Fielding did not testify at Wilson’s trial after a judge deemed her legally unavailable, but jurors were able to hear her preliminary hearing testimony.

The designation came after Assistant District Attorney Tara Britt notified the court in April 2017 that Fielding said her trial testimony would be that she did not remember the incident, which contradicted her preliminary hearing statements.

Britt wrote that the notice from Fielding took place about the same time Fielding asked a judge to vacate the protective order. As a reason for dropping the order, Fielding wrote in part, “I do not feel that Colby Wilson is any threat to me. I love him and want to be with him.”

The preliminary hearing transcript, which the World reviewed on Tuesday, states Fielding told Britt she suffered from three broken ribs and a collapsed lung during the attack. She said Wilson whipped her with an extension cord, punched her more than once and choked her, which “made me scared.”
