BrothersTrial - > The People vs. Vincent Brothers -> Brothers recounts collission with boy on bicycle
Brothers recounts collission with boy on bicycle
Deputy District Attorney Lisa Green continued to question Vincent Brothers.

Brothers said he does not remember talking to Dande Brothers on Tuesday Sept. 23, 2003. Brothers does not remember asking Dande where Troy was, but he said he remembered looking for Troy.

He visited the housing development in Dayton on July 6, 2003, in the afternoon. Brothers said he thought Joanie Harper said she might go out of town around this time. Brothers called Joanie Harper at her house.

He bought pizza with cash. He also bought a baseball cap for Marques on Sat.

Brothers said he does not remember the hours he was at the mall. He drove from the mall to the housing development.

Brothers said he does not recall what time he went to Dayton. He said he picked up some information on the housing development in Dayton, but he does not remember where that info ended up.

He returned from Dayton at bout 7 p.m. on Sunday July 6, 2003.

Brothers said the crash with the kid’s bike did not damage the Dodge Neon. Brothers said his car was stopped when the bike hit it. Brothers said the boy was riding alongside the bike, the kid tripped and the bike ran into Brothers’ car, he said.

Brothers said the kid jumped up and picked up the bike. He said he asked the child if he was alright. Brothers said before the crash, he was lost and was driving up and down the street when he saw Madira Dowell. He thought he looked like his daughter Margaret.

Brothers said he put one foot on the ground and the child had gotten up and was ready to run. Brothers said the child was white. Brothers said he asked the boy if he was alright.

Brothers said he waved to Madira down before hitting the child. Brothers said Brien Adkins came out and he thought that was the child’s father. How was the weather? Sunny, nice.

Brothers said it took five minutes t

“Isn’t it true that you were not the driver of the car?” Green said.

Brothers denies this.

“Isn’t it true that you are lying about being in a Tamba Ledbie?” Green said.

Brothers denies this.

“Did you kill your family on July 6, 2003,”

“I love my family, I would never hurt them,”

“I would never hurt my family, never,”

Brothers said he gave the mother his insurance information.

Brothers said he never asked the boy’s name. She said she believes the mother was white. Was her name Angela? Brothers said he does not remember her name.

Did she tell you the little boy’s name was Brandon? No ma’am.

Brothers said he went back to the house and watched Sports Center.

Brothers said he did not see his family that evening. Brothers said he went in through the side door. Melvin woke him up early that morning to play video games.

“You didn’t feel responsible to tell them that you were going there,”

Should we start saving every receipt from every purchase for the rest of our lives, in the event that Lisa Green wants to prosecute us? If I have cash on me and I want a coke, it does not occur to me that I might need that receipt for that coke to prove that I didnt wipe out my family. Why doesnt she have big stuff? I kept thinking that the prosecution must have something that the public doesnt know about or else they wouldnt take this to trial. Instead the case becomes more and more flimsey as the days go by. What an incredible waste of my tax dollars. She is going over the same thing over and over and nothing that appears to be the "smoking gun".

This is not Perry Mason.   Hopefully the jury recognizes that.   The most you can do on cross-examination is to make the defendant appear evasive, or give answers contradicted by other witnesses.    Than Green can argue in summation that the defendant wants people to believe he is telling the truth and everyone else is lying.    You need to set your expectations lower and remember this is not Matlock or Perry Mason.   The jury will ultimately determine if she is scoring any points.

She is building a case...and in order to do that she needs to ask specific questions.  I'm sure there's more to come.

She is building a case

The problem is that she is building the case on the fly.

That rarely works, but this is Kern County. And justice is dumb as well as blind here.

Sounds more like she is writing a Harry Potter sequel.

The problem is that she is building the case on the fly.

When you build a house....you start with the trenching...then the cement....then the foundation...(I'm sure there are more steps in between these steps)....but you keep building until you have a finished product.  Of course you have to use a blueprint....and I realize this; however, the DA's blueprint is that he did it!!  It's up to the prosecution to show the burden of proof; therefore, she has to look in every nook and cranny to find evidence against him. 

And justice is dumb as well as blind here.

So, you believe that justice is dumb and blind in Kern County?!?  Are we supposed to declare this man innocent because of his color?  If so, then I agree, justice would indeed be dumb and blind.

I canNOT imagine race being a factor in this case:  The VICTIMS were the same race as the accused!!!  THAT is NOT racial!!!

If no one cared about finding the murderer BECAUSE the victims were black, THAT would be racial.

People DO care about these innocent victims!!!

Everyone wants the murderer punished.  This was a hell-bent action, and the murderer deserves to be sent  there.

Yes all the victim were the same,, but that does not matter if you are Black in Kern, you will burn!!
