"During tearful testimony, Glassey explained she never met Antonio and hadn’t seen her mother before today, except briefly four years ago, ever since West lost custody when Glassey was 8. West called her the evening of the murder to give the news of her stepbrother’s death."

So, Glassey hasn't seen her mother but once in 13 years. IMO she has a grudge and possibly wanted to get even with her mom. Wonder if Gough asked Glassey if she, herself, had any mental problems.

I am lost. What in the world is "the outrageous government conduct"
I do wish he would explain his tweets.

I don't know. I was trying to listen, but couldn't understand most of what was said.

I don't think the daughter's testimony will hurt the mom's credibility that much. It is not that big of a deal, imo, that she first said the baby was shot first, then later said he was shot last. She was obviously in shock and was totally overwhelmed. I don't see how that testimony from her estranged daughter makes this sitting defendant innocent.

Tape is still playing.. West is going off on deep tangent. She talks abt finding love again but still having issues w/ Antonio's father.

Thank YOU for all your updates

I don't see how this tape, which shows a grieving woman with mentAl Health issues, does anything to prove Elkin's innocence.

I just watched the video of the daughter testifying. I get a bad vibe from her. I think she wants to punish her mother for something. But I find her testimony drama laced and I don't find her credible.

Feed is frozen for me. Anyone else?

The feed stopped for me a few minutes ago...anyone else still watching SW's police interview?

My mother talked about her father's life insurance on the same day he died as well. She wanted to begin planning his funeral, to take the burden off her mother. And she wondered how much insurance there was and when it woyld be available for the funeral expenses.

Sherry West was probably grieving and talking nervously. Asking about a 5 thousand dollar insurance policy does not make her GUILTY of shooting her baby in the head.

After offering condolences for my loss, The funeral director asked if there were any life insurance policies and that they would handle filing for me. The cost of the funeral was deducted from the insurance proceeds and the balance was mailed to me in a check.

That said, some funeral homes offer funerals for infants and children at no cost. Some churches and cemeteries also offer burial plots for infants and children at no charge if the parents do not have the funds to bury their babies and/or children.

This interview was done either after she got of the hospital after being treated or the next day. The defense attorney is trying to take advantage of that fact. She is an articulate young woman, just not sophisticated. And she's probably nervous. I was married to an LEO for 26 years and still got nervous walking into the police station or a room full of cops. Don't you all dare tell a soul that :scared:

She 'aced' the witness stand, IMHO. Didn't let the defense flap her.

If you mean the taped interview being shown in court, it was the same day of the shooting and after she went to the hospital. Strange she wasn't kept in the hospital longer with the bullet in her leg. The detective kept referring to the shooting as "this morning".

I taped up until the feed froze, I will try to post on youtube later today.
