The judge, who handed down the guilty verdict, is weighing whether to call the lawyer as a witness, especially since his account contradicts the victim’s courtroom testimony. The case centers on a waitress fired from Stronach’s business, assaulted after a job meeting — a less severe allegation that still led to conviction. The judge insists on hearing the victim’s side before deciding on a mistrial, but warns that if the lawyer’s testimony significantly contradicts the victim’s and was pivotal to the guilty verdict, a new trial may be unavoidable. The courtroom drama continues as all eyes watch for the next move. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
