The morning saw two of the State’s witnesses testify, Jane Sudyka and Jeanee Manaloo, both of whom were residents of Twin Lakes at the time of the incident and who appeared to testify as to their observations that night.

Although direct was straightforward with most of the witnesses, Sudyka’s credibility was effectively destroyed by West on cross, and Manaloo suffered a similar fate in cross at the hands of O’Mara.

Anyone familiar with the backstory of Dee-Dee knows there is more than adequate fuel for real fireworks on cross-examination, but West handled her more or less with kid gloves. It is my sense, however, that he is preparing to bore in more aggressively tomorrow when he continues her cross. This seems particularly likely because at the point the Court recessed for the day Jeantel had begun to resist acknowledging prior sworn statements and West was preparing to spool up the audio recordings of those interviews to use in cross.
Despite the frequent difficulties in understand Jeantel’s responses, however, on one point she was abundantly clear–she was NOT happy to be in court. When she learned just before the Court recessed for the day that West anticipated cross-examining her for another two hours tomorrow, she burst out with an incredulous “WHAT!?!?!?” I’m pretty sure even people standing outside the courtroom heard that exclamation.

guess you didn’t watch the Jodi Aries trial)
I cannot believe how many people are openly lying in court.
No matter what, perjury and suborning charges need to brought on these A-holes.
Just so convenient Ms. Manaloo suddenly has revealed new information that she “Wasn’t asked about before”.
Ms. Jenteel wasn’t Tray’s girlfriend? LOL Right.
Guess she was coached least the charges of sex with a minor interfere with the trial.
I don’t believe for a minute she wasn’t getting it on with Tray.
All in all, the credibility of the State’s witnesses are rather poor.
The lawyer speaks to her as though she’s a five-year-old child.
“On that depo paper” ?
Can’t make a silk purse out of this. ;)
In all fairness, she DID take, oh....about THREE YEARS to read lines 18-25.
I read some of her tweets. I can’t fathom the juxtaposition of such inarticulate writing having the ability to write at all.
What is with that cloud window that keeps coming down over the video?
I’m sure there is a purpose but, it’s very distracting.
Jeantel owned West. He was meek as all get out. Maybe he didn’t want to push in fear of making the jury even more sympathetic to her. Or anger the judge, who has already shown she doesn’t like West. But you could tell by Jeantel’s body language and her arrogant attitude toward West that she knew she owned him. West is going to have a very tough time with her tomorrow.
Rachel Jeantel, WTF?
Is she holding her mouth open in hopes someone will drop a side of beef in it?
And the mumbling. What a joke.
She is giving tells of her concealment of something that is important to the trial by, constantly looking to the corners of her eyes.
And blech! She is holding her tongue out to catch flies too?
Geeze, I can’t hardly understand a word she’s saying.
Her temor is purposeful and answers were well coached and rehearsed.
She is acting like an ass for the sole purpose of upsetting the tempo of the trial.
Flippin whack job.
She gonna have plenty of Baby Da-E...
They sure make frequent us of the word N***guh.
Good grief.
Amazing!!!
She can actually her “grass”.
Wonders never cease.
She should get a 8xx number so she can help others gain meaningful relationships with their lawns.
Angela Corey and Bernie The Roach, should also be dis-barred, along with Crump.
Great link. Thanks.
She could have been rehearsed for weeks by the State and it does not matter. She has the IQ of a grapefruit. It is obvious rehearsal time was a waste.
O’ Meara will really slice and dice her tomorrow.
Wow, just keeps looking up and to the corners of her eyes.
Acting all prissy and soft.
I bet that beast, when she is back on her territory, throws he heft around and is pretty aggressive.
I’m not buying her act.
What a manipulator.
I’ll say one thing about her, she ain’t no quittuh.
Being a Senior in High School at the age of 20 is impressive.
Cloud window? Which video — there are like a dozen of them on that page.
Something stinks.
