yesterday. the Witnesses for the prosecution were called. 2 of the caretakers claimed that "cowgirlgrandma" never struck them or fought them but then admitted that she hated having her diapers put on hated showers hated being told what to do... they were asked if she could walk or get out of bed on their own...the reply was to the question: no but actually they recalled walking with her outside for 30 minutes at a time this was by holding her hand or with their arms around When the head care taker came on the witness stand and told of grandma striking her, punching at her so hard that grandma fell on the caretaker and they went down together. Grandma broke the cartakers glasses, gave her numerous bruises and sometimes when she was angry would get out of bed and wander around and pull things out of drawers the when the head caretaker said yes, she can walk on her own but we assist her so she will not fall and hurt herself.head caretaker said that at one point cowgirlgrandma fell and broke 3 ribs. this was supposed to be the state's evidence that caregiverQ (daughter of cowgirlgrandma)was guilty of elderabuse! the Wrangler was furious! he thought that he had someone who would prove his case. then the next witness was called: the bookkeeper. She told of how she was the bookkeeper for cowgirlgrandma and the rest of the fam. This proved to completely undo the case! She related that she was friends with caregiverQ and that on the morning of the incident she had brought coffee to caregiverQ just because they were friends.Wrangler was visibly angry!
the jury has been sent away while some evidence has to be discussed: should it be allowed or not. Wrangler hopes to have the evidence given because he obviously feels that it will sway the jury to his side. Back and forth the two lawyers trying to make their case.
news flash: the judge just yelled at the DA (wrangler) to sit down! we all jumped
one of the officers who interviewed cargiverQ is on the stand. he just told a whopper of a lie! i mean he told a lie to caregiverQ! that is in the interview from the evidence Caught! Columbo notices it but decided that it was not the trial on the police officer. he lets it go. finally there is a decision to keep the tape out of the trial. whew!
news flash, Wrangler shouted at Columbo-Get away from me i am trying to get some water--Columbo was just saying to him, Judge wants to see us in Chamber right away! Wrangler did this in front of a lone Juror...later that will be reported to the whole jury because you know they will!
Jury back in the courtroom and Columbo crossexamines the bookkeeper to his satisfaction, showing that she in fact cannot help the Wrangler's case!
we are adjourned to Wed. where the professionals will be consulted: the Doctors.
