Prosecutor: "You asked her if she had been drinking?"

Daughter: "She said she wasn't drunk or anything.

Getting up and walking over towards the cameras, Senser got in the faces of the photographers gathered to cover the trial.

When the Sensers got home she says Amy was laying on the patio couch resting or sleeping, which is not unusual.

Senser walked down the line of cameras, asking one television photojournalist "Should I smile for ya? Hi, good morning," he said, leaning into the camera lens.

He surveyed the gathered media, asking where each camera was from before walking away from the scene.

Meanwhile, upstairs in a courtroom the legal drama continued.
