In Texas, it's the way we wave to bad drivers on the road. No big deal.

I mentioned months ago how hard she was to understand, so I appreciate the background you've given.

I agree with you about West. He is taking so long to get to the important parts of her testimony, nobody will care. Screw the memorial service, March 17th or 18th, don't indict crump today. Between her answers, his rephrasing the answers, her again, etc... Now he's debating her on when they interviewed her, and so far she's winning

She's winning because he's trying to be logical with a scatter brain. That plan won't work.

Is there somewhere to get the Cliff Notes version of this interview? I've lost track just what she was testifying about.

Now she's saying Trayvon had a different girlfriend. That she wasn't one, but that he had one.
I have never thought of her as Trayvon's GF, just a friend that is a girl.

This is not an area where West is any good. He's out of his comfort zone, and is doing harm. She's actually controlling him, which is weird. He should not have let her do this, because she could smash him at any point.

I believe this is actually a technique employed by defense attorneys. At first, a witness is alert and really keeping careful about what they say. The longer they are on the stand, the more careless they get. They might slip in something asking about earlier testimony, hoping to get a contradiction as well. It's pretty standard of a technique actually.

She's not winning anything. She admitted to being a liar. That damages her credibility beyond repair. She also stated that she has no idea how the fight began and also said she thought it wasn't that serious. NEXT WITNESS!

No she can't. He's letting her hang herself, it's called feeding her the rope. She's doing a great job of it too.
