It's the first time someone has testified to seeing something there in the trial. The defense attorney said it was the first time any law enforcement spoken to her. She agreed with defense counsel that Mass State Police didn't interview her until months later. This witness never testified at a grand jury or at a hearing. She explained that the detail about the size of the object seemed new because LE or attorneys hadn't asked her to describe it before today.I think the new bit is that the dark blob was 5-6 feet in length. Also, the first time she told anyone about the blob was eight months after JO's death.
I don't recall the witness testifying that she never told anyone she saw something after that night. She wasn't asked that, AFAIK. She said she saw something at the time to the people in the car. Her friend testified JN said something that caused her to turn and look out the window, but they were several houses away when she looked. Late at night, in an unlit area, in poor visibility conditions, shadows can play tricks. She had been drinking. There was no reason for her to think this was something that needed attention. But I imagine that since that night, she's had to deal with knowing she saw something but she didn't react and someone's life might have been saved if she recognized what it was.
