Stowers, who is white, denied assertions by the defense that she had directed racial slurs at Crawford, who is black. But during cross-examination, defense attorney Dan Siegel asked about an exchange in which a protester had approached Stowers and asked, “Did you call her a n-?”
Siegel asked Stowers if she responded by saying something like, “They were acting like that.”
“I may have said that,” Stowers testified.
