(96,882 posts)Seriously, "we know she did it" isn't a legal argument. And I'll observe that the Plaintiff Attorney in yesterday's hearing didn't claim that she did.
NB: "Perjury" in this case would relate only to the State of Georgia.

This is more that "we just know she's lying". It's not mind reading. It's not guessing. There is only unreasonable doubt, not reasonable doubt, that a human being without obvious, debilitating neurological deficits would or could forget whether or not they discussed, oh, you know, overthrowing the United States government and every other issue in that same broad category.

(16,254 posts)weren't they able to refresh her memory with her own image/words via video? It seemed like they just took her answer 80+ times and didn't argue the point.
It wouldn't have taken many of those videos to show her they already knew the answer. Maybe she would have finally started answering questions correctly...or, not.
She is one cocky woman.
