13. Personally I thought her courtroom demeanor did not harm her testimony.

Her testimony supported Nathan Wade's testimony. And her dad's testimony did the same for her testimony. The reasons for the large cash amounts and paying bills that way are legitimate. Her dad provided situations where his two credit cards were denied along with traveler's checks. Because he was black.

From what I saw and heard during the hearing, The judge should dismiss the challenge.

In all likelihood, if the judge heard Wade, DA Willis, and her dad it would likely trigger a some memories of his encounters in the past that would confirm their testimonies.
