If LB does not show up for court defense gets to read her deposition. So how will SA handle this when they know her statement is false or will HHJP allow it but warn the jury that LB has admitted under oath that the statement she gave to defense if false?
It's not an automatic thing that you get to read the witness's deposition if they don't show up. But in any event, what would the defense want to read out of her deposition? The part where she said she had no idea where the body was ultimately found and doesn't think she searched that spot (wherever it was)?
