False alarm

I interrupt this court session for a fire alarm. Right now the entire Gaston Courthouse is outside, in the heat. The good news: There's a wireless connection!!! The bad news: We were right in the middle of some good testimony. SBI special agent Amy Brewer is on the stand. She works in the Raleigh lab as forensic evidence paint specialist. She testified paint chips found on Emily Anderson's shirt are the same in color, texture and chemical composition as paints chips taken from the John Deere tractor. So her testimony is the paint chips "could have shared a common origin."
Well, they are letting us back in the building, so I better return. We'll see what else Brewer has to say. Not sure when I'll be back. But I will be.


I just learned from my good buddy with Channel 9 that a 3 year old pulled the fire alarm. There goes my theory that someone just wanted to get out of his or her court hearing. Cya.

Well, these chips matching sure don't convict the man! Hell she worked on that farm, they could have been on her person from that morning or from days back. Don't get me wrong, I am not taking sides just stating the facts...that's all!

So did they take Jerry back to the jail or did he go with everyone else outside during the fire alarm?

For some reason, I think I'm reading these blog entries out of order. Anyone else having that problem?
