“I’m not going to give you their names.” That Caylen Deller cross-examination answer stopped me cold. I break down that exchange and the testimony behind her claim of self-defense in the killing of Chad Mullen. • What Deller said happened at Stormy Stables • Why I questioned the mechanics of her account • The difference between “shot him twice” and “the gun went off twice” • The prosecutor’s questions about why she never called police • Why her refusal to identify supposed confidants mattered to my assessment I’m retired trial attorney Tony DeWitt, and I walk through the courtroom clips that shaped my view of her defense. I explain why I believe her answers helped the state—and why the problems I see extend beyond how she appeared on the witness stand. Watch the exchanges and tell me whether you agree with my analysis.
