Update (10:20 AM): The state rests. The defense moved for a directed verdict.
And we are back. Welcome to the fifth day of Polo's trial. The trial is live-streamed below, courtesy of WLBT.
Yesterday belonged again to former Polo Sugar Mama and star witness Shadow Robinson. She bragged in court yesterday she kept Edwards around for sex while paying his bills. Something was said about her paying his bills and he had no vehicle of his own. She apparently bragged about her sexual prowess motivating his attentions towards her.
Once Robinson stepped down, an investigator showed how cell phone location data placed Edwards at the scene of the crime.
The prosecution said it expects to wrap up its case before noon. The medical examiner will testify. Mr. Fortner would like to start Monday but Judge Peterson is taking a wait and see approach. Judge Peterson said she expects to conclude the case by Tuesday.

"Directed verdict" - It doesn't hurt to ask.
Shadow was a terrible witness. We may see a hung jury.
A motion for directed verdict might be necessary to preserve an issue on appeal.
To qualify to practice in the criminal defense bar, do you HAVE to look like a 1960's hippie or is it optional? Many people in the CDB seem to prefer to look that way.......You'll almost never see a practicing attorney to have that appearance without being a member of the CDB.
Oh goodness! I don't know why I would care. Just another man with more brawns than brains.
There's no "guilt by association" when a President hangs out with convicted felons and pardons them and then there's the "been in an institution for the mentally ill" and the "drug users" and the Neo Nazi, Aryans qgi aren't " all bad people" associates.
Indeed, even when some of those above got GOP funds, the GOP didn't care.
If you can show me where this Polo person had any influence or received tax dollars or was hired either or supported financially by any Democratic Party funds or even invited to the office of the mayor or even invited to his home, I'll listen.
But, otherwise, this sounds like because your party is corrupt, you assume both parties are corrupt DESPITE the fact that even with the power of Congress behind you and years of hearings, you can't find ANY legal evidence to support charging anyone other than Biden's drug addicted son. Even with him the DOJ filed the charges based on evidence THEY generated.
And THEN, you ignored or have forgotten or never bothered to know about the problems of children of elected officials in YOUR party. One was even arrested. Not well publicized, but that was when we all decided parents, even good ones. sometimes have children who don't behave or listen.
It's the hypocrisy of the extreme right in both religious leaders who rather flagrantly support a party (despite that not being in the spirit of the law or the Constitution and political ones) and elected officials. I would remind all of you that Billy Graham supported EVERY PRESIDENT, and we ALL know his son has " picked a side". And you NEVER blamed Billy for his son's behavior before he " reformed".
For all I know, some of these less than admirable people got one too many concussions in accidents or sports than their behavior was caused by brain damage! But, nevertheless, if you do the crime, you have to do the time.
Try being just a tiny bit consistent, would you? Have some recognizable ethical code.
@11:31AM - He may be trying to look like the infamous California activist attorney Tony Serra.
@12:35 PM - Please take your meds. Thanks.
The alibi defense was misplayed in my opinion. Shadow puts the defendant at the crime scene and so does electronic and GPS mapping. So an alibi defense would have never worked. The better approach would have been self defense. Edwards was at the scene. He opened the door to find Robinson standing there with a knife lunging towards him. Edwards opened fire in self-defense. I'm no lawyer, but I did stay in at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
12:35 What page are you on?
12:35 put them Tide Pods down and try a snickers bar instead.
@11:31, he looks that way because he can. He works for himself and not for some firm where some old, hard-ass partner comes by his office ordering him to get it cut because the firm’s big-money clients don’t like long hair. In truth, it’s the partner himself, J. Worthington Hardass IV, who doesn’t like the hair but dishonestly invokes the clients’ preferences.
For some reason, too, it sticks up some guys’ asses and sideways to get whupped by a man with a pony tail.
For goodness sakes! Why in the world would any rational person be interested in this trial?
Neither Tom Royals or Aafram Sellers had/have a pony tail.
"We may see a hung jury."
Well, that's an image most could do without I'm sorta-sure, but if "we" do I'm sure Shadow will be interested in puttin' a little lovin' on those good citizens. S'cuse me while I whip this out...no, no, not THAT. A Mel Brooks tribute script! Da Poo-deucers: They be stupid, not very smarty, cum all over at a well-oiled party!
I want some of what 12:35 is smoking. No, check that-I never want to be that stupid.
