Absolutely the worst witness I've ever seen. If she said the sky was blue, I'd check first before believing it.

As I was mulling over her time on the stand, slight bow to TAM regarding whether or not she was testifying or not, and there was a short time I saw replayed on the news where the defense asked a question and as she began to mumble her answer he appeared distracted. She asked him if he was paying attention or something like that. It was clear she was irritated with him. He apologized both times and even said he became distracted.

I wonder if that whole thing was planned to get her irritated and say something she doesn't want to say similar to how Tom Cruise's character did in A Few Good Men with Jack Nicholson.

She also castigated him because he was unable to complete her deposition the following day due to a scheduling conflict. He had to opologise for her inconvenience for that, too. No doubt the deposition took FAR longer than expected because nobody could figure out what she was saying.

Well unless my math skills are no better than hers, that is not all that far behind. 12th grade is 13 years if schooling (don't forget kindergarten). 13 + 5 is 18.

By the way, did you notice how quick she was at dates and days of the week? She knew what day of the week and date each of her meetings were. Can you say 'savant'?

After starting out with no opinion if guilt or innocence, so far I'm leaning heavily towards innocence. But man, its crazy to see how differently other people see it. the people at HLN are ready to get the rope...

You have to keep in mind that 50% of the world's population have below-average IQs.

She also got irritated when West didn't ask her the next question quickly enough. "Ok ... Go On ... GO ON! ". And he just smiled at her. THAT was done to torque her. :thumbs2:

She said she reestablished a friendship with Trayvon "in 2006" when they "started high school". So she's been in high school for 7 years? Yikes! She's 19 now, so she would have been 12 in 2006. That ain't high school. That's junior high (or intermediate depending upon the state.)

Has anybody else noticed how much West looks like Walter White from Breaking Bad?

Not so much. She insisted that March 19th was a Monday. It was not. It was a Tuesday. None of the dates she gave matched the actual day of the week. (I'm listening to her testimony now.)

What year?
March 19th 2012 was a Monday -- but I suspect that is before the current legal team was involved.

She seemed so certain...
