Summary of 2/20 and 2/21 - and announce
Briana Waters trial continues this week. Yesterday the defense
finished the slow moving cross examination of Briana's cousin, Robert
Corrina.
The prosecution went through a couple witnesses, a nurse from St.
peter's hospital, and a nurse from Capital Medical Center in Olympia.
Also David Peterson , Avalon's former landlord. They went into detail
showing how Avalon paid the landlord under the alias "Todd Hager" .
Then The proscution Interviewed Jen Kolar for most of the afternoon,
and Fox began cross examination.
Today, Thursday, Fox cross examined Kolar all morning. Then they moved
to take a witness out of turn and put Bill Wake on the stand, who
testified that basically, Justin Solondz rented from him in 2001 for
several months, and ID'ed a check made out to him from Briana for $124
with "justin's rent and bills" on the memo line. On cross he described
the dwelling as a "handmade motorhome on the back of a '54 3-ton
truck". He described the size of the place, and that there were other
places to sit besides the bed, finishing with "It'd be more
inconvenient [for a second person] to sit on the bed actually".
The Defense then finished examining Jennifer Kolar. Full notes for
these two days of testimony from Corrina and Jen K. will be
forthcoming as soon as possible.
At the end of the day, there was a brief witness, Valerie Betty, and
FBI fingerprint expert, who documented how she determined that a
fingerprint on a manila envelope matched Briana Waters' Right Middle
finger.
Then the prosecution started Examining BATF Agent Timothy Watkins,
about his response to the Susanville BLM Wild Horse Corral. The Direct
questioning will finished tomorrow, followed by the Cross, and then
the Prosecution is expected to present their LAST witness, FBI Agent
Halla..
SO The prosecution will probably rest its case tomorrow.
Tomorrow should be an interesting day, with possible disclosure of how
the FBI mishandled the investigation and the evidence. Heather Moore
is not being called to testify.
