Church friend says Cassandra offered him her Tesla days after Caleb's death
Henry Newman, a church friend of Cassandra, testified Tuesday that he spent time with her in the days following Caleb's shooting and did not initially notice anything unusual about her behavior.
Newman said he "absolutely" knows Cassandra and identified her in court, saying that he has known her through church for three to four years, dating back to their freshman year, when they attended Wednesday youth group meetings and Sunday services together.
Newman testified he was not at McDonald's on the night of the shooting.
Asked about the day after the shooting, Newman said he attended a grievance gathering the next morning. He testified that "everyone he knew" was there, including Cassandra.
"She was with us the whole day," Newman said. He testified that the group later got Dutch Bros and went swimming. At the time, he said Cassandra appeared to be acting normally, though "looking back now there are a few suspicions."
Newman also testified that Cassandra told him he could "have her Tesla" after he complained about not having a car. He said he laughed it off and did not think she was serious.
That Tesla was later identified as the getaway car and seized by Clovis police.
