@MearsyNHL @NHL_On_TNT @EdmontonOilers @LAKings @armdog @Jackie_Redmond @JLGP34 Dude there are two teams on the ice. Stop cheerleading for EDM, it’s unprofessional

Hey @CNN were you prepared for this debate? It doesn’t sound like it. @jaketapper @DanaBashCNN start fact checking them, cut them off if need be. That’s your job.

@JimFox19 LA has been dominating this game. Too bad the one goal was on a phantom call

[Scott23ABC @Sheahen23ABC]

We are waiting for the judge and jury to hear a verdict in the #HernandezTrial. I talked with the #BPD officer’s family, who died in the pursuit, they say they’re optimistic about the ruling.

@alex_faust @LAKings Where are you getting your stat from? If STL loses then wins out and LA loses out both will have 96pts and STL will have the tiebreaker 45 wins to 44. If STL loses in regulation then wins out to LA’s lose out STL will have 97pts to LA’s 96pts.

Judge Lua in #HernandezTrial is reading the jury their instructions before allowing the lawyers to start their closing arguments.

[Scott23ABC @Sheahen23ABC]

Judge in Julian #HernandezTrial ruled he’ll instruct the jury to consider causation the same as intent when deciding on the evidence of #Bakersfield #Police officer David Nelson’s death.

@HsvMayorsOffice I would like to see the courthouse be moved down the hill closer to HPD so HSV can put a mixed-use restaurants, loft apartments and offices downtown in the courthouse’s place.

The #JulianHernandez trial is on lunch recess. Talked with both lawyers on their way out. Both have no comments about the case, but both still aren’t expecting a full day.

[Scott23ABC @Sheahen23ABC]

Also during the mid-morning recess #JulianHernandez’s lawyer questioned why a shotgun the isn’t in working order without a stock would be significant to this case and why his client should face charges pertaining to the shotgun.

[Scott23ABC @Sheahen23ABC]

Most interesting part of today’s #JulianHernandez trial was the part of the mid-morning break on the record without the jury about the significance of the DNA on the shotgun and shell found near the pursuit and the shotgun itself.

[Scott23ABC @Sheahen23ABC]

Judge Lua of the #JulianHernandez trial with the jury on break said, just because a person’s DNA is on evidence doesn’t directly link them to the crime because we don’t know when that DNA was placed on the evidence.

[Scott23ABC @Sheahen23ABC]

DNA tech on the stand of #JulianHernandez trial testified that the DNA on the shell inside the shotgun is a likely match to the quadrillions. Waiting for prosecution to show how that lead to officer Nelson’s death. Court is on mid-morning recess.

[Scott23ABC @Sheahen23ABC]

First prosecution witness in #JulianHernandez trial is a DNA tech to analyze the shotgun found near the pursuit scene and comparing it to Hernandez’s DNA.

[Scott23ABC @Sheahen23ABC]

Before the jury in the #JulianHernandez trial was brought in, one of the alternate jurors was released of their duties due to a family emergency. There are still two more alternate jurors.

[Scott23ABC @Sheahen23ABC]

During the afternoon of the #JulianHernandez trial the prosecution brought in 3 BPD officers to testify about prior run-ins with Hernandez. Twice they say he ran away from #BPD the other they say he offered to fight an officer out of his uniform. #Bakersfield

[Scott23ABC @Sheahen23ABC]

The #JulianHernandez trial has recessed for lunch. Talked with the defense lawyer off camera, he told me the prosecution still hasn’t produced any evidence that Hernandez showed maliace to kill an officer like he is charged with. Waiting for prosecuting lawyer #Bakersfield

[Scott23ABC @Sheahen23ABC]

Prosecution in #JulianHernandez trial calls a #BPD crime lab tech who responded to the accident the #BPD officer David Nelson got into while in pursuit.

[Scott23ABC @Sheahen23ABC]

Detective finishes on the stand in #JulianHernandez trial. Prosecution showed 3 surveillance videos with estimated speeds of 102, 91 & 66 mph and estimates the suspect ran at least one stop sign. #Bakersfield
