I wondered that myself. It seems as though she's a bit more confident than she was at the start of the trial, but when Al gets emotional, she ducks her head and seems to be wiping at her face. It could be nervousness or she could be wiping away tears. If it's tears, I feel as though she want to hide that by wiping her whole face and not just her eyes, nose. etc.

It's foggy for me for sure due to length of time but Al's comments about the bed being moved out from the wall is what made me wonder. She had to move the bed to clean up the blood so why was it already moved out from the wall when the pics were taken?
Just thinking outloud and wondering why the bed was moved, and a blanket on the bed that Al said wasn't Gannons and was not normally on the bed. It sounds like the whole thing was staged, for what she was about to do. To me, that blows "insanity" out of the water.

Did Gannon actually spill wax or burn the carpet the night before? Is that what precipitated the attack?

COURT BACK
Al said there were sexual harassment claims that led Al and Letecia to move to Colorado from Alaska. Letecia raised sexual harassment claim based on a comment Al's captain made. Another sexual harassment claim based on a conversation a Colonial and Letecia had.
Al said Letecia informed the Alaska National Guard of a complaint with sexual harassment. Al said this caused issues within his unit and led to his eventual transfer from Alaska to Colorado.
Al said Letecia told him she was pregnant with twins while he was in Alaska. He said he's confident she never went to the doctor. She never had twins.
DA Allen: Did #LeteciaStauch tell you she was pregnant with twins Al: Yes sir DA Allen: Was that a form of manipulation? Al: Yes
Al said #LeteciaStauch filed two burglary claims in 2019. She pointed to a hammer hanging from a string in the garage. She referred to it as a squatter but Al said no one was ever found.
In one of the 2019 break-in allegations, Al said an ammo can was dumped over and their room was a little messed up and Letecia said this was a sign someone broke into their house.
Al said she fired a gun out of a window well in their home on another occasion. He didn't find a bullet casing.
Al describing the multiple guns he kept in the home.
Al said #LeteciaStauch admitted to Al she made up the burglary claims in 2019. "She finally admitted to making up the claims to the break-ins."
In Al's mind, he says the made up break-ins were attempts at Letecia trying to manipulate him.
Al said Letecia suggested Gannon get into counseling. She made a claim he was coming after, and counseling may help with that. Additionally, she brought up that he was a mommas' boy and counseling would help with the separation from his biological mom.
Al said Letecia was closer to Laina than she was to Gannon. Al said he "absolutely does not" think Gannon "had it out" for Letecia.
Al said Letecia had conflicts with Principal at French Elementary school where Letecia worked. Al says Letecia would tell him she felt she was more educated than the principal.
Al says Letecia claimed she got injured at French Elementary school. That a bookshelf fell and hit her head. He didn't see signs of injury and thought it was another manipulation tactic.
Late 2019-2020 Al said Letecia was pursuing employment with Spirit Airlines. He says she went to Orlando for Spirit Airlines training after Christmas 2019 and it was a short trip.
Al's mom was in town for a week right before Gannon's disappearance and murder. Al said his mom stayed at the house when she visited. Al and Letecia were not getting along well during the visit.
Last time Al saw Gannon alive was January 25th. "Me and Gannon were at the top of the stairs and I ran my hands through my hair and I told him I love you like I always did.
Al says he remembers his last words shared with his son in person like it was yesterday. "You are always going to be in my heart and I will always be in your heart," Al said to Gannon. "He said I love you Dad and I am going to watch Pokemon."
Al said Letecia told her Gannon had threatened or came out her with a life. "I never saw threats out of Gannon, knife or no knife." This was right before Al got Gannon into counseling in 2019 after Letecia suggested it.
Al said Letecia wanted to "be like Kim Kardashian." "A good way to sum it up was she always wanted to live above her means.”
Al is talking about an extra large green suitcase they had in their storage. He says it's the same one he recognized in the photos under a bridge.
While talking about the suitcase, I'm looking at #LeteciaStauch on the feed. She's resting her face on her fist and rubbing her face.
We're hearing Letecia and Gannon on video. Letecia recording herself asking Gannon "Are you sure you didn't do it on purpose?" Gannon is crying in this recording and you can hear he is upset.
Al refers to that recording with Gannon heard crying. "Those are the last words I ever heard Gannon speak”
Al said Letecia texted him pictures on Monday, Jan 27th, 2020. Al describing the pictures showing Gannon in his bed that morning.
"There were a couple of things I noticed that were different." Al said his bed was pulled away from the wall and that was abnormal. He doesn't remember one of the blankets captured on Gannon's bed normally being there.
Prosecution playing video showing Gannon in Hawaii.
Al describing searching for Gannon.
Al said he heard there was a sighting of Gannon at a gas station. Al and Letecia went to that gas station and saw footage from gas station. It was not Gannon but another boy on the footage.
Al said he went around the French Elementary School parking lot three times to look if Letecia's car was there like she told him. He did not see that car.
"That was the key moment when I switched. She knows more than she's telling me." Al describing the moment he realized her car wasn't at French. He said he went to the Sheriff's office about it.
Al describing stories Leteica told him following Gannon's disappearance. Al said Letecia said she was raped and Gannon got burned by the rapist. Al said he asked Letecia "where is the bloody mess" and she said she cleaned it up because she got scared.
Al said he was directed to go to the FBI's office to give background history of his and Letecia's relationship. "From that it turned into pretext phone calls. I would get on a call with the defendant when I was in the FBI office and was given directions on what to say.”
On some of these recorded calls, Al said you can hear people whispering to him.
Some of the calls are long, DA Allen said ones' an hour and fifteen minutes. Judge says DA will admit them now and play some after lunch break.
Judge is sending jury on lunch break early. At 1:20 pm, he says that we will be hearing the recorded phone calls between #LeteciaStauch and Al, one after another.

