Cassidy

We didn't know if she might have even been involved.

Cassidy, hi.

If you get an acquittal, it's over.

We didn't know if she might have even been involved.

She and I were walking down the hall. She whispered to me, I'm going to tell you all everything.

Did any police officers arrive before you?

And what did he tell you?

And what was his demeanor?

Did that strike you as odd?

There was no way that in that period of time he was able to move her, dress her, and was doing CPR while he was having this conversation.

But we were able to determine that he was going to these websites and that he had gotten as far as putting Ambien in a cart.

The state calls Vanessa Bowles. I remember looking at Matt more than looking at the jury. I wanted to see his response, and I think he was stunned.

What happened then in early March as you and Matt started to spend Fridays at the Baker home?

At some point, did you and Matt take the girls and go to Kay Jewelers in the mall? We did. He stated that the girls wanted to go look at wedding rings for me. Are you telling the jury that he was prepared at this point a week or two after Carrie's death to trade in Carrie's wedding set to get you a ring that you wanted? Correct.

At what point did he start talking about planning her murder?

One to two weeks before Carrie's death, did he tell you that he had, in fact, tried that?

What did he say happened next?

He didn't even feel enough remorse when he realized that she was still alive to rethink it. He just wanted to finish the job.

So you knew that Friday, April 7th of 2006, was the day that he was going to try it again? I knew he was going to try it then, yes. And you didn't report that to anybody? No.

I'll pass the witness, Your Honor.

I mean, she had done horrible things, but I think it really helped her credibility when she was on the stand because she didn't try to fade her own culpability.

Yes, sir.

I'm going to go with the brain surgeon.

Yeah, why not?

Maya, do you have a favorite lyric of yours?

Do you think the crow had money on it?

Hey, this is Cassidy from Durham, North Carolina.

I'm good. How are you? I'm fine. What do you do there in Durham? I am doing my clinical rotations in my last year of pharmacy school.

I would say making sure that we have patients on the most affordable medications. I would say that's the biggest impact we make. Okay.
