Note from juror 557

by Phil Tenser 5/18/2015 8:20:00 PM
Juror says Eliassen is a friend of the family

by Phil Tenser 5/18/2015 8:21:14 PM
Juror says she didn't recognize his name in the questionnaire

by Phil Tenser 5/18/2015 8:21:29 PM
Has anyone else noticed how drab Ms.Spengler's wardrobe is? I keep watching to see if she will wear a bit of color now and then.

by Barb 5/18/2015 8:21:29 PM
Juror says she has known Eliassen 5 or 6 years

by Phil Tenser 5/18/2015 8:21:42 PM
Uh oh. I think this juror has to be removed.

by Kristle 5/18/2015 8:23:00 PM
Juror 557 says Eliassen is a friend of her extended family

by Phil Tenser 5/18/2015 8:23:07 PM
Juror says knowing Eliassen would not affect her judgement

by Phil Tenser 5/18/2015 8:23:47 PM
Nah She will stay

by NT8 5/18/2015 8:24:44 PM
@Kristle, there's no need to remove her.

by Liz 5/18/2015 8:25:14 PM
@Barb, That has actually gotten to me so much that I attempted to look for closer up pictures of her to see if her looks match her clothing. I was not successful at doing that but yes, she looks professional at least!

by KP 5/18/2015 8:25:15 PM
King says that because Eliassen is an employee of the DA, he asks for the juror to be excused

Eliassen described as "senior investigator" for the DA. Edson says he is being called with limited purpose of introducing the "upcoming exhibit"

by Phil Tenser 5/18/2015 8:27:15 PM
King says Eliassen has done "extensive" interviews with the eye witnesses and expert witnesses.

by Phil Tenser 5/18/2015 8:27:37 PM
Really.. this one could be excused but the guy that was actually friends with a survivor witness gets to stay with little hassle

by tyfhdfh 5/18/2015 8:28:19 PM
Edson says they are calling Eliassen as foundation to a motorcycle depot invoice. Eliassen wrote on the invoice to note where it came from

by Phil Tenser 5/18/2015 8:29:07 PM
King drives me crazy!

by Suzanne 5/18/2015 8:29:09 PM
I was hoping the bald prosecutor would do the objection HAHAHA
