Cherish's mom Rayne testified on Monday.
She told the jury about the sequence of events that day and her fear once she realized the supposed good samaritan had kidnapped her daughter.
Rayne did not have a working cell phone at the time, so she started screaming for help.
About 20 minutes later, 911 was called from the store. The call was played for the jury. Rayne was frantic, couldn't tell the dispatcher what 'Don' was wearing and didn't have a license plate number to provide police.
She told the dispatcher she felt like such a fool for trusting the man and asked 'why would he take my little girl?!" During her testimony she said that she feared she knew why he took her and her worst fear turned out to be true.
After Rayne's tearful testimony, Smith and his Defense Attorney dropped their plan to grill and cross-examine her.
After many years of fighting for custody of her daughters, Cherish's two younger sisters were removed from her care within a month of Cherish's murder. They were adopted by an aunt.
