A wireless communications expert this morning testified Will Lynch’s cell phone made a number of calls from near a Jesuit retirement center the day he allegedly beat a priest.
Jim Cook said Lynch’s cell phone made eight calls from the Los Gatos-Campbell area, in the area of the Sacred Heart center, on the same day when Rev. Jerold Lindner was attacked, May 10, 2010.
The calls were made between 2:36 p.m. and 3:04 p.m., Cook said. Earlier in the day, the phone was used to call the center from San Francisco, where Lynch lives.
On cross of the prosecution’s Modesto-based wireless expert, Lynch’s lead attorney Pat Harris went on the attack.
First, he asked how much Cook was being paid, a standard question typically lobbed by both sides.
Cook said $175 an hour, or a little over $6,000.
