TK.... I promised to get back to you on how the fact that the times are wrong on the photos melds with the Bissey statement...

11:50 p.m.: Bissey, on his porch, notices two women walk to the back of the house, where a man greets them.

What did they do on the back porch for 10 minutes? My guess this is where the AV drinks half her drink, spills the rest, then drinks Kim's drink. That's a lot of booze in 10 minutes... just a guess...

Midnight: Bissey sees the two women go into the house.

Dancing starts about 12:00... no problems so far... if you believe Kim they danced for 10 minutes... if you believe the photos, they danced for 4....

12:20 TO 12:30 a.m.: Tuesday, March 14, Bissey hears voices in the alley beside the house. At least two men are discussing money, one saying, "It's only $100." Bissey sees a man leaning into the window of a car parked outside the house. One of the women he saw earlier gets out of the car and says she needs to get her shoe. She walks to the back door of the house.

So far so good.... if you believe Kim's time line 12:10 they stop dancing, they get dressed and get to her car 12:20 - 12:30.. some guy follows them out and leans in the window to apologize and try to talk them back in.... 12:30 ish the AV goes to the back door to try to go in an get her shoe... the door is locked she can't get in... fumbles around in her purse and make-up bag looking for something, the booze finally hits her or she trips on the trash and falls down the steps... Kim gets tired of waiting, goes to the back yard to get her and some guy helps her to the car.... I can see that taking 10 - 15 minutes...

Between 12:45 AND 1 A.M.: Bissey sees a car, which at least one of the women had been in earlier, speed away. Several men come out of the house; Bissey hears at least one of them say, "Guys, let's go," repeatedly. Within minutes, there is silence. The lights at 610 Buchanan are dim, and no one is outside.

Consistent with Kim calling 911 at 12:53, the cabbie getting there about the same time and everyone gone before 12:55

12:53 a.m.: An unidentified woman calls 911 and says a man near 610 Buchanan called her and a friend a racial slur.

12:55 a.m.: Police arrive and see evidence of a party at the house, but no stragglers. No one answers the door, and police can't find the woman who called 911.

1:06 a.m.: Police leave.

So if we are to believe the uninvolved party Bissey, it doesn't matter really what the times are on the pictures... it's fairly obvious we could probably place the pictures on the timeline without the times being on them anyway...

We have to make a couple of leaps here without the times on the pics, but not many....

The prosecution's case does not make sense. Based on what I've read I think the defense is holding back some big pieces of evidence (Speculation here): One, Finnerety is at a Mexican restaurant with a better alibi then Seligman; Two, AV did tricks the night in question; Three, AV has some serious issues in her background either mental illness, drug rehab or both; Four lots more pictures, and a video too.
This case if you back away a few feet is a 25-1 he said she said with all of the usual corroboration pointing towards the defense (the lack of DNA in this fact pattern is devastating), a great alibi, a tainted ID, the defense witnesses are generally upstanding people with good reputations, the only witness for the prosecution, the AV is a troubled woman who was likely on drugs or alcohol when the alleged incident occurred. Like Hannity said show me on piece of evidence.
