Jayne Surdyka (W-18), 6/26/13

[Cylinder]

The first officer she talked to was a female officer named Serena.

She thinks she talked to a female officer named 'Serena', definitely not Serino.

She says she only went on national TV once.

She thinks she talked to a female officer named 'Serena', definitely not Serino.

But that contact was just to arrange Serino or investigator visit.  There is no record of W18 giving any incident  information to Serena.

West brings up the Ashely Banfield interviews.

Bernardo objects when West suggests the case can be decided using "common sense."  "Argumentative"

Re-direct by Bernardo.

Bernie's redirect was just to establish that the rain slacked off and didn't block her view.

Surdyka excused

10:40 AM, 15 minute recess.

Factual inaccuracies aside, the problem with her testimony is that if the first voice was the aggressive one and W8 is believed then that voice was Martin's.

Somebody at CTH posted this link.  Quite revealing.

Something I didn't get down at the time, is that West got Surdyka to admit that one of the reasons she went on CNN was that she thought TM was the victim, or something like that. I forget the exact words West used.

For Sean Noffke fans, in the discovery there is a record of a call that he took during this time. It is labeled NEN ('Call Source: TEL'), but it seems likely that it's the 911 call made by Sierra McLendon.

Whatever that call is, it is the one Noffke took. Sean Noffke did not take any of the other 911 calls related to this case on 2/26/12.

[nomatter_nevermind]

Did she estimate how long the verbal exchange lasted?

If she did I missed it.

[nomatter_nevermind]

Surdyka's 911 call was taken by an L. Miller (21/33).

Why did the State even call this witness? 

[unitron]

Why did the State even call this witness?

After her very long 911 call, they may have felt stuck with her.

Or maybe they wanted an excuse for the jury to hear her palpable distress that night that a shooting death had occurred.

[TalkLeft]

She says she only went on national TV once.

she went on Anderson Cooper in March and Ashly Banfield on April 6. Different shows and interviews. Her voioce was disguised as a male on Banfied, but her lawyer was with her. I have the transcripts.
