Now they've got to show that he wasn't on the phone to Atlanta, or they've got to show that the shooting took place before the phone call went down. If prosecutors can demonstrate that it was not Carruth using his own phone at the time of the killings, then the alibi phone bill becomes moot. If they can't demonstrate that someone else was making the call, then officials may have a sticky time explaining how, according to their own data, Carruth supervised a killing while on the phone to someone far away. Timeline becomes clear One of the problems the alibi phone bill raises in the case against Carruth is that it adds information to the timeline of the killing. Police record the estimated start of the shooting incident on their incident report filed that night.
Police record the estimated end of the shooting on their report.
The call placed on Carruth's cellular phone is ended. Adams is transported to Carolinas Medical Center, where she dies about a month later. I've seen police push the times around when it doesn't fit the case. That might be tough for a jury to swallow, however. The call times are always the times that the calls are made.
