Any thoughts on Edgar being called as a witness?

Edgar was at the scene when the girl was taken out of the concrete but I don't see what information he would have. Actually he would have less than Harry. He wouldn't be a great character witness for Harry since he was Harry partner for years and has supplied Harry with information that he couldn't get from the top people at the police department. The jury isn't deciding if Harry was a good or bad cop...they're deciding if he was negligent when he fired on Church.

I think Edgar is being called to testify about the discovery of the concrete blonde. She's trying to have the jury believe Church was innocent, the Dollmaker still being alive and killing, and Harry deliberately killed the innocent Church.

I think Edgar's testimony is not to help Harry but just to prove points for Chandler that Harry should not have shot Church.

>3 Olivermagnus: Yes, this was basically what I was trying to write down. Thank you for wording it so well :)

>3 Olivermagnus: Yes she’s wanting to bring the Concrete Blonde into play as she feels it helps show Harry killed the wrong person.
