There were two things , at the committal hearing, that fascinated me.
I was always going to be more interested in the questions Davis asked, than the answers given... the statements of the witnesses called were already laid down, and there was no reason to believe they would deviate from them, .. which they didnt,...
But Davis surprised me in the angle of his questions on two matters, and he spent a lot of time, considering time wasnt exactly infinite.. not only a lot of time, but 4 witnesses, wait, I think it was 5.......
He wanted to know who had told Toni of the other women in Gerards life.. 2 witnesses, and I think about 50 mins on that..
And... Who told Gerard not to join in the search.. 3 witnesses on that and a fair bit of time..
Davis is instructed by Gerard.. this is how it works. Davis isnt running this thing, Gerard is, Gerard is paying Davis to be his advocate, and thats what Davis does.. he isnt a free agent...
So why were these two matters, seemingly utterly irrelevant on the face of things , important to Gerard?
