Dra-ma!

All right, let me give you some background. Right before lunch, attorneys and Judge Cayer discussed what they should do after the break. Bellas wanted to bring LeClair back so jurors could have a chance to hear cross examination (the defense asking its questions). However, Dubs said she would rather finish the information/testimony concerning the cadaver dogs. Bellas, however, mentioned that LeCalair would be out of the country beginning tomorrow. This was news to Dubs. She seemed appalled she was not informed that information earlier. She argued several of her witnesses for the cadaver dogs hearing flew to get here or drove seven hours. The judge ruled that since the jurors were coming back at 2, LeClair would take the stand for cross-examination.
At 2, LeClair was running about 15 minutes behind. She apologized for her lateness - she was coming from Catawba County. However, when she took the stand Dubs said she had no questions for her. Boy did that get a lot of AHHHS and lots of looks and smiles from the crowd.
After excusing LeClair and the jury, with instructions to return at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow, Cayer said he would have liked to have had that information before LeClair drove here. Dubs apologized saying the decision to not question LeClair came during lunch.

Since, McNeil remains on the stand. I'll do a recap of the tough, tough questioning Campbell is lying on him after the day recesses... .Gotta get back.
