Yet another Crown stutterstep

Ghomeshi livestream resumes at 11:00am...third witnessGhomeshi lawyer Marie Henein refers to third witness "disclosure issue" as being like "Twilight Zone."

**********

UPDATE: Ask a hoary old Liberal pundit...lowly warrenNope, no mistrial. Third witness now testifying.choking corroboratedLesson learned... Kinsella makes prediction, smart money goes the other way.

Here's today's bombshell. Apparently even after choking event, the witness not only went on another date with Ghomeshi, but had "sexual contact" (which I interpret to mean, in the parlance, she "slept") with him... but did not inform cops or Crown of this fact until last Friday after Marie Henein ripped into Lucy Decoutere.she slept with hima fter assault?Now, I'm no lawyer like Lowly Warren, but if some guy I knew punched me in the face... and I had a beer with him the next day... does that invalidate the prior assault? I don't think so.

CORRECTION: To quote BBT actor Jim Parsons
(aka Dr. Sheldon Cooper)...

...FWIW - "Romantic contact" was not "coitus."did not sleep with him after assaultWitness is right, testifying is embarrassing.

Court adjourned until 2:15 so that Marie Henein can "adjust her cross examination."

And boy-oh-boy... did she ever...handjob**********

LAST WORD: If you read one thing Ghomeshi...
Anger percolated over the seeming disconnect between the allegations and Ghomeshi’s public persona as an enlightened, sensitive progressive who called Jack Layton his “mentor.”
It's all here... back to the late eighties.
