I think DT's objection was because JA included the portion 'Now assume the woman killed her own child." It's magical thinking on the part of DT that this is now NOT in evidence! Plenty of evidence from which to draw that conclusion. JA is brilliant.

That raises a good point. Did she ever say she was a member of ANY professional board connected with her area of supposed expertise in grief?

If anything qualifies as "grief" then can the area of "grief" actually be considered an area of expertise? Doesn't this go to the argument that JA made concerning allowing this witness to testify in the first place? Everyone has experience with grief, thus all jurors have experience with...

booooombshell!

In trials, "experts" are frequently called upon to give an opinion based on a hypothetical. However, I can't recall EVER hearing a hypothetical for purposes of trial with so many assumptions, and I'm surprised JA didn't object to more aspects of it. (Goodness knows if I were at the SA table I'd...

I'm with you. HOWEVER, from all I have seen and heard about him he is indeed an excellent judge. (Was also an excellent attorney when he practiced.) So, I'm going to sit back and take notes and trust he knows more than I do on this, but..... I'm fighting the urge to be a skeptic about this one...

Evidently!:floorlaugh:

I think it's FSU not UF. My thoughts too though.

It's crossed my mind while listening to her. If she has had a stroke then I apologize for my comments. Otherwise, there's a problem here. She can't recall the peer review journals she's been published in without her CV? COME On! This is amazing!

My thoughts exactly! JA:"Again, not responsive." I predict we're going to hear this a lot while this witness is on the stand.

I learned RK was in the Coast Guard. (Didn't watch minute by minute yesterday. Maybe it came out then, and I missed it.)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is special recess Jurror smoke break?

:floorlaugh:

I am too! (and I'm in the comfort of my own home, and will see my loved ones tonight, watch t.v. and sleep in my own bed!) Those poor people!

:floorlaugh: HHJBP: "Impeaching who?" :floorlaugh:

I agree. It's just a red-herring. Clearly RK wanted his son to think well of him. Since son had not seen him since he was EIGHT YEARS OLD.... RK may have felt that he had been portrayed as (or maybe had been) what is frequently referred to as a "dead-beat-dad". (Not judging here, just making...

I had missed that too!

I see it as estranged father trying to impress his son. Hopefully the jury will see that too.

I learned that I pray never to know the depth of pain that GA has felt!
