(17,742 posts)(is she?) then maybe the age thing had to do with her being embarrassed about maybe being held back, and telling classmates that she was younger than she is. I've seen that happen with other kids before. The defense tried to make it about her trying to be a minor to avoid testifying, but it probably had more to do with her peers.
And this defense attorney is a jerk, I'd want to slap him if I were on that stand and he was talking to me like he is to her. He's trying to draw it out so that the jurors get frustrated with the witness, when it is his fault and he's doing it on purpose. He's deliberately using vague pronouns to confuse her "he did this, she said that" etc and then when she gets confused, he gets to condescend to her. He's a jerk.
If he would just let her talk and tell her story!
