"Hurry up and shoot her!"

10:38am. Liesch recounts the moment that a man walked into the back office where she lay on the floor.

-A black man without a gun looked at her. "There's one in here!" Started screaming at her. "Who did you call? Who did you call?" Liesch: "I didn't call anyone, I swear I didn't call anyone!" He is stepping on her arms. A second person with a gun entered the office.

-First man is yelling to the other man with the gun. "Just shoot the (expletive)! Shoot the (expletive) (expletive)! Hurry up and shoot her! Just shoot the (expletive) (expletive)!" Liesch testifies that she was crying and screaming, begging for her life.

-Liesch testifies that a third man informed the two robbers, "The cops are here!" The two people in the room ran out. Still unsure of her safety, she remained on the ground until the police entered.

-Liesch identifies goggles, a gun, and a pair of black Prada shoes observed during the robbery. Hameline asks how she is doing now. Liesch: "For the most part okay, depends on the day."

KEY UPDATE: In earlier testimony, the black Prada shoes were identified as the shoes of John Healy.

-10:51am. On cross-examination, Wittman soft-spokenly challenges Liesch's recollection of the suspects' physical characteristics. There are not a lot of specifics.
Liesch is off the stand at 10:54am.

That's it? Was she able to identify any of them?

I can't imagine going through this or the effect it would have on your life. You never think about something like this happening in our community.

Thanks again, Andy for your continued coverage of the trial.

GREAT JOB LESLEE, IT MUST HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE TO HAVE TO RELIVE THIS. DOES IT MATTER IF HE HAD A GUN OR NOT? HE HAD DIAMOND RINGS AND ROLEX WATCHES IN HIS POSSESION. HE CAN SIT AND GIGGLE ALL DAY LONG WITH HIS LAWYER, WE WILL ALL BE HAVING THE LAST LAUGH WHEN HE GOES TO JAIL.

She doesn't have to identify Healy, he had a mask and goggles on could you identfy someones face after they had a mask and goggles on? Could you identify someones shoes that were standing on your arm?!

i think many of us would have blocked out most of the details if someone was screaming profanites and there was a gun pointed at us. Its pretty impressive that at least she could identify the shoes the scum was wearing
