Some of we freepers posted Mitchell was very effective in questioning Ford the same day.
I believe she could have asked more probing questions, but my guess is in her professional mind, as an expert, she determined early on the statements would not hold up and she knew what her recommendation was going to be. What she didn’t count on was how the dims would be a no to Kav, even if she got Ford to admit she was lying about the whole thing. She is flake-y......assuming the dims will do the right thing when she give her summation that this would never be prosecuted and was weaker than most she said / he said situations.
