Wow! That escalated quickly. It’s obvious the daughter has suffered a lot of trauma in her life. So sad hearing her break down.

So what happened with the potential tampering with a witness issue(s)? Work got in my way and then life happened so I am not caught up??? It is going to surprise me if this does not end in a mistrial....at the very least all kinds of appellate issues. Judge Newman I miss you!!!!

Child of accused killer of Kenosha man testifies in court during homicide trial
The child of the Mequon man accused of killing a Kenosha man inside his apartment and then disposing of the body in spring 2020 testified Wednesday in the high-profile trial
Anderson and Beacham’s child, who the Kenosha News is not naming, said Anderson asked her to spy on her mother and record with a smartphone “every single time my mother would get upset” and would to try and get Beacham in trouble.
On the night of April 24 to April 25, 2020, the daughter said Anderson drove them both to Beacham’s residence in Germantown to spy on Beacham and Gutierrez, who were inside on the couch, through a window.
The girl said that night Anderson also went through Gutierrez’s truck and took a picture of his license plate and his registration before ringing Beacham’s doorbell and running back to his own vehicle and driving away.
On May 16, the day before prosecutors believe Gutierrez was killed, the girl said Anderson took her and her siblings to his family’s tree farm with his work van, the same van Anderson allegedly drove to a Saukville Walmart the morning of May 18, 2020, to purchase trash bags, cleaning wipes and gloves.
On Wednesday, the girl testified the van was not missing a portion of its carpet and did not have bleach stains on May 16 when she rode in it to the tree farm.
Investigators would later find a speck of a dried rust colored fluid that tested positive for Gutierrez’s DNA and evidence of scrubbing with bleach. The van also had portions of the interior carpet removed.
She also testified that Anderson had used a racial slur to describe Gutierrez in the past and implied that he would follow him.
“He said something about showing him who the man was, and I didn’t quite understand, but you kind of caught onto things that my dad was referring to or was implying,” the child said. “My dad said to me, he said ‘I may just watch him or follow him to his house one time just for the fun of it.’ Those were his exact words to me.”
Anderson is being held on a $750,000 cash bond at the Kenosha County Jail. He has been in custody since shortly after Gutierrez’s disappearance, initially charged with stalking.
The homicide charge was added in December 2020 after an investigation found evidence that indicated Anderson may have moved Gutierrez’s dead body in his van to another location.

Child of accused killer of Kenosha man testifies in court during homicide trial
The child of the Mequon man accused of killing a Kenosha man inside his apartment and then disposing of the body in spring 2020 testified Wednesday in the high-profile trial
The trial, now in its third week, has sparked headlines across the nation and social media. Judge Bruce Schroeder is presiding over the trial before a jury of eight women and five men, which includes one alternate.
The prosecution is led by District Attorney Michael Graveley who throughout the trial has argued Anderson killed Gutierrez out of jealousy and an obsession over his ex-girlfriend.
Defense attorney Nicole Muller has argued Kenosha Police failed to look at other possible suspects and prematurely zeroed in on Anderson based on claims made by Beacham.
Improper communication claimed
On Wednesday, someone made a complaint against Beacham alleging that she used sign language to communicate with her daughter instructions while she was on the stand. Beacham was called back to the stand and said she is somewhat fluid with American Sign Language.Beacham denied instructing with her child even though she had a sight-line to the child.
“My hands were below the pews,” Beacham said, adding that she could have mouthed “calm down” when her child was becoming “sassy” on the stand.
Schroeder also warned those in the court against texting or taking pictures.
The prosecution also questioned whether Anderson communicated instructions to his daughter while she was on the stand and reviewed a video of him allegedly tampering with the witness.

State has one more witness today when the court gets the wheels turning then plans to rest. After yesterdays mime hand and facial gestures with the defendant and state witnesses curious to see what pop's up today, look for circus balloons lol. The daughter bringing up being threatened with a pistol during her testimony also put the breaks on the trial, jurors were removed and both sides hashed over to have it stricken from the daughters testimony and any further mention of it. I got the feeling that the state wanted it left in which would play in their favor and the defense was the one who opened the door during their cross exam of the daughter. The defense IMO struggled with long drawn out questioning that left most including the Judge at times scratching his head. We will see who gets tossed out in the spectator seat's as well today, one tossed out yesterday due to flapping their gums. So settle in folks we still have a day of possible derailment and keep your eyes and ears peeled and I brushed up on sign language just in case lol. TOOT TOOT!.

Very surprised and they were dancing around it with their antics. The daughter did get a touch testy with the defense but who wouldn't with their confusing questions. I liked how the daughter held her own despite the defense trying to pull her down meaningless paths. Now I'm thinking more about the chainsaw's mentioned as well and took my mind down a path that maybe the chainsaw may have been used in the process of RG's disappearance.

Noticed that as well as they go over ZA's phone records, ZA may have learned his lesson after yesterdays meme show. I noticed an officer behind ZA as well today keeping an eye on him. There was a man who had been sitting several rows back behind ZA since the trial started, not seeing him now. Hoping to get a bigger pic of the courtroom today to see if this man just relocated to another bench along with seeing if spectator count has gone up.

Thought there was a slight resemblance and thought it may be an family member.
