GUILTY TX - Christina Morris, 23, Plano, 30 August 2014 - #40 *Arrest*

[roadrunnermt]

I thought it went pretty well. Most of the defense's motions were denied.

His toll records and his collection got thrown out. There are 3 warrants that don't use a specific legal verbiage so judge is looking into that (c'mon, how is Steve gonna leave us hanging for this? :wink No DNA found in the vacuum from Sprint.

There are still a lot of motions to go and we are gonna learn little tidbits along the way, I guess.

Am I confused too? I understood that EA toll was denied to suppress but CM tolls were agreed to suppress due to no evidence for warrant or something worded incorrectly in the warrant?

I know it first was stated incorrectly but then was changed but I'm still confused[emoji15].

 

[roadrunnermt]

Can anyone sum up today? Did it go as expected? Is there anything that is critical that got suppressed?

We also learned he took his car to the car wash and bank records are allowed to show this, I believe.

They found some 'deviant ' that they wanted to use as intent. Judge said no.

As I'm understanding the items posted here so far ....

EA's toll records were deemed unusable in court (suppressed). (Ugh - not huge, but not helpful)
CM's are considered to be unchallenged at this point.
EA's surfing is suppressed, but this is Google-search evidence, not directly from his phone. (I would consider denial of evidence found on his phone itself, if any, to be much more of an issue.)

Apparently there is still much left to be decided. The main issue raised seems to be the details in the wording of warrants and affidavits. Nitpicking. Good lawyering, but frustrating for the purposes of justice, trying to keep the jury from knowing and being able to decide using all the facts on this creep.

My concern is whether there will be a domino of evidence that falls, that then invalidates the use of a bunch more evidence. That would be a biggie. Haven't seen any like that listed yet.

We have definitely not always agreed, but I respect your opinion and intellect, Steve.
Thanks for opining!

Thank you very much! It's so confusing all the legal lingo.

I think it's rather frustrating about the toll records. Might not be a huge deal but I'm sure they prove he's lying about where he was and times. Let's hope today brings lots of good news for Christina's family!

From my understanding of the tweets, they first started talking about warrant for EAs toll records, and defense said 1. Prosecution has no right to those records because they are private 2. The warrant is missing the specific phrase which relates it to the probable cause affidavit. The judge ruled in the defense's favor, but then there was confusion in the courtroom...

Then they realized the warrant they were just talking about was actually the warrant for Christina's tolls, not EAs.

Judge said he needs to look into the issue of the phrasing to see if it's legally required, and that EA has no right to suppress Christina's toll records. The judge said he will rule on this later after researching the missing phrase.

Next up came EAs actual toll records and the judge said that PPD didn't provide good enough cause for pulling his toll records. They didn't state that he had a toll tag in his car, or any reason they thought he used toll roads. In addition, this warrant also had the issue with the missing phrase. Judge voted in favor of defense on this one based on insufficient cause.

If I understand correctly, that means there is one more warrant out there with the missing phrase.

Sorry for confusion!

Thank you! Much easier to understand. So it should have said why it was needed like cell pings.

I think it is an important piece to show his travel that night. I hope it is allowed.

I wonder if they can correct and resubmit before trial?

Valerie Wigglesworth is in court again.

looks like they are challenging wording 🙄 The judge is checking the legality for the car's warrent so I am presuming he will say the same for the warrent of the house.

This is awful - I hope they don't get thrown out. Makes me so mad that there actually allowed to do this. If the evidence is there it should be allowed.

Now I'm starting to see what these challenges are I feel EA's lawyer has no other option but to try throw stuff out b cause it's all stacked against him!

Link to her Twitter...

They are not allowing his yahoo 2 email accounts to be used - I wonder what information that had from them. All because the affident again.

How frustrating about the tolls. They didn't state any reason they thought he used tolls? How about the fact that two toll roads are right there by the shops and the most likely route of travel?

I think they can use his tolls now as he waivered the right because he handed them to police on his 2nd interview!

I'm hoping the search evidence for home & car can be used! I think there big ones.

I am going to be out of pocket for a bit today, but Valerie just tweeted that Detective Stamm just testified this morning that EA volunteered his toll records so it appears that they actually will be allowed now. Judge says EA waived his ability to complain about them since he offered the records to police. I will copy the tweets here once I get to a computer, or someone else can.

 

[Lolly85x]

I have tried to copy her Twitter but it's not letting me, I will try & copy and paste the tweets.

Judge explains Arochi waived ability to complain about records obtained when he gave similar records to police. #arochicase #findchristina
