Look at- think of tire like a clock. Original dent started at about 11 and extended to 2 o'clock #arochitrial

#arochitrial Mr Lipscomb, botanist, says grasses found under Camaro were Bermuda, crab, & hairy-seed. 3rd only found near moist areas @FOX4

OK. Lipscomb off the stand. Legal arguments on whether jury to hear his testimony #arochitrial

 

[CookieM]

We don't know. Arochi claims he punched it but also said he dropped a tire on it

In the search warrant, the story he told was that he had his car up on a jack and dropped the WHEEL on his hand, got pissed, and punched the car. Not that he dropped the wheel on the car. (Just to clarify.)

Didn't the pros ask one of the experts if it was possible that dent came from dropping a tire on it and he said no? I thought that was because it was another one of arochi's stories but maybe I'm just getting it mixed up

Defense objects“This plant only grows near water therefore he drove near water.Don’t think you can make that leap or assumption”#ArochiTrials on his car #arochitrial

If I remember correctly, a witness was asked if someone punching the car could cause the damage and witness said 'no'.

Prosecutor says he'll just ask Lipscomb about where grasses are likely to be found, won't talk about driving off-road #ArochiTrial @NBCDFW

Defense says written report "suggests automobile off-road at some point." Judge says report has enough qualifiers. Report OK #arochitrial
