We also have Suzanne's list she had on her phone. She listed physical abuse. Surely that would be admitted?
IANAL but I think the list will be admissible, as well as the text SM sent her sister Melinda on Friday morning, 5/8/20, a mere day before she was ‘disappeared’, in which she said BM was physically and emotionally abusive.
Jumping off your post-
Regardless of what BM did with/to SM’s phone, he couldn’t get rid of/destroy her phone records aka Suzanne’s digital trail- her text to Melinda Friday morning mentioning BM physical and emotional abuse, her 50 things list which also mentioned abuse, and her text messages with SO which even though they didn’t mention specific acts of BM abuse and when, imo they clearly show SM’s state of mind and that she was fearful of BM, and her “I’m done, let’s do this civilly” text to BM on 5/6/20 is huge and goes to motive. Nobody leaves Barry! and takes 1/2 HIS money. SMH. Judge Lama said the texts will be admissible so fortunately they have her digital records all in SM’s own words with dates and time stamps. And I believe SO can still be called to testify at trial. I’m sure the DC will be objecting left and right during SO testimony and attempt to rip her to shreds on cross examination, and also discredit SM while they’re at it- SM is clearly a liar because she didn’t tell you about the affair. SMDH.
It’s really too bad SM’s journal wasn’t able to be recovered. I bet it contained a treasure trove that didn’t reflect well on BM. He destroyed/burned that journal for a reason!
SM digital data in addition to BM’s many statements to investigators which imo are not considered hearsay and likely admissible are a big problem for Team BM. As well as many other things like his fake work alibi on Sunday, multiple trash dumps at different locations to include dumping tranq materials, his own digital data-putting phone on airplane mode, deleted messages, lying about where he was when he got the call from Ritter, lying and saying he was sleeping all night, got up at 4:30am and left the house and a sleeping Suzanne at 5am when his phone data and truck telematics show otherwise. And the glaring fact that Suzanne and her digital footprint went dark coinciding with BM arrival home Saturday afternoon, BM admittedly running around the property gun in hand and SM never heard from or seen again. I’m sure there’s other things that that I’m forgetting atm but suffice to say there’s a mountain of problems facing Team BM. Also, just because DC says the prosecution didn’t turn over evidence, doesn’t make it true. Iirc, the prosecution handed over 10,000 pages of discovery and a terabyte of data! That’s a lot of information, to say the least. It could be the DC has it but missed/can’t find it. I’m remembering the DC saying they were having trouble opening up some of the files prosecution sent them, something to that effect. Anyway it should be easy for the prosecution to prove they handed over whatever DC is claiming they didn’t. Actually, I believe at one of the previous hearings when DC was claiming they didn’t get some discovery items, someone on the prosecution team Lindsey? Hurlburt? addressed it with Judge Murphy and said something to the effect, that’s just not true Judge, we have handed everything over to them. I’m too tired to look it up atm, so moo.
And let’s not forget what Sheriff Spezze said when BM was arrested on 5/5/21, that the investigation is still ONGOING, so we don’t know what LE/DA may have recovered since BM’s arrest. IMO, the prosecution have not and will not reveal their whole hand prior to trial. Having said that, maybe prosecution have one, or two, or ??? ‘surprises’ stored up for trial. Two and a half months and counting….
