Witness credibility at issue in Rancho Cucamonga courtroom

At the end of a Friday article on Oscar Gonzalez's attempted-murder trial, there was a brief mention of Gonzalez's defense attorney trying to call the prosecutor to the witness stand.

Robert Von Schlichting said he overheard Deputy District Attorney Michele Daly speaking to Gonzalez's wife Thursday about his possible line of questioning before Gonzalez's wife took the witness stand.

Under direct questioning from Von Schlichting that followed, Maria del Rosario Gonzalez appeared to waver when asked what she discussed with Daly before the hearing.

Von Schlichting apparently wanted to call Daly to the witness stand to verify that she and Gonzalez discussed the potential line of questioning, and thereby call into question Gonzalez's credibility as a witness.

Judge Michael Libutti denied Von Schlichting's request to call Daly to the witness stand.
