What was Becky's response, given that his sister testified that he'd beaten angie? I'm guessing it didn't go over well with Becky, considering what she's been through in her own life. I don't know, but having a relative testify against you in these circumstances kinda comes across as a lot more than circumstantial evidence.

I just testified today at this guys hearing in Lancaster. An ex of mine testified against Davido with things Davido had supposedly said to him while in the mental unit in prison. I don't remember the original case, and was surprised to find out that my ex had been involved with the case in any sort of way, being as he's a flippin nut himself. Myself and my mother were asked to testify to discredit my ex as a reliable witness or whatever he was for them. We were never contacted during the original trial for anything, and I may not know much about legal issues, but I would think it would have made the most sense for the defense to find us back then, since they knew about us because we were part of the reason my ex was in prison. As well for the prosecution to get in contact with us to make sure their witness was sound. Maybe I am wrong, but to me that would have made the most sense. One of the main questions the defense attorney asked us was if we would have been willing to testify in the original case against my ex's creditablity and if we were available at the time to do so. Which we both were and would have been more than willing to tell how much of a nut job my ex is. If it doesn't benefit him in any way he doesn't do it. We always questioned back then how it was my ex got out of prison so much earlier than they were telling us he would get out, guess we now know. Makes you wonder how much effort was given by all sides of this case to get things done properly if something so small yet so big could slip through the cracks. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how things go.

To comment on that letter, in all honesty after seeing both Davido and his lawyer, as well as watching the lawyer stumble through my questioning, it is very possible that is from Davido himself. To many big words for the lawyer. lol

Vamps, why would either attorney contact you to testify? Did you see the beating. Were you involved in any way with these two people before your ex testified? He was your ex so why would they contact you?

As I said I may be wrong about things, but I would assume that once the prosecution found my ex to testify against Davido for them wouldn't the defense want to do anything and everything to discredit that witness to help keep the defendant off of death row in the first place?!?!? Maybe I'm just an idiot when it comes to all this crap, but that would make the most sense. Why wait until years later when it could have possibly been avoided in the first place.

Perhaps because maybe they're looking for a reliable witness, lol.
