I cannot believe the defense is making a fuss about hearsay from ER’s high school days. They are just desperately stupid, IMO.

Wouldn’t that be hearsay anyway?

"This whole case is about pill addiction,"

Nester says. "I'm only asking to impeach him; I can limit it to what he said in the prelim."Nester says this is critical.



"This is hearsay, it's not admissible," said Judge Mrazik.

Nester says it's a violation of a number of things and wants to call an expert to say that Red Devils were a slang term for PCP.

"We object to this and we move to strike Cody Wright's testimony," said Nester.



Interesting morning. I'm in the media room for a bit (I'll hop back in the courtroom this afternoon; after @KUTV2News at noon).

What do you think about Day 10 of the #KouriRichinsTrial, so far?!

And this: if ER had an addiction to pills, KR is innocent.

No, Defense. That's still not true.

He was popping sudafed. In high school.

But he died of an overdose from illicit fentanyl.

Which KR commandeered.

11 a.m. Judge asks Bloodworth if, for the sake of appeal, he wants to get on the record the drug question. Bloodworth says he needs to confer with his team and they leave the courtroom. Court is now off the record until prosecution returns.


10:58 a.m. Nester argues with the judge and says they have an expert who will testify about red devils. Nester says there is a key question of whether Eric Richins had a drug problem and if he did, “Ms. Richins is innocent.” Nester says the witness has changed his story and said in the prelim that Eric used drugs but now says he did. Nester says this is a huge impediment to the fairness of the trial.

10:53 a.m. Judge says the case has to be charged based on admissible evidence. He says he’s required to apply the rules of evidence. Judge says nothing in Cody’s preliminary hearing testimony or what he said outside of the presence of the jury contradicts what he said on the stand in front of the jury. Judge says Cody did not change his testimony. Nester adamantly disagrees and says the defense should be able to impeach Cody. She moves to strike all of his testimony. Judge cuts her off, “Wait a minute, whoa!”


10:51 a.m. Cody is excused from the courtroom. Nester says this whole case is about a pill addiction and whether Eric voluntarily ingested a pill or was given it by his wife. Nester says this is a critical part of the case and wants to impeach Cody based on what he said in the preliminary hearing versus what he just said on the stand. Bloodworth says the state disagrees with everything Nester says, and any relevance to what happened in high school doesn’t play into the case. It was 20 years ago.

I have never seen such determined flogging of a dead horse.

state courts for over thirty years.

That was a huge waste of time.

Where the hell did they find their defense witness/"expert", that they've been waiting for "red devil' to enter the building? They want to day it's PCP.

What relevance, any of this??????
 
  • #3,256
Thank goodness witness released. This witness upset Nester, apparently.
 
  • #3,257
It's over.

Released.

How much of a case will the defense even put on?
