... the experienced witness answers only what is asked, no more and no less, and forces the other atty to try to ask the right questions. You don't build their case for them or open doors for them - you answer what is asked, and only that, as narrowly as possible without avoiding the question, and then let the chips fall where they may.
To reiterate, no one has questioned the accuracy of what BF tweeted. What is being questioned is about the skewing of the content of that tweet, the
content of what LE believes, per BF.
From what BF reported, it cannot be said truthfully that LE believes or LE said they believe "that Hunter did indeed give drugs to CM."
BF said "Stamm believes ChristinaMorris
could have been given drugs by Hunter ..." - - ie they believe it's a theoretical possibility.
BF did
NOT (!!) say "Stamm believes ChristinaMorris
was given drugs by Hunter ..." - - ie they believe it actually happened.
There is a huge difference between the theoretical and the actual.
Any assertion that "Well, I'm sure that's what they think, even if they didn't really say it" is putting one's own words and thoughts into LE's mouth. LE did not say that and there is no proof that LE thinks that.
IMO Stamm was smart in her reply, in fact so genius that some apparently don't get it. She coyly
didn't provide any info either way in her reply. We all have known all along that CM "could have" had drugs given her by HF, and we also know that maybe she didn't, and Stamm did nothing but tell us that LE also sees the various possibilities. The defense was fishing for info, and she gave them nothing and kept them guessing, which was the goal.
