Judge Mudd Says Sequestering Of Jury Possible: Van Dam case has jurors facing more Mad-Dawgging!!

Union Trib ^ | July 30, 3002 | Alex Roth

[Karson]

Yeah, I really do. Don't you?

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

Hmmmmm

[hoosiermama]

That's why I asked why? Nothing she testified to seems to be that important or am I missing something?????

[gigi]

I don't think it was her because she had a receipt from dinner establishing time and others testified that BVD danced with DW. Maybe it's wishful thinking on the forum.

[John Jamieson]

Who are talking about?

[gigi]

Oh! I haven't heard that before. It wouldn't surprise me.

[hoosiermama]

Those two items are the most important and they have been collaborated.

[Karson]

Patricia LePage testified that BvD and DW did "dirty dancing" that night. She also testified that she had not taken any pain medication before going to court that morning.


River, from RR show, testified she saw Ms LePage in the ladies room during break talking about needing to take more medicine.

[Karson]

Do you have any guesses that you could share with us, as to who it is?

[hoosiermama]

But the pain medicine has no relavance to this case? SHe could have said oops I forgot my undies, as she pulled them up, and it wouldn't matter to this case!

[clearvision]

Are you implying that there might be testimony (like about levelors, curtains, and best highways to use) that is not important to this case? Why would one waste time with testimony that was not important? :)

[mommya]

Sorry south - I'm outta the loop too - just read it in the above posted transcript.

[hoosiermama]

WHy would one call a third bug guy who ends up agreeing with the first in corss exam? That's a waste of time and the tax payers money.

[Karson]

Apparently the prosecution thought it important to impeach Ms LePage's testimony since they put River whateverherlastnameis on the stand just for the sole purpose of asking her about an alleged conversation she had with her in the ladies room during break.

Wow, what a run on sentence!

[hoosiermama]

But was her testimony actually impeached? Or just left open to interpretation on the drug use. The two main areas were collaborated by other witnesses.

Wasn't Brenda's testimony impeached?

[mommya]

"I think the judge was saying that he was ready to strike the testimony of a proven lier, but which one? "

I think the proven liar is Damon - he was the one who admitted he lied to the police early on - or does it have to be a lie committed in the court(room). Frazee then, maybe - didn't he admit that his prelim. testimony was different? I'm so confused. Patricia LePage maybe - if they believe River.

[Karson]

Actually I don't believe she was impeached because River admitted she never SAW Ms. LePage take any medicine. Just that she said she needed to take some more.

But it could have been Tylenol or Bayer Aspirin, if anything at all. Doesn't mean she took the prescription pain medication that she sometimes has to take.

[hoosiermama]

La Page's medicine use is NOT relavant to this case. I see no reason since what she said could have been interpreted numerous ways for her testamony to be impeached.

Remember the day the Bren got all hussy? Three witness testified that she HAD danced with DW. That impeached her testimony that she had not. I fully suspect since she also changed that story several times It is the Bren.

[John Jamieson]

I was saying that it was probably NOT a trivial lie.

[hoosiermama]

Agree, but also wonder if it weren't several lies???? Not just one?
