Wow. Pat Reilly, attorney for #GabbyPetito's parents says, "By the way, the only reason Steven Bertolino (Laundrie family attorney) isn't a defendant in this case is because he's not a resident of Florida." @LawCrimeNetwork
Reilly says the Laundries acted as if they were sympathetic to #GabbyPetito being missing when they knew she was in fact dead at the hands of their son, #BrianLaundrie@LawCrimeNetwork
@LawCrimeNetwork Pat Reilly has 5 minutes left in his argument. He says he's not holding it against #BrianLaundrie's family that they hired Steven Bertolino to rep them. He says it's circumstantial evidence they knew BL had killed #GabbyPetito. @LawCrimeNetwork
Here's the lowdown of what happened in #JohnnyDepp v. #AmberHeard today: the hearing started with Elaine Bredehoft asking about a briefing schedule for post-trial/post verdict motions. Judge Azcarate said something to the effect of @LawCrimeNetwork
"We don't do that" and mentioned that EB has been practicing there for 20 years. EB wanted to schedule hearings. Judge Azcarate said "I've had this case for 18 months and we had a 6-week trial. We don't need a hearing." EB said "Your Honor can decide on the papers"
Judge A said, "absolutely." EB said something about the post-trial motion being ministerial. Judge A said "this judgement is final today... I'm putting final on the order." @LawCrimeNetwork
The #Rhoden and #Gilley murders, often called the Pike Co. Massacre, took place here 6 years and 2 months ago. That's how long I've been coming out here for this case. It's astounding @LawCrimeNetwork
@LawCrimeNetwork Canepa says most of the victims lived in Pike County (one trailer was maybe in Adams. The county lines are close) and it's part of a continuing course of conduct @LawCrimeNetwork
Nash objects to any attempt to amend the indictment. Judge Deering says "I'm not sure that's necessary." @LawCrimeNetwork
Now to Motion 85 to dismiss counts in indictment b/c case was charged in Pike County and many of the alleged offenses occurred in Adams and Scioto County. (Rita Newcomb's - Jake's g-ma- attorney tried this argument in her case. It didn't work). #PikeCounty@LawCrimeNetwork
FOR CONTEXT: Rita Newcomb had been charged with perjury and obstruction for lying to the grand jury. She agreed sometime ago to testify against her family members and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor @LawCrimeNetwork
@LawCrimeNetwork Special prosecutor Angie Canepa now arguing against Motion 85 and quoting the indictment about the venue. "Venue is not a material element. Venue and jurisdiction are different things." @LawCrimeNetwork
We were asked a question on the Lunch Show about threats of violence being made against #AmberHeard and whether this trial can be fair. I didn't get to say everything I wanted to say. So, here goes. I don't feel anyone should be threatening violence against anyone (cont) 1/4
I don't condone violence of any sort. This case is being litigated in a court of law. Trials are a search for the truth and jurors are the trier of fact. I understand the passion people feel about this case. But let the jury do its work. That said, 2/4
no one, and I mean NO ONE should be threatening violence against witnesses in this case. I am sickened and disgusted that that has happened. And trying to intimidate witnesses? You reap what you sow. Remember that. 3/4
Kraus says the DA's office got a call about the higher quality drone video when Lackowski was testifying. He said they gave what they believed was the full file to Ms. Wisco - it came in without objection @LawCrimeNetwork#KyleRittenhouse
Kraus: it was an exhibit for 4 days in court. They thought they gave Ms. Wisco full copy. He says they didn't change anything and provided it via Air Drop on her iPhone. We did not mean to give them a different copy. We didn't know it was different until Friday @LawCrimeNetwork
Kraus: I cannot explain why Ms. Wisco's file had been compressed. That is not something we can be held accountable for. The software on Ms. Wisco's phone compressed the file @LawCrimeNetwork#KyleRittenhouse
Defense up. Mark Richards starts by saying Binger lied. He says "this is my client's life. You don't play fast and loose with the facts." @LawCrimeNetwork#KyleRittenhouse
Richards: When my client shot Joseph Rosenbaum he feared for his life because of the prior threats @LawCrimeNetwork
Richards: "What you see ladies and gentlemen is people working in a mob." They're going to get their licks in on #KyleRittenhouse or as they see him, someone from the other side who has been putting out their fires @LawCrimeNetwork
