State v Bradley Cooper 04/04/11

[snowshuze]

Here's the hay.

 

[snowshuze]

Didn't pick it up/seize.

 

[gracielee]

Officer says, 'no, he didn't seize the hay'.

 

[snowshuze]

Went back in and didn't see hay. Didn't clarify if he looked , or not.

Asked him if he checked if the hay was there when he reentered the house. Said he did not.

 

[snowshuze]

<sigh> That ain't good.

Good morning. Welcome back Skittles!!

 

[snowshuze]

Mr Cooper wants to take a SHOWER?? <thud>

This is July 12th, right???

 

[gracielee]

I kinda think most of us here would have photographed the hay, sketched it on our notepad, signed and dated the note, etc.

 

[luckyme]

Did anybody collect the hay? We know this guy didnt. :innocent:

No, this was the 15th (I think)

That cop was correct in not collecting the hay! That wasn't his job. He saw it, more than once.

Another screwup IMO. Even if the hay didn't mean nothing, it wasn't documented or even mentioned to Daniels when he spoke to him again.

AND secured the perimeter.

Defense seems to be scoring on this officer's testimony. Straw/hay testimony was added to officer's notes 20 months later. Not good for prosecution.....not good for officer.

Actually for clarification, he only saw it initially entering the house. It didn't pay attention to it after the fact. He didn't let anyone know about it initially either.

I missed that as I was typing here. If that's true, that's huge.

Something about this officer and his testimony just grinds on me.

 

[FullDisclosure]

I honestly do not understand why the State called this witness. He has IMO not helped their case at all.

 

[SleuthyGal]

If he never bothered to mention it to anyone.... FAIL!
