I thought she made confession then recanted that confession. I know there have been hearings prior to the case. Has Julianna testified in court already?

She gave testimony in the form of a confession the second time she gave a police interview. She gave her personal testimony on both occasions when question. It is a choice of words and perhaps the wrong words used on my part. I am the original poster you are quoting.

She plead guilty in court on her own charges, and had them reduced. She gave a full confession which is considered very strong evidence against Branden. That statement included the catfishing both she and Branden perpetrated on Joseph Ryan. She admitted to the call speaking with Ryan, and spoke of the other communications Branden had with Joe as Christine priar to the murder of Christine and Joseph. It included her full confession of the laying in wait for the victim Joe, and how the murder went down on that day.

The articles that have come out about the catfishing theory being a police conspiracy are just that a conspiracy theory placed by the defense to cast doubt on the police force itself. It didnt stick with the judge, she did rule the case would continue as is she saw NO MISCONDUCT ON THE PART OF THE POLICE INVESTIGATION or of the district autonies office. She did rule that anything about the forensic officers movement of his position be disclosed to the defense team, but did not allow that information about the lead detective Kyle Bryant be disclosed as he stayed with the case the entirety of the case, and his was a literal move with the department and not cause for questioning. In addition it is clear also during the court hearing that it is typical to have many multiple theories about a case among many detectives, it is the nature of an investigation, nothing is set until it is set and goes to trial. This case has a vast amount of carefully collected and anylized evidence and a strong eye witness account, and confession with Julianna.

Again I say this is a nothing burger presented as a conspiracy by the defense and reporters are not emphasizing the ruling by the judge or the common occurrences of such a movement made by the defense attorney. This is not unusual for pre trial, and the cat fishing still very much stands as part of the prosecutions case against Branden. News reporters can and have gotten many things wrong, they have proven they jump to conclusions, or mislead in titles of articles to grab attention or make it news worthy. There is no fresh meat here….

Rot in hell, Brendan

I don't get it. What part of her testimony did she recant? Wouldn’t that nullify her deal?

No she recanted her first statements/testimony with the second testimony which she detailed how Branden and she catfished, and killed Joe and that Branden killed Christine himself. Thats when they gave her the deal to be willing to testify in court what the real or new story was.

This. She lied first, but when they offered her a deal, she told a different story.

She’ll make a great witness.
