I've just finished reading Cindi's testimony and all I can say is "What a train wreck." I don't quite understand why he was even allowed to ask her the majority of the questions that he asked her. This whole defamation suit, I get it, I do, but most of his questions really had nothing to do with clearing this woman's name. I am not sticking up for Cindi, I think that she knows way more than she claims, but then I also think that she probably can't believe what she knows because it's too painful. The entire thing makes my head hurt.
Another thing that nags me is some of the stuff that she has not lied about. For example, how hard would it be for her to say that she met Zanieda one time at some random place, just to make it seem that Zaneida exists. If she were really lying for Casey, this would be an easy lie. I just don't get the whole thing. This family is really messed up.
In depositions, there does not have to be any relevance proved, because they are fact seeking events.
In this case, I do see the relevance of the questions about Sawgrass and KC's friends there.
I see the relevance in whether they believed the lies she told and how they were lied to about her working. (if no job, no need for a nanny)
I see the relevance about their financial help because if KC did not have a job, she could not be paying a nanny.
I see the relevance to the stolen credit cards, the stolen money from the grandparents and the Anthonys as that establishes that she was not working and needed money for something.
I see the relevance about the income taxes, and who claimed Caylee. All of the things he asked were very relevant if the Anthonys had been straight up and answered appropriately.
Interesting to me, he did not really ask anything which they had not sworn to before in their interviews, but this time they changed their story and became hostile. When a witness like that turns hostile they are usually covering up something by lying and that is normally when attorneys go "in for the kill." They were really very easy on both of them considering how hostile and how they had changed their prior stories.
