2011.06.10 TRIAL Day Fifteen (Afternoon Session)

[Wholehearted]

I have never seen or heard Dr. G. before today. She's really good at explaining things.

 

[rosepetal1065]

ICA seems annoyed by this testimony by Dr G. says poss.objects with body to cause homicide...duct tape and plastic bag

 

[momtective]

Mega pizzzzeeeeddddd!

 

[Red Sox Fan]

This may have been accomplished at the sidebar perhaps, prior to closing for lunch. ?

But don't the jury need to hear that Dr G is formally accepted that she is state's expert witness??

 

[cityslick]

Dr. G is very emotional by the sound of her voice.

I'm not trying to be confrontational but do you really think so? She's a ME, she is exposed to the dead (whether it be man, woman or child) on a daily basis. She's also probably testified in dozens (hundreds?) of trials.

 

[TortillaChip]

This is what makes ICA mad, but I am so happy that Dr. G is on, we needed this after all the theatrics!!!!!!! She is great !!!!!!!!!

 

[Hamsterdance]

Possible manner of death mentioned...Duct tape over mouth and nose, plastic bag suffocation, chloroform

 

[Soulmagent]

Below is the reason I do not transcribe...
3 MAIN ITEMs

when a child is not reported indicates foul play
when a child body is hidden is something we look for in homicide

from observational studies
Beside being found in a feild in a
no reason for duct tape being place on a child
not reasonable to think duct tape placed on after death.

 

[adb263]

During the elongated lunch time, BS stated, IHO, that KC was told to cut the theatrics or she'd be outta there....

From your lips to God's ears!!

 

[Soulmagent]

MOCK JUROR!!

tell me what you thought of that!

 

[strawberry]

Can anything happen if they don't swear a witness in as an expert? Because JA has yet to do that! Is that a big deal?

Maybe they don't have to if she is the County ME? KWIM maybe it is understood that in homicide cases she is the expert for cause/manner of death?

 

[cityslick]

Here we go.

 

[sleutherontheside]

If I understand....Dr. G is not an expert witness. She is speaking in an official capacity which differs from a n expert hired or consulted for the PURPOSE of testifying.

 

[Shadow5618]

Are Cindy and George back?

 

[pinkfly]

She is presenting expert opinion and it is not being objected to and the jury is hearing it so she must be recognized as an expert. Hope all is okay.

 

[sandiegomermaid]

Thankgod for live CNN HLN has WAY too many commercials!

 

[MelissaLee]

Whoa.

Death not reported for a long time, body was hidden, body was placed in a closed container (plastic bags), tape on face = homicide.

Cause could be duct tape over the airways to cause suffocation or plastic bags used to cause suffocation.

Exact cause of death can't be certain - only bones remain - but enough scientific evidence, such as duct tape etc, indicate homicide.

~Absolute Confidence in Dr. G's voice...Seal the Deal, Dr. G~

 

[MrsT]
