Distaso's Failure to Deliver/Misstatements in OS

[thinkaboutit]

Self explanatory - I'll start:

and the neighbors that live there, Amy Krigbaum and Tara Venable. He comes walking up the drive. They have been home the entire day. They will tell you that they woke up that morning at 10:30. Amy I think played hooky from work that day. Tara was off. And they have been home the entire day, just doing normal Christmas Eve stuff, getting ready for Christmas tomorrow. They were having some family over for dinner on the 24th, and they were getting that ready. And they will tell you that when he came up, the defendant asked them, he said, well, have you seen Laci today? You know, I can't find her. She said, well, no, we haven't. We have been home all day, and have been in and out of the front yard.......

.......They asked, why, what's going on? What's the problem? He told them, he said, well, you know, Laci is missing. She says missing? What do you mean?

Terra and Amie were not home all day - and they did not testify that he said Laci was missing.

She had gotten very dizzy, felt like she was going faint. This happened on three or four occasions. She was actually told by her doctor not to walk in the, not to take the dog for walks, not to exercise any more.

Happened twice? - not 3 or 4. Laci was not told to not take the dog for a walk or not to exercise anymore - she was told to walk later in the day after she ate.

Ralph Cheng is a hydrologist.....

.........He's going to tell you that based on where these two bodies drifted from, where they had to separate from, and where one ended up, and then the other one, he's going to tell you where his best scientific guess is where those bodies had to go into the water to start their journey to shore to separate based on the currents, and the wind, and everything else that he used to figure this out, where, I mean where they had to separate to land and end up where they did. And that was the area right there on the chart where the red dot is

Cheng could not track a trajectory for Laci - therefore does not know where they separated.

Doctor Cheng is going to tell you the way things wash up with the tide, as the tide's receding heavy items are deposited first. They come over with the waves. As the tides recede, the heavy items settle first, and then the lighter items settle last. As the tide recedes, you can see that's what happened. Here's Conner's body. Obviously heavier than these areas of sea grass, and what not, debris, trash. And he's right ahead of it.

Cheng never testified to any such thing....

Sorry folks - that's all I have time for right now.
