GEORGETOWN, Texas - Day two of the hearing to decide if Greg Kelley will get a new trial concluded after multiple people took the stand Thursday.
The former high school football player was convicted of sexually assaulting a child in 2014 and sentenced to 25 years in prison.
Kelly and his lawyers say he's innocent and are fighting to get his conviction overturned.
Thursday, a total of seven people took the stand.
The first was Patricia Cummings, who served a Kelley's trial lawyer in 2014.
Cummings revealed that she had a prior relationship with the McCarty family since she represented one of the boys back in 2002, and described their relationship as a friendly one.
The prosecution asked Cummings if she was ever approached by people to consider Johnathan McCarty as a possible suspect while she was representing Kelley, and Cummings said she did talk to a few people about if McCarty could have been involved, but that's about it.
Cummings' testimony was followed by Tracey Anderson, the mother of Kelley's longtime girlfriend, Gaebri Anderson.
Anderson testified that she had met with Cummings during the investigation and suggested that she look into McCarty as a potential suspect, but Cummings reportedly held her hand up to stop that train of thought and said, "we aren't going to go there."
Anderson went on to say that multiple people - including her husband, daughter, Kelley and Kelley's mother - had asked Cummings to look into McCarty, but those requests were never followed up.
"It was so obvious to us. We couldn't figure out why no one was taking that avenue," Anderson said.
When asked by the prosecution if she felt that Cummings had blinders on, Anderson testified that she believed Cummings had a mission and she was determined to go that way.
Prosecutors brought up an interview Cummings did following the trial, saying that a juror told her that they "kept waiting to hear...if there was somebody else that did it."
In the interview, Cummings said that because they never got that answer, the jurors believed the child that accused Kelley of sexual abuse.
Anderson's rebuttal was that if another scenario was presented to the jury, that would have changed everything.
AJ Keirn, Cummings' private investigator, was next to take the witness stand.
Kelley's lawyer asked him if he thought there was any apparent conflict of interest, to which Keirn testified that he believed there was because of the relationship Cummings had with the McCarty family.
Kelley's football coach, Lee Bridges, took the stand after Keirn.
After that, Angel Perez, a friend of McCarty, testified that he witnessed McCarty do multiple drugs, including marijuana, cocaine and Xanax.
Perez detailed McCarty's behavior in the locker room, saying that McCarty would approach other guys while naked and get very close to them, which would make them uncomfortable.
Cody Mitchell, a Texas Ranger who was called on by the Williamson County DA's office to investigate this case, testified that he believed there was "witness tampering" by the Cedar Park police officers who were part of the victim's forensic interview.
"Two officers went in to the room and approached the situation more like they were talking to a suspect instead of a victim, especially a 4-year-old victim, and did it in such a way that it was leading," Mitchell said. "It was suggestive, pretty much telling them that 'you said such and such, right?'"
Mitchell went on to say that he would be scared to death to think that he could be on the other side of this and not have a thorough interview conducted and that the investigation was not conducted fairly or thoroughly.
Mitchell said that Kelley is still a suspect and cannot be ruled out, but McCarty is the second suspect and there is a third person but they didn't disclose their name.
The hearing will resume Friday at 9 a.m.
