hears wet grass sounds

[nomatter_nevermind]

She heard a bump and assumed it was the headset. She started hearing wet grass sounds.

'Get off. Get off.' She kinda heard that.

[redstripe]

Didn't believe he was dead, assumed he was just in a physical confrontation in the dark with a complete stranger and elected not to call her back.

[IgnatiusJDonnelly]

I think he was probably just being generally derogatory.

Ethnic slurs are generally derogatory.

[nomatter_nevermind]

She thought it was a fight. She thought he was by the house, and someone would come and help him. She thought his daddy was there.

Ethnic slurs are generally derogatory.

I was talking more about the 'seems like a rapist' comment

[nomatter_nevermind]

Her friend went to wake, told her they got the man.

[nomatter_nevermind]

Bernie asking her about lying. He asked why she really didn't go to the wake.

She felt guilty about people finding out she was last person to talk to TM.

ETA: Now she has told three stories about this.

15 minute recess, 2:58 PM

ETA 2: Jury gone, Nelson calls pre-recess sidebar.

Did she also not go to the funeral?  Or was it not asked?

[nomatter_nevermind]

Did she also not go to the funeral?  Or was it not asked?

Still not asked.

[nomatter_nevermind]

Recess for real, 3:00 PM.

[nomatter_nevermind]

I was expecting this to be the longest version of her story, but it's shorter than the one she told Bernie. No 'couple of minutes'.

OT but I love how every time Nelson is nasty to West he responds with "thank you, your honor".

At least he doesn't say 'May I have another?'

[IgnatiusJDonnelly]

Very rehearsed
