I think it would have been hard to recognized someone you've just seen around if that person was wearing a mask covering half of his face, especially when surprised in the night by a person who doesn't live in your house.You don't have to know someone's name to have recognized them as someone you've seen around. I guess that's what I was getting at in my post. I just didn't say it very well. lol
And regarding whetherDM's testimony would be useful for prosecution, the prosecutor don't need to overpromise in this instance. He/she can frame this testimony to established that:
1. a masked stranger was in the house at thee time of the murder;
2. that DM's description of the masked stranger is consistent with BK's appearance. Think about this; if the masked stranger had been 6'5, 300 pounds, that helps the defense. That her eyewitness description matches BK's appearance doesn't prove it was him--but it doesn't need to when taken with other evidence of BK's location, e.g., the car.
