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.
On Sept 25th 2011 Williams made a phone call too? upon re-reading that call

When they brought me down to Lucas County Jail, and they had me in that room, they had a search warrant for my DNA. So they swabbed my mouth. So I don't know, so maybe they're waiting to get the tests back. You know what I'm saying?" (emphasis added)
So who is Er ?
