This month has been dominated by two questions:
1. Exactly when did Kaelin get back to the phone call with Rachel Ferrara. Related to this is the question of whose ability to estimate time was better, Kaelin or Ferrara's.
Jasper wrtoe on this point in a 6/20 post:
"Rachel Ferrara had her TV on when she was talking to Kato before he hung up to check out the thumps. She told Kato that she didn’t feel an earthquake and she explained that if there had been one she thought that it would have been announced on TV. A TV set can be a timepiece if you are watching a show that starts or stops on the hour, quarter hour or half hour. On some sets in 1994 you could press a button on your remote control to get the exact time if you were not anchored to a phone line out of reach of your remote or if you were too lazy to get it. If she had a VCR she had a timepiece. If she had a wristwatch that she wasn’t wearing when she asked Kato the time, she had a timepiece. If she had an alarm clock, a counter clock, a mantle clock or a wall clock she had a timepiece. When Kato hung up all she had to do was look at any timepiece in her house."
Objection to introduction to facts not in evidence! While any of what Jasper has just speculated on may be true, it remains SPECULATION.
The only absolute FACT that we can have on this point is that, whenever she was questioned about how she knew what time it was, she replied that she asked kaelin. There is absolutely nothing else in her testimony to indicate that ushe used any other method of determining time, except for her own human sense of duration, to figure out the time. To say otherwise is, to be blunt, dishonest.
"Knowing what time it was became important to Rachel when Kato hung up..."
This again is belied by the actual testimony. There is no sign at all that the time was 'important' to Ferrara, and her testimony on this point is that, no, she was not really anxious or worried and took Kaelin'es statemnt 'to call the cops in ten minutes' as a joke.
"When time is important to you what do you do? You look at clock..."
Again, mere speculation.
"Waiting for Kato to call again was important to her until he called. She may not have.."
she may have call the atomic clock at the Naval Observatory in Washington. She may have eaten a slice of watermelon. She 'may have' done, or 'not', a hell of a lot of things.
"checked the time at the instant he called back (thus, the estimate) but to know that it was more than10 minutes later (when she started to wonder if she should be concerned) she had to have checked the time..."
But she gave not a snip of testimony that she did.
2. Did Fuhrman or Kaelin bring up the subject of the thumps in the interview in Kaelin's room the morning after the murders? Or, rather, did Fuhrman lead Kaelin and extract information he had previously planted within Kaelin, so as to have a reason to go to the south path to find the Rockingham glove?
A study of all the publicly available testimony and writing on this point clearly indicates that kaelin volunteered this information.
