Bashara got royally bashed in that hearing yesterday. Judge Vonda Evans is a hero in my eyes. She understands the pressures Gentz is under. With his mental challenges, the truth is all he has. In the beginning, he went to friends to tell the truth and get guidance. Now, he is left to his brother to bring his thinking into order. Joe is proud that he can read, but Judge Vonda made him read the entire document. It is so clear that Joe knows what happened and what didn't, in spite of all the words he didn't recognize.
I'm sure that during his entire life, Joe has been bullied and used by people like Bashara. Today it was the mouse's turn to roar. IMHO, "Carlos" took his orders from the Bashara camp and upped the bully-ante for Joe. The man lives in terror and there is no reason to wonder why.
