For all three trials, the Armstrongs' security system logs have been the talker. On Thursday, jurors were walked through the system's activity, focusing on the night into the morning of the murders.
On day three of A.J. Armstrong's third capital murder trial, the jury heard the then-16-year-old's 911 call, and nearly hourlong interview with police.Understanding the Armstrong family's ADT home security system is an essential part of A.J. Armstrong's capital murder trial. But, the records are tedious, monotonous, and complex-a lot for the six men and six women on this jury to process.
The alarm was set, the doors and windows were locked, and that's why the killer had to come from inside the house - that's what prosecutors have said for three trials now.Before digging into the alarm records from the night and morning of the murders, Trask spent hours explaining to the jury how the system worked.Alarm.com is the company that manages the alarm records, and data delivered to their servers via a cloud system, while ADT is a company within Alarm.
A.J. Armstrong's bedroom was on the third floor, while his parents' bedroom was on the second floor, which is relevant to understanding these records, Trask said. For example: There are times in which the records show a door is opened, followed by another record of the same door opening, which, is impossible. DaCosta explained while the record of the door "closing" was not relayed to their cloud system, it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Hour after hour of trying to explain extremely technical alarm systems and records left several jurors bleary, some struggling to stay awake. Then, Trask brought it all back to the Armstrong text messages the jury saw one day earlier.