Yeah, she seems to be the most affected when Al talks about finding out her lies or when he gets upset. I haven't noticed any sign of her being upset when they talk about poor little Gannon.

That's right because didn't the defendant send them to Al saying he was home from school sick? We know he's still alive, although injured, because we see him walking to the truck from the house later.

I don't think they've covered that yet, but I keep thinking his burns were pretty serious. I'm guessing she burned him badly, which is why he was worried about the burns. They probably hurt like hell.
I doubt he did anything with a candle at all.
JMOO
You took the words right out of my mouth!
I think he has shown she is very in control of her actions, she plots and enacts in order to get her way. She manipulates every aspect and all the players in her game. JMO

Al talking about leaving Gannon and Letecia for that final time. On Saturday night, Al said drove his mom to the airport and then stayed at the airport and slept on his bag since he was flying out the next day. When he left he said Letecia, Gannon and Laina were home.
Talking about the carpet cut out. He said Letecia said there was "an accident" and a candle spill. He believes it was Jan. 26th, 2020. That would have been the day before Gannon's reported disappearance.
Exhibit 21 walking into Gannon's room. Al describing his bed, the table he built for Gannon.
Al was in Oklahoma, he was scheduled to be there two weeks. Just got out of class and back in his hotel room when he said him and Landen "started the conversation" about how Gannon hadn't come home in time for when the street lights when down.
"I was in Oklahoma so I was relying and trusting her. She said he hadn't been home yet from a friends.”
Al said Letecia told him on the 27th, Gannon did not go to school because he was having stomach issues and was sick. Which Al said was "weird" in his my mind. "I was like why is he going to a friends house if he was sick." Al said that seemed “out of the ordinary”
27th, as soon as Al decided Gannon was missing he said he called travel people and said he needed an emergency ticket home from Oklahoma. Got back the next morning.
Al says Letecia told him she called 911 about Gannon. Al said he had contacted numerous friends parents in the neighborhood. He said none of Gannon's friends parents had seen him. "That's when it became an issue.”
Al said Letecia had mentioned a new friend he hadn't heard of that Gannon was potentially hanging out with. "Things starting compounding and becoming more worrisome."
Al said Letecia picked him up from the airport when he came home after learning of Gannon missing. He said she typically drove a Volkswagen Tiguan but picked him up in a rental car. He thought that was unusual.
Al said Gannon's biological mom Landen flew to Colorado when hearing about her son's disappearance. Al said Letecia got mad at Al for having Landen in their house while Gannon was missing.
Al: "I didn't see a need for tension because there's a little boy missing and we all need to fight together at that point."
Al said within the first week of Landen arriving to search for her missing son, Letecia started taking some of her belongings out of their home. There was "tension" Al describes with Letecia stemming from having Landen there to search for Gannon.
Al says Letecia and her daughter Harley moved out of the Lorson Ranch home the week Gannon went missing.
Al says he, Letecia and Harley all their own cell phones. Gannon and Laina had a "kids" phone.
Law enforcement got access from Al to the "kids" phone during the investigation.
Al's car at the time was a red Nissan Frontier truck. Harley, Letecia's daughter, had a white Volkswagen. Letecia had a black Volkswagen Tiguan.
Al said Letecia told him her reasoning for picking him up from the airport in a rental car was that she had a lease and since they would be doing a lot of searching for Gannon, she didn't want to use up all of her miles.
Al: "In these moments when it's an emergency, things like miles on your car don't matter...in the moment i'm like whatever do what you want but it didn't make any sense.”
Al asked her how did she get to the airport if she has a rental car. She told him she parked it at French Elementary school where she worked and a coworker took her to the airport. Al said he went to French Elem. to look for her car and he did not see the car.
When asked about the relationship between Gannon and Letecia. Al said he would call it trusting. "I’m comfortable in saying he had trust for her in his heart." He said Gannon was a mama's boy and absolutely loved his mom. "I could see some of that love for Letecia too.”
Al commissioned to the National Guard in June 2016.
Letecia and Al bought a house in Myrtle Beach, SC
In 2019, Al was transferred to Colorado from Alaska. Al says he filed for custody in 2017, before he left for Alaska.
Al says Letecia and him got in an argument in 2017 over him taking a national guard job in Alaska. They lived together in SC at the time. On day he was supposed to leave for Colorado for training in 2017, she threw all of his stuff in the yard Al said.
Al calls that period in 2017 with Letecia "tough times"

