They only attacking one in reference to mr. Wade. And then she goes on to say, god, is it them playing the racecar where they only question one . No, if she had been truthful with the congregation, truthful with the community she would have said i had a relationship with him. Good, bad, forgive me, whatever. That is what she should have said. But she chose to deflect and say them, the reference to them and the others and they. It is obviously a reference to the motion filed by Miss Merchant. They choose to go after the black man and she then goes on. Again, deflecting away. And deflecting to the what i call the third rail, the american society.

Im trying to get to where i can share my screen. We need to add you as a host then. In which defense counsel claimed the evidence would show. I would strongly bring to the courts attention that the claims that were made were material misrepresentations. What i will say to the court, and why i say that to the court, is because the representations that were made by counsel was that all of these people would be called and mr. Bradley would be able to impeach their knowledge by singing that he specifically, in his presence or to him, said that ms. Willis and mr. Wade were in a romantic relationship and that ms. Willis and mr. Wade
