I understand tonight Channel 15 did a brief story on my blog and that I wasn’t attending the trial because I am a witness. I am a mitigation witness. That means, should Mark be found guilty of any of the crimes, I will be used as a defense witness at the sentencing phase. That’s it. Even though I would be a witness after the verdict, I am still prohibited by law from attending the trial. It is not my decision not to be there.
I’m not a witness for the State in any regard whatsoever and want to be sure that’s understood. Thanks.
