Why didn't DeRogatis testify?

Also I can't believe it took this many years to convict him even though there was video evidence of him assaulting a minor as early as 2002

not rly shocking, his victims are black girls/women and not many give a shit about their safety.

Because it was the defence who wanted him to testify. Probably so they could try and make him seem like an unreliable witness with a grudge or something.

That was the first time around

This round it wasn't the defense calling for him as a witness

[silverstarry]

According to the source, this time he was subpoenaed by McDavid's attorneys.

Jim DeRogatis... was subpoenaed by the defense

It was still the defence asking him to testify, just a different defendant, I believe.
