Ronald's ex gf was very accommodating to the prosecution.

Yes, she was/is. She seemed a bit nervous at first -- frequent soft laffs -- but now seems a bit less so. She seems a bit "young," too.

I think she is telling the truth and is not trying to put blame on anyone. IMO, she has no reason to lie -- her cheating boyfriend is in jail for life, so she cannot really help him. She doesn't seem to like or dislike T. Smith, so I see no motive for her to withhold the truth or to lie.

We'll see how the cross goes...

#TravionSmithTrial - Defense gets in that Travion said his brain wasn't 'right".

We're hearing a few "sustained" comments on the prosecution's objections on the cross of Amber Alberts...

Morning recess. Jurors told to go to lunch now and return at 1:30 PM. #TravionSmithTrial http://abc11.tv/1giDDkx

Ed Crump ‏@EdCrumpABC11 1m1 minute ago
That will allow time for Redden to take the stand for testimony outside presence of jury.#TravionSmithTrial
