TRIAL - Ross Harris #1

Not open for further replies.
:thinking: hmm this little bit I have seen from last witness is very interesting.
Looks like the State is trying to rush the next 3 witnesses through. Def asks who they are and 1 found nothing and last 2 who came down from Atlanta .. Def says that thinks those are going to take a while.

Cant wait to review the testimony I missed and yalls post on today!
 
Yeager is allowed to leave the witness stand. Court is taking an afternoon break.
 
I'm sure it's occurred to the attorneys prosecuting Ross Harris that they are fortunate indeed to have a sympathetic judge overseeing this trial.
 
Minor- - I'm really interested in hearing any opinions you have about how the State conducted it's computer searches/forensics. You've more than earned your stripes as a sleuther on this topic (yes, I remember that incredible post - CFA trial work you did :)).
 
I honestly cannot believe the judge is allowing this testimony - and I can't believe the state even wants to present this

I feel like we have basically gotten no information about the computer forensics. I was assuming the state has more substantive witnesses who will testify about it.

At the moment it appears to me that the state is trying to hide the fact that they found nothing at all of evidentiary value on the computers, despite testimony to the contrary at the pc hearing.
 
Did anyone get the name of this witness?

This testimony is pretty bazaar. The cross is wacky. I realize they have to cross the witness. But....how do you cross a witness like this without entering really weird territory. The defense doesn't seem like they want to be doing this, LOL. (Not really a funny laugh, but a...is this really happening kind of laugh.)

I mean, she just called clients the age of the attorney "prime retail."

Good Lord.
 
How completely absurd. That's just like Boring asking the detective - "Just because you didn't smell anything in the car, isn't it possible that there was a smell?"

I do not think its absurd. He admitted he did not look at everything, and the prosecution is emphasizing that. Just like an officer or witness who was potentially too overcome with emotion at the scene because a child is lying dead on the ground did not make note of a smell. If a smell existed and they didnt notice it, it doesnt mean it was not present.
 
Earlier, the witness said he opened up a computer tower that was under warrant and the hard drive was gone. Also, another device had something that made him unable to search it. I missed whether these devices were from work or home.
 
3:32 p.m.


The case continues, and retired Cobb County police officer Pam Coalson is called to the witness stand. She worked for the department for 27 years.

3:43 p.m.


Coalson says detectives told her to look at internet history and anything related to the crimes of murder and car deaths on a laptop belonging to Ross Harris.

3:50 p.m.


Coalson says she ran a program on the laptop to search the contents. Those findings were then put on a disc for detectives to review, she said. Some of the key words she searched included "murder" and "child cruelty."

3:58 p.m.


Daniela Doerr takes the witness stand. She says in June 2014, she was living in a Marietta hotel and working as an escort. She advertised her services on the Backpage website. Doerr says she performed sexual acts for money.

4:04 p.m.


Detectives came to her hotel room because her number showed up on a phone during an investigation, Doerr said. She was shown a picture, and Doerr said she knew who he was. She had seen him in May 2014.

4:06 p.m.


Doerr said she remember the man because he was white and she preferred African-American clients. She said she engaged with sexual acts with him three times. The man, she said, was very relaxed and "strictly business."

4:11 p.m.


Doerr said she had been using the Backpage.com website since March or April. She first met with the man during the week of May 18, her birthday. The first meeting between the two lasted 15 minutes. A second visit lasted 30 minutes. The two met at the Econo Lodge on Franklin Road.

4:18 p.m.


Doerr says she usually had three or four customers a day. “I didn’t take every caller,” Doerr says. “I did what I needed to make sure that I was OK.” The majority of her clients were middle-class, white males.

4:25 p.m.


Doerr says the man who came to her three times in May 2014 was Ross Harris.

Did anyone catch the ruling about Det. Galimore's report? It sounds like it will be admitted into evidence first thing Monday morning. Did I hear that correctly?

I think one was a work computer and he was unable to get the password to unencrypt it. I didn't hear if he eventually was able to or not. We're in the middle of a huge windstorm and the power's going off and on so I'm only catching bits and pieces now. Thanks to all of you who are posting info here!!
:loveyou:

She's going to allow it. I don't know the timing.

Thanks Mimi. It makes no sense, though. Ross would have no need for a baby seat of any kind when Cooper's away with his mother. Simply put the front facer back in his car when the baby returns. Double-switching is nonsensical imo.

Respectfully snipped for only my quote my portion. Respectfully bbm, I agree to disagree. It has been testified that LH picked up Cooper in evenings most times. IF both did not have a car seat in ea car, how are the one that took him, going to get the car seat to the other one? Leave it where ever? My kids have carseats in their veh, and I keep them in my veh also, in case I need to pick up from school/daycare or whatever. True some people do only have one and switch them around. But that is not what happened in this case, they each had one in their car. Also per the measurements and height and weight from testimony (on car seat) and autopsy report, Cooper was within the guide lines of being in the car seat that RH had in his car, that Cooper died in. That is factual from evidence, not my opinion. Not meaning to sound snippy or sarc.

Didn't RH have tinted rear windows? Or did I just make that up?!

No I didn't make it up. So even if people were walking past the car it's unlikely they would have seen Cooper.

JMHO that is the exact thing that I believe the Def is trying to point out. Tint, shadows and so forth that would make it hard for someone passing by to see, could also make it hard for RH to glance in and see Cooper in the car seat.
 
Hmmm, I'm trying to do the math on the escorts pregnancy. [emoji848]

She found out she was pregnant 3 weeks after Cobb County officers came to the Econolodge to ask about the defendant.

Thank you. However there was a discrepancy about how it was going to admitted . The State wanted to stipulate, but the Defense said not so fast. Because of the initial ruling in front of the jury, the DT wanted an explanation to the jury at the time it was entered into evidence. Judge Staley said she was going to do neither. She then sort of mumbled as she struggled to read her notes. I understood enough to know it was going to be admissible, but I couldn't make out the terms of that. It sounded like it would happen on Monday.

ETA - There was no mention of bringing the witness back to testify. I wonder if that is still on the table.
