Good morning all

by sydnijmm 5/14/2015 2:36:58 PM
ooh, glad y'all are getting to this! i i left pretty early yesterday morning.. got a little rough there for a while. lol. i read through comments, but haven't gotten to watch playback yet and was wondering about the commentary on this ruling.

by sydnijmm 5/14/2015 2:40:21 PM
@syd...and tornadoes from what I hear. I am in Aurora - so we had 9" of snow on Sunday morning, and now it will be 72 today. Whiplash weather :)

by DocJ 5/14/2015 2:41:53 PM

Also, no court on Memorial Day

Pearson resumes direct examination with Maria Pettolina, the seat-by-seat bullet impact evidence

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 2:44:03 PM
@chess: I missed most of yesterday too.

by Barb 5/14/2015 2:45:10 PM
@doc, yes! tornado a couple weeks ago was about 20 miles from me and the one on sunday was about 60 miles away!

- Objection
403 due process objection again.

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 2:45:32 PM
Phil, do you know about how much more evidence we have to go with Ms. Pettolina?

by DocJ 5/14/2015 2:45:33 PM
@DocJ: No definitive answer, but it could potentially be a LOT. Remember we've heard from survivors up to row 17 so far. If you assume the seats up there had impacts, then we can expect to hear evidence climbing all the way up there

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 2:47:14 PM
First item today is in Row 11 Seat 7

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 2:47:26 PM
Now row 11 seat 8

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 2:50:03 PM
Wel, I think I will just crank the sound up to 11 and listen while I do chores then.

by DocJ 5/14/2015 2:50:04 PM
Good morning.

by KP 5/14/2015 2:50:06 PM
where's NT8? he is our score keeper!

by chess 5/14/2015 2:50:55 PM
I'm here, This is just very Mundane stuff again.

by NT8 5/14/2015 2:55:33 PM
This testimony is tedious. I wonder how the jury views it.

by Saira 5/14/2015 2:55:34 PM
Row 11 seat 13 now

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 2:55:40 PM
It looks like JH is admiring his "work".....

by Victoria 5/14/2015 2:57:59 PM
Yeah.. Maria said that it would get pretty boring and she knew that people would get bored

by MAS 5/14/2015 2:58:00 PM
This is Phil working here with Jon today and what we're trying to do is arrange to ID as many seats and overlapping survivors/victims as we can. We'll explain that during the 1st recess

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 2:59:30 PM
It was funny in class last night some of us classmates wrote on the board asking her to speak slowly... LOL

by MAS 5/14/2015 2:59:36 PM
Row 11 seat 16

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 3:00:39 PM
@Phil, Any chance some one can get an actual Picture of the stadium model After all this testimony? With all the seat marks?

by NT8 5/14/2015 3:03:34 PM
Pettolina marking model

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 3:03:50 PM
@NT8: Good question, I'd have to ask the lawyer for the media consortium, but it could fall under the "written" evidence ruling. I'll zap an email soon

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 3:04:28 PM
it seems like this may be the last of the really tedious testimony. we've done all the casings and weapons and now going over all the seats and impacts.. i'm probably wrong though. lol.

by sydnijmm 5/14/2015 3:04:29 PM
-_-

by KP 5/14/2015 3:04:30 PM
Row 11 seat 17 now

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 3:05:10 PM
Yes, she will be the last CSI investigator from APD to testify! There were only 2 of them to testify according to Maria

by MAS 5/14/2015 3:07:05 PM
@Phil, Would prefer an overhead shot looking down to show This officers marks. Just am looking for the spray pattern.

by NT8 5/14/2015 3:07:08 PM
@NT8: I just hit send on an email

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 3:07:18 PM
Row 12 seat 4 and 5

by Phil Tenser 5/14/2015 3:07:25 PM
Thanks Phil, It appears she is marking the actual seats not the seat backs.

by NT8 5/14/2015 3:08:28 PM
so far have all the seats had to be marked?

by sydnijmm 5/14/2015 3:09:46 PM
@MAS: I'm not sure I would be sharing too much info that she shared with you. I am hesitant to chime in what little information I have from the courts and I was released from this case early on.

- Judge's Order
Another overruled 403 objection
