Jane Doe # 2 takes the stand in the Kailan Meserve jury trial today

Jane Doe # 2 took the stand in the Kailan Meserve case today.  The details of what she went through are in the links to the preliminary hearing.

In this post, I am highlighting key aspects of direct and cross examination.

Jane Doe # 2 told Deputy District Attorney Brie Bennett that she did not have any cuts or bruises but she "felt sore for 5 to 7 days."

She answered defense attorney Mr. Russ Clanton's questions calmly. He was not able to impeach her testimony, she was specific and credible in her answers.

 She also corrected Mr. Clanton on some claims in his opening statement. She said she did not borrow Kailan Meserve's jacket. "He offered it to Ashley, she said no". It was a cold night, later, "he offered it to me. His wife came over and saw I was wearing his jacket."

Jane Doe #2 said when she woke up after the alleged sexual assault, to her knowledge, she was alone in the house. When she went out to leave, she was crying, Ashley Growling was outside. Jane Doe #2 said to Growling, "I gotta,go."

Mr. Clanton asked Jane Doe #2, "Do you recall telling Ms. Baxley, Mr. Meserve never threatened you?"

Jane Doe #2 responded, "Yeah."
