JONES RETRIAL: Witness sentenced after courtroom outburst

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO/KJCT)-- A witness in a local murder trial was sentenced Friday after being charged with contempt of court during a major murder trial.

Carolyn Linderholm, a friend of Birgfeld, took the stand to testify Thursday. She reportedly helped with Birgfeld's Models Inc. escort business.

As she was leaving the courtroom, she looked at Jones, and called him a murderer.

She was sentenced to 24 hours of useful community service, according to the judge.

Before the outburst, the jury heard testimony from law enforcement about phone records obtained from Paige and others in the days leading up to the Grand Junction mom’s disappearance in 2007.

The jury saw logs showing who called her, who she called and where she was when those calls were made.
 
Who were the two clients she went to see that night? Are they both in that same area?

On Wednesday, the prosecution rested their case, after two weeks of presenting witnesses to testify before the court. The defense was able to call certain witnesses during that time, in order to accommodate people’s schedules, but they began formally presenting their case on Wednesday afternoon, and will continue calling witnesses on Thursday.
 
One was John Livingston at Motel 6, who left a phone message, 'where are you?' at around 10:30pm? and who was the other?


Investigators Detail Final Moments Leading Up To Birgfeld’s Death

The first number Birgfeld called on June 28, 2007 before returned to Grand Junction from Eagle was Jones’ Tracfone.

The second number she called was Timothy Zotto, who has been alibied by police. The third number she called was John Livingston at Motel 6.

Investigators believe it is logical that Birgfeld would have set client appointments in the same order she returned their phone calls, Jones first and then Livington at Motel 6

What are the thoughts now as to verdict on Jones. I believe Jones probably did the murder but no way to really prove it. I have watched approx 90% of trial and believe I would have to vote NG if I were a juror

I agree and that's the way a juror explained it after the first trial. They weren't compelled by the alternative suspects the defense introduced and they believed Jones was most likely responsible. Unfortunately, the prosecution just couldn't prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt.
 
Hoping beyond hope justice will be served for Paige but I'm not confident at all on the prosecutions presentation. Praying the jury have enough to lock that animal up! :notgood:
 
Praying real hard Jones will be found guilty and is sentenced to LWOP. I have followed this case for years and have always believed him to be guilty as sin.
I feel so bad for Paige and her family and children, especially her father. :hug:

Oy vey, I guess the court doesn't allow the defendant to be called names. I guess it's a good thing they cannot read our minds.

After reading posts from JusticeWillBeServed, LexR and DaleTray, I hope and pray y'all are wrong, even though y'all are making sense.
Too bad he cannot just be stoned to death, as good riddance is in order.





 
What are the chances he will get another hung jury? If so can they charge him again with something else ? I just pray for justice either way.
