Hey Annie, it's great to be back for week seven. We're well into the defense's case by now, and this week we've heard some of the most surprising testimony yet, so let's get right into it. Monday the 2nd was honestly maybe one of the wildest days we've had in court so far.

First thing in the morning, we got to hear Judge Canone's ruling about those text messages between Proctor and his friends that we talked about last week. And in a rare win for the defense, Canone said that the defense will be allowed to introduce those texts without calling Proctor as a witness.

She said, quote, I do find that they're properly authenticated, and I find that they come in as they go to the state of mind of Trooper Proctor. specifically as that goes to potentially reflecting any bias or omissions in the police investigation, end quote. But she did allow the prosecution to redact some specific portions of the messages.

And it turns out we didn't have to wait that long to hear the texts, because the next witness was Jonathan Diamantes, who's Michael Proctor's longtime friend and someone who was in the group chat with those text messages. Now, interestingly, the defense introduced these into evidence, but they didn't actually have Jonathan read any of the texts, although the prosecution actually did.

Now, from what I've researched, this could be a strategy from the defense to make the text seem even worse coming from the prosecution's own side, or it could be that the defense was, you know, saving the text for a bigger moment, but the prosecution happened to jump on them first to try to do some damage control.

Now, as for the texts themselves, they show that even Proctor thought that the people at 34 Fairview could have been involved in John's death. His friend asked, quote, So the owner of the house was a cop that beat him up? Proctor said, quote, That's what I initially thought after talking to Canton paramedics.

Then when talking about if the collision was intentional, Proctor said, quote, That's a whole nother animal we won't be able to prove. So even Proctor thinks that intentional homicide isn't provable. But still, he says, quote, zero chance she's skating. She's effed. Really professional conduct from a decorated state trooper, right? But just wait, it gets worse.
