Day Two

And the saga continues.

As of right now, Burt goes on tomorrow. My sister still can't be in the room and it is killing her. She needs this for closure as much as everyone else. Donnis is going to try to convince the prosecution that they need to call her first and allow her to be in the room for Burt's testimony.

Also, it is amazing how even police officers forget the facts. Although these facts were not important to the case, Officer Wessels of the WPD testified about his response, I think the night they reported the sexual abuse before Donnisha was murdered. Although my family and her family have all suffered trauma and could have skewed memories of the events, no one remembers that night the same way he does. It was a completely different recollection of events. Another reason why it was helpful for the defense to put this case off for 2 years. People forget the little details that are needed in a case like this even the people we would expect to remember these thing.
