2011.06.06 TRIAL Day Eleven (Afternoon Session)

[Bittiness39]

Can someone who is an attorney please explain to me (I have a Juris Doctorate, don't practice) why the Defense would keep this witness on there for this length of time? When I did my clinical internship with the Travis County DA's office, an assistant DA told me, "If you can't draw first blood then BACK off."

 

[Turnadot]

Bring it home, JA!! Bring it home!!!

(((Caylee)))

A cow with a plastic bag on its head that was smoking a joint.

Snort

:floorlaugh:

 

[Chili Fries]

It helps to read the background on the divining rod issue and the leashed flies.Makes a lot more sense when you know what happened,IMO.
JB is hoping to get a reaction ,just by mentioning these two issues,but once you hear the backstory ,"it all makes sense !"
JMO:crazy:

I've read about Vass and divining rods and I think it's not something that makes me feel comfortable about an expert witness.

It is not even 5 pm and I'm pouring a drink. Ashton is doing great! Baez opened the door for meat discussion, yet he is objecting to JA cross!

You guys have ABSOLUTELY cracked me up with your comments- I haven't laughed out loud so much at trial testimony since Phil Spector 1 or Susan Polk's alien abduction defense!

 

[nursebeeme]

driving it home.. driving it home!!!!

I'm from Wisconsin. You wouldn't believe how common that is.

 

[sleutherontheside]

LOVE IT..

It's unfortunate but we were able to find another such case.

 

[kantoo]

I was joking.

i got it :crazy:

 

[smart blonde]

Jeff Ashton is just as brilliant when it comes to law, as Dr. Vass is when it comes to science.

And, that's saying a lot! I am so impressed with both of these men.

 

[fifteen89]

Absolutely no reaction from Casey about another case of a little child being in the trunk for 3 months.

 

[Mountain_Kat]

I learned today that Dr. V is not a chemist.
That my rotting potato smells like decomp.
That the DT has a wrinkled poster board to write on.
That is all.

I learned that the subject of bluestar, which I've been waiting a week to hear about, might not mean anything at all. :banghead:

 

[naturaleza]

A cow with a plastic bag on its head that was smoking a joint.

No, no, no, it was the flies!!!!:maddening:

 

[legalmania]

If that is the case, why didn't he get him off the stand as quick as possible? By leaving him up there I think he made is testimony all the more damning!

Half of the testimony was voir dire.

I think someone didn't get that memo......

 

[darnudes]

I've been laughing too much to worry about getting a t/o - I'm so going to watch Baez do the cross again - I've not laughed like this in a long time.

Dr Vass rocks! Baez not so much

 

[Dr.Fessel]

She just sits there.

 

[rosepetal1065]

comparing this case too another case involving a child..about Caylee's age/size

 

[Tulessa]

Oh wow! JA has really done his homework!

 

[Nali87]

Overruled, never thought I would have a favorite word.
