Great report and amazing details as always.

Cohen seems pissed about his star witness Reyes saying she was paraphrasing. She also seemed to back up what these victims are saying. She talks shit about telling these girls not to talk with witnesses, then tells them to call and record calls with witnesses on a police audio system with a compromised number. Then she has the audacity to tell these women that she thinks they are "contaminating" the evidence. Seems Reyes is the one who should have been doing a better job.

You sound like a Scientology shill, or a Danny simp.

Meyers? The one who wrote up the rape as an “injury report.” He didn’t come across as the most diligent note taker. Definitely not Cop of the Year.

And Reyes already said she was paraphrasing, and the main point is she told her he threatened her with a gun. Where it’s pointing doesn’t matter. Reyes also, doesn’t come across as very professional.

If this is all that the defense has, then Danny is fucked. He better be getting mentally prepared to spend the rest of his life in prison. His Defense is lacking, especially after all the moneys he’s spent.

Just using common sense.

Officer Myers corroborated every single thing JD1 was saying, except for the gun. Also, JD1 says that she told both detectives about the gun. The LAPD's competence overall is something the jury will take into account when evaluating the veracity of these witnesses. Not having corroboration for the gun back in 2003 is perhaps the biggest thing the defense has. Which is not much at all. When you're facing 45 years just for rape that is a life sentence, don't even need the gun enhancement.

Now for the cross-pollination you mentioned. What evidence do you have of this?! Their stories are similar because they were raped in a similar way. JD1 and JD2 stories are most similar, and they have been consistently saying the same things a decade before they knew each other. This was testified to by JD2's Mom and JD2's best friend. So what was shared?!?! Nobody will say.

All in all. Defense is doing a very bad job at raising reasonable doubt and are running out of time. Mueller is methodically showing that something very very bad happened to these women 20 years ago. Masterson is trying his best to bury his head in the sand and hopes L Ron saves him.

It seems very odd not to have read and re-read the interviews before questioning, makes the officer look pretty amateur!
