State of CT vs. Julie Amero - witness Minor Child 5
Posted by Ryan on June 3rd, 2007.
This witness testified that Ms. Amero tried to use her body to block the monitor when he went up to print some work out. He was still able to see what was on the monitor.
Q: Were you able to see past her?
A: Yes, I was.
Q: What did you see on that computer screen?
A: Women in lingerie.
Q: Okay. Real people?
A: Real people, yes.
Q: And how were they standing in lingerie?
A: Just like posing.
[...]
Q: Was their whole body covered?
A: No.
Q: Was it skimpy?
A: Yes, skimpy, that’s the word I was looking for.
The second part of that exchange is important because during cross-examination, the following takes place:
Q: You just testified you saw women clothed scantily?
A: Yes.
Q: Didn’t you say in your statement they were wearing a bathing suit?
A: Well, I was twelve. To me that was a bathing suit.
To me, that is very alarming. Despite some bathing suits showing a lot of skin, wearing one does not make a woman scantily clad. Did this witness see women wearing bathing suits, or were they scantly clad? It is only one or the other, and that is never revealed.
