I'm just curious. Also, I'm wondering if there is any kind of remorse that a person Bates' position would feel after hearing that a jury convicted the other man and that he is responsible for letting one go...correct call or not...
i was splitting time between both trials so i wasn't there for the rulings. here is what i understand to have happened: yingling testimony not allowed because it's from his conversation with williams ABOUT pettaway, not with pettaway himself. hearsay. same with the phone call between williams and steve pettaway implicating cameo. may have been more that i'm not aware of. they also had a snitch in the pettaway trial but his story completely changed on the stand. obviously someone got to him.
