Next witness was Ms. Lockhart. She gets on the stand and lies. She says that she saw Michelle and that she knows it was Michelle coming out of Ben's room stuffing something in her purse. She also says that Michelle and Danny both came to her to talk to her about her testimony. They both asked her to tell the truth, and she thought that meant they wanted her to tell things in a better light for Michelle. Ross crosses and asks her about her son and who was paying all the medical bills. He got some sighs from the jury but by the end Ms. Lockhart would not shake.
