#LeteciaStauchTrial
Letecia is sitting in between her lawyers today as her daughter testifies.
Harley says it was her mom's idea to want to move to Colorado. She said there was an incident that had happened but she didn't know too much about it.
Harley talking about living in Colorado "It started to feel like we were family again because everyone was there and we were together."
Harley getting emotional talking about how Letecia and Al would argue while living in Colorado. She says her mom would ask her opinion on it when they would fight. "I just said I don't want to be a part of this.”
Harley is now talking about Jan 26th, 2020. Harley was not supposed to work, but got called in to work at Massage Envy.
Harley said she was supposed to go on a hike that Sunday with her mom, Gannon and Laina but got called into work. Her mom told them they still went and sent her pictures.
Harley was just given a book of text messages between she and her mom
#leteciastauch from Jan 25th-Jan 29th, 2020
Jan. 26th, Harley says she is still at work. She's getting text from Letecia telling her that Gannon dropped a candle and it started a fire. Prosecutor is reading a text from Letecia to Harley saying "he is fine, he is scared”
Harley says she was at work, she was confused what was going on and got worried the dogs were set on fire. "None of the texts were really clear, they were confusing at first."
Letecia in text, clarifies that they dogs were okay and that she and Laina grabbed them.
Harley asks Letecia on text what happened with Gannon and the candle.
Letecia had texted Harley that he (Gannon) must have knocked it over while he was asleep unless he was awake and lied. "But he acted sorry for sure.”
Harley says she clocked out between 10 and 10:30 that Sunday night and went home. "I get home and mom and Laina are in the living room and they're telling me about the fire. Gannon wasn't upstairs at this point."
"She had told me the Gannon had been knocked over, she thinks he was playing on his Nintendo and wasn't supposed to be and maybe that's how it got knocked over.”
Letecia told her they had gone outside and she called a firefighter friend to make sure it was safe that they could go back in. "She said that when they were in the street that Gannon was screaming that he hates his life and screaming different things"
Harley said that Gannon doesn't normally say things like that. She didn't think it was a big deal and that Al usually doesn't make big deals out of things.
Harley said she and her mom went downstairs that Sunday night to tell Gannon goodnight. "Not something she'd (Letecia) normally do." They both went down there but Harley didn't go in his room.
Harley said she slept upstairs that night because it was cold downstairs and you could still smell the fumes. Gannon was the only one sleeping in the basement that night. "My mom made the comment Gannon is acting weird, I don't know what's wrong with him.”
Court is taking break until 10:45 am.
