#AaronHernandez prosecution is struggling mightily w this witness to whom they gave immunity; she repeatedly says she doesn't remember...

Brian Fraga ‏@BfragaHN · 3m3 minutes ago

McCualey once again tries to "refresh" Mercado's memory. She is currently reviewing documents. Will it help? #AaronHernandez -RK

Brian Fraga ‏@BfragaHN · 2m2 minutes ago

Prosecutor: "Is there something that interferes w/ your memory? Witness says yes. "I have PTSD....and depression..." #AaronHernandez

Bob McGovern ‏@BobMcGovernJr · 2m2 minutes ago  Boston, MA
Mercado says she has PTSD and depression and takes medication that hinders her memory. #AaronHernandez

Wild About Trial ‏@WildAboutTrial · 2m2 minutes ago
Mercado says her memory may be affected by medication for major depression, on medication, PTSD, and anxiety disorders. #AaronHernandez -RK


If I'm on the jury, I think she is full of it. :maddening: They should not have given her immunity.

Brian Fraga ‏@BfragaHN · 1m1 minute ago
Basically Mercado saying her GJ testimony based on docs, not her own memory. McCauley says that wasn't evident in 2013 #AaronHernandez

Adam Bagni ‏@NBC10_Adam · 1m1 minute ago
Records show witness got a text, she called back the number, but doesn't remember who she called or content of text. #AaronHernandez

The Gold Patrol™ ‏@thegoldpatrol · 2m2 minutes ago
After reading prior testimony, Mercado remembers calling person who sent text back but doesn’t remember who she talked to #AaronHernandez

Bob McGovern ‏@BobMcGovernJr · 2m2 minutes ago  Boston, MA
Mercado does not remember receiving a different number for #AaronHernandez. The last witness acknowledged he was given a new number.

 

[Softail]

The Gold Patrol™ ‏@thegoldpatrol · 2m2 minutes ago
Mercado says she didn’t lie to Grand Jury. Remembers text sent to him on on Father’s Day and don’t remember if he responded #AaronHernandez

Adam Bagni ‏@NBC10_Adam · 2m2 minutes ago
Do call this witness difficult would be an understatement. McCauley clearly frustrated w/ her lack of memory. #AaronHernandez

Byron Barnett ‏@Byron_Barnett · 1m1 minute ago
This is interesting. Pros seems to be trying to get Mercardo to admit she talked to #AaronHernandez. But she was she can't remember #7News

Trial Queen Sharee ‏@TrialQnSharee · 2m2 minutes ago

Not sure I'd have enough time! In last 15 mins alone, she said she can't remember at least a dozen times. #AaronHernandez @JimWontell

Brian Fraga ‏@BfragaHN · 2m2 minutes ago
McCauley asking Mercado if Tanya told her what she was gonna do at the grand jury in 2013 #AaronHernandez

Bob McGovern ‏@BobMcGovernJr · 3m3 minutes ago  Boston, MA
Tanya Singleton to Mercado that she was going to "plead the Fifth." #AaronHernandez

Adam Bagni ‏@NBC10_Adam · 5m5 minutes ago
Witness says #AaronHernandez said Singleton "shouldn't be in there." But "can't remember" other conversations w/ him, her sister.

Adam Bagni ‏@NBC10_Adam · 4m4 minutes ago
I'll say this: McCauley has kept his composure this entire time w/ this witness. Certainly a different approach than Sultan. #AaronHernandez

Wild About Trial ‏@WildAboutTrial · 4m4 minutes ago
Mercado says AH told her Tanya shouldn't be in jail because "She didn't know anything." #AaronHernandez -RK

Adam Bagni ‏@NBC10_Adam · 4m4 minutes ago
