So, if the DA hadn't shared discovery until yesterday, how did the defense know the service had been discontinued?

Begs the question--whose phone was it? Remember she said she wanted her cash and "her" phone back (which was somehow more expensive than a blackberry). Did the cops get the number to try to "call" it so they could find it in the house or yard?

Probably from reading these threads.

Their investigators probably called the number.

I think the kids lawyers got some private investigators to find out about it. I think they already know who she called and when. They might have pictures of her on the phone. That would establish a time line they can compare to the pictures of her the boys took. It could be she was on the phone with her pimp or boyfriend when she was supposed to be getting raped in the bathroom. They might also have gotten some other records from the phone company that shows she was texting but not what she was texting.

Did the defense mention that the phone was disconnected before discovery?

Ha, that was the first question I asked hubby after the hearing. Assumed that when the guys found the phone in the front yard and brought it inside, one of them tried it after it had been disconnected that day.

As no other ho's had probably fallen down in their yard in the past days and spilled their ho bags, they assumed it was the FA and turned it over to the cops when they came a callin.
