| 0:00.0 | What you know, alibiers, welcome to another episode of Pretty Lies and Alibis. I'm Gigi at Saturday, |
| 0:06.1 | August 30th. We're going to get all caught up today with yesterday's testimony. The state rested. |
| 0:13.0 | So the defense case will start on Tuesday. There is no court Monday. It is a holiday. |
| 0:19.1 | Next week on Wednesday, I'm supposed to leave for CrimeCon. |
| 0:22.9 | So this is an issue. My biggest fear is that Donna is going to be on the stand when I'm flying to Denver and then at CrimeCon. |
| 0:30.1 | But we will figure out what to do. Let's jump into day six. They start off talking about the arrest. |
| 0:42.3 | Sigfrido was arrested May 25th of 2016. Rivera was served a few days after that on June 3rd. He was already in custody. |
| 0:48.3 | Katie was arrested October 1st and then Charlie, a few years later, April 21st, 2022. Katie was found guilty and proffered, |
| 0:57.2 | or told all. This was after she was convicted at the second trial. Her proffer took place on |

| 1:18.1 | Charlie first approached her on Halloween 2013 on Lincoln Road about hiring someone, and Charlie's |
| 1:24.9 | former attorney, Dan Rashbaum, confirmed Charlie was in fact there at this |
| 1:29.6 | party. So back to the calls, we're going to jump into the what I call the hot mic call or the |
| 1:35.8 | dropped jail call and that call is what led to Donna being arrested. This was the day after |
| 1:41.9 | Charlie's conviction. The call starts off with the call being dropped. |
| 1:46.0 | She's asking, Charlie, can you hear me? |
| 1:49.0 | Now, they do have a friend in the room. |
| 1:51.0 | His name is Mr. Brothman. |
| 1:53.0 | Donna tells the people in the room that Charlie is in a room where they watch you 24-7, |
| 1:58.0 | so he doesn't harm himself. |
