Day 4 - May 23, 2022

The court reserved ruling on recorded calls involving defense counsel and Garcia, ordered translations of Spanish calls, and planned a Richardson hearing.

The court allowed disputed Apple account records to be used, finding no discovery violation and ordering any unprovided related discovery produced by lunchtime.

Defense cross-examination emphasized that cell-site records show handset coverage consistency rather than exact locations, challenged filtered call summaries, and introduced maps and color-coded call records as Defense Exhibits 10 through 17.

The court rejected a claimed sequestration violation and declined a curative instruction; defense counsel noted additional jail-call discovery.

Corbitt clarified wiretap logging, recording, and minimization procedures as the defense explored app-based communications and limits of the records.

Corbitt clarified phone and cell-site records, described July 19 location inferences, and the court admitted two State exhibits while allowing limited prior-testimony audio.

A longtime friend described Magbanua's relationships, work history, and an attributed July 2014 account; the court admitted several location, photograph, and vehicle exhibits.

Mascaro acknowledged uncertainty about several dates and said an unrecorded 2016 police report misstated her uncertainty over who paid for Magbanua's surgery.

Mascaro clarified limits on her knowledge of Magbanua's payroll arrangement and surgery payment, reaffirmed an error in a police report, and described her limited reaction to Garcia's arrest.

Mascaro used her Instagram to identify July 18, 2014, as the night Magbanua's children stayed with her.

Mascaro confirmed that her Instagram posts identified the exact day and provided a record of it.

Club Fate's former owner described its operations, Magbanua's brief work as a cocktail server, employee earnings, and the loss of office records to water damage.

Naber acknowledged limits on his income estimates, memory, and access to Club Fate records; the court admitted a defense photograph of Magbanua.

Naber reaffirmed Magbanua's limited employment at Club Fate and confirmed credit-card tipping practices.

June Umchinda described her relationship with Charlie Adelson, limited observations of cash at his home, and what he told her about an older Lexus provided to Katherine Magbanua.

June Umchinda said she had limited knowledge of Charles Adelson's connection to Katherine Magbanua or the homicide investigation, as the defense explored media exposure and her 2018 interview.

Lebredo described Adelson Institute operations and said Magbanua was a one-time dental patient, not someone she saw working there.

Lebredo said she lacked knowledge of the Adelsons' check-writing practices and any arrangement involving Magbanua's paychecks.

Lebredo said multiple sequential paychecks occurred once a year and that Magbanua was not part of the office cleaning team.

Johnson said she never saw Magbanua work at the Adelson Institute and described its staffing, payroll, and a recorded 2016 call to Charlie Adelson after agents requested records.

Johnson acknowledged uncertainty in her earlier testimony about Katie's employment and limits on her knowledge of Adelson Institute check-writing.

Johnson said the Adelson Institute did not schedule patients on Fridays but qualified that she did not know what occurred there when she was absent.

The court excluded counsel-and-Garcia and Spanish jail calls, allowed English calls for the State's stated impeachment use, and set a Crawford hearing and Wednesday jury-instruction deadline.
