Here we go. Day 10 on the murder trial of Patrick Frazee. There’s a much larger national media presence here today, with closing arguments possible this afternoon. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee #KrystalKenney
ICYMI: Here’s our Day 9 Facebook live recap: facebook.com/SamKraemerTV/v…

#KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee #KrystalKenney @KOAA
I’ll share updates as we can on breaks and around lunch. We’ll plan for a Facebook live around 8:30 p.m. MT again. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee #KrystalKenney
We’ve heard powerful testimony from Jonathyn Priest, a well-known crime scene reconstruction and blood stain pattern analyst. He explains the documented blood stains are consistent with Krystal Kenney’s story. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee #KrystalKenney
He says the tiny spots of blood (less than 2-3 mm in size) are actually indicative and consistent with a large force striking a blood source. We saw body cam video of Kenney leading police through Berreth’s home and pointing out where she saw blood. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth
Kenney points out an arc on the east wall, where the TV is. She says it’s thicker toward the bottom. Priest says that’s consistent with a blood source low on the ground. He says blood spots high on the wall show it likely flew off the bat. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee
Also, in the video taken around 11:15 a.m. Dec. 21, Kenney is seen wearing a CBI agent jacket and hat. It seems like police wanted to conceal her identity that day. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee #KrystalKenney
Priest testified the blood stains on the floorboards are most significant, because they show a large pool of blood was able to sleep through the connection points. He says it could take up to an hour for blood to dry, depending on temp, humidity and volume. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth
DA Dan May had Priest examine a specific piece of the floorboard. Priest says it had two significant round indentations in it, which he says would be consistent with a wooden baseball bat striking the ground. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee
Next, we heard from a former Teller County inmate. The DA’s office requested we not share his name out of fear of prison retaliation. We are honoring that request. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee #KrystalKenney
He says after Frazee learned he was in a prison gang, Frazee sought his help on taking out witnesses, including Krystal Kenney & her family, Chad Lee, CBI Agent Gregg Slater, Michelle Stein, Joseph Moore and more. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee #KrystalKenney
The man kept notes he says Frazee wrote to him. Slater identified the handwriting as Frazee’s. Frazee talks about “just kidnap them until Nov. 22” and that there’s open space near Kenney’s home. “She could just disappear before trial,” he says. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth
Another note from Frazee says he’s not a criminal but “this planning and talking gets my blood flowing”. In exchange, the man says Frazee helped him bond out of jail. Frazee’s notes said they could “do a lot of shit together”. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee
The notes show Frazee giving information on where Kenney, Chad Lee and Joseph Moore all live. He also provides suggestions for getting rid of them. He says Kenney would be close to her kids. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee #KrystalKenney
On cross, Adam Stiegerwald points out this man only comes forward as the trial is underway & that me just met with the DA’s office on Monday. He notes the man wanted to sell the notes on eBay, citing Frazee’s fame. He also sought a plea deal @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee
He did not get a plea deal for multiple charges in different counties. Instead, the DA’s office said they would help to get the cases resolved in one county. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee #KrystalKenney
The evidence was admitted on the sole basis of establishing Frazee’s consciousness of guilt. It was a turn I did not see coming. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee #KrystalKenney
The state, by the way, still hasn’t rested it’s case. I’d be surprised if we get to closing statements today. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee #KrystalKenney
This was probably the most graphic of the notes (warning). It read: “I would really like to see Krystal with a bullet in her head. Piss and sh*t on her face. F****ng dirty c**t a** b***h.” #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee #KeystalKenney
The state has rested its case. Judge Scott Sells again advised Frazee of his rights to testify and remain silent. Frazee chose to remain silent. The defense then rested without calling witnesses. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee #KrystalKenney
Though both rested their case, we will not have closing arguments today. That’s because the judge and both attorneys are still deciding on jury instructions. The defense is seeking lesser charges. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee #KrystalKenney
The judge will allow the jury to consider second-degree murder and manslaughter charges *IF* Frazee is found not guilty of first-degree murder. @KOAA #KelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee #KrystalKenney
