Defense calls Marcus Leggett Sr. Knew #McTear all his life. He played Little League baseball

Elaine Silvestrini ‏@ElaineTBO 13s
Leggett coached #McTear in baseball when he lived w his grandmother. He didn't play as much when he moved in w his mother.

#McTear didn't agree w the things his mother did, witness says. He would refer to his aunt as his mother.

Elaine Silvestrini ‏@ElaineTBO 11s
#McTear didn't want people to know who his mother was. Next witness

I think the State successfully defused the pastor's testimony by getting it across that McTear chose to turn his back on all the good, the church, scripture etc.
