So the defense attorney indicated that the witness is lying? 
How professional... of him. MOO

Poor audio for this trial and bold defense attorney. Does he come across as angry?
Redirect. Prosecutor that works in two speeds, slow and slower.

The state's third witness has been called. She has asked her face not be shared by the media.
Her name is Sandra and she managed Alissa at Jack N' the Box for about 6 months.

Judge Myers asked counsels how many witnesses left for today, but I didn't hear a response.

Some of what happened back in 2001, Alissa's manager did not have great recollection of. She described Alissa as a good employee and said Michael would be in the parking lot and visit when Alissa would work. But she also said that there was a possibility that Michael would have bee picking Alissa up. We are now in afternoon break.

The state says they will be hopefully calling two more witnesses today. Their fourth (total) is now in the court room. Jury is back and break is over.

Sarah Turney’s testimony wrapped up with questions from the jury. - Could you describe your father? Did he have a job, girlfriend, church, clubs etc.? - [You said] Alissa was kind, why did you also describe her as brave?

Thanks for posting these updates. I’m reading each one and hoping this jury brings Justice for Alissa!

It is my understanding that defense again requested mistrial: Motion for mistrial is denied by Judge Myers.
Defense motion to file witness’ last statement to strike from the record.
Motion to Strike (in front of the jury) denied by Judge Myers. MOO

She says she's aware of a contract Alissa had signed because Alissa told her about it. Charity says Michael Turney tried to get her parents to sign a contract but "they did not oblige." She did not see the contracts but says her mom told her about the interaction with Michael.
