Testimony

BROCCHINI: She called me and said that she had seen a female come out of the front gate or back gate of the house.
GERAGOS: Okay. And that was, she called you at about 1:53 in the morning on Sunday the 19th of January, 2003?
BROCCHINI: Yes.
GERAGOS: And she said that she had seen somebody exit the gate. Which gate did she tell you?
BROCCHINI: I'd have to look to be sure, Mr. Geragos.
GERAGOS: Okay. 1105 is the top. 1175 Bates number stamp on the lower right.
BROCCHINI: Okay. The north side gate. So that would have been the one right in front of the cars on the driveway.
JUDGE: Use the pointer, detective.
GERAGOS: Do you have the pointer there?
BROCCHINI: She saw her come out this gate right here.
GERAGOS: Okay. And said that went to the trunk of a white Honda Civic that was facing southbound on the west side of e 10 the street. Where would that have been? Maybe I better put this down and you can show on People's 33.
BROCCHINI: What did I tell you?
JUDGE: Southbound on west the side of the street.
BROCCHINI: Same side of the street as the Peterson house, facing down.
GERAGOS: Heading in this direction towards Encina. So the front of the car was facing towards Encina?
BROCCHINI: Yes.
GERAGOS: Now, you said that the person went to the trunk of a white Honda, opened the trunk, and had carried out a bundle from the house; is that correct?
BROCCHINI: Yes.
GERAGOS: And placed that bundle into the trunk of the car?
BROCCHINI: Yes.
GERAGOS: Okay. And she said that she saw the woman walking around in the front yard, correct?
BROCCHINI: Yes. She saw her walk around in the front yard talking to herself, she said.
GERAGOS: That would have been back to People's 38.
BROCCHINI: Okay.
GERAGOS: Then she called the police; is that correct?
BROCCHINI: Yes.
GERAGOS: And she identified the female as somebody who appeared to be the same one who had been walking the dog. You understood walking the dog to mean walking MacKenzie, the Peterson's dog?

Pictures from Segments 3/9

These are stills of the sun in segment 3, showing the position of the sun.  On July 27, 2002, sunrise was at 6:04 a.m., sunset at 8:17 p.m., and the day was 14 hours, 13 minutes, and 16 seconds.  Is this the position the sun would be at 2 hours and 20 minutes after sunrise?
