Text: ¶ 27. Powell's cousin, Christopher Jennings, testified that he and Powell passed Ayars while traveling to Hattiesburg and that Ayars liked to run us off the road. The chancellor asked Jennings what he meant, to which Jennings responded that Ayars was [j]ust driving crazy. The chancellor informed the witness, [w]ell you gone [sic] have to describe what happened. You just going to have to tell what he did. Don't be using terms like `driving crazy' or `like to have run us off the road.' You're going to have to tell me what happened. After the witness gave inconsistent versions of the events, the chancellor stated, I asked which was it? Was he coming at `em, driving them, or was he behind them? That's what I want to know. It seems to me it would be a pretty simple question. For a traumatic event like that, somebody ought to be able to remember whether he was coming toward me or coming behind me.... When Powell's attorney asked the witness, where did he swerve at you? How did he swerve at you?, the witness failed to respond, and the chancellor remarked Lengthy pause.
