She doesn't seem to be too popular these days (or maybe I'm simply looking through WS colored glasses)
. All I know of on the defense side are two expert witnesses, one who's specialty is with PTSD, I believe, and the other a Domestic Violence expert.
I can't wait for JM's cross with LaViolette - you gotta know he's going to ask her about her Snow White theory... or maybe not. He's not as sophomoric as I seem to be today. I'm looking forward to it, anyway...
Does she have any friends? She basically absorbed Travis' friends (and faith, and home, and social group, etc.). I've never heard of any recent friends at all. Just the one that knew her in high school and hasn't seen or spoken to JA in almost 15 years (Tina Ross) - who the TH circuit labeled as a "close friend"... (?)
She's stayed in touch with boyfriends, apparently, but I think anyone the DT calls to testify would likely have to be subpoenaed/required to be a witness on her behalf.
But I don't know... maybe her mother - grandfather - a family member might take the stand... maybe her old HS art teacher...
I think a former cellie/inmate was on their list - but I never heard anything official.
The State has an DV/abuse specialist lined up, and there are rumors about Matt McCartney but we probably won't know about him until we see him walk into the courtroom - IF he is called.
I don't see anyone lying for her, I really don't. Especially if they've been watching the cross-examination over the last few days...
