Cross-examination
Mr Elias, for Cole, refers Ms Brooks to her statement that Williamson never referred to her partner by name and told her he would “do anything for her”.
Ms Brooks confirms this
He said: “She told you (Cole) had shouted across the court ‘I love you’ on the day she was charged with murder.”
Ms Brooke
Mr Rouch, for Williamson, cross examines the witness.
He said: “From day one, Angie didn’t like you and made that perfectly plain to you
Ms Brooks said: “That’s not correct, if that was the case why did she come to my room to talk to me?”
Mr Rouch said: “Did you think she was trying to turn other women on the wing against you?”
Ms Brooks said: “Later on yes, but all of what I said had occurred prior to that.”
Mr Rouch said: “I’m going to suggest you and (another prisoner) kept yourselves to yourselves and were outcasts on the cleaning team.”
Ms Brooks said: “I would say you are incorrect sir.”
Mr Rouch said: “You were trying to probe her about what she was in custody for?”
Ms Brooks said: “Absolutely not.”
Mr Rouch said: “She gave you the briefest of details and said it was about the death of her child.”
Ms Brooks said: “That’s incorrect.”
Mr Rouch said: “What else you learned about the case was from snippets of conversation.”
Ms Brooks said: “Everything I have said is what Angie told me face to face.”
Mr Rouch “There was a lot of talk going round the prison about the case.”
Ms Brooks said: “Of course, because it was on the news but what I told you was not gossip, it was said to me face to face.”
Mr Rouch said: “She told you she went to Logan’s funeral and it was a nice funeral?”
Ms Brooks said: “That’s what she told me… It was just her and I sat together on a bench.”
Mr Rouch said: “You said she had changed her story and was in bed listening to loud music. I’m saying you overheard where she had been at the time.”
Ms Brooks said: “What was said to me was said to me by Angie.”
The barrister refers to the topic of the lights.
He said: “Tell us how she said the lights would prove her innocence.”
Ms Brooks said: “I wasn’t interested in what she had to say at this point, she would come to your room and spurt this information.
Mr Rouch said: “If someone faces a murder charge in realtion to a child, life in prison could be difficult.”
Ms Brooks said: “I wouldn’t know, I’ve never faced such a charge.”
Mr Rouch said: “Efforts were being made to prevent people finding out who (Williamson) was.”
Ms Brooks said: “No, Angie told me these things herself.”
Mr Rouch said: “Was she a person up and down emotionally?”
Ms Brooks said: “It would depend on the situation and who was watching.”
