GUILTY TX - Christina Morris, 23, Plano, 30 August 2014 - #31 *Arrest*

[txyorkiemom]

But seriously though, didn't he already serve time for this? Are these new charges? When I searched, it just said adult misdemeanor.

Texas Statute of Limitations says the DA has up to 2 yrs on any misdemeanor to file formal charges.
On certain offenses there is No Limit

 

[MIKAYOYO]

No. You have to have a trial. There would be a record of the conviction. And besides, the punishment for stealing a $600 phone isn't a week in jail.

ETA -
It would be a class A misdemeanor (theft of more value than $500 and less than $1500). The punishment is jail for up to one year, a fine of up to $4,000, or both. (Texas Statute § 12.21.)

So he was eventually bailed out after that week? Honest question. I know people can do time served if they can't afford bail, and if he pled guilty, there wouldn't have been a trial.

Not only that - It is not his own residence-meaning there are others that reside there and actually own the homestead property.

Who is to say since the garbage was on the curb some of the various containers were not just placed there by someone unknown.
Do not laugh at me .....I have been known to throw crap in my neighbors 1/2 or 3/4 bags especially if I had already triple tied up my full garbage bags on the curb- (they never tie it up like I do)
They always laugh at me trying to throw crap!!

O/t. My son a joke bagged garbage to look like a body and put it out at our neighbors curb on trash day. Needless to say the garbage guy called the cops. My son went for a lovely ride with Le while they explained that doing stuff like that is a very bad idea. Teenagers 😉

Maybe Sprint dropped the charges.

Respectfully Eileen, to me there is a difference in the "interior of EA's trunk" & the "lid or hatch".. I personally read it as "in the trunk".. JMO

The laboratory report doesn't note "inside" the trunk. Later in the affidavit, the Affiant added those details.
I've been wondering why.

EA said he and Christina were not even friends, her dad said the same...she is not putting things into his trunk. If she felt forced to take a ride, i.e if her car key or maybe the lock opening device were missing, I think she would be huddled against passenger door with her stuff on her lap...she did not have luggage, just a small backpack...jmo. Or she did not get in voluntarily and was put into the trunk right away. Jmo

 

[zippixx]

See I read it as coming from the rubber lip or the grove around the opening!
You know the part that when it closes seals the trunk.

Yeah, I guess it depends how you interpret the affidavit...

The DNA sample, labeled as “swab from edge of trunk opening,” indicated “there was a significant amount of DNA present, which was produced from a single-source female profile.” Plano PD CSI Manager Rick Staub compared the swab taken from the interior trunk opening to the DNA profile developed for Morris from a Dr. Pepper can found in her vehicle.
According to the affidavit, Staub found the DNA profile to be “a perfect match to the DNA profile of Christina Morris. … The chance of another person having this DNA profile is approximately 1 in 69 quadrillion Caucasians.” Based on his experience, Staub told Busby that the amount of DNA present on the swab from the interior of Arochi’s trunk is most likely a bodily fluid such as blood or saliva.

Quite possibly there were other hits......just not outlined in the affidavit.

Yes to this - I think they used the word "interior" to cover all their bases without telling what kind, where exactly it was, etc. But they did say it wasn't touch dna and that the amount was significant. Is it just me or doesn't that word make you think it's quite a bit?

Yet, as her mom stated her worst fear was being abducted, she felt comfortable enough for him to walk her to her car.

Exactly.
the first sentence states where the swab was taken. And yes its the interior but its not Inside the trunk cavity as I understand it.

This was on last post 997 by txyorkimom!
Direct from Affidavit: p8
Affiant reviewed the Case Report. The report stated a DNA profile
was obtained from Bode sample which was taken from Agency Sample
#668923 labeled as "swab from edge of trunk opening." The Bode Technology report provided
the STR DNA profile for this sample.

