There was something about Sandy and Tanisha? and she had walked past her, no big deal really. I think it was taken care of in the judges chambers. Of course Wilmont and Nurmi asked for a mistrial. BUT the defense did have a witness approach Samantha . Alyce LaViolette.
Alyce LaViolette asked for a break for herself, which I thought was a little strange because we`re getting ready to have a break in five minutes, and because it was the first day that juror five was in the courtroom and it was the first break for that, all of the attention went over to the public side where she was sitting.
However, I sit with the family and with Travis` family. So, I was sitting right behind the family. Most of them had already exited to the victim room, but Samantha, his sister, was still sitting right in front of me, and I witnessed Alyce LaViolette walk straight up to Samantha Alexander, lean down, get inches from her face and say something - Katiecoolady
Juan: You seem to be having trouble answering my questions. If you have a problem understanding the question, ask me that. Do you want to spar with me? Is that -- will that affect the way you view your testimony?
Alyce: You`re implying that I think that I`m lying about what I do. And I don`t lie about what I do, Mr. Martinez. Boy did she step in a hornets nest then. Juan had her.
Juan: : Ma`am, I`m not implying. I`m indicating that you`re misrepresenting. It goes from bad to worst for Aylce.
