About
Called by the defense as Donna Adelson's long-time personal friend, Cunningham testified to Donna's non-threatening character during the Markel-Adelson divorce period and to a hysterical, claimed-ignorant reaction on July 18, 2014 — testimony challenged on cross by CDR records showing no phone call between them that evening, and further undercut on recall cross by an on-stand revision from WhatsApp to Viber.
