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.

“Whether from alcohol, legal or illegal drugs, or perhaps some medical condition, she definitely appeared to be impaired.”............
You have it correct, indeed she is “impaired”. She has the mental capacity of a snail.
I wrote it to be funny.:)She is the worse witness in all of my trial watchings.She ‘s gonna be really mad today.
In all seriousness, I wonder if that is a goiter or Grave’s disease or what. She’s need to weigh eight hundred pounds for that to be “just” that much fat.
Good one. “rap concert violence”, “sneaker shooting”, “black friday stampede” and “chuck e cheese arrest” are always frightfully amusing google searches on a rainy day.
She’ll show up.She just wants this over with.
Sorry I missed that.
I am going to blame my BP meds.
;<)
Seriously, this girl just looks flat out drunk. It seems she can’t even keep her eyes open.
:) ((((Hugs)))))
You’re right. The prosecution had no legitimate excuse for calling this person to the stand. It shows how desperate they are for a murderer conviction.
Putting her on the stand after knowing that she lied in previous statements is a violation of the professional code of conduct and may even be a crime.
That was not a legitimate objection. The judge sustained it anyway.
