The UCF Athletics Association Inc. started to make its case Tuesday morning by calling Ronnie Weaver to the stand, a running back for the Knights who was present at the practice the day Ereck Plancher died.

The Plaintiff rested its case the previous afternoon with emotional testimony from the parents of Ereck Plancher, Enock and Gisele.
Gisele Plancher broke down on the witness stand when reading some of the written letters and mothers day cards that Ereck had previously given her and had to have Plaintiff Attorney Steve Yerrid finish reading them over.
One part of a mothers day card read: “I would like to personally thank you for raising me from a boy to a young man. Even with two jobs, you were always there for me, mommy.”
Gisele also talked about how she wanted her son to be a lawyer or a doctor and he wanted to be a business man.
Enock Plancher had testified before Gisele and talked about his trips with his son to Haiti, which they took together to learn more about their heritage and culture.
The Plaintiff called more than twenty witnesses to make its case and it’s expected that the Defense will rest its case and a verdict will be reached by the end of the week.
