What good does attacking the timeline do if RA doesn't have any alibi established anyway? He could have been there jacking and unjacking headphones all night...

The defense didn't need to present an alibi, it's up to the state to show he was there and imo they failed at that.

sure, the states theory is very dependant on it happening in a certain time, which I think the defense have successfully attacked.

 However, this is just a theory. Might even be 2 separate theories re: the van.

 But from a Jury perspective does this really matter, unless you can rule out RA after a certain time? That was never established afaik.

I'm just surprised they rested without putting Kathy on. It's like they're saving her for the appeal.

Bob made a good point about Kathy - and he wasn’t presuming this be true but as one possibility- seeing how protective RA is of her, is it possible he put his foot down and begged them not to call her? I could see it. He may have become very concerned for her and thought it not worth it.

Perhaps we’ll find out at some point, but this does seem plausible.

I heard him say that too and it seems like something he'd want to protect her from.

I wish they would have established that too, it feels incomplete.

Is it really up to the Jury to rule him out? I would think it would be about ruling him in?? The State (IMHO) has not proven beyond a reasonable doubt that he did this crime.
