LS indicated that she wanted to go forward with evidence collection of specimens from her body. She signed off on permission for the search warrant for samples. (Samples were being taken both for the SANE exam and the suspect evidence collection, the latter of which was covered by the warrant.) Between the suspect and SANE exams, LS left, ostensibly to get her daughter. The nurse assumed she would return.

For the suspect evidence collection, she took buccal swabs of LS's cheeks, fingernail scrapings, her blood, and photographs of her.

Opening a package now containing the buccal swabs and fingernail scrapings she took from LS to check them.

Said the rapist was a construction worker named Eguardo. Reported Gannon jumped on his back to try and defend her.

Claimed she had bathed or showered, and changed and washed her clothes.

Witness's impression about LS was that she had not bathed or showered recently, because LS's hair was very greasy, and she did not appear to have washed recently.

T’s most devastating moment thus far is the witnesses saying she had greasy hair.
Thank you.
Jmo.

Says rapist was waiting in their home. Attacked her in Gannon's room. Claimed her head was hitting the concrete. Witness documented LS's head with photographs. No objection. Photographs on screen now. No evidence of head trauma, visible to the eye (bruises, lacerations or marks) or tactile (bumps or swelling).

(Everyone smiles when they get told they get a pointer. Everyone. :D )

Sergeant Rosario Hubbell is the next witness to testify. In January 2020, he was assigned to the major crimes unit with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office.

Rosario described how the investigation evolved throughout the days, saying it began as a missing persons’s and runaway case.

He testified saying investigators “started to get a lack of cooperation from Mrs. Stauch who was the reporting party.” He said all the detectives who were available began working on this case.

Rosario said on February 3, 2020, investigators found blood evidence on the walls in Gannon’s bedroom, on an electrical socket, etc.

Some evidence was visible, and some evidence was not easily visible to the human eye. He said the carpet where Gannon’s bed was, was saturated, and there was a stain on the concrete when he pulled the carpet up.

Rosario said it appeared that the blood had been heavily cleaned up. Rosario said they then used a chemical to detect for iron and blood around the Stauch home and in Gannon’s room.

Investigators found iron/blood droplets in many areas of the home, including the garage floor, living room floor, laundry room, on a door handle, steps leading to the downstairs, the storage room floor, floor leading to Gannon’s room, etc.

In Gannon’s bedroom, dozens of blood evidence hits were found. They were found on the walls, on the carpet where his bed was located, on the concrete under the carpet, etc.

We also saw video taken from Sergeant Hubbell on February 25, 2020. He walks around the home and talks about where positive blood hits were found.

Defense is very sensitive to sane questions. Go figure ;)

This is all just what I was able to grasp from the testimony. Having a hard time focusing today, so I left holes in the testimony. Didn't record the actual fake rape story.

This witness is Amanda Van Nest, Forensic Nurse Examiner, UC Health Memorial Hospital. She has been a Forensic Nurse Examiner for 6 yrs. She sees patients that have been exposed to violence of some kind-- domestic violence, general criminal violence, rape, elder abuse, etc.,

On January 29th, she saw Letecia Stauch who came in in an ambulance complaining of chest pains and having been raped. Letecia had signed general HIPPA release form and Nurse Nest collected buccal swabs, fingernail scrapings, DNA blood, and examination of any wounds. (Swabs, etc., brought into the courtroom to be verified, but had to be refrigerated again right away.)

Happened on January 27th 2:45- a man named Edguardo raped her. While being raped, LS's stepson jumped on Edquardo's back. LS reported she bath and showered, LS changed her clothing and washed it. Nurse said, she didn't think LS did bath and shower because LS's hair was VERY GREASY.

There are
photographs of Letecia's injuries she reporting like hitting her head when being raped. They're being admitted. There's a photo of Letecia, and there were no lumps on her head or swelling, or bruising. Close up of the scalp, no wounds or bruising. (just greasy hair) Abrasion on left hand pointed out. Hardly see these injuries on the hands, like one near her pinky. LS said dog bite her on her middle finger of right hand. (but we all know she did an awful lot of cleaning.)

Not reporting any wounds or abrasions on Letecia's body. Another abrasion on her hands being reported... gee, Edguardo really hurt her hands. (said sarcastically)

I think I really heard this-- Letecia said maybe her daughter was waiting in the waiting room and she wanted her present when they took the other "invasive rape test kit collection". Letecia went to get her, and never returned.

Witness believes LS was sane.

And that's a wrap! Interesting day of testimony.

Appeared to be. Probably googling “how to pretend you aren’t revolted by your client”.
 
  • #637
Interesting to see the defence team upset at how that last testimony went. They better get used to that.

The greasy hair comment made me chuckle. Her hair always looks gross, IMO.

Left hand. Abrasion between pinkie and ring finger between knuckles. Abrasion below knuckle at the base of index finger.

I hope it was a Gannon bite.
