What Gregg Woodnick has said about Laura Owens v. Clayton Echard paternity trial

Woodnick said Owens' attorney told him on the morning of trial that she might not enter the courtroom because she was frightened of a subpoenaed witness.

“If I recall correctly, her attorney said, I'm not sure if she's even going to go into the courtroom because she's so scared. And I think that he'd called 911”

Woodnick argued Owens was trying to prevent the court from hearing testimony from other men who described similar experiences.

“I think Laura had a problem with anyone coming in and sharing the fact that there were multiple prior victims who had very similar situations happen to them”

Woodnick said that despite feeling the trial went well, bench trial outcomes are unpredictable.

“We definitely felt the trial went well. But listen, I have lost trials that I have thought I was going to win. And I have won trials that I thought I had lost”

Woodnick said Owens remained committed to her account even after the ruling.

“Say what you want about Laura Owens, but she was all in. I think as I say this, she is still all in on her lie”
