Just watched her testimony. She's Selene Bahadoor.
Yeah, seems clear nobody asked her about the direction of the running before.
I believe she's telling the truth about what she thinks she saw, but she's not completely certain.
Wish the complex had been better lit. Worried that even if she's correct in what she perceived was going down, the jury might write her off because of the "like" to the Trayvon justice page, signing the petition to have Zimmerman prosecuted, and stating that she didn't realize she'd seen anything important at the time. None of which means she's not being truthful, but together I can see the jury possibly finding her questionable.
West mentioned in his opening statement about another witness who says she saw George on top of Trayyon. If that witness is believable and despite the darkness, could be enough for the jury to doubt George's story.
P.s. Even after reading so much about this case for so long, it was really saddening to see photos of Trayvon lying dead, face-first in the grass.
