Kellen Winslow II trial: Prosecution witness caught in web of lies and contradictions

May 21, 2019, 5:39 PM, Marc X. Carlos of Marc Carlos Law, ACP was quoted several times in Yahoo Sports in article titled, ‘Kellen Winslow II trial: Prosecution witness caught in web of lies and contradictions.’

The prosecution has charged Winslow with raping not just Doe No. 1, but also a 59-year-old homeless woman, as well as a then-17-year-old at a 2003 party. Winslow was 19 at the time. There are also indecent acts where he allegedly exposed himself to an elderly female neighbor who was in her yard gardening and a 77-year-old in a health club hot tub while Winslow was out on bail and awaiting trial.

Doe is the first to testify, but her story got shaky almost immediately. There were gaping holes and obvious questions during a friendly direct, and then things began to blow up completely under a calm, but purposeful, cross examination by defense attorney Marc Carlos.

She presented a series of contradictions, misstatements and what can be characterized only as outright lies. She often answered the same question in opposite ways while on the stand. She was not consistent with her testimony from pretrial hearings.

Maybe most troubling for the government, she unfurled a story where she never seized ample opportunities to either get away, alert nearby people or call 911 on her cell phone that was in her possession throughout the fairly lengthy encounter.
