There are many, many followups Mitchell didn’t ask. Things like, “how did she make the call to get a ride home after she left the house”? There were no cell phones back then. Things about how the polygraph guy was selected. How she found out about the party, how far it was from the pool, who told her about the party, who she was with at the pool, etc. The only reason to cut her some slack on that is if they have other things to get to and don’t have time to get all the details, and they have decided they don’t need it because they have some good stuff. If so, I will allow her some slack.
Never ask a question unless you already know: (1) the correct answer, or (2) an answer the witness already gave that you know is verifiably false.
I mean, really ... what's the purpose of asking this dingbat how she found out about a party that took place 36 years ago? LOL.
