We are on a short break after a sidebar. The judge asked the prosecution how much time they need and they said a few minutes.

   McFarlane is asking Nolen about "cast off," which is a type of blood spray.

Nolen said he saw splattered blood at the scene and not "cast off" blood where Teresa Sievers' body was found.

He is being asked about how blood is splattered vs. cast off

   Nolen said there was no indication Teresa Sievers was killed anywhere except the kitchen.
   
   No indication the victim was not bludgeoned to death, the detective said.

   There was no blood on the ceiling or walls of the kitchen where Teresa Sievers was found, Nolen said when asked by McFarlane.

Nolen said he was surprised there wasn't blood cast off on the ceiling, but the blood splatter and pooling were consistent with her injuries.

Nolen is released from the witness stand.

Looks like she was brutally attacked laying down after the first few blows. Over kill on a defenseless woman.

The next prosecution witness is called to the stand. It's Kevin Stout, of the Lee County Sheriff's Office.

He is the digital forensic supervisor and has been with the sheriff's office since 2003.

Can someone take over for an hour? I need to do a quick errand..

His department recovers evidence from computer and cell phones, he said. Stout is a certified forensic computer examiner and trained in cellphone data recovery.

There are four more witnesses in the back that are expected to testify this morning, Assistant State Attorney Hamid Hunter said. Now we are on a break so the defense and prosecution can work through evidence issues.

Things are moving a lot slower today compared to yesterday. It seems like Judge Kyle is hoping to get all of these evidence issues resolved at once.

the judge did not look happy that they are still dealing with the evidence issues

I bet the jury isn’t too happy either. Seems like this should have been done pre-trial.

I agree, but that doesn’t seem to match the State’s story from their opening statement. I think that’s what the defense was trying to show.

We are back from break and Kevin Stout, a digital forensic supervisor with the Lee County Sheriff's Office, is back on the witness stand.

Jury is not back in the courtroom yet. The defense is objecting to certain evidence from the state.

Looks like we are going on break again, while the judge weighs a decision on the evidence issues. Assistant State Attorney Cynthia Ross said Stout has about 15 more minutes of testimony to give.

We are back on break. Here's another photo from @ricrolon
This one is of Kevin Stout, a digital forensic supervisor with the Lee County Sheriff's Office, testifying earlier this morning.

Is the courtroom open to the public? It doesn't look like many people are in there.
