Got it. I do remember saying now that even if someone can’t really dial, it’s entirely possible the phone connects to 911 anyway. The amount of unintentional butt dials to 911 is astronomical. Also kids given old phones with no service can still connect.
Now having read the events from that day as LK remembers them, 6 officers arrived “within nanoseconds” of each other. If that is the case, how is it possible anyone was out of sight of the PD at any time if there were 6 on scene. That doesn’t track with the single officer on scene.
I’m very interested to see what the trial evidence shows.
Thanks, @cutter99. I appreciate your kind words. It’s been rough. Amd we did try,
I also appreciate that the victim of this crime has not behaved appropriately by myriad standards.I do, however, also think back to the days when we were only just learning of who the victim was and I myself went to the victim’s social media page. I recall the desire to make sense of it all and my confusion over some seemingly unhinged SM posts. I myself wondered about her role and still do. I do now and will always maintain that unless she was wielding a weapon, I don’t think she deserved the fate she met even if she is awful. And I think she is.
But I also recall people saying truly ugly things about the victim and her family when she was still hospitalized. I maintain that there is a tone and tenor to these threads that nobody should be proud of, Even of the victim is a bully herself.
How does a butt dial track with a 911 corroborating the statements of a separate witness? Wouldn’t the ear witness have to be off the phone before a separate call could connect on its own?
Ooh. You were so getting hot! In the first paragraph. Then, you forgot about call logs and time stamps and the simple fact…… we were ALREADY ON THE PHONE before calling 911. There is a reason that one 911 call (from us) has not been released- aside from its extremely graphic nature. No worry. It’s coming. Probably not publicly though. Still, I stand by the statement “RG and Heymer (between the two of them) saved lives that day. I’d even go so far to say, had even one thing gone differently that day, neither RG or myself would be here to tell about it.
Sdel…… I’m thinking you’ve heard the call. You tell me, does that 911 call HELP or HURT the defense? Figured I’d get your legal opinion. Just a thought.
All I can say, after having listened to the first officer’s testimony, he describes RG as having gone into the house and he had gotten MB up, searched, and handcuffed before the second officer arrived. No one attended to LK until the 2nd officer arrived.
You can make 2 separate calls on android at a time, and even merge them together. Not sure about other phones. I’ve never tried that with an emergency call, but have been on the receiving end of many.
The first story we heard LK claims she didn’t try to call 911 until after she was shot. Now it seems like she’s trying to say that happened before she was shot. But I agree it’ll be interesting to see how the timing really works out. I’m sure we’ll hear it at the trial.
I do have a question about jury selection, for those who know this stuff.
How long does it typically take to pick the jury?
Do they start the trial immediately after the jury is selected or is there typically a delay (day(s)?) to do other stuff once the jury is picked?
Judge must charge the jury meaning teach the jury what they need to do, what is the process, what to pay attention to and not pay attention to, chosing a foreman, tell them expected length of time, don’t watch media regarding case or discuss case, etc.
Here are a couple of recordings made to 9-1-1 on August 7. There were at least 2 more that this source did not play or did not have access to (initial call(s) to 9-1-1 and LK’s call after she was shot). In the first recording, a neighbor called 9-1-1 but the police showed up during that call so obviously they had already been called by someone. The second recording was John Kanarak calling to find out if LK had been shot.
The dates of the jury selection and the start of the trial were made a while back. Trial starts on March 28.