In one of the 2019 break-in allegations, Al said an ammo can was dumped over and their room was a little messed up and Letecia said this was a sign someone broke into their house.
Al said she fired a gun out of a window well in their home on another occasion. He didn't find a bullet casing.

Late 2019-2020 Al said Letecia was pursuing employment with Spirit Airlines. He says she went to Orlando for Spirit Airlines training after Christmas 2019 and it was a short trip.
Al's mom was in town for a week right before Gannon's disappearance and murder. Al said his mom stayed at the house when she visited. Al and Letecia were not getting along well during the visit.
Last time Al saw Gannon alive was January 25th. "Me and Gannon were at the top of the stairs and I ran my hands through my hair and I told him I love you like I always did.
Al says he remembers his last words shared with his son in person like it was yesterday. "You are always going to be in my heart and I will always be in your heart," Al said to Gannon. "He said I love you Dad and I am going to watch Pokemon."
Al said Letecia told her Gannon had threatened or came out her with a life. "I never saw threats out of Gannon, knife or no knife." This was right before Al got Gannon into counseling in 2019 after Letecia suggested it.
Al said Letecia wanted to "be like Kim Kardashian." "A good way to sum it up was she always wanted to live above her means.”
Al is talking about an extra large green suitcase they had in their storage. He says it's the same one he recognized in the photos under a bridge.
While talking about the suitcase, I'm looking at #LeteciaStauch on the feed. She's resting her face on her fist and rubbing her face.
We're hearing Letecia and Gannon on video. Letecia recording herself asking Gannon "Are you sure you didn't do it on purpose?" Gannon is crying in this recording and you can hear he is upset.
Al refers to that recording with Gannon heard crying. "Those are the last words I ever heard Gannon speak”
Al said Letecia texted him pictures on Monday, Jan 27th, 2020. Al describing the pictures showing Gannon in his bed that morning.
"There were a couple of things I noticed that were different." Al said his bed was pulled away from the wall and that was abnormal. He doesn't remember one of the blankets captured on Gannon's bed normally being there.

Al describing searching for Gannon.
Al said he heard there was a sighting of Gannon at a gas station. Al and Letecia went to that gas station and saw footage from gas station. It was not Gannon but another boy on the footage.
Al said he went around the French Elementary School parking lot three times to look if Letecia's car was there like she told him. He did not see that car.
"That was the key moment when I switched. She knows more than she's telling me." Al describing the moment he realized her car wasn't at French. He said he went to the Sheriff's office about it.
Al describing stories Leteica told him following Gannon's disappearance. Al said Letecia said she was raped and Gannon got burned by the rapist. Al said he asked Letecia "where is the bloody mess" and she said she cleaned it up because she got scared.
Al said he was directed to go to the FBI's office to give background history of his and Letecia's relationship. "From that it turned into pretext phone calls. I would get on a call with the defendant when I was in the FBI office and was given directions on what to say.”
On some of these recorded calls, Al said you can hear people whispering to him.
Some of the calls are long, DA Allen said ones' an hour and fifteen minutes. Judge says DA will admit them now and play some after lunch break.
Judge is sending jury on lunch break early. At 1:20 pm, he says that we will be hearing the recorded phone calls between #LeteciaStauch and Al, one after another.
