9:47 a.m.: Garber was excused; next person expected to take the stand will be Maya Millete's sister, Maricris Drouaillet. Garber said he was instructed to recover a mouth swab from Larry Millete. Garber added he did not take mouth swabs from Larry’s parents and the children. Garber also testified that he sprayed the entire bathroom, including the tub area, with a chemical called Bluestar. Bluestar reacts with presumptive blood to create a"chemiluminescence" effect showing where it is. Garber said on the stand one other area in the master bathroom showed this effect, and he took pictures and collected a sample.
3:05 p.m.: Prosecution finished showing photos, a total of 48, to the courtroom. They asked Garber some brief follow ups regarding the procedure for search warrants and when he takes pictures. The prosecution finished asking questions, and the defense began cross examination. The judge says the court will take a break at 3:15 p.m.
2:10 p.m.: Martinez asked Johnson about Maya's access to the couple's bank accounts. Johnson said she did not specifically remember if Maya had control, but she did testify that Maya was worried about paying for a retainer fee, since Larry could possibly find out about her wanting a divorce via the bank statements. Martinez has asked several questions about the intake process at Broaden Law Firm throughout the cross examination.
11:02 a.m.: ABC 10News reporter Marie Coronel has learned 25 people are expected to testify for the prosecution over the course of the hearing, which could last up to three weeks.
