Did you see the Treadmill Case, Christopher Gregor? Over a month it took... most of those days without a jury present. Planning, hearings, and so on.
Amazing how, according to his interview, except for a really small non-meaningful Indiscretion (let’s omit it lasted yrs & created a child) , he is absolutely perfect & the best husband yet his wife did everything he could think of that was wrong, embarrassing, adulterous, fantasy driven, usually only seen in badly written B-movies, etc. whatta gem HE is!! 🙄😒
It’s going to be a long trial if the prosecution doesn’t learn how to say “asked and answered “.

They are passing the evidence around thru the jury to look at and pass to their neighbor. Like in HS when there were not over head projectors or screens. This court needs to update to at least the 90's in technology.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I have not heard ANYTHING that has convinced me so far that this man killed his wife. Supposedly, he stomped his wife’s head in, and it left absolutely NO BLOOD behind. Isn’t that pretty much impossible. No blood or signs of her were found in the car. Nobody saw him. His daughters, who were in the house at the time of her murder, didn’t hear anything. It took over ten years to even convict him, which shows me that even the state does not feel too confident in convicting him. The only thing they got on him was that he was not too happy with her and he did not speak well of her. Sorry,…but most couples who are getting divorced do not talk highly of each other. They also found bleach in his yard, but the luminal didn’t show that any blood was cleaned up. I’m not convinced AT ALL.

Geez, David should have lawyered up. Rambling on & giving them all the reasons he had a motive 🙄
Hogshooter? why wouldn't you legally change your name 🤪
I'm surprised that his social security number was not muted from the interrogation video.
He’s having to re-tell different investigators the whole story again. It’s not his fault , he’s not trying to bash Karen. My opinion.
So we have a lot of expert data on phone records but the attorney cannot articulate the meaning to the jury.
She remembers David brushing past her but nothing else about the hot tub and such.. I have a hard time believing that

This trial will be long and painful with waiting for the jury to pass around evidence or photos via sneaker net. You have got to be kidding!! The court in KY may want to advance up to the 90's at some point.
When does court start
6:41:27 , so surveillance tapes of David at WalMart were obtained by law enforcement, but surveillance tapes of the Farms Halloween party where Karen allegedly entered/exited the night before were not obtained?