Affiant and Detective Spillman provided the Bode Technology Case Report to Plano Police
Department Manager Dr. R. Staub. Dr. Staub is a certified lab director for human
identification using DNA, holds a in Genetics, and has extensive forensic DNA experience
to include having been the Senior Manager and Laboratory Director for Orchid Cellmark forensic
lab in Dallas, Texas prior to being hired by the Plano Police Department. Dr. Staub obtained the
complete lab case file from Bode Technology related to this case. Dr. Staub evaluated the
Bode Technology lab case file. Dr. Staub told Affiant he found that Bode Technology's results
from the above mentioned swab indicated there was a significant amount of DNA present which
was produced from a single source female profile. Dr. Staub compared the DNA profile Bode
Technology developed from the swab taken from the interior trunk opening of Enrique Gutierrez
Arochi?s vehicle and the DNA profile developed for Christina Morris from the UNT lab. Dr. Staub
found the DNA profile developed from the trunk swab to be a perfect match to the DNA profile of
Christina Morris devel0ped by UNT. Dr. Staub told Affiant that based on his evaluation of the
data provided by the Bode Technology Case Report that the chance of another person having
this DNA profile is approximately 1 in 69.08 quadrillion Caucasians. Dr. Staub also told Affiant
that based on his experience and the amount of DNA that was present on the swab taken from
interior of Enrique Gutierrez Arochi's trunk, he does not believe the DNA source to have merely
been touch DNA, but more likely that the DNA source was a bodily fluid such as blood or saliva.

Per the affidavit shown above:
please tell me what swab # 668923 is specifically identified as -in relation to forensic testing on the Arochi car is.
Is there a swab identified for the car marked #668924? #668925?

Do you have a link to the use of "hatch" or "lid"?

My copy of the affidavit uses the word "interior" multiple times, and the descriptive phrase "interior of EGA's trunk" along with the following: "CM's DNA was present in the interior trunk area of EGA's vehicle."

Her DNA was there, means she was there. EA put her IN HIS TRUNK.

What is the verdict? The swab was taken from the edge of the trunk. Okay, that's the sample used to identify Christina's DNA. They must have submitted other samples from the interior of the trunk that match the one taken from the edge.
Otherwise, I don't believe LE could make a statement they believe CM was in the interior of the trunk

Yet, as her mom stated her worst fear was being abducted, she felt comfortable enough for him to walk her to her car.

I don't think it is that odd that she might not see him as a threat. She knew him, to some degree. It is not as though EA was known as a famous predator. I have had fears about someone abducting me too, when I was younger- but I would picture a complete stranger. Jmo

I found that a very strange comment.
Since she was a little girl? What made her fear that?

 

[SteveS]

The sworn (under the penalty of perjury) affidavit bluntly says: "...CM's DNA was present in the interior trunk area of EGA's vehicle." In light of the penalties for perjury, and that every sworn statement can be put under a microscope when the case comes to trial, I do not believe LE lied under oath.

CM's DNA was found in EA's trunk. IN HIS TRUNK. Where is Christina Morris, Enrique Arochi? You obviously know where and when she was removed from your trunk.

The fact that dna in the form of blood or saliva was anywhere near his car blows my mind. I'll never forget when I first came on here and a part of me couldn't help but see guilt all over HF's face (which we know now he had reason to be worried and I'm still not over the 4 DAYS part); in fact, EA was almost sincere in comparison, but this thing has snowballed with all his lies - so many, in fact he was cornered everywhere from the beginning. It worried me that they took his car 3 times, but now I am hoping that's what proves what happened. If anyone else was involved, I would surely like to think they would be arrested by now.

Per Tilley:".... we were able to get enough evidence to support that a criminal offence took place and determine that there was a person responsible for it," Tilley said. "This is just the beginning of another phase."

But according to the affidavit, he was sexually frustrated from getting the stiff arm from SB. So either Christina missed that episode or it wasn't that big of a deal. MOO

Abductions off young children are not uncommon and it's a big news item (Amber Alert) when it occurs. I totally get why it would be a major concern/fear to a child.

 

[zippixx]

Seems like at the time, EA was her ONLY choice, to walk her.. but yes, she probably assumed he wouldn't harm her..

I think she was pretty preoccupied with her phone...jmo
