There is an initial inquiry from a WhatsApp user by the alias "Arie" and then following conversations about price and doctor's location. The date shows 6/7/22."Arie" is incredibly motivated to get the surgery done, insisting on selecting a date for the initial consultation as a day that the surgery room is also available to perform the procedure. Arie's mind is made up. The name given to the doctor is "Arie Roberts."

KAITLIN ARMSTRONG TRIAL: Lunch break is over. I'm in the courtroom & will have the latest.
@CarissaonFOX7 has a recap from this morning.
3:05 PM · Nov 13, 2023

The state has called Brandi Standfield, a digital forensics analyst.
We are looking at pictures of a woman who looks like Armstrong holding out a gun, another with a hairnet on (presumably before surgery), and many w/ bandages over her nose.
3:14 PM · Nov 13, 2023

There's also a pic of a booklet with signatures in it including Allison Paige and another pic of what seems to be a receipt for a prescription. The court is now looking at convos from whatsapp about setting up a time for surgery.

Kaitlin Armstrong Afternoon Thread

This morning, the court heard from Detective Daniel Portnoy, who detailed the forensic investigation into Armstrong, Strickland and Wilson's electronic devices.

I'll pick up my live tweeting today with the first witness following lunch: Brandi Standfield, DA's office, Digital Forensic Unit.We are looking at pictures that have been introduced into evidence. The first photo shows Kaitlin Armstrong with a firearm posted to IG.

The next photo is a log of names and dates of those who have signed into a gun range. The name "Allison Paige" is listed.The next photo is a closeup that shows scarring around a hairline. Next is a photo of Kaitlin with a bandage across her lips and nose.


The next photo is another picture of Kaitlin. Her hair is a lighter shade of reddish brown and there is a bandage around her nose. She is looking directly at the camera. The date is 6/24/22. More photos with various profiles of her nose and the bandages. These were taken on 6/26.


These are all selfies with her looking directly at the camera. You can see a trace of blood inside of her nostrils. The base of her nose is red and swollen. Her face glistens in the profile shot. In one picture, it appears as if her lower lip is also swollen. She has bruising around her eyes.


Now looking at a Forensic Examination Report. Generated Jan. 5, 2023. We are looking at messages pulled from a WhatsApp extraction. There are 54 messages in the conversation. It is in Spanish, with a translation in English. It is an inquiry into rhinoplasty surgery.

I think they are setting CA up to be their next witness. Will probably ask her if she was buying the ammo, if so, who she was buying ammo for, and what kind/caliber it was.

Hmm, was KA using her name, or was CA with her and buying the ammo? Hope CA clears it up while on the stand *fingers crossed*

So she bought ammo under her sister’s name. She had her ID.

Bet she threw the rest of that ammo box along with gloves, etc. in the dumpster.

On 1/12/2022, a box of 50 round 9mm ammunition was purchased for $25.57 to "Jill Zann." This is the customer account for person who purchased ammo. Kaitlin Armstrong's credit card was used.

Seeing a document that Luppino says shows a credit card transaction from January 12, 2022. Cardholder name is listed as Christine Armstrong. Purchase amount was $13.53. The invoice record displayed shows ‘lane rental & target’ as the purchase item.

Passed witness. Defense questioning about the sales receipts of that particular day. Defense clarifies if Kaitlin Armstrong purchased 9mm ammo that day, so did 28 others. Luppino says that Ammo Inc. ammo is a very popular brand for gun enthusiasts to buy.

"So did 28 others"
Gonna guess this elicits a "oh FFS" from most jurors.
