Hi folks

A big favor,, I just logged on, real life job kept me away all day. I promise to read back, but could someone give me a quick Reader's Digest version as to what happened this morning. Did the older 911 calls come in?

I promise to keep my questions to a minimum.

1:53 p.m.
Guy returns to questioning.

1:51 p.m.
Smith says sometimes her shift overlaps with that of her husband, who is also an officer.

She says the victim’s body was still located at the scene when she arrived and it was covered with a yellow medical blanket.

She describes a walk-through of the scene is when the officers walk her through and point out evidence she should be aware of before processing the scene.

West addresses Guy, and then asks to approach the bench.

Did she just say tea?

And I wonder if the defense will pick up the incorrect statement on that from a crime scene tech...

So far, BDLR hasn't questioned any witnesses. Did the state suddenly discover how abrasive and unlikable he is? Or did Corey decide he's an idiot?

How far is the body from the keys? She doesn't know. No measurements between items? Did I hear that right? No one did anything on the sidewalk where GZ's head was struck to find any blood?

"That is correct"
