However, her deposition doesn't seem to be a slam dunk.
But she did confirm something important, that Spivey was aggressive and threatened her on the road.
Next, Boyd and William's lawyers shift to a different witness, a man named Frank McMurrow.
McMurrow was driving down Camp Swamp Road toward Highway 9.
He passed Bobby's black truck right as he jumped out of it, and he was next to Boyd's white truck as the gunfire started.
Out of all the witnesses, Frank McMurrow had the closest view to the shooting.
His 911 call is played in court.
In a written statement to police that night, McMurray said that he saw Spivey pointing his gun at Boyd.
But in a recorded deposition played in the courtroom, his story is different.
McMurrow testified that he didn't see Spivey point his gun at Boyd's truck.
What he saw was Spivey's gun at his side, the slide locked back, meaning it wasn't ready to shoot.
Then, McMurrow said, he saw Spivey move his arm.
This account, that Spivey had his gun pointed down, is consistent with what McMurrow said to police on Camp Swamp Road.
The only place it was different was in his written statement.
Though McMurray didn't see who shot first, he also testified that before shots were fired, he saw Boyd with his gun propped up on the dashboard, pointed at Spivey.
This is a bombshell.
Boyd and Williams have said from the beginning that Spivey pointed his gun at them and shot first.
But McMurray's deposition casts serious doubt on that version of events.
Boyden Williams' attorney, Morgan Martin, asked McMurray about that.
In court, Boyd and Williams' lawyers move on to the aftermath of the shooting.
