2011.06.18 TRIAL Day Twenty-two (Morning Session Only)

[mitzi]

This is kind of sad to me -- he was a great practitioner once, but he is definitely slipping now and his age his showing...

Too bad that Werner's son Daniel (who is also a ME), wasn't obtained by the DT, but, oh wait...Daniel thinks it was a homicide.

 

[MyTinkieGirl]

please please PLEASE ask him how much he's getting for his testimony!!! Sorry...but I wanna see him flip out!!!

 

[MissDiva]

I have been ripped off I don't have a basement, I want the rest of my house stat!

In certain swampy or extremely water-prone areas they don't build basements. I found his analogy humorous, because I wouldn't necessarily WANT a basement if I lived in a certain place. Basements aren't always necessary. Depends where you live.

 

[Ricki]

Casey almost laughed at her own expert witness!!! lol

I hope the jury is seeing her unusual reactions.

 

[YellowSubmarine]

Spitz is the BEST prosecution witness so far!!!

 

[Kimster]

ATTENTION:

I've asked once to stop referring to his problems as being related to his age. We do not know what he's been like on the stand in other cases. Maybe he was like this twenty years ago.

I agree that he appears to be a weak witness, but we have NO EVIDENCE that it has to do with his age! Stating he seems to be befuddled is fine, but leave it at that!!! And describe who he is BY HIS NAME.

Thank you!

Spitz is not hearing the words JA is using in his question to catch he's asking about skeletal remains. ???

 

[heartfortruth]

I do not give this doctor any sympathy or a pass because of his age and his past career and credentials. I have been young and now I am old and I am guessing we may be seeing the REAL Dr. Spitz.

 

[lchal]

I have a super soft spot for 'older' people and I typically wouldn't appreciate anyone getting the 'best' of an aged person, however, JA is simply doing his job to prove that WS didn't do a thorough job based on all the facts of the case. WS was relying (first mistake) on what JB told him and perhaps what CM told him.

On this one, I am fully on team JA, and not on team WS. I truly believe that the jurors will tend to think as I am... just my :twocents:

 

[sleutherontheside]

This is better than sex!!!!!!

 

[mck16]

He just said he has been out of the 'main stream'. WoW!!

 

[Azcrabcakes]

The good doc is getting a little hot under the collar because he can't answer any of JA's questions.

IMO

Oh phooey... I was enjoying him at first. I am afraid he IS failing up there. Awwwww.

 

[Wholehearted]

Dr. Spitz is getting very emotional stating that it's protocol to open the skull.

 

[Boots-OK]

This is kind of sad to me -- he was a great practitioner once, but he is definitely slipping now and his age his showing...

It is somewhat sad; however, JA didn't put him on the stand. He's only there because JB asked and he agreed to present expert testimony.

JA is only doing his job and he's doing it very well. He hasn't been disrespectful to Dr. Spitz at all, imo.

 

[TortillaChip]

There is no protocol, anyway they can bring Dr. G back in rebuttal.

 

[deelytful1]

My My and I think JA has just begun....

 

[Mendara]

CM is enjoying this - why?

 

[Quiche]

Vass and Haskel are in the book! LOLOLOL

 

[andalso]

Does this mean that Dr. G will have a chance to come back and rebut this testimony, about her "shoddy" work?

 

[mitzi]

The good doc is getting a little hot under the collar because he can't answer any of JA's questions.

IMO

The gallery better watch out...this is how Jackson's (DA) cross began in Phil Spector's case.
