  1. The teacher said she “knew Sydney would succeed,” but clearly she did not that because Sydney did not succeed.

  2. You have not represented that exchange accurately. You should listen to it carefully and quote it exactly. I listened to it and i believe she answered the question. The prosecutor accepted it.

  3. She is a defense witness. The defense wants to show that violence is out of character for her. They will argue that her assault on her mother was a psychotic break.

  4. It is not relevant to the questions which will be put to the jury.

  5. I don’t see anger and contempt. Cross examination is a little different from direct, so she is perhaps more defensive, that’s all.

  6. You have to look at the law. In Ohio, a person is “not guilty by reason of insanity” relative to a charge of an offense only if the person proves that at the time of the commission of the offense, the person did not know, as a result of a severe mental disease or defect, the wrongfulness of the person’s acts.

  7. The experts who have examined her are not all in agreement. The jury may decide which one is most believeable.

  8. The prosecutor cross-examined this witness in this video.

  9. Exactly.

  10. This witness was testifying to her behavior. The point is to show that she was not violent, so this violent act was out of character.

  11. I don’t get your point.

  12. Many jurisdictions have dropped that, if they ever had it. It isn’t necessary. The oath of office for President of the United States doesn’t have it, but people think it does because it has become traditional to add it.

  13. If you listen to the question carefully, she answered it satisfactorily. The questioner accepted her answer.

  14. I don’t think life without parole is an option.

  15. You don’t know anything about her, certainly not as a teacher.

  16. I don’t think she is charged with having planned the murder.

  17. What they want to show is that violence was not characteristic of her.

  18. Bibles serve no real purpose in taking an oath. The law does not require it. Not everybody attaches special status to a bible.

  19. Bail is normal. To deny bail, a judge needs to find that a defendant is either dangerous or a flight risk.

  20. Not unusual when being cross-examined.
