2011.06.17 TRIAL Day Twenty-one (Morning Session)

[Donjeta]

They need to ask him what happens if the pig body is triple bagged.

 

[KenoshaKid]

Witness talking about bloat and rupture of the body. ICA is unfazed.

 

[uklaw]

ooooooh JA "counsel is busy texting" lol lol lol

See above though. Incurred the wrath of the Judge. And was not needed. Prosecutors should have utmost propriety if they are going to be prosecuting others for their alleged wrongdoing. And JA's editorial was clearly innappropriate.

 

[Mendara]

Jb is violating a court order and texting..nice.

JA is upset because there is NO point to this testimony since an expert in the field of decomp liquid and it is fact.

This witness is NOT an expert in what he is giving his opinion on.

 

[A_News_Junkie]

Be professional? Like TEXTING while in court and specifically while addressing the judge? What is HHJB smoking??????

Anti-appeal and decorum cigs. ===== ~~

 

[jon_burrows]

I am sick and tired of JP's rudeness toward Jeff Ashton and coddling of JB. Disgraceful to me.

ITA. I'm losing respect for JBP.

IMO

 

[Mountain_Kat]

As far as I'm concerned, JA's point was valid.

JMO

 

[GiantPickle]

The worst part of that was "lets stick to the facts" how in the hell is the DT sticking to facts?!?!?!?!?!!?

 

[Steely Dan]

JA gets a dressing down by HHJBP for the texting comment.

 

[KenoshaKid]

JA argues what he is saying now is not in his depo.

 

[Mohabi]

I'd love to have seen the look on the jurors faces when JA said that.

The jury is not in the room.

 

[Azcrabcakes]

Um I have to disagree. I have seen maggots before on a gangrene foot so Yeah if a fly can get to it to lay a egg then you will get flies/maggots. It depends on the controlled climate where a body is kept verses being outside or with a window open on a hot day. So I can see where he can be right and you can be right. Depends on the situation.

P.S. I too am a RN. I have seen patients come into a place and not realize the maggots because they couldn't feel it and are elderly and unable to care for themself - hence why they come to get help.

I too have seen maggots on open wounds, particularly diabetics, as they often have lost feeling in the feet. I have seen housefly eggs having been laid in gangrenous tissue as well. IN a live person.

 

[Just K]

Missed the last 30 minutes. Did this expert wrap the pig in three plastic bags and then put the pig in a laundry basket and put a bag of trash on top of the decomposing body?

 

[fifteen89]

Is the jury in or out?

 

[Donjeta]

JA talks- one- word- at-a-time. Hard time keeping his temper?

 

[cityslick]

I'm sorry HHJP having an atty texting in front of you is NOT professional. You're getting after the WRONG atty.

JA rambling on and on is not professional either. They are both acting like children. I don't blame the judge for getting pissed off.

 

[TiaM]

OK HHJP, but why is it OK for CM to stand up and bellow half the morning the other day, and make insinuations and innuendo about the SA's, LE and all of their other witnesses?

Why is only Baez protected under the "cloak" of "let's not raise our voices, Mr Ashton, let's be professional when speaking of counsel"

Just because Baez wants to be "mainstreamed" doesn't mean it is the best solution.

 

[BigFatMommyDog]

Jury is not in the room

 

[mydailyopinions]

Keep your cool JA, you are doing great

 

[TotallyObsessed]

You go Jeff Ashton. Sick and Tired of HHJP slapping you down when <modsnip> get to RULE AND RUN that courtroom. It is obvious that JB texts the questions to LKB, and then reads the questions posed as questions to the witness. AND he can't even read them correctly.

I think this is a disgrace. Shame on HHJP for allowing it. My opinion is quickly heading south on HHJP.
