1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: Togither dupless Ellen. I'm going to get to your text

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: on Chris Hepkins shortly. Right now, it's nineteen past five.

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: Got to go to the murder trial of Philip Pulkinghorn.

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: He is accused of murdering her. He says, this is

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: his wife, Pauline Hannah. He says she took her own life.

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: Chelsea Daniels covering the trial and is with us now,

7
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: h Chelse, I am a lot of messaging between Hannah

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 1: and poulking Horn. What have we learned from that?

9
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? So, defense lawyer Ron Mansfield question Detective Reeves. He

10
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 2: was in charge of looking at their phones and other tech.

11
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 2: He said, does seven plus formal written statements to assist

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 2: the jury that traversus Polkinghorn's relationship with Ashton? That's how

13
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: many he wrote. But did he review her work related

14
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 2: email history or the messaging between the husband and wife.

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: I did review the messages. I looked at them. I

16
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: didn't create a detailed report on it.

17
00:00:51,840 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 2: Bye. Was that because the messages didn't support the police narrative? Well?

18
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: As I said, the messages were not on day to

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: day messages?

20
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,919
Speaker 1: Or did those messages reveal a working, loving relationship between

21
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 1: the two of them.

22
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 2: So Mansfield produces a booklet of messages beginning twenty first

23
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 2: of February twenty twenty. He runs through the messages sent

24
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 2: back and forth between the couple, lots of ex'es, darlings,

25
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: and heart emojis, other emojis. A further messaging show the

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 2: pair checking in on each other, asking how they are.

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: Did these messages suggest a working, loving relationship, asks Manfield

28
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: and Mansfield and Reeves said they did, and he didn't

29
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: see any evidence of a conflict between the pair.

30
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: And we had a little bit of a bombshell this

31
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,400
Speaker 1: afternoon from the defense, right, Yeah.

32
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,919
Speaker 2: So Mansfield produces another exhibit, a timeline for Hannah's phone

33
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: usage for the early morning of April fifth, twenty twenty one,

34
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: the morning of her death. Mansfield goes through what apparently

35
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: happens when someone uses I message. When you start typing,

36
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: the app connects and log's activity even if you didn't

37
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: send the message. There's a log entry for around four am.

38
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: It appears Hannah's phone was logged drafting a message on

39
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 2: the morning of her death to Philip Polkinghorn. Minutes later,

40
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: another draft message to a friend's daughter. Neither of them

41
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,079
Speaker 2: sent The trial continues tomorrow.

42
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,560
