2011.06.23 TRIAL Day Twenty-six (Morning Session)

[decemberbee45]

Is he a chemist? :innocent:

I've forgotten!

 

[RammerJammer]

DS AND the witness need to just give it up. Sit down. You're excused.

 

[chasing.halos]

What Caylee should be doing right now...

 

[LyndyLoo]

The witness looks rattled and fearful of answering questions.

I agree..I think has been forced to go off script and doesnt even know how to answer the questions put to him that his is qualified to opine on...This is so sad...DT made a huge error here:maddening:

 

[strach304]

And that folks is how you train your jury. heehee :floorlaugh:

You can clearly see he is sick of objecting himself. I'm sorry but DCS is terrible.

 

[Kenziema]

O.M.G. Get this guy OUT OF HERE!

 

[ami]

Were I DS I'd be in tears right now. The only question she got out of her mouth without an objection was so convoluted the witness couldn't even answer it.

 

[LolaMoon08]

If we notice, JA is winning most of his objections.........I hope this is not lost on the jury. But it's a slippery slope imo, because they may get tired of these side-bars.

Somehow, I do not think the jury will blame JA for that, but the defense for asking questions this witness is not allowed to answer because he is not an established expert in that field.

 

[FaerieB]

ICA is smirking at someone in audience and is then whispering to JA.

*BBM

Now that I would pay to see!

 

[TexasDoll]

DCS is not going anywhere with her line of questioning.

 

[MissJames]

Time to cut bait ! Let's move on.

 

[cleo612]

Jeff Ashton knows his stuff.

Dorothy Sims obviously does not.

 

[turkygurl]

I think it's hysterical that JA isn't even sitting all the way back in his chair. He's perched on the edge because he has to keep standing up and objecting. I keep waiting for DS to just lose it and scream "I KNOW. I KNOW. SUSTAINED!!!)

 

[ohiogirl]

You can tell JA is trying not to be too emphatic in these objections, I am sure he knows the jury is getting fed up. The DT wants this witness to testify to something that he is just not going to be allowed to. They have a dilemma on their hands, jmo.

 

[sleutherontheside]

I expect DCS to say......"OH Nevermind!" in 5....4....3.....2......

 

[Mountain_Kat]

Good lord...JA is a poptart today! :floorlaugh:

 

[logicalgirl]

Is all the note taking she is doing for a book?

Yes I think so , she is writing the book during the trial. (I suspect)

Or maybe she is simply noting the realities of this crime to fill in the blanks for what she thought was real??????? Three years believing one thing and then hearing the truth takes a lot of blank filling, don't you think?

 

[wenwe4]

DS w/Logan after reviewing material any documentation of protection against contamination - no evidence of what might been taken to protect .....protection of evidence quality assurance referenced discussed..object - sustained - overruled can answer if can you can

bench notes cause you concern about manner which test was conducted....object - sustained

DS tries again....

can you define what a blank sample is in your field for using GCMS? - blank sample known not to contain elements you are trying to look for no contamination of the test....what happens if blank sample is run but computer is not changedd.....object- outside expertise....

run blank sample - don't make changes forget 0 and go back....JA object- DS asks appraoch

 

[Talina]

Well...I sure hope no one is playing the drinking game by drinking when an objectionis sustainedduring this testimony. Errr.... wait we're still waiting on the testimony.

 

[Chili Fries]

This could have been an important witness for the defense but so far Sims has screwed it up like nothing I've ever seen before.
