Too bad the last person on the phone with him was not someone who could present better on the witness stand![]()
This is true and she's the state's star witness too.

Morning All. :seeya:
Looking forward to today. No matter what you think of Rachel, she IS entertaining.
I'll be interested to see how cross continues. I think the defense started going down the road that with the times that were on the cell phone report, there seems to be noticeable gaps in the story that she's telling. I think that's why he had her read the cell report and that's going to get emphasized in closing. Something that I saw last night was the saying of 'get off me' is a new development, this is not something she referenced in her earlier depositions.
Despite her being young, despite her story, despite her attitude and demeanor on the stand, I don't know how I would feel if this was my 'star' witness.
I think this is the video version.

As I understand it the defense can agree to allow the jury to consider lesser include charges like manslaughter. If they do not agree I believe it would be up to the judge.Quick question. I did some reading last night, but found myself very confused(not unusual). For manslaughter to be on the table, does both the defense and prosecution have to agree to it? Or does the judge just decide? Sorry if I'm confusing anyone and if it's a dumb question, this is just the first trial I've really followed and I really didn't get that part.
I think he's going to compare times from her cell record with Trayvon and the times of George's call to the non-emergency number to try impeach her story of where George following TM at certain points or at least where he was in relation to TM.
I think she came across very well.Too bad the last person on the phone with him was not someone who could present better on the witness stand![]()
Re: Rachel, IMO, the judge should rule that only the audio nd video of any of her testimony be entered. .. the way she speaks, I think many people would transcribe her words differently from what she actually says.
At least on tape, individuals could decide for themselves what she said.
