MidlifeVenture Posted June 22, 2009 Share #3 Posted June 22, 2009 Valerian is a natural herb that can help take away some of the anxiety if that is what you are truly looking for. Remember while your on the stand you have the power of many standing behind you. Good luck:thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wes0778 Posted June 22, 2009 Share #11 Posted June 22, 2009 Yes.....No....I dont know..... and I DONT RECALL....:thumbsup: All valid answers!!! Also, if the defense tries to rattle you by asking another question, before you can answer the first one, take a deep breath and say "Excuse me!!! I can't answer while you are talking!!!" "Please, one question at a time!!!" That will rattle HIM (or her). Also, please do not be tempted to take any notes with you to the witness stand. Prayers are with you!!!

Yama Mama Posted June 23, 2009 Share #15 Posted June 23, 2009 Hey Cindy, I will be thinking of you. You will do a fine job. I have sent you several Valium in the Express Mail. Since I am a RN, I will now be more than likely arrested for sending prescription medication through the mail to you illegally. Do you have the name of a good attorney? I do not mind being arrested for a good cause. Of course, I more than likely will never be able to work again, but I am sure once I get out of prison, I can get some sort of a job. You take care now, and do not worry about me. (Are you laughing?) Seriously, I will pray that all goes well. Yama Mama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowawegian Posted June 23, 2009 Share #16 Posted June 23, 2009 Can't say anything more than what's been said. They are right. Say as little as possible. Short answers. Breathe deep and wait a few seconds to answer. We're all behind you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted June 23, 2009 Share #17 Posted June 23, 2009 Good advice here Cindy. Just don't let them lead you in to anything. Don't worry about Mama maybe they will send her to my place!!!:rotfl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarges46 Posted June 23, 2009 Share #18 Posted June 23, 2009 I've given testimony a couple of times. Each time I was nervous as well...so what you are experiancing is not unusual and probably a good thing really. Like mentioned go slow. All you have is the truth so you wont have to worry about making up stories that get so many crooks caught up. One defense lawyer in a murder trial I had to testify in was on my for about 20 minutes on whether or not someone could have heard some things being said from a cell. It got so monotonese (sp) that I invited to lock him in the cell so that he could tell us whether or not he could hear enough converstation to make up a story! Even the judge had to laugh at that one. Hot shot lawyers are like everyone else....they still gotta put their pants on one leg at a time. You will do fine.

Cinderella Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share #20 Posted June 26, 2009 here i get myself all psyched and ready for this tomorrow and the close to the end games begin........ got a call about 5 that its being cancelled for tomorrow and rescheduled for July 10 th or something...reason: his lawyer just got the message about the motions they filed yesterday.....ha...ha and ha...bull dookey ...and hasnt had time to prepare. on a good note they got the final dna results back and they are a little more tighter now..... he (or one of his family members) has to be the donar........which puts more credence to Haylies accusations...... I didnt realize they had to get courts permission for her to testify since she is under age..thats one of the motions..apparently a child is not considered a liable witness...un believable under the circumstances... like i said the games...they continue til the end.. i must be gettting used to it as i didnt even get flustered about it all today.besides ive got nothing but time and thats all hes gonna have when we're done !!!
