Paharik is confirming he found no evidence of the attacks while searching the victim's cars #griegotrial

by Eddie Gregg via twitter 4/11/2014 5:47:15 PM
Defense is suggesting that it was Mr. Biggs "Only evidence that connects #Griego is photos, videos, etc on phone" #GriegoTrial

by azmatthews via twitter 4/11/2014 5:47:22 PM
He is also confirming he found no evidence at the victims' houses #griegotrial

by Eddie Gregg via twitter 4/11/2014 5:47:38 PM
Paharik also testified that it is the video and audio on Griego's phone that ties him to the crimes #griegotrial

by Eddie Gregg via twitter 4/11/2014 5:48:36 PM
Good! I was waiting for him to STHU!!! #griegotrial

That's it for Duke's cross examination #griegotrial

by Eddie Gregg via twitter 4/11/2014 5:48:49 PM
Paharik is now being questioned again by prosecutor Souza. #griegotrial

by Eddie Gregg via twitter 4/11/2014 5:49:53 PM
Paharik: Again, the investigation covert. He didn't want to ask Griego for a recording of his voice to play for vic 4 #griegotrial

by Eddie Gregg via twitter 4/11/2014 5:50:55 PM
Paharik: He was not at all surprised not to find evidence of the stolen items. #griegotrial

by Eddie Gregg via twitter 4/11/2014 5:51:30 PM
Paharik: What excludes Biggs from this is that the video and audio is not on his phone. "Mr. Biggs is not involved." #griegotrial

by Eddie Gregg via twitter 4/11/2014 5:52:35 PM
Paharik is getting pissed! "Mr. Biggs is NOT involved in the case." #griegotrial

by wycam1 via twitter 4/11/2014 5:53:40 PM
Paharik: He has never had a case of this scale where the criminal captured himself on camera. #griegotrial

by Eddie Gregg via twitter 4/11/2014 5:53:51 PM
Paharik: He has "zero" doubt that the attacker was Griego #griegotrial

by Eddie Gregg via twitter 4/11/2014 5:54:12 PM
Duke is again questioning Paharik. Duke wants to know why Paharik didn't play voices of other men for victim 4 #griegotrial

by Eddie Gregg via twitter 4/11/2014 5:55:49 PM
SIT DOWN!!!!! #griegotrial

by Teri423 via twitter 4/11/2014 5:56:41 PM
Should have got a comparison for the voices...But still guilty.

He's not playing the BS game.
Pencil like-y.
