Recap of Day 3 of Mavrick Fisher Murder Trial

CALLIE FRYE: 

Today is the third day of the murder trial — State of California vs Mr. Mavrick Fisher. He is accused of murdering Mr. Grant Whitaker. I went to court today and they called just one witness, Elona Porter, who is the evidence technician supervisor. She was responsible for collecting evidence, sealing them, taking pictures of them, and submitting it to a lab for analysis. 

She talked about four things: what was found in Grant’s vehicle; things found in a tote bag; things removed during the course of Grant’s autopsy such as his shorts, boxers, and socks. The fourth thing is the ATV and where blood was found on it. 

In the car, a knife was found, as well as a wallet. As for the knife, during today’s livestream, Alex gave a recap in which he said there was no blood found on the knife. We are correcting it to say that the blade itself had no blood on it. But the handle had blood on it, which was determined by testing, but as for the DNA and whose blood it was, that’s to be determined by the lab.

Now, with the tote bag, a tent was retrieved and propped up. Elona Porter is 6’0 tall and she was able to stand inside of the tent, which means it was at least that tall or a bit more. She could stand upright inside of the tent. She saw in the left corner a large area covered with blood. The other areas didn’t have blood. She placed markers on it because there was hair and skull fragments, probably from the hole in Grant’s skull. Porter also looked through a sleeping bag in the tote and found it soaked with blood. She also found hearing aids, a flashlight, and a bong. She showed pictures of every object found in the tote bag and in the car. 

For the part with Grant’s autopsy, she showed pictures of Grant’s boxers and socks, and different things so the jurors can see them and process it. She showed that blood was found on the ATV with a lot of blood found behind the driver’s seat. 

After Porter left the witness stand, the judge called the district attorney and defense attorney to speak in private. After a lengthy conversation, the judge announced that today would be a short day and dismissed the parties. He said he’ll see them on Monday at 10:00 a.m., not 9:00 a.m. That was all, and I left.
