It's hard to judge credibility without actually being there to see the witness testify. Everything I've read so far has come through a journalist's filter. The live blog isn't even being written from the courtroom. The journalist is listening to a live feed in the media room and typing what is said. Most of the time he can't even see the witness and can't comment on the jury or judge's reaction to what's being said.
Cross-examination set to begin this morning. We should get a pretty good sense for how well the story holds up after today.
