¶ 7.            
Defendant’s mother testified that she saw no physical contact between
the complainant and defendant on the day of the fair, and that she did not
believe defendant had assaulted the complainant in the past.  The
complainant’s mother testified that the complainant tells the truth sometimes,
and sometimes she does not, “just like everybody else.”  The complainant’s
mother also testified that the complainant had previously asked her to “say
whatever [she] could” to keep defendant out of jail, and that the complainant
had previously recanted allegations of abuse.  By way of stipulation, the
complainant’s campground supervisor’s deposition testimony was admitted. 
The supervisor stated that defendant was very polite, that she would not rehire
the complainant because of the complainant’s character, and that defendant did
not threaten to burn down the campground.
