

Leland clarifying that Cox didn't know the contents of his purse because it wasn't his job to look in the purse.

 

[SuziQ]

Jury ? are all the markings on on clothes from the lab....yes.

Asking about contents of purse. Judge says a witness will testify to that later.

Breaking for lunch, Be back and 1pm est.

Cox pointing out cleaner w/ bleach found in Chipman. Jury will later learn bleach poured down Channon's throat

I'm glad the jury will hear about the bleach. I think it could have been VC that put the bleach on her.

 

[SuziQ]

VC brought in and seated. Can't tell if her attorney's have made it back on time from lunch.

 

[SuziQ]

Her attorneys are there, no diss from the judge today. Darn.
