Thank goodness Lavit isn't doing the cross.

 

[SuziQ]

Defense cross. Atty Greene

Here we go again with the "white girl" comments. But it wasn't about race, huh?

Sorry for the rant, but if this had been 4-5 white people who did this to 2 black people, I wonder if it would've been about race????

Now you know why this case isn't on every TV station in the nation. If it was black victims, it would have caused a march in Washington DC and riots in the street with every media truck parked at the courthouse. National media is avoiding this case like the plague.

 

[Muffet]

Defense cross. Other atty doing the questioning.

 

[Muffet]

Going over who was there when they were going to place to do interview. Witness, Hernedon (atf) and VC. Doesn't remember/think her father was there.

Def: "so this was a joint investigation/interview" "yes"

Childress admits didn't tell Coleman b/4 last interview she had been indicted and would be arrested

Coleman - Cobbins told her he loved her and wanted her know that "if anything happens to me"

 

[SuziQ]

Greene got in that other men charged and convicted in this case.

 

[SuziQ]

Attorneys at bench

 

[Muffet]

Confirms with witness again, that she tried to leave on Sunday night, but Rome stopped her. Says she was brought back to house.

Asks if he talked with the other men who were charged in the case. Yes. He interviewed Cobbins.

Asks about talking with other investigators - he says, "somewhat."

Someone called for a bench meeting...

 

[Muffet]

Def trying to get witness to say he's not aware of any other defendants implicating VC in their interviews.

Another call to bench. (this witness only was there for LC interview)

I thought that too at first then I watched all the white girls testify. They were friends with the white girls.

Lavit should've handled cross of Childress, judge already had 2 bench conf over Greene ?s

 

[Muffet]

Back from bench. Def withdraws the question.

 

[Muffet]

Def confirms that witness found no prior records on VC in the database. Very HUGE database, def notes.

 

[Muffet]

Def talking about state and feds working together... witness yes, but iffy...

Now def: LD was a volatile man. Witness says VC told him LD was controlling.

VC told him G wiped blood off his shoes. Did she tell you why? No. Did you ask? No.

 

[Muffet]

VC was told she didnt need to know what was going on.

"yes, she said that at end of interview"

def: so she was kept in dark...

witness: she said...

def "she also told you she was scared to death"

They're going too fast for me now...

 

[SuziQ]

My internet went down. Did the defense throw out the Daphne comparison?

 

[Muffet]

I missed what they were talking about that Price objected to. :sheesh:


OK, she admitted that she knew when the police were at the rr tracks, and helped(?) LD.. yet she wasn't indicted.

Now they're ahead of me again...

I thought that too at first then I watched all the white girls testify. They were friends with the white girls.

That's true, although I don't really think they were "friends" with them as much as they were using them for rides and selling them drugs.

Defense Greene trying draw parallels between Coleman and Sutton. Childress deflects w/ Sutton didn't c killing
