I'm trying to figure out how he was such a wonderful "provider"--

She says "It's a dirty game" is a saying they used in their neighborhood growing up. #McTear said this to reporters after his arrest.

Hill calls #McTear a "phenomenal provider." Kind of hard to understand given that he's been in jail for 5 years, half her son's life

McTear's defense atty Theda James is suggesting Hill was pushed by Hillsborough detectives to say #McTear threatened her.

I think ReKale Hill is holding up quite well as a witness, especially with the defense. She is not giving in! imo

Defense lawyer says she gave a sworn statement June 8, 2010, to attorneys contradicting her statement that #McTear threatened her

I've been impressed with how young she is--she is doing great!

#McTear's defense is having Hill re-read her deposition from 2010. They're saying it's inconsistent with what she's saying now

In her deposition, Hill said of her conversation w/ McTear: “he was talking so fast, I really don’t recall what he was saying” #mcteartrial

They are picking and choosing what they want out of that report though. Typical defense strategy.

Morning recess in #mctear #mcteartrial

Prosecution has asked that Jasmine Bedwell, the mother of the baby allegedly killed by #McTear, be allowed to watch the trial. #mcteartrial

Jasmine Bedwell does get to come in courtroom---but when someone from her housing testifies she has to leave. I also think they will be monitoring her emotions
