Maletta ended up not testifying for the prosecution, and I don’t know the reason why. Mandi's lawyers almost brought Maletta over to testify at the trial as part of their defense. After the defense subpoenaed Maletta to testify, there was some talk of whether Maletta would be brought over to the courthouse in the same bus as the other jailhouse witnesses, and whether they would have a chance to talk and get their stories straight. Prosecutor Stone made sort of a joke that he did not want Maletta talking to the other girls. So whatever Maletta was going to say in the end, it does not seem like it would have been favorable to the prosecution. IV-22
