Ferrer defense witness 3 and 4 don't make much of a difference

In the last half an hour of today's court hearing in the Juan Ferrer trial, Cher Southard, the manager of the Crew house where the victim, Douglas Anderson lived testified. Past references to her testimony by defense have claimed she was going to testify that Anderson used to get drunk and did not get along with some of the other housemates. Today, in court, she was not as emphatic.

The other witness was Mary Driscoll, a friend of Ferrer's from Crescent City who was a character witness and said Ferrer was a peaceful guy. Other than Nicholas Stoiber, the rest of the defense witness list seems to have a lot of names of bartenders and Ferrer's friends.

No one except Ferrer, Stoiber and Rocheleau were at the altercation. Anderson is dead. That leaves Ferrer whose credibility is toast due to his own actions and words. Character witnesses can't rehabilitate that damage.
