2011.06.17 TRIAL Day Twenty-one (Afternoon Session)

[Quiche]

Why is he on the stain? I thought he wasn't supposed to go there! Sheesh, Baez.

 

[wenwe4]

Dr. H extensive working with forensic anthropologists who tell him this is adipocere....he feels it is in any experts realm...if we go with that Dr. Vass is not anthropologist (Jb laughs)

how long it takes for adipocere to develop...environmental factors...areas of reduced O2 content and more often cool and damp....bodies disenterred...properly laid bodies from funeral home will have adipocere due to cool restricted environment....

.....missed som

JA asked relations your study relates to this...picture of ? child car seat? or stain on carpet from decomp fluid...believe this stain if you can see a stain ....render a decision it came from human decomp....Object- Approach!

 

[NocturnalLady]

Wait a minute....

Now TH is testifying that his pig experiment testimony is useless because it has nothing to do with ANY of the conditions in this case. WTH? So everything he testified to before is irrelevant to this case? So why did he go on and on about it for hours?

 

[Kateyes]

In regards to replicating this case " I would like to do it in the summer time in Florida" .
So, is Dr. Huntington saying his experiment is irrelevant to this case? Cannot believe this -just keeps getting worse! iMO

 

[faefrost]

Wow- I had to go out today and just tuned in for the afternoon session- I can't believe this witness is still on! I suppose I didn't miss anything interesting, right? Things sound tense b/n the atty's and JP.

JA completely savaged the witness on cross. I think he has done more good to the prosecution than the defense. JB is now attempting to backpeddle, but I think any of the witnesses credibility is shot. Both JB and Dr. Huntington are just coming across as sort of stubborn and arrogant.

 

[Shyla]

If I was the court reporter I would be madder that seven hells having to carry the typewriter thingy over to the bench 73 million times a day!

 

[TortillaChip]

Irks me to no end!!! This is the bug guy, and he gets to talk about stains and evidence he has never even seen.

 

[21merc7]

CA scratching imaginary bugs off after seeing evidence photo, GA finger over mouth

[Sleuths4Me]

Really JB is going there? Does this look like a stain from human decomp? Really JB?

 

[grammieto5]

I do not like this witness, he reminds me of my cousin, very sneaky and plays word games.

 

[Donjeta]

Well, I think the jurors are looking at the stain and thinking it looks like it could come from human decomposition.

That's what it looks like to me. But I'm not a chemist.


Just the fact that they're even debating this means it's human decomp to me. If it was not, Casey would be able to inform them where it came from, and the FBI researchers would be able to confirm that analysing the samples.

Juror 16 just took 15's sweater and put it over monitor. Right now there is a pic of trunk liner on screen #CaseyAnthony -jfell

[2goldfish]

I have missed everything from cross til now, because my inlaws came by (surprise!)

I had video up with split screen, and at some point ICA started laughing and my FIL caught it and said....she's very foolish to laugh, no matter what was said her situation is not funny (he doesnt follow the trial)

 

[camcneishg]

well, that was a very stupid question!! MO

 

[Wishbone]

This is a joke. Having the witness testify from pictures on topics he is not an expert in?
I have never seen a bigger waste of money paid for by the taxpayers of Florida. The needle is too good for the defendant.

 

[justanother]

What a circus. Who is the next witness?

 

[SyraKelly]

JB can try and rehabilitate this witness as much as he wants to to,but I don't think it will work-I think he should just call it a day!

 

[TotallyObsessed]

Does the content of this witness' testimony truly warrant all this time and drama????? He's testifying about studies he conducted - not on actual decomposition in this case!

And he just stated that if he had it to do over again, he would replicate to the best of his ability a test in F.L.O.R.I.D.A.

Duh.

Go home already.

 

[fifteen89]

Ok, seriously. WTH does Casey have to say about this????
