While I was needling regarding JA's characterizations of DB as an alcoholic chimney, the reason I beg to differ has to do with his testimony, which was initially reluctant and less than forthcoming.
I recall distinctly on Day 10, after her mentor, Gus Searcy testified, that
DB first denied recalling JA's telephonic gas can request --even under oath -- until continuing to be pressed by JM.

For context, start at the 1:33:00 point in the clip.
This was, of course,
after JA had brutally stabbed, sliced, and shot Travis Alexander, and DB was rather reluctant to openly testify that JA had called him in May of 2008 to ask him for a favor. In fact, he was a Defense witness.
When JM first questions DB about whether he remembers the phone call asking for the favor, DB answers, "No."
Then JM gets more specific. He asks whether DB remembers JA calling to ask to borrow two gas cans so that she could make a trip to Mesa, Arizona, and whether DB remembers that.
There is a rather long, awkward and very pregnant pause of nearly six seconds before DB barely whispers, "Yes."
You could almost hear everyone in that courtroom gasp when it happened.
And I rest my case regarding DB's allegiance to the lying torture-murderess.
