I just watched the 6pm news too, just had some short court clips from both trials with reporters notes --
from Williams' trial: Erik Yingling said Sam talked to him in jail - told him he & Cam were at the house with a 3rd man to rob not murder them - expected there to be heroin and cash, and tortured Lisa to motivate Johnny to talk.
Tanisha (one of Cam's baby mamas) testified that Williams and Cameo were friends and that Sam spent the night a few nights in Jan 2011. Said that Sam called Cameo: "Killa Cam", "Cam", and "Rambo". She said they both smoked Newports & saw them share cigarettes.
They played the phone call from Sam to Cam -- it was not very compelling -- not sure this was any help to prosecutor other than establishing the 2 are close enough to be the 1st phone call when arrested -- Sam said he didn't know the victims, said "it wasn't me", & it was kind of inaudible but to me sounded like he said that he didn't know the [co-defendants] ---
found that an interesting statement because that would mean at the time they were telling him they were charging someone other than Cam ---
Sam also told Cam to tell his mom to pray for him, and said the truth would set him free.
Big John said he knew Johnny had been threatened from sale of his car to Alex Cousino.
Alex Cousino said she was friends with Cam & Sam.
from Pettaway's trial:
they said Straub family left courtroom right before crime scene photos/evidence was going to be displayed
They had LS clothing (pants), duct tape samples, samples from the plastic bags, pictures of cigarette, and wallet.
a couple other things ---
Sarah Stallkamp -- was LS her roommate for awhile? Think S.S. is being brought in by the defense to give another suspect --- noticed she took out a Restraining Order against Nathan Jewell in April 2011 & in March 2011 he was on Toledo's Most Wanted list for assault, abduction, larceny.
also think it's interesting that the Prosecutor filed a motion to preclude any mention of polygraph results for any witnesses for prosecution or defense --- guessing that means they had some witnesses who didn't pass.
