I listened to some testimony today, namely JY's sister, brother in law, father in law and some of PY through the miracle of the iphone.
Rebuttal character evidence. No issue there.
Except this. I think the PT missed a chance to demonstrate (if my idea is correct) that JY was a liar and the rebuttal character evidence of little value.
Listening to the testimony, I was thinking I would have asked the brother/sister if they thought JY was usually honest with them (yes) and did they know of a dark side (no) so their opinions of him were based in part on those two things. Then ask he they knew about MM, the anniversary, what's her name on the living room floor just before the murder, the email to the third woman, the d*ick tricks, the telling MY in an email he "could kill her." Hopefully, they'd say no to knowing about each of those things, and then end the c-x. The idea would be either JY kept a side of himself from his family, or if they did know about all that they have a funny definition of imp.
As it is, the c-x seemed mostly to be notes on the direct, which is fine, but for example the c-x about the yearbook awards went on and on and I thought just made them sound that much more important. They did happen after all. BH did lay a lick in on noting the day of the 6G checks was the same day of suit (didn't notice though if she said the day the suit was served); however, not much action overall.
all imo.
Anyway, I'd have preferred to see a strategy to the c-x'es, from the G side. These weren't surprise witnesses after all.
The surprise witness was the state trooper being called, imo.
That was brillant, and left no doubt the accident was just that, an accident.
The family being called was a given, but we did get to hear that they did not go inside Applebee's ,
which some of us knew, and that cleared that up finally.
The state and the defense traded witnesses on a few things.
Last time Jennifer Sproles was called by the Pros, they were hoping she would say Jason was hyper or acting strange.......
She refused to do so !!
And, the defense called Keith Patterson , who was a Pros witness last time, and he showed all the dropped calls in the mountains.
So, I give the defense an A++++ for today.
The only other witnesses I know for sure will be:
Demetrius Barrett, ( Jason's friend)
Cindy Beaver (extrememly credible witness who saw a car at 5:30 am)
I am thinking maybe if they found the accident victim, but I feel
Klinkosum is getting ready for something big.......HUGE.
JMO< of course.
