ok...this is just too damn long to grab every tweet.
lol
All David Lombardi...
OK, standby. I am going to tweet Judge Klippen’s dramatic takedown of the Santa Clara County DA’s case against Reuben Foster in this thread.
Klippen began by saying what I was tweeting this morning: That the court’s decision will be based on the totality of the evidence, and not just individual pieces that have been sensationalized on social media.
Klippen emphasized that Ennis recanted just 2 days after her initial allegations. Klippen acknowledged that DV victims do often recant, so other evidence must considered. And that’s when Klippen began tearing into the DA’s case….
Klippen first addressed the topic of Ennis’ emotional state. That was conveyed by the 911 calls and by the motorist whom Ennis flagged down to call 911, Eugenio Pirir. Klippen emphasized that Ennis was abnormally calm on 2nd call, and Pirir testified she was “really calm” too
Klippen: Ennis “was unusually calm and collected” for most of the 911 dialing. She sounded frantic in one of the calls. Klippen: “Is that because the defendant was breaking up with her?” (Not because Foster was hitting her)
Klippen pointed out that only 9 minutes passed between both of Ennis’ 911 calls, and that there’d be no way she would be able to gather herself into a calm state for the second call had she really been punched 10 times by Foster.
Then, in a clear at shot at the DA, Judge Klippen noted that Pirir, the 911 motorist himself, corrected prosecutor Kevin Smith on the stand. Smith said Ennis “was running” to Pirir’s truck. Pirir corrected Smith: “No, she was not running. She was walking."
Judge Klippen then noted that there were several law enforcement officers (12, to be exact) called to the scene: “NONE of them noted that (Ennis) upset, nervous, crying, scared, or anything of that nature… (They simply noted) that the dog was OK."
