In there, it quotes the defense as saying "All the DNA evidence in this case, all it's going to show you at the end of this trial is that Mr. Davidson had vaginal, vaginal intercourse with Ms. Christian."
I remember when he said that, and I wondered how he could expect us to believe his "not guilty" of rape, if his dna was there...?
But being reminded of it now, after his talk about their mj and implying they were in the area, arouses my worst fear - that they might actually try saying Chris & Shannon went to Davidson for drugs and she had consensual sex with him for it. :no:
I hope with all my soul they don't dare, but after today... is it even possible?
Absolutely. I have been thinking about my father all day - wonderful man, but I believe that if he had been sitting there today, he would be in jail tonight.Yep Muffet, you and I fear the same thing about where this is going. Personally I think it's going to backfire. I fear that at some point Gary will be removed from the courtroom. There is only so much these parents can take.
