Now state is talking to Burch about what he did when he got home, after pushing Detrie, running and getting away. Burch says he took a shower, washed his clothes because they had 'Nikki's blood on them' and then went to his room. #BurchTrial

Jurors introduced to human side of George Burch, man accused of murdering Nicole VanderHeyden

"GREEN BAY — Jurors got their first chance this morning to get to know George Burch, the man accused of beating and strangling Nicole VanderHeyden to death in May 2016.

Burch began testifying in his own defense just after 11 a.m. and, right up to the noon lunch break, took jurors on the journey of his life from his childhood in Newport News, Va., to his arrival in Green Bay in early 2016 with only one friend here and no possessions but some clothes, two pairs of work shoes and a pair of Air Jordan basketball shoes...."

Accused Murderer George Burch’s Testimony Ends in Tense Cross-Examination

"...The prosecution didn’t buy this [Burch's] story, and this resulted in a pretty hostile cross-examination. Burch, who normally spoke in a friendly tone, grew visibly angry, and raised his voice....
The questioning grew so heated that the judge advised calm.

“It’s a stressful situation for everyone, Mr. Burch,” the judge said...."

Analyst says Google data places Burch at scene of murder

"...Tyler Behling gave a timeline of Burch's movements and mapped out his locations during the time of Nicole VanderHeyden's murder. Scroll down to read about Behling's testimony.

Before resting their case, prosecutors presented evidence from a Fitbit and Google Dashboard at day seven of the Burch murder trial.

Fitbit evidence is a new frontier in murder cases. It's drawn national media to Green Bay....

Burch's defense team is pointing the finger at Nicole VanderHeyden's boyfriend, Douglass Detrie. Detrie was arrested after the murder but released due to lack of evidence, investigators say.

The prosecution said Detrie's Fitbit data shows he was sleeping at the time of the murder. The state wanted sleep-monitoring data to be included in the trial. Burch's defense asked the judge to throw it out, saying the evidence is unreliable. The defense cited lawsuits filed against the company for inaccuracy of sleep and heart rate data.

Judge John Zakowski agreed to exclude the Fitbit sleep-monitoring data from trial. The state will be allowed to present step-counting data...."

I watched George Burch on the stand yesterday. He either tells a great story or is perfectly innocent. He was so cool and collected on the stand, and very believable. I'm not sure at this point who the killer is.
 
I feel the same way Mom- very believable and I was just listening to him- not watching all the time because I was collecting tweets. I kept on thinking to myself- "this man is telling the truth". I don't know what to think. I don't envy the jurors the job deliberating- did he murdered Nicole or did Doug Detrie do it? I don't know about that fitbit and how reliable that is as an alibi for Mr. Detrie. And it could have been off of his body?

Think I'm gonna watch Detrie's testimony again.

ETA: Just rereading this summary : https://www.thedailybeast.com/fitbi...oogle-could-send-another-to-prison-for-murder
 
I was not bamboozled in any way. He tripped over his own anger under questioning and imo, he's guilty. His story isn't plausible.
 
Maybe I am bamboozled...I just don't know....

So what do you think? Could be hung jury or guilty

Judge Zakowski says the jury is asking for George Burch's GPS and time stamp data ,as well as crime lab reports from one of the crime lab analysts, specifically analyst Scott. (He was the one who talked about finding enough DNA on VanderHeyden's sock to link to Burch) #burchtrial

Judge Zakowski says we will bring jury in, go through questions and talk about how the court will give them some exhibits, but deny them others-- forcing the jury to rely on their own memory. #burchtrial Again, we will not be livestreaming this.

Ben Krumholz WLUK@BenKrumholzWLUK

Sounds like a handful of the requests will be denied, including the Fitbit charts. Jurors will be allowed to look at the cords. It is difficult to hear reasoning, however. We are in media room, which doesn't have audio because jurors are not in court. #BurchTrial

#BurchTrial - The judge is not allowing live streaming of the jury questions/answers, even if jury is present.

Zakowski says there are legal reasons for not providing jurors with Fitbit evidence to look at. He says they'll have to rely on memory. #BurchTrial

Zakowski says the court is unsure what specific evidence jurors are looking for when it comes to Burch's GPS coordinates and times, but would allow them to watch video that provides information. #BurchTrial

Judge Zakowski has said the DNA reports and Detrie’s Fitbit records cannot be sent to the jury for legal reasons; the various cords and a video of Burch’s google locations will be sent to them #BurchTrial @RobynOguinye – at Brown County Courthouse

Judge Zakowski is asking the bailiff to take his response back to the jury room. That's it for these questions. Judge Zakowski has left the courtroom and we all go back to waiting as the jury continues to deliberate. #burchtrial

A relatively empty courtroom as the jury continues its deliberations in the #BurchTrial. The jury got the case around 1:15pm, asked for more exhibits about an hour later. The judge granted some, denied others. The latest on closing arguments at 4 on @WBAY.
