Do you have a transcript of her testimony in federal court or a deposition?

No, I have her affadvit. Do you have reason to doubt her honesty? If so, why?

An affidavit, as I've pointed out, is different from testimony, which you said it was. Affidavits are worthless in court because they haven't been subject to actual testimony in open court, subject to cross-examination.

I want to see if she has evidence to back up what she says. The affidavit, like a number I've read, seems full of hyperbole. Does she have any evidence to back her affidavit up--for example, copies of the entries she made into Terri's chart, which she said were removed? Does she know who removed them? How was the staff able to reconstruct the chart with her entries removed? Were the charts done on computer or were they paper charts. If do, did, for example, she only chart starting on a blank sheet of paper or did the sheet of paper entered into the chart contain entries from the prior shift personnel? If so, how does she think the nursing home personnel were able to delete her entries and reconstruct the chart? Did she have witnesses to Terri's reactions to her, and if so, who were they? Those are just a few of the questions I'd ask.

None of that is in her affidavit.
