Blakewilliams who is hostile to cops had demeanor changed when he heard about Sunshine and Christina

Detective Dockweiler said Lucas Blakewilliams is usually "hostile to cops" but when Detective Dockweiler mentioned Christina and Sunshine, especially Sunshine Blakewilliam's demeanor changed to emotional.

Second witness to testify this morning is APD Sgt. Robert Martinez. When eight people were brought from Eye Street house, they were put into a conference room and were being monitored by APD volunteer and parking enforcement David Greeney. APD does not have the room to keep them in separate rooms. They were advised not to speak each other and interviewed separately. Two were asleep while waiting to be interviewed. Sgt. Martinez described the process of interviews.

Hoyt Cribs, first person to be interviewed was "shocked and stunned" like every one else. Sgt. Martinez said since it was 3 a.m. they were exhausted.

This is the third time, morning break has been longer so the Judge can talk with counsel. While counsel is mostly respectful, often defense's frustration is in the form of disrespectful, aggressive objections and even after Judge Reinholtsen has ruled, that continues. After break, that eased a bit.

There were lengthy evidence hearings closed on motions. Each individual has their opinion, but if I were a juror, such aggression would be a turnoff to me. Judge Reinholtsen is doing a great job and being fair to both sides and cautious, which is good. Ms. Firpo is very respectful and calm.

I know lawyers read this blog and what they need to remember is the jury is not made up of lawyers but ordinary people like me.  And with law enforcement testifying, today is the kind of day observations to give a feel of the courtroom is more important.

Sgt. Martinez is testifying about his interviews with eight people that were detained from the Eye Street house, his testimony for the day concluded with him testifying about his interview with Bodhi Tree.
