>> I’m still not certain on how TM’s parents are in the courtroom if they’re going to be witnesses in the case???
My guess (and it is just a guess):
There may be some sort of “victim rights” law in FL that says the family of the “victim” MUST BE allowed to witness the trial.
That makes for an unavoidable legal conflict with the doctrine that a witness can’t view the trial. So something has to give...
The parents are the sympathy card.
