@ Phil ok thank you! So that call was actually for Veronica then? That's so sad..

@Me-- The 911 operater thought that Caylin was saying her male cousin wasn't breathing, but Caylin was talking about Ashley (I think).

So how does Hailee Hensley relate to Veronica?

by Paige 5/19/2015 4:38:21 PM
@Paige I think she is a cousin.

CSI Faye Borquez IDing items recovered from the defendant's car

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 4:39:47 PM
@Paige, I think Hailee babysat Veronica

by Liz 5/19/2015 4:40:20 PM
@Liz: I think Kaylan Bailey was the babysitter, Hailee was a friend

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 4:40:35 PM
@Paige I don't think anyone really knows.

CSI Faye Borquez identifies loaded magazine

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 4:41:41 PM
@Phil, it's all so confusing but you could be right!

CSI Faye Borquez identifies insurance card for the car and spikes (road stars) found on the driver seat

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 4:42:16 PM
Admitting additional exhibits without objection

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 4:43:49 PM
@Liz, I'm in Eagle Creek, a little most west of Fronterra. By the super annoying railroad tracks!

by AJS 5/19/2015 4:44:31 PM
did JH have a job?

by RGmimi 5/19/2015 4:44:32 PM
Question: Can the Defendant's Mother be liable at all since She was Co- Owner of the car? Since the Car was used in the commission of the crime?

by Abrandt 5/19/2015 4:44:33 PM
Clip wrapped in tape found in driver door pocket (was used to keep door from latching)

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 4:44:34 PM
@Abrandt: No

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 4:44:40 PM
No additional questions, no cross for CSI Faye Borquez. Jury may have a question

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 4:45:09 PM
@ Phil Thanks, I know some states the owner is liable for anything that their car is used for, even if they had no participation or knowledge of the incident.

by Abrandt 5/19/2015 4:46:35 PM
Does anyone know or was it already determined what purpose JH had those spikes in his car? They called them road spikes so guessing he wanted to throw them around the black of the theater to hinder the police cars from getting to the scene during his shooting the theater so he could get as many people as possible.

by Kristle 5/19/2015 4:46:37 PM
@AJS, I feel sorry for you being so near those tracks! UGH!!

by Liz 5/19/2015 4:47:22 PM
@Kristle: No one has testified (or can testify) to what he intended since that would be speculation... but the DA could possibly suggest a reason during closings

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 4:48:05 PM
What a different scenario we would have if the exit door somehow locked out JH (his clip on the door not working), IMO he would have drove his car around the front and entered the theater, guns blazing.

by Kristle 5/19/2015 4:49:07 PM
@Liz, I know! Ugh, so frustrating sometimes. They finally made it a quiet intersection, so they can't blast their horns but the trains still sit at the crossing for a long time sometimes!!

by AJS 5/19/2015 4:49:32 PM
CSI Faye Borquez asked if front windshield was blacked out, or not as darkly tinted. She explains it was just the lighting in the photo

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 4:49:33 PM
CSI Faye Borquez explains the conical fragments are different because it is a full cover all in one piece.

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 4:50:13 PM
@AJS..I live in Buckley Ranch but I still hear the trains!

by Liz 5/19/2015 4:50:44 PM
- Cross-examination starts
Question from Spengler about date CSI Faye Borquez looked at the car (aug 3) clarifies others had searched the car first

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 4:50:50 PM
Prosecution asks to publish physical evidence to the jury

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 4:51:17 PM
One juror always adds "if you know" at the end of their question, I don't think the Judge is adding that, but could be wrong.

by Kristle 5/19/2015 4:51:32 PM
by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 4:51:58 PM
That would explain how the Spikes got moved from the rear seat to the Drivers seat.

by NT8 5/19/2015 4:52:01 PM
I'm torn on the poll question....part of me says yes but then again I don't think I'd want to hold those items.

by Liz 5/19/2015 4:54:30 PM
30 minutes of jury handling the evidence.

by NT8 5/19/2015 4:54:31 PM
What was the point of Spengler's question?

by Suzanne 5/19/2015 4:54:32 PM
It looks like JH is wearing a different color today! He always looks like he's wearing the same clothes all the time.

by AJS 5/19/2015 4:54:42 PM
I know one person on the Jury is a lawyer.

by Abrandt 5/19/2015 4:54:44 PM
what are the sheriffs up to?

by DocJ 5/19/2015 4:54:45 PM
@Phil, do you know how many witnesses had been called so far? It seems to be moving quickly.

by Liz 5/19/2015 4:54:47 PM
@Liz: Today we count 6

by Phil Tenser 5/19/2015 4:55:15 PM
@ Phil I don't think it's want situation about the bullets/fragments but necessary because it is evidence. Squeamish and gruesome but it's the truthful proof of the the crime.

by Abrandt 5/19/2015 4:55:16 PM
Can a juror refuse to hold an item of evidence passed around? Obviously they should at least look at it, but just wondering.

by Angela Freeman 5/19/2015 4:55:21 PM
@AngelaFreeman: good question, I'm not sure
