Not understanding why the bottle with syringe is such a big deal to the DT. Is there ANYTHING that points to this bottle being connected to this case? If so, I sure missed it.

I'm sure the DT is going to use this as speculation that it has something to do with George and maybe his temper!:waitasec:

Can someone explain to me WHY DCS wears her lanyards in the courtroom?

Sorry, sorry for asking, but has DR. ARPAD VASS TESTIFIED YET??? Thanks in advance!!!

Nope...JB has him STILL waiting.

 

[JSR]

If it wasn't apparent before this it certainly is now apparent to the jury that the testimony the DT is most afraid of is Dr. Vass'.

They have tried every which way to discredit Dr. Vass. Almost every DT has had one question that pertains to Dr. Vass' testimony. It's so apparent it's almost sad.

 

[TortillaChip]

Sorry, sorry for asking, but has DR. ARPAD VASS TESTIFIED YET??? Thanks in advance!!!

Multiple times, but I think he is coming up in DT cic soon.

 

[bonjoviblonde]

Why can't the DT just let the witness tell them their education and experience? They always ask question after question about their background. Just let the witness give the jury the information and swear them in as an expert and shut the heck up! They waste so much time.

I thought the Anthonys didn't use chlorine in the pool. I am winding down thought there'd be firewoks today but there are just too many experts to keep me awake.fftobed:
