DDA Nunez, outside the presence of the jury, asked Judge Perry that the juror be instructed that he's still under admonition. Judge Perry tells the jury, "That's why we have alternates." The jury is now made up of nine women and three men. Overland asks that there be a random draw from the alternates so that is how the single female alternate, Alternate #6 is now moved into Juror seat #4.
There is a conference at the defense table. DDA Presby has no preference that's fine with him.
Judge Perry asks the parties if they have any preference, otherwise, he will appoint Alternate #1, a male. Judge Perry tells the court that Juror #4 stated he has been feeling ill and believes he has an ear infection. Male Juror #4 called in sick to Judge Perry's clerk Melody. If it hasn't dawned on everyone yet, today is the 26th anniversary of Sherri Rae Rasmussen's murder.Ī little information on what happened this morning before testimony started. While the witness testified, Loretta Rasmussen and John Ruetten silently sobbed behind me. The final assault occurred in the living room where she was struck with the vase and shot three times. Rasmussen then got away from her attacker but was recaptured and assaulted in the entry way area. He descried in detail how he believes that Rasmussen was initially confronted in the kitchen area where the first shots were fired. John Ruetten is with them.Ĭrime scene analyst Mark Safarik testified about the specific circumstances of the crime scene that lead him to believe that this was a staged scene and not a burglary or interrupted burglary. Scott Young is sitting on the bench across from me.Ĩ:30 AM DDA Nunez is speaking to the family in the hallway.

The long cuffs of her pink blouse were folded back over the jacket sleeve creating a very polished, professional look. She had on a pearl necklace paired with a form fitting black suit. Connie Westhoff testified, she reminded me a bit of Diane Ogden, a 1101b witness in the Spector trial, but with more subdued, hair and makeup. I’m betting his wife helped pick those out. I’ve not seen anyone wear ties that compare to DDA Alan Jackson’s collection. DDA Presby often wears a two-toned striped tie. Writer Matthew McGough thought that the witness on the stand at the time, has the exact same color tie and jokingly accused DDA Nunez and the witness of matching their wardrobe, but I could tell that the witness had on a tie with a different hue and weave. When I was squinting to try to see it better, DDA Nunez asked if I was frowning or staring at him. I think it was Wednesday that I was admiring the sky blue tie that DDA Nunez was wearing. I have to admit I am missing writing about the attire that people wear to court like I observed in the two Spector trials. There were big black decorative buttons down the front of the jacket. It was paired with an A-line black skirt. It was yesterday or the day before that the woman sitting at the detectives table right behind the prosecution, (I think she is a DDA.) was wearing a striking hot pink, form fitting jacket with a bit of flair on the wrist and over the hips. They have two witness left to call after firearms expert Daniel Rubin. Like I mentioned yesterday, the prosecution hopes to rest their case today. I open up my laptop and decide to write while I wait. Being dropped off at the Universal City Station, I just miss catching a train by about 10 seconds.
