Dunn has to take the stand in order to prove his self defense claim.

 

[CarolinaMoon]

Ah, a character witness.

 

[Leilei]

Ah, a character witness.

I remember from the first trial that the character witnesses were pretty much his mother and father's friends. I don't remember this man, who says he was his mentor... anyone else remember if he testified last time?

 

[CarolinaMoon]

I remember people from the "air" community and he used the word "peaceable" so it's possible he did. The character witnesses were mostly Daddy's friends.

They also called wife #1. Never did call #2 or #3, the ones a neighbor witnessed being abused by Dunn. PEACEABLE? BAH!!! IMHO:moo:

I'm pretty sure both did.

 

[Leilei]

Totally avoiding the question.

 

[seattlechiquita]

Hi again.... whodat? Seems to me defense counsel is trying REALLY, REALLY HARD to have this witness vouch for MD. Too funny.

 

[seattlechiquita]

Call me dense, but wth is the purpose of these witnesses? I thought character witnesses were for penalty phases? Confuzzed.

 

[CarolinaMoon]

This lady is trying so hard not to answer these questions. The fact is, Angela Corey is asking a lot more pointed questions this time around. This is good.

I was so afraid that the prosecution wouldn't do this and just pretty much pass over their testimony with few questions.

IIRC, we never saw any Dunn friends within his own age bracket.

I was always on my best behavior when around my parents' and grandparents' friends. Around my own friends, well, that's a different story.

Judge called for a sidebar without an objection?

Aside from Knox and their own ME, who will testify last, Dunn, and this group are about all the defense has.

Can you tell I'm rabid about this portion of the trial? It will make or break the case, like last time.

In the first trial, they barely challenged these people and Dunn.

 

[seattlechiquita]

The prosecutor just made my case. Question: Sir, do you have any knowledge of the facts of this case? Answer: NO.

The thing is, the prosecution cannot challenge them because they no nada about the case. They are irrelevant to the case and I honestly don't understand why the judge allowed them to testify. I honest to god don't get it.

 

[Steely Dan]

When are they wrapping this up for today?

 

[seattlechiquita]

Here's the ex-wife. She was a good witness, if I recall correctly.

 

[seattlechiquita]

When are they wrapping this up for today?

Right after this witness. She should take about 40 minutes if my recollections of trial #1 are correct.

 

[Leilei]

When are they wrapping this up for today?

Judge said that this witness is the final one for the day.

Originally, in the first trial, the defense had a ton more of these friends, but Judge Healy limited the number.

Wonder if his children will testify for him again?

True. I hop not. They add NOTHING at all, not even in his defense. What can they possibly say about a dude they had not seen for years and that now probably would never want to see again?
