I am doing book work for my husbands business today, so that means he is the boss for the day, which really means I am the boss

Yes, me too - and the 'boss' side of me is saying 'get back to work'... but I'm not listening...

Mike Knoll: Rafferty will not be taking the stand. Only one witness will be called by the defence and it's not Rafferty

RaffertyLFP: Micharl Rafferty will not testify

The defense has called a woman who has grandchildren attending Oliver Stephens Public School.

She picks them up and drops them off at school. Some days, her daughter would join her.

She drove a green sedan in 2009.

They probably believe the statement, when a suspect takes the stand it can appear that they are guilty.
