New testimony reshapes Hains trial defense gains
A recalled driver testified Thornton Hains spoke of catching a culprit and asked about Bayside Park real estate. He did not identify Annis, but said Mrs Annis was in the stage. The line about “We've got him now” mattered, as the defense argued the testimony was coerced and inconsistent. The witness faltered on cross examination, admitting prior affidavits contained mistakes. The judge warned him to tell the truth, but refused to jail him for perjury.
