Heading: lisa's testimony

Text: Lisa testified that she saw her father yelling at her mother about the furniture but did not see him hit her. When Lisa turned around at some later point she saw her brother and father fighting. She called 911. Lisa said she did not remember telling the deputy that the altercation started when defendant hit Mrs. Powell. While she was on the phone with the dispatcher, Lisa saw her father come out of the house with a gun. She was not sure what happened next. Defendant stood in the driveway with the gun. When asked if she saw defendant point the gun at her brother, Lisa replied, I saw it in the air. I'm not sure. You can't tell from the distance that I was what he was aiming at. It wasit was up like this, the way that, I guess, you would normally carry a gun. You don't carry it like that, or like that. Like this. I don't know. He just had it in his hands like this. On cross-examination, Lisa denied hearing any gunshots. Lisa remembered the dispatcher asking her if there was a gunshot, but she did not remember what she told him. Lisa said she was hysterical on the telephone because when defendant came out with a gun she was scared. Lisa testified that her written statement, given right after the incident, was true and correct.
