10:26 | RT @Mandalyn1401: @SNAndyHoag Is there a reason why the Mlive video has hardly any volume? Friday September 28, 2012 10:26 SNAndyHoag |
10:27 | @Mandalyn1401 Combination of our equipment and distance from the witness stand. We're doing the best we can. Friday September 28, 2012 10:27 SNAndyHoag |

11:08 | @KirstenWhitlock @smh10srh I might've mentioned one of them on another day, but it seems pretty irrelevant. It was heard on the live video. Friday September 28, 2012 11:08 SNAndyHoag |
11:09 | Thomas going through the suicide note, asking Webb if she ever heard her sister say any of the things in the note. Each time, "No." Friday September 28, 2012 11:09 SNAndyHoag |

11:23 | Thomas back for re-direct. Webb: Didn't know her sister's relationship with Bluew was "more than friends." Friday September 28, 2012 11:23 SNAndyHoag |

11:24 | @SNAndyHoag they graduated together Friday September 28, 2012 11:24 Mandalyn1401 |

11:34 | Phillips says the Aztek wasn't moved and that the cord wasn't cut until they moved Webb's body up to the road. This completely ... Friday September 28, 2012 11:34 SNAndyHoag |
11:34 | ... contradicts everything Patterson and Waterman said. Friday September 28, 2012 11:34 SNAndyHoag |
11:36 | Phillips: He and Patterson drove separately to Covenant. Body was placed in the morgue. Says he didn't open body bag at all. Friday September 28, 2012 11:36 SNAndyHoag |
11:36 | RT @nichol0715: @SNAndyHoag is that a good thing or a bad thing? Friday September 28, 2012 11:36 SNAndyHoag |
11:37 | .@nichol0715 I suppose it depends on your perspective, but I'd imagine the prosecution will say Phillips just isn't remembering correctly. Friday September 28, 2012 11:37 SNAndyHoag |
11:38 | Phillips: Doesn't write reports in regards to transports, didn't review any reports prior to testifying. Friday September 28, 2012 11:38 SNAndyHoag |

2:15 | Stroud is done, now O'Farrell, who asks when he was contacted by the police and given subpoena, which he got couple weeks ago. Friday September 28, 2012 2:15 SNAndyHoag |
2:16 | I think O'Farrell's point with that question will be to show that this part of the investigation wasn't done until just recently. Friday September 28, 2012 2:16 SNAndyHoag |
2:16 | @SNAndyHoag As I am new to the whole twitter thing, I am curious as to why I can't view your responses to other peoples questions? Friday September 28, 2012 2:16 teneyuque20 |

2:29 | ... Bluew said he knew her but wasn't the father of the baby. Booker says he hadn't asked who the father was. Friday September 28, 2012 2:29 SNAndyHoag |
2:30 | Booker: Bluew said he had "nothing to hide," and Booker said that was "good," because the investigators had questions. Bluew said, "OK." Friday September 28, 2012 2:30 SNAndyHoag |

2:37 | Stroud is done, now O'Farrell. Friday September 28, 2012 2:37 SNAndyHoag |
2:39 | O'Farrell points out that all officers go through similar PPCT training. Friday September 28, 2012 2:39 SNAndyHoag |
2:40 | Booker: Believes Bluew was already certified in PPCT in years past but needed to be re-certified to be a trainer. Friday September 28, 2012 2:40 SNAndyHoag |

2:42 | Booker: Bluew was an "excellent detective." Recommended him for the Titt. Twp. chief job. Wanted to come back to BV cuz of slower pace. Friday September 28, 2012 2:42 SNAndyHoag |
2:43 | @SusanneMackley I did. It was "...he was asking me that question." Friday September 28, 2012 2:43 SNAndyHoag |
2:46 | O'Farrell getting more ammo to attack the investigation, as Booker agrees that having suspect on scene would contaminate it. Friday September 28, 2012 2:46 SNAndyHoag |

2:47 | @SNAndyHoag Can you mike the wittnesses Friday September 28, 2012 2:47 GeneNoack |
2:48 | .@GeneNoack Unfortunately, no. Our equipment isn't exactly TV news equipment. This has shown us we need an upgrade. Friday September 28, 2012 2:48 SNAndyHoag |
2:48 | And Booker is done. Next witness is MSP D/Sgt. Allan Ogg, one of the two lead investigators. Friday September 28, 2012 2:48 SNAndyHoag |

3:13 | .@SabrinaCabello yes, sorry. Should have mentioned that. Friday September 28, 2012 3:13 SNAndyHoag |
3:15 | The forearm injury appears to be as if someone were to dig four fingernails into the arm. Friday September 28, 2012 3:15 SNAndyHoag |
3:15 | @SNAndyHoag where did bluew say he received these injuries from ? Friday September 28, 2012 3:15 McMullenMegan |

3:24 | Ogg: That following Sunday, went to MSP crime lab, examined Bluew's uniform. Pants were pressed as if not worn. Friday September 28, 2012 3:24 SNAndyHoag |
3:24 | Ogg: Smelled underarm of t-shirt, smelled like detergent or fabric softener. Friday September 28, 2012 3:24 SNAndyHoag |
3:26 | And we're going to break for the day. Trial will resume at 9 a.m. Tuesday. Friday September 28, 2012 3:26 SNAndyHoag |

3:28 | .@nessarae33 It certainly doesn't appear that way. Friday September 28, 2012 3:28 SNAndyHoag |
3:28 | @Sean_L_Fitz Glad I could help. Friday September 28, 2012 3:28 SNAndyHoag |
3:28 | RT @Sean_L_Fitz: @SNAndyHoag is the clean smelling uniform the one in the yellow bag or the one that Bluew claimed was old and too small? Friday September 28, 2012 3:28 SNAndyHoag |
