Paula Deen is being ripped to shreds for her saying the n word. Shouldn't it be acceptable since she was brought up in the south and it's part of her culture? This is making me fume, when will it stop.

Witness: Raymond MacDonald


2:47 p.m.
O’Mara asks about the records.

MacDonald says he can only look to what the records say.

O’Mara asks why they show minutes and seconds.

MacDonald says that’s the way the application shows it.

MacDonald says if he sees a call coming in ahead of an 805 number, he can determine the call was sent to voicemail.

O’Mara asks if the time shows the length of the voicemail.

MacDonald says yes.

O’Mara finishes questioning.

Mantei re-directs.

MacDonald says the second set of records is only maintained for six months.

MacDonald is excused.

2:42 p.m.
Mantei asks what the records indicate to MacDonald.

He says at 7:16 p.m. and 24 seconds there is an incoming call and under that it appears to say outgoing to another number.

He says the 805 number is a voicemail platform.

He says a call that goes to voicemail looks like an outgoing call on the records.

On the page, every call after goes to voicemail.

Mantei finishes questioning.

O’Mara rises to cross-examine.

2:40 p.m.
Mantei asks how they measure a phone call to the seconds.

MacDonald says the records, the type of billing format, doesn’t show the seconds.

Mantei points out two calls on the record. He asks what a 1 means in the “minutes” column.

He says as long as there is a connection, it will show a minute.

Mantei shows another document and goes over what columns mean.

One column shows the calling number. Another, the last, shows the time of the call in minutes. He says the seconds are rounded up.

Mantei asks about a highlighted call from 7:12:06 p.m. on Feb. 26, 2012.

Mantei asks about the first call on the sheet and the connection time. The duration is for 17 minutes.

Rumpole, just want to let you know I appreciate all the photos - they really help to keep things straight; in context.

Leading question much?

BDLR: "would you describe the tone [of voices] as more 'flustered' than 'confrntational'"?

Also: W11 says both voices were about the same tone, which contradicts W1 saying one voice was strong and one was meek.

Yelping,..does anyone think it's odd the use of this word by two separate witnesses? Maybe it's me, but I don't think it's a common description. Did she say yelps to 911?

OK she did say yelp on 911

Bernie asks confusing questions and the same questions in different ways. He leads the witnesses.

3:05 p.m.
She describes it as “scuffling.”

Lauer says it’s not the first time she heard noises back there as people walk their dogs all the time, but says not in the rain.

She says the noises were immediate after she muted the TV.

“After the scuffling it gradually went into like a grunting noise,” she says.

She says it sounded like people standing because she could hear sneakers on the pavement, but then she thought the rolling sounds were getting closer to her screen.

She says she never say anything outside.

De la Rionda asks her what else she heard.

She says it turned into “grunting” and eventually “yelping.”

De la Rionda asks about the decision to call 911.

She says they [she and her husband] decided to call 911 as soon as they heard the scuffling noises.

Lauer says she and her husband tried to re-enact it a while later.

2:59 p.m.
Lauer says her view of the backyard is not obstructed, but at night she cannot see past the blinds.

She says the sliding glass door was open and describes the day’s rain as “steady” and “relaxing.”

She says she heard voices outside and could tell they were from the backyard.

Lauer could not make out any words.

She says she could tell they were coming from the left of where she was sitting.

She says people walk their dogs in the area a lot.

She describes it as “loud talking.”

Lauer says she calls it a “three-part exchange.” “One person said something, then another and another,” she says.

She says they sounded about the same in volume.

Lauer said she muted the TV as soon as she heard the voices.

Immediately after, she says, she heard them scuffling, “sneaker on pavement” and grass.

2:54 p.m.
De la Rionda goes over the house layout with Lauer.

She says her screened in porch had bamboo blinds installed.

She says they were down with about a 1-foot gap the night of the shooting.

Lauer says she lived at that residence for about 3 years. She says she was home with her husband the night of the shooting, watching TV in the living room.

She describes the living room and says the loveseat faces the sliding glass door.

Bat-quana crazy woman was clearly making stuff up, exaggerating, and probably lied about her name. Did you see the post where someone claims that the Olympic event she claimed to qualify for wasn't added until 1984, but she said she couldn't compete because of 1980 boycott? lol

3:14 p.m.
She says she did hear her next-door neighbor, identified as John Good, open his door.

Lauer says she knows his voice and heard him.

“He said something along the lines of ‘what the hell are doing?’” says Lauer.

De la Rionda plays the 911 call.

3:11 p.m.
She says her husband tried to call 911 first, but his phone locked up, so she called. She describes hearing “yelps.”

De la Rionda asks where she was when she called.

She says she got up of the couch and went to the stairs.

Lauer says she went to the stairs so whoever was outside wouldn’t hear her “snitching” on them.

She says her husband went into the kitchen and might’ve been getting something, like a knife, to go around the front to go see.

She says she heard a gunshot.

She says she went into the kitchen to stop her husband from getting involved and that’s when she heard the gunshot.

She says the phone was to her ear.

De la Rionda asks her if she put the phone out so the 911 operator could hear.

She says the whole time the phone was to her ear.

Lauer says the "yelps turned to helps."

"It just sounded like the same voice the whole time," she says.

She says the noises stopped after the gunshot.

When she heard the gunshot, she says she and her husband ducked down to the floor in the kitchen and then moves upstairs to get away from the door.
