Empty Promises
“Would Steve Sherer testify in his own defense, a decision that is usually dangerous for a defendant? If he took the stand, he would open himself up to cross-examination by the prosecution. No one had yet heard his voice. Did he have some explanation for what had happened to Jami? If he chose not to testify, the defense would have to resort to only a handful of witnesses. Sherer was not a man laden with friends. His sisters had both been witnesses for the state, however reluctantly. Laura, the y...ounger of Steve's two sisters, had testified that Steve had told her that he and Jami had an argument and "she just left." As far as Laura knew, Steve had not had a key to his mother's house. Usually she or her sister took care of their mother's home when she was away. Saundra, who was next to Steve in birth order, admitted in the state's case that she had a nonexistent relationship with Steve. "I love him," she said, "but I don't like him." Steve had spent at least half of the 1990s in Arizona. Saundra remembered he had called her from Phoenix in the fall of 1995, and that he'd been very upset and sounded as if he'd been drinking.MoreLess
