“Objection, Your Honor!” Kyle said. “That’s merely the witness’s own opinion.”
“Sustained.”
“OK. Well, was there anything that she did that made you feel uncomfortable?”
“Besides her complaining about not having money? Everything. I learned to tune her out.”
“She complained about money?”
“She always complained about money . . . how she didn’t have enough to live like she wanted to live.”
“Objection, Your Honor! The witness is speculating.”
“Overruled.”
“Do you think she killed Dr. Ricci?”
“Objection!” Kyle said.
“Sustained.”
“Allegedly, the defendant murdered Dr. Ricci. From your experience working with the defendant, did she give any indication that she didn’t like Dr. Ricci?”
“No. They were actually really close.”
“Close, huh? What do mean by really close?” Prosecutor Swartz moved closer to Karen.
“Um . . . I mean . . . it wasn’t a secret to any of us that they were having an affair.”
“Objection, Your Honor!” Kyle shouted. “That’s speculation.”
“Sustained!”
“What made you think that they were allegedly having an affair?”
“She told me.”
“Who? The defendant?”
“Yes. Plus, I walked in on them kissing one night.”
“OK, now we’re getting somewhere. So you actually saw the two of them engaging in a kiss?”
“Yes, I did.”
“How did you feel when Diamond told you she was having an affair with the doctor?”
“It didn’t make me feel like anything. I mean, to each her own.”
“Did it ever occur to you how Diamond had gotten the job there when she had no experience?”
“No, because when I went to work, I minded my own business.”
“Ms. Odums, please tell the court what you did know about Dr. Ricci and Diamond Reed.”
Karen looked over at Diamond, who was now leaning forward in her chair, wondering what Karen had to tell. She didn’t think Karen knew anything.
“They were involved in insurance fraud.”
