The prosecutor admitted to feeling sorry for White before the trial, and neglected to ask the interrogator who had recorded White's confession (and who was a childhood friend of White's and his police softball team coach) about his biases and the support White received from the police because, he said, he did not want to embarrass the detective in front of his family in court.
O avogado acusador admitiu sentir pena por White antes do xuízo e cometer a neglixencia de non lle preguntar ao interrogador quen gravara a confesión do acusado —que de feito foi un amigo de infancia de White e adestrador do seu equipo de sóftbol na policía—, nin sobre a súa posición e o apoio que White obtivo no departamento policial porque, segundo afirmou, non quería avergonzar o detective diante da súa familia no xulgado.
