For the crime scene experts here, why would cops take pictures of MB’s truck toolbox but not any of the other vehicles and the trailer? Do we think they did but just didn’t show them at the trial or just more sloppy work?
I believe they were never searched. Can’t remember where that came up, possibly in the trial. After all, why would such a competent group search everything in the yard of a crime scene? Gotta give them credit though, they made note of the shovel in the back of MB’s truck. /s
@ekat & @jvanrens, I used a shovel bigger than that one to transplant some perennials. I am surprised the prosecutor could keep a straight face when he talked about it. I wonder what he really thinks about their investigative work.
The whole bringing up the shovel made me scratch my head. Never in the whole trial was the shovel brought up that I heard, it didn’t make any sense to me, other than grasping at straws.
Hey now, I’m not sure that’s fair to the judge. We saw earlier when JK did that, this judge dutifully sent the correspondence to the parties. I get being frustrated with the legal system, but I don’t like disparaging a judge who hasn’t shown himself to be corrupted.
Yes. In fairness, Schellhorn said something like if he was afraid, he could have just swung the shovel (words to that affect, not a quote) instead of using the gun.
Then LK went all crazy on YouTube saying the shovel was proof of the plot and that he was going to bury her body on the farm.
