Jane Doe 3 says if she knew then what she knows now, she would have been more careful and more precise in her words, in her details, in her language, in reporting to the police etc. The thing is, it doesn't matter what she did, the defence would find a way to find fault with what she said. They would say her language was TOO precise, TOO unnatural, TOO much. That's what they do.

100% agreed! This is the job of the defence, of course, but something that the prosecution can probably do with touching on in summing up.

E Jean Carrol and Jane Doe 3 and Zooey Zephyr are all heroes today for standing up to abusers

Tony said he was doing his notes in the hallway when Danny and Bijou came out of the courtroom and walked past him, and Tony heard Bijou say "Well, of COURSE, they're ALL LYING!"

So here's a thought. You're married for many years, you have a family together. You've been living with this charge over your lives for many years. You've sat through a preliminary hearing, a trial, and now a retrial. You're also waiting on a civil trial. Surely you've discussed all the ins and outs of all of these proceedings and the havoc it's wreaking in your home. And STILL, you feel you have to say to your husband, the accused, at this stage of the game: "Well, of COURSE, they're ALL LYING!"

Doesn't that ring a little off to you? A little, shall we say, desperate? Insecure? Weird?

She is in another reality. Maybe reality will hit home when he is in prison.

I can't imagine saying that to my husband in public out loud. It was a performance. I think she was saying it knowing someone in the hallway - the media - Tony - would hear. But it's also maybe trying to reassure Danny that she still believes him. I just know that if I truly believed that my husband was innocent, I wouldn't be saying a word about anything in public. It was such a stupid thing to do. It was kinda high school. And it just illustrates that they're not normal people.

Typical of scientologists! Anyone against scientology *MUST* be lying. All part of the scientology-Truman show.

Great reporting Tony! 👍💙

Thank you JD3 for being so strong.🌹

one can only conclude she is ok with his behavior and doesn't see it as criminal and that they are above the US law and abide one that seems to be based on fraud, warped ignorance, violence, and coercive control.

She has to believe that to stay married to him. I hope justice proves her wrong. Maybe she can be a desperate little wifey and bake him a cake with a file in it in prison. Scientology brainwashing at its finest,
