GUILTY TN - Evelyn Boswell, 15 months, Sullivan County, 26 DEC 2019 *MOM ARRESTED* #10

[PommyMommy]

Wilhoit tells MB that he has an 18-year-old daughter. "Your child's missing. I'm worried about you. I'm worried about your child."

He tries so hard.

The recording has ended.

Wilhoit testifies that Megan reviewed, signed, and dated the written statement. Exhibit 229

 

[Megnut]

She's better off. The new "person" loves her. She'll want for nothing.

More things MB said her mother said.

These sounds like statements Mb herself well could have said to Evelyn as she unalived her.

I don't deserve you. I'm a bad mom. You'll be better off.

Megan insinuates that Lucy Steffy, a friend of her mom's, who went missing around the same time as Evelyn might have her, or has adopted her. This is the second or third time she's mentioned "that girl who went missing."

Well, I hope Lucy Steffy was found safe. MOO.

The State calls FBI Special Agent Paul Durant, employed with the FBI for about 5 and a half years. He's primarily assigned to investigate crimes against children.

 

[Megnut]

Defense only asked about how long the interview was (late into the night), whether she's been Mirandized (no) and whether they tracked MB via the cellphone LE gave her (he didn't know).

Next witness FBI SA.

Oh, boy. Here comes the cellphone guy.

 

[Megnut]

Cellphone analysis IMO is the new DNA.

Blueprint of a person's activities over time.

Welcome to your life in 3D, MB.

 

[Megnut]

Ugh

Defense calling to question the witness about expert status.

 

[Megnut]

Actually I'm glad he did. Shows he's paying attention. Effective counsel.

Sidebar, I imagine he's trying to get the judge to rule the witness isn't qualified to give expert testimony.

Waiting to see how the judge will rule...

 

[Megnut]

Judge overruled Defense.

Admits witness as an expert in the field of digital phone analysis.

 

[Megnut]

Anyone catch why there's a pause in testimony?

Got it. Defense is trying to quash the cellphone records.

 

[Wishbone]

Not sure, but it seems the defense really doesn't want the cell phone data allowed in?

 

[Megnut]

Dirty pool IMO for the Defense to challenge the cellphone analysis NOW. He knew the State was bringing it in, through this witness long before today.

Judge will have to exercise caution here in how he rules IMO.

I agree that it shows effective counsel… I actually had questions myself when I heard what his bachelors degrees were in… Nothing to do with forensics,, digital or otherwise. I think it was wise to question his qualifications… Not saying that he is not knowledgeable now, though. And it seems that the judge has allowed him… Not sure why the cell phone records are being disputed now though.

 

[Megnut]

Not sure, but it seems the defense really doesn't want the cell phone data allowed in?

I didn't catch what the kerfuffle was. Judge abruptly excused the jury.

But it was the State wanting to show the judge the signed documents. And relevant cases.

Judge is so soft-spoken.

 

[Megnut]

Hard to hear, we've gone to recess, ten more minutes.

Sounds like the judge is satisfied with the authentication of whatever this evidence is.

Looks like it's in, whatever it is.

 

[Megnut]

I predict a rocky morning.

Must be weighty stuff coming in, judging by the Defense's attempts to block.

There was something left off the documents in regards to this issue but the judge just ruled in favor of admitting it because everything else was in order. Now on the rest of jury break.....

... Durant extracted information from two cell phones and executed social media search warrant proceeds from Boswell’s Instagram and Facebook accounts.

Goodwin sent the jury from the courtroom before Durant’s testimony continued. Scott objected to the submission of some evidence the state hoped to present in Durant’s testimony. Massengill argued against him and provided Goodwin with a legal precedent.

Goodwin noted that Scott was correct in some respects but ultimately overruled his objection.
