Potter is a complex witness. She often sounds mechanical and, with the prosecutor, technical. However, she began to breakdown immediately when returned to that day...
...The vital element for the jury is whether she evidenced the type of criminal conduct captured by the statute as opposed to simple negligence.
The more human she appears on the stand, the less culpable she will appear in that jury room. In a curious way, her rigidity in testimony made her breakdown more credible. She is clearly someone who tries to be controlled and precise. It is similar to what we saw in Rittenhouse.
...Again however the prosecutors in this case did not overcharge. That makes this a much more challenging defense case.
