January 29, 2013 THE DEFENCE CASE-IN-CHIEF
Nurmi calls his first witness: GUS SEARCY
PART 3
--Gus says he would see her at the regional event and the national event. Met with him 4-5 times and twice he met with her personally.
--Gus is asked if he had ever seen Jodi dress inappropriately. Jodi was always dressed very conservative, very professional, long sleeves, feminine, turtleneck sweaters.
--Was Jodi ever sexually inappropriate in her conduct? Martinez objects but the objection is sustained. Gus helps people dress for success/prefessional business.
--Gus looks at people's dress when he is mentoring them. He never found Jodi to be overly flirtatious. Gus observed Jodi's behavior to be professional.
--re: personal level meetings. Gus was in Las Vegas at a local business briefing. Gus says that Jodi had called her and was very upset because her and Travis has had a fight.
Martinez objects--hearsay. Counsel are asked to approach the bench.
