DAY FOUR of the #FabianGonzales trial is underway. APD Deputy Commander Kyle Hartsock is on the stand. He’s going over cell phone data collection processes and explaining how they can tell where someone is with cell phone data.
He personally analyzed the phone data from Gonzales, Martens and Kelley.
He created a map to visualize where the Gonzales and Martens had travelled with Google data on their phones. He says Kelley didn't have any Google data on her phone, I believe indicating she had not left the apartment.
Hartsock is now showing the animated map detailing the different cell towers the phones are hitting at different times when the phone receives a call or text.
Hartsock goes over texts to and from Michelle Martens. They are concerning confusion with who is getting Victoria off the bus and another mom texting Michelle, Victoria was trying to contact her. The texts end when they say someone is at Martens apt, we believe that to be Kelley.
Prosecutors are now focusing on the BBQ held for Kelley's return from prison. The state's theory is a fight at this BBQ between Gonzales and another woman was the reason Victoria was killed. They believe it was gang retaliation carried out by an unidentified man.
Texts between Gonzales and Amanda (the woman he fought at the BBQ) Gonzales says he'd beat the *advertiser censored** out of her if she wasn't pregnant. Amanda responds saying how Gonzales hits women, difference is she hits back. Earlier Kelley testified the cut on Gonzales' face was from Amanda.
Hartsock reads the text referenced in openings when Gonzales asks Michelle if she wants to do "a line" (of meth) with "us" (Kelley and Gonzales). Michelle declines. Kelley testified she smoked meth Gonzales.
Hartsock now going over the movements of Michelle and Gonzales on the evening Victoria Martens was killed. They return to the apartment around 8:47pm. Prosecutors ask prior to their arrival if there was any inquiries about Victoria's well being, "definitely not," Hartsock says.
Lunch break. Back at 1:15pm.
We are back from lunch recess. Kyle Hartsock resumes his testimony from the stand where he is meticulously going over cell phone data from Gonzales, Michelle Martens and Kelley still on direct examination from the state.
Hartsock is finished after a brief cross and redirect. Allison Nodes, APD crime scene specialist takes the stand. She says she’s a civilian within APD. She’s talking about DNA collection processes and “body warrants” and says she worked the Victoria Martens case.
Defense on cross puts attention back on Kelley pointing out how angry she was when Nodes examined her. She is excused. Judge takes 10 minute break before the state calls their next witness.
Monica Ramirez-Rivera is called to the stand. She says she was visiting her sister who was neighbor of Michelle Martens. She's recalling seeing a little girl who we are to believe is Victoria Martens.
Monica, on direct, mentioned seeing Victoria getting carried by Jessica Kelley outside the apartment. She says she saw her arm fall out as "limp" and told her sister something seemed wrong.
She describes over hearing an argument between two people (Gonzales and Kelley) and "the male," wanted to continue the argument indoors. She says Kelley wanted to, "figure this out," but Gonzales was adamant about going inside.
Monica says she overhears yelling and banging on the walls at 3am, "it sounded like they were fighting," for about 5-10 minutes. Michelle then stepped outside of the apartment and went downstairs.
Prosecution passes the witness. Defense starts by asking Monica about her federal guilty plea for trafficking drugs into the U.S. She also lives in Mexico.
Defense is trying to question her credibility, saying she had described the fight she witnessed between Gonzales and Kelley differently than she testified today. Monica saying the detectives got it wrong. Prosecution objects, bench conference.
"My memory is a little rusty, it's been a lot of years," Monica says when pressed about discrepancies in her testimony today and a report from 6 years ago.
Monica is excused. Pauline Quintana takes the stand. She lived in 803, another neighbor of Michelle Martens.
Pauline’s daughter, Jessica, takes the stand after her. She says she was 15 at the time of Victoria’s death.
Done for the day. Judge says they’ll bring back this witness starting tomorrow at 9am. We’re breaking down the developments today on @KOB4
starting at 5pm.
