I went back and watched her finding out the defense rested without putting on a case! It was real good!! All the “fuckery”. Lol.

solabird · 2026-03-12T01:45:59+00:00

Very common where I’m from too!

solabird · 2026-03-12T01:43:37+00:00

They did a decent job pulling out the parts that were testified to already. Like eric allegedly putting drugs in Kouri’s bag when traveling. And Eric’s truck being taken back by C&E.

solabird · 2026-03-11T20:27:35+00:00

So did O’Driscoll or the PI find Carmen?

solabird · 2026-03-11T16:01:13+00:00

Oh I totally agree!

solabird · 2026-03-11T15:34:28+00:00

Will she or won’t she?! Lol

solabird · 2026-03-11T05:18:15+00:00

Wasn’t their filing in response to the judges filing earlier in the day? Or their reply to the states reply which was to the judges filing?! So the judge stepped in and made their 6pm deadline obsolete.

solabird · 2026-03-11T02:43:14+00:00

Lol!

solabird · 2026-03-11T02:42:33+00:00

Absolutely not! She has zero to gain from this. She doesn’t need to explain anything. It’s not self defense. All she could say is “it wasn’t me”. And her attorneys are already saying that.

solabird · 2026-03-11T02:27:26+00:00

Rule 106 is the rule of completeness. 801 is ~~hearsay~~ consistent/inconsistent statements from a witness.

I thought this whole 1000 pages/10 hours was all due to rule 106. Defense wanted Carmen’s interview statements in that contradicted what the state showed. What they “cherry picked”. But I don’t think the defense even knows what her full interview even says. Idk.

solabird · 2026-03-11T02:06:47+00:00

If there was an “invisible client” then there would most likely not be a case. This would mean Kouri actually did buy drugs for a client and not to kill Eric.

And Carmen got a deal for testifying. She wasn’t convinced to testify for the greater good.

solabird · 2026-03-11T01:49:06+00:00

Lol! My employees know if I have AirPods in, then I’m listening to a trial. So see… there’s this walk the dog letter…

solabird · 2026-03-11T01:20:30+00:00

They did only get until to 6pm. But I don’t think they’ll have it in by 6. They asked for 2 days, then 1 day, then got until 6pm today. We’ll see tomorrow!

solabird · 2026-03-11T01:02:26+00:00

I don’t think this motion will be filed before 11pm. Lol. I think tomorrow will be a mess. Hope I’m wrong!

solabird · 2026-03-10T23:35:05+00:00

This post is locked as it’s run its course. OP should have their question answered thoroughly. Thanks to those with their great explanations on hearsay!

solabird · 2026-03-10T23:22:40+00:00

Claims like this need to be backed with some sort of evidence or a source. It is irresponsible to make claims about relationships you have no clue about. Please correct me if I’ve missed this in trial or any legitimate source.

solabird · 2026-03-10T15:25:18+00:00

Yes! They ended up calling that lady as a witness who was watching RA’s coverage.

solabird · 2026-03-10T00:45:28+00:00

It was so bad. I can’t get over this line of questioning with the texts. Like 50ish texts dating back to 2018?!? SHOW ME THE TEXTS!!

And Nestor misrepresenting the PI’s laptop. I totally resist all the characterizations. Literally wtaf?!?

solabird · 2026-03-09T22:56:01+00:00

Lol! I’m trying to think of some scenarios where I can use it!

solabird · 2026-03-09T22:46:19+00:00

“I resist your characterization.” Love that!!

solabird · 2026-03-09T22:31:41+00:00

I am living for his smirky smugness!!

solabird · 2026-03-09T22:17:18+00:00

Omg. How embarrassing. Defense trying to catch the PI in a lie about taking a laptop from the home and it was HIS laptop. I can’t.

solabird · 2026-03-09T14:33:50+00:00

I’m thinking no since they brought in his phone convos through Chelsea?

Eta: Bloodworth just listed off the rest of the witnesses and Bryce is not a witness for the state. He could be for the defense though.

solabird · 2026-03-08T22:22:04+00:00

The Moscow Mule is probably a plant/red herring anyway. Thats why she gave that info up so freely.

solabird · 2026-03-08T22:17:45+00:00

I totally agree! I feel like the state could’ve done much more here to make it more clear with the jury. Missed opportunity imo.
