And he won't even look at her.

Sullivan's other lawyer, Ed Garland, challenges Belinda's memory.

And ridicules her story of the payoff.

But Belinda insists to the end.

She met Jim Sullivan and saw the payoff at the table in the diner.

I know what I saw, and you can't take that from me, no matter what you do.

Defense Counsel Don Samuel.

But her credibility is stellar compared to that of the state's other star witness, Tony Harwood.

He cut a deal and already is serving time for his role in Lita's murder.

First problem, his truth about the payoff differs from Belinda's.

He says he got the cash in the men's room.

He said it was on a moving job in 1986 that Sullivan asked him to take care of Lita.

And how exactly had Sullivan put it?

More than his testimony adds to the impression that Harwood is an odd duck.

Inexplicably, he returns from one break with his hair parted on the opposite side.

But prosecutors have bigger problems with Harwood than just his hair.

They have to acknowledge that he may very well be lying when he says that he just doesn't know who actually shot Lita.

But they want the jury to believe him when he insists Jim Sullivan was behind it all.

Defense lawyers emphasize their contempt for Harwood by not even bothering with cross-examination.

Rolling the dice that the jury will find this star witness simply not believable.
