I expected more emphasis on the imporance of that question tbh, when I heard her admitting to it so easily. Maybe that's from watching too many TV shows. | ||

Sure she is completely damning herself and the prosecutions case. but.. A) no one can understands what she's saying B) she doesn't seem to understand the majority of questions being asked. | ||

Not in defense's interest to bring attention to it while this witness can change her testimony. They got exactly what they wanted, and it will be used later. | ||

Also, where does the prosecution go from here? Is the charade over yet? | ||

Is the charade over yet? Can she be? Yes. Will she be charged with perjury? Probably not. EDIT: this answer only applies if she lied under oath. I'm not sure if that's what's being talked about because I'm having a difficult time following the witness. | ||

The Defense is definitely setting up what it will be arguing at close: personal animus -- and possible racism (West said he was going to revisit this) -- are motivating her. | ||

I don't think the judge is fed up, I think there was just a misunderstanding and the judge got agitated over what appeared to be a ridiculous move by the attorney "you can't object your own question" | ||
