"Oh shit, I think I stabbed him", is what Ferrer said to Sophie Rocheleau who made a very credible witness for the defense today but her truthful testimony further shows Ferrer's isn't telling the whole truth

Sophie Rocheleau, a former co-defendant of Ferrer's and his girlfriend at the time of the altercation between Ferrer and Douglas Anderson, testified today. She was being questioned on direct by Ferrer's attorney and then her testimony was interrupted around 11:30 a.m. today so two other witnesses, Cher Southard and Mary Driscoll could testify  could briefly testify. She will resume her testimony next week.

While some of her testimony verified what Ferrer said, there were statements that showed Ferrer lied or left information out. One such example was that Rocheleau, Ferrer and Nicholas Stoiber went to the Alibi after Everett's. Another is that Ferrer said that he should get rid of the knife and the quote above.

Rocheleau was a very credible witness. At times, she did not recall some details and said so but she did not hesitate to answer and even when she gave responses not favorable to Ferrer, she did not take them back when Mr. Reavis tried to clarify.

By her own testimony, she said she had been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum disorder and had difficulty communicating. She has been quiet in court or when I have seen her at the courthouse but that is to be expected. She communicated really well for someone not used to being on a witness stand on a regular basis and she was very pleasant. Very likeable.

Law enforcement and the DA's office has maintained that Stoiber and Rocheleau were truthful in their testimony from day one. Court took a short break and when Rocheleau walked out, she briefly glanced at Ferrer who did not eveen acknowledge her.
