Got a quick lunchtime update.
Carlisle’s testimony, so far, is as we reported it would be, right down the line.
The only surprise is that the prosecution produced photos of the house (taken by NCIS investigators). Carlisle was asked, “Is this the room where you saw the men?” “Yes.” “Is this where you saw Weemer standing?” “Yes.”
There’ll be more testimony from Carlisle this afternoon.
The only other witness this morning was a warrant officer who testified about the procedures for processing prisoners.
BTW, some courtroom observers think the jury will get the case Thursday.
Thanks, Red. Looks like the case is every bit as thin as we thought it was. Anxious to hear the defense case, the prosecution should be ripped.
I thought there was a report made that the prosecutors and NCIS could not 1) readily identify the exact house, and 2) were not able to return due to the ground conditions at the time? If they're using shots of a 'similar' house, I hope that gets brought out to the jury big-time -- it's a big indicator of perjury and false prosecution.
Thanks for the heads-up; good info.
