The only source of sex acts between them is Jane Doe #1's words."




Yesterday, EPD Detective Amber Cosetti was questioned by Chad Smith's attorney,Ms. Andrea Sullivan,  for over an hour. She was questioned about several emails. A different perspective and questions were raised during cross examination.



This morning Ms. Sullivan asked Det. Cosetti about an email dated February 13, 2017 sent by Jane Doe #1 to Chad Smith. "Just out of curiosity, where did you get the kitten thingy?"

Smith responded it was Thundercats mixed with Lion King. He referred to himself as the head lion and Jane Doe #1 as the kitten.

Ms. Sullivan asked Det. Cosetti if she had any experiennce in collectuon of body fluids. Det. Cosetti indicated she did. Ms. Sullivan brought up the issue of why the futon was not tested for forensic evidence. Again, Ms. Sullivan asked about other tests besides DNA that could have been done. Det. Cosetti said the futon cover could have been tested for semen and saliva.

Ms. Sullivan : "Isn't it possible you could have done a luminol test?"

Det. Cosetti said she could have done a luminol test. Regarding the bedding, Det. Cosetti said that the bodily fluids were of poor quality. Ms. Sullivan said so any samples from the bedding did not add or take away from Smith's guilt and innocence.

Det. Cosetti said thst she made the determination that Jane Doe #1 should not have a SART exam. She did not consult a SART nurse, only consulted with other investigators. Det. Cosetti said that the last time Jane Doe #1 had sex with Smith was Nov 2016 and the disclosure was in 2017 so Det. Cosetti did not want to put Jane Doe #1 through the invasive test.

Ms. Sullivan asked if Jane Doe #1 had been tested for STDs or given a pregnancy test. The answer was no.

During recross, Ms. Sullivan asked Det. Cosetti, "even with the passage of time, ceetain tests would have shown blood or semen" on the futon cover.

Addressing another reason given by Det. Cosetti for not doing the SART exam, Ms. Sullivan mentioned changes in a woman's body after penile penetration and changes in a woman's body  "who has never had sex and a person who had sex" and bringing up the fact that  Det.Cosetti had no medical knowledge or training regarding these changes.

"We discussed a lot of emails but not all are in evidence. Is it true that Master is only referenced three times?" Ms. Sullivan asked Det. Cosetti.

Det. Cosetti said that she recalled several times Master was used.

Ms. Sullivan: "Is it true that there are more references to kitten than Master?"

Detective Cosetti: "That is true."

Ms. Sullivan: "You admitted yesterday that emails viewed individually are not of a sexual nature. You don't have a video (of sex acts between Smith and Jane Doe #1). Majority of how you view emails is on based on Jane Doe #1's words. The only source of sex acts between them is Jane Doe #1's words."

During redirect,  Deputy District Attorney Stacey Eads did try and address the issue of SART exam and why the futon cover was not tested but Det. Cosetti's answers were not any different than what she already said during direct and cross examination.

Direct examination was briefly reopened and Det. Cosetti said that Smith's search history revealed child abuse investigation and being falsely accused.
