At least I know that it's eastern time now..that was plaguing me. That would make it 12:30 central time zone. :)

[Jaded]

Well, I have errands to run. I'll be depending on you guys to update me, the short version please. Enjoy, and remember keep your extinguishers fully loaded and by your side!

Dehasa Site

At 2:34 P.M., recieved page from Susan Wintersteen(sp), informing SDPD that the Danielle Search Team had found a childs body on Dehasa road site.

 3500 Block of Dehasa road, SDPD set up crime scene/command post.

"Hearsay"

[spectre]

This is supposed to be a THREE day preliminary? Playing to the public.

So now we have a witness who has directed the search, Lt James Collins.

So it looks like more of a trial, than a prelimiary. WE KNOW THEY FOUND the BODY...is this what it is all about?

Seems the Prosecution might have started out with "Damon" finding out the girl was missing. Sort of ass backwards, so far.

Will attempt to transcribe on the fly......presently, commercial break......Feldman is a Pit Bull all right.

Prosecution is not very impressive, to present....

Earing left ear, choker, body unclothed.

[Freedom2specul8]

The net feed is behind the court tv feed, BUT there is no commercial interruptions.

[FresnoDA]

WARNING....GRAPHIC AUTOPSY/OBSERVATIONS.

No flesh on legs, no flesh on face/neck.  Heavily ravaged by local "critters"

One "foot" was missing...

TRAGIC.....

[Registered]

Head turned to right, leaves dry, neck mouth very decomposed. Drag marks into underbrush.

[Freedom2specul8]

Amore, are you watching it, or relying on reports on FR? Currently, the prosecution appears to be going over time line and observations of lead investigator.

[Amore]

We don't have commercials on MSNBC online, maybe you should get a feed going on your computer. Did you hear? they said she was found on her back, body in advanced state of decomposition, esp. legs & around mouth and neck.

[Amore]

Yes, I'm listening to MSNBC online, they are on the first witness, the lead prosecutor. They just asked what happened til the homicide team showed up.
