Overview

• Lead investigator Skyler Rocz testified that iPhone movement and app logs show Sarah Hartsfield was active from about 6 a.m. to 1 p.m., contradicting her claim she slept under narcotic pain medication.
• Rocz said the only hour with no recorded movement on Hartsfield’s phone was 1 to 2 p.m., when she reported finding Joseph unresponsive and calling 911 after saying she discovered his condition at 1 p.m.
• Detectives testified that a screenshot of Joseph Hartsfield’s Apple Legacy Contact key was sent from his phone to Sarah’s and saved around 5 a.m., which investigators believe she sent to herself.
• The judge is weighing whether jurors will see hundreds of messages Hartsfield sent from jail, including notes to media outlets, after prosecutors argued they reveal her own account; the defense objected as prejudicial.
• Jurors have also heard about investigative lapses such as uncollected insulin pens and a juice glass, along with testimony on prior allegations including arson, a murder-plot claim, and a 2018 Minnesota shooting now under renewed review.
