The FINAL (?!) Jodi Arias thread (Penalty Phase retrial verdict)

[usnuzuloose]

s: Black says Batey gave him a written statement on June 25 (2 days after alleged rape). #vandytrial

 

[usnuzuloose]

Black reads the statement, in which Batey says he helped Vandenburg carry drunk woman to room but then left to see his own gf. #vandytrial


That's huge, because it directly contradicts Batey's defense that he doesn't remember what happened. #vandytrial

 

[usnuzuloose]

: state presented an incriminating statement made by batey. defense tried to get it out as hearsay...no dice

 

[usnuzuloose]

: Jury is going to hear portions of the interview Black conducted with Batey. Jurors also have transcript of interview.

 

[usnuzuloose]

: Lawyers are essentially yelling at one another right now. Defense says prosecutors are making "side comments" and jury can hear them

 

[usnuzuloose]

I think jury will hear his side with black, if i read that right gemini.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Make sure you are listening now gemini, they are playing it for the jury. This woman atty may be eating her opening statement and go into labor early. YIKES!

 

[usnuzuloose]

: Court now playing recording of Black's interview with Batey on June 25

: In statement, Batey says he did not have anything to drink at other dorm party or before then. #vandytrial

Audio of Batey now being played from interview w/ Assoc. Dean "Girl was belligerent and drunk" - speaking about the victim #VandyRetrial

What a contradiction...

 

[usnuzuloose]

: When leaving his dorm, "my friend Brandon asked for some help. His girl was like belligerent and drunk," Batey says. #vandytrial

 

[usnuzuloose]

#vandytrial - Batey is giving this statement of what happened that night....yet I thought he didn't remember anything????


: Batey told student conduct that woman was mumbling at first, threw up in elevator. After woman in dorm, Batey says he left. #vandytrial

 

[usnuzuloose]

Says he was only in the room for 5 minutes. What a lie.

 

[usnuzuloose]

s: In interview, Batey said he did not have any physical contact with the woman in the dorm room.

Jurors following along with transcripts of student conduct interview on June 25, 2013 that have been handed out. #vandytrial

In recording, Batey said he was on Vandenburg's floor for maybe 5 mins. Black says it was more like 30 or 40 mins, according to footage. @FightforTA

 

[usnuzuloose]

Cross exam of Black starting now. Courtney Teasley for Batey

 

[usnuzuloose]

Black says students were placed on an interim suspension, pending investigation.

 

[usnuzuloose]

Defense attorney Teasley points out students were not under oath for these interviews, weren't told they could leave. #vandytrial

 

[usnuzuloose]

s: Attorneys now meeting with judge in chambers. #vandytrial

Det Jason Mayo from Metro PD now being called to testify. He is one of the key investigators who looked in to the alleged rape #VandyRetrial

 

[usnuzuloose]

Judge denied the defense questioning. She needed to stay quiet, it would hurt him further.

 

[usnuzuloose]

: Woman wasn't sure why police were there, Mayo says. Mayo says supervisor showed her surveillance video, she was "dumbfounded and confused."

 

[usnuzuloose]

Mayo says rape kit test was conducted about 90 hours after the alleged assault. #vandytrial

 

[usnuzuloose]

Mayo says at the time, they did not know what had happened. Suggested medical exam in abundance of caution. #vandytrial
