Was BB held in custody while awaiting his trial, or was he out on bond pretrial? If in custody, how long was it between his arrest and start of trial? For some reason, to me, it seemed like it was pretty quick, at least relatively.

I know JM was (and is) in jail since her arrest.

He was arrested on 9/16/24 and has been in custody since.

Did they hit upon the made-up IRS meeting BB said was for his possible advancement ?
The non-existent meeting that was confirmed by witness T. Patrick Smith .

I am grateful Smith came forward to testify BB was lying. Jmooo.

Highlights from today:

BB: “I dropped to the ground and had to be taken to the hospital. I was scared for Christine.”
Defense: “Ok, let’s talk about windows”

CW: “Your wife had these 7 stab wounds in her neck but yet she’s able to chat with you?
BB: “Yes, her voice was a really horse though”

Defense: “Judge, may I ask one more question?
Judge: “No you’re done”

BB’s eye roll at his attorney at 6:15:53 when he reading thru the motion he’s about to present - did anyone else see that?

Why is Lisky still there hanging out there?

I agree that the CW’s cross was somewhat disappointing. Started out strong. I think they got their point across though.
