Yes, thanks for your responses. I'm trying to make heads from tails of the proposed jury instructions that was discussed today.

Apparently, there was a witness who was scheduled to testify that wasn't called after all according to this:

2.23 CAN BE WITHDRAWN SINCE WE HAVE NO WITNESSES WITH FELONY CONVICTIONS.

I saw that, but I don't know who they're talking about. The other day they did expect to deal with that (the prosecution had rested) and then nothing happened. At first I thought it was a witness that had testified, but after reading again I decided it was a witness for the defense. Maybe a 'hostile' witness. Maybe Barb?? The defense said one or two more witnesses and tried to make it sound like the expert witness was the problem. However, they did say that they were unable to contact this person and didn't know where they were. Maybe the Pros didn't call Barb because of a felony conviction, but the defense decided to go for it and Barb skipped out. There was supposed to be some dicussion about summons today, but I missed it. Maybe that part will tell us something.
