About how I felt.

Yep.

So the testimony got heated the next day when Roy Gustafson cross-examined Elizabeth.

At one point, he said he was going over answers to questions that she'd been asked the previous day in relation to her son, Frankie.

Frank leapt to his feet and shouted, just a minute, Mr. Gustafson.

My name is Frank, not Frankie.

I'm a big boy, sir.

He's like, only mommy gets to call me Frankie, Mr. Ew, I hate it.

Poo to you.

In response, Gustafsson was like, hey, can you eject him from the courtroom?

Can you get that pooswa the fuck out of this courtroom?

But the judge would not.

Going forward, though, whenever Gustafsson referred to Frank as anything other than Frank, Elizabeth sharply corrected him and said, Frank is an attorney and an officer of the same court as you are, Mr. Gustafsson.

I think you should have some respect for him.

So, as anyone could have predicted, Elizabeth proved to be a pretty difficult witness under cross-examination.

She would refuse to answer questions, and she would only answer them after the judge was like, hey, you have to fucking answer that.

At one point, when the prosecutor was like, there was no blackmail, you were just supposed to make payments for the murder that you hired somebody for, she said, I did not!

I did not!

I did not!

I did not do that!
