WITNESSES FOR THE PROSECUTION CONTINUED TODAY
So, Gypsy was back on the stand today.
Her testimony confirmed:
She sent MacNeill a picture of her ass the day after his wife died; she and MacNeill exchanged text messages during his wife's funeral; she and MacNeill shopped for engagement rings a couple of months after Michele's death and he bought her a 4.5 carat ring; MacNeill told her that he never loved Michele; she presented herself to others as MacNeill's wife, Jillian MacNeill... She said her relationship with MacNeill has been over for a very long time and she couldn't remember a lot of details about the day he proposed.
BUT, prosecutors then called her mom, Vicki Willis (pictured below), to the stand.

Mrs. Willis testified about how the family set off fireworks to mark the engagement and celebrated at a restaurant on July 4th, 2007. Mrs. Willis said the family was "giddy" about such a fine and impressive man joining the family (at least, that's what she thought about him then) and that she was led to believe that his wife had died that January, not just 3 months prior to the engagement party.
Michele's sister, Linda Cluff (pictured below), testified today that at a funeral luncheon, Martin MacNeill was joking around and laughing about how he was going to have to get used to living the life of a bachelor.

12 year-old Ada MacNeill's (pictured below) interview video with a female investigator shortly after Michele's death was played in court.

Ada answered a lot of questions about what happened that day and about her dad with, "I don't wanna talk about it". But, she did tell the investigator that the water in the tub was almost brown and it was hard to see; her mother was all the way submerged under water; she'd just walked home from school with her dad when she discovered her mom; her dad sent her to fetch the neighbors to get Michele out of the tub.
Martin MacNeill's account conflicts with Ada's. He told his older daughters that Michele was slumped over the tub with her head and her feet sticking out.
Tomorrow's witnesses
Daughters Sabrina, Vanessa and Alexis are expected to be called to testify on Wednesday.
