Looking at the facts and John had words he did not give a testimony but one of the things that we did doing when we first went into the jury room.

What's does decide whether each witness was credible or not credible.

And Andrew Young was one of the witnesses that we set was not credible.

I interviewed him it's interesting you say that you know -- came out of the book and then there yeah she didn't think his testimony was credible so did you totally dismiss it.

We tried to his test and hanging and cherry yanks have to do not believe because he did for awhile say that he was the father -- do not believe that.

We did not believe that and when we -- following the money all of the money was sending -- and Andrew young's bank account.

And -- to the people that testified about him as far as his character.

Other than the affair.

Really had good things to say about him.
