STORY:"Judge: No recall of wrongful conviction evidence," published by the Associated Press on February 5, 2013.
GIST: "Later Tuesday, during a break from the playing of the videotaped affidavit, Kimberly Gardner, a former prosecutor who had worked for Anderson, testified that before Morton's trial, she had heard Anderson discuss Eric Morton's claims that a monster had killed his mother. "It's very hard to do this because I don't want to be here but I know what I heard," said Gardner, who added that she likes Anderson and feels grateful to him. Gardner said she asked if the boy's statement could be used at trial and was told no because the boy was not a competent witness because of his age.........The court of inquiry was to continue Wednesday with testimony from more witnesses."
