It wasnt something I was going to follow through on. I was trying to make myself look bigger,the woman testified during the trial.

I didnt mean it.

Justice Charlene Anderson dismissed much of the testimony of the accused because she said it conflicted with the testimony of others and because she said it defied common sense and reason.
