“In her opening statement she said that Bent will testify that he “was not naked when he was
with the girls, though the girls were.”

He could just call the girls liars. Not so bluntly, of course, but he could point to their fondness for him and say that they were merely verbalizing their fantasies to be with him like the big girls were and exagerating the actual events without realizing how much trouble it would get him into.

It’s right about then when it would be useful to be able to introduce some of the Strong City postings as evidence to the jury.

Mark – I am curious to know whether you talked to Ms. Montoya about Wayne Bent taking the stand. In her opening statement she said that Bent will testify that he “was not naked when he was
with the girls, though the girls were.”

It would be interesting to hear if she (and Bent) will be maintaining such a position now, in light of information in that excerpt (which you posted earlier on beyond90seconds.com) from the letter to the assistant DA, written by the witness “LS,” which indicated that they were indeed both naked and in respect to the testimony (from both of the under-aged witnesses) on the stand, which evidently established that they were, in fact, “skin-to-skin.”

It would seem that if Bent testifies that he had his clothing on during these encounters that he would run the risk of the prosecutors using evidence to the contrary against him. It would be interesting to hear Ms. Montoya’s take on that now and to know if she has a different perspective from what she said in her opening remarks.

“Montoya: Gag order lifted, aims to set record straight”

or, “bent”, as it were.
