Anyone? I don't understand what this "residue" business is about?
That the sediment Dr. Spitz testified about being brain dust was not.

I would give anything to know what ICA is really thinking right about now...
They don't need to. It's plain as day.

JB came close to a homerun. He will get it on surrebuttal. Saline wash is not a good technique but he had to do it because he didn't open skull. Supports Dr. Spitz' assertion that autopsy was shoddy.
DIRECT EXAMINATION OF BRUCE GOLDBERGER BY JA
He is professor and director of toxicology at University of Florida.
BA in zoology and MS and phD in forensic toxicology. The majority of his work is medical-legal.
He tests bodily fluids for the presence of volatile substances.
He was contacted by Dr. G in 2008 in reference to Caylee's remains. He came to Orlando and took samples which included a small piece of the left femur, some marrow of the left femur, they prepared two saline washes from the cranial cavity, hair samples, hair mat samples...
OBJECTION
SIDEBAR - 2:54-2:55
strands of hair, some matted hair and soil from the matted hair.
The cranial washes - in the autopsy room, they sealed the sutures of the cranium with a waxy material then added 30 ml of saline to the cranium then they poured the saline into tubes. They did this twice.
After analysis - they did not find that any of the residue was decomposition product.
CROSS EXAMINATION BY JB
Did you say you collected something from the femur?
OBJECTION
Yes.
SIDEBAR (2:58-3:00)
He collected bone marrow.
When he did the saline wash, was it a crude type method? It is a technique he has used a number of times. It's crude, but it is what it is. It is the best way he could do it without opening the skull.
Products of decomp - a number of chemicals. They were not tested for DNA. The chemicals they look for don't have DNA - low molecular weight compounds.
He is not a DNA analyst. He did not send the samples for DNA?
OBJECTION - SUSTAINED
He returned the samples to the ME in Orlando.
Witness excused.
All of us at Gentiva worked together in a work sharing program. We gave each other our passwords and covered for each other on a regular basis. If we had to leave the office for some personal business we just got someone to cover. We were all salaried and our manager knew what we were doing. That is why I enjoyed working there so much.
I'm an RN with about six different username/passwords for various computer programs at my job. I've been a nurse for twenty years, and in the last fifteen, I've used computers every day in my work. Not one single time, EVER, have I shared my password or even been ASKED by another nurse to know his/her password or share it. And I am the type of person folks consider nonjudgmental and maybe an easy "mark".
People that DO do it would never admit it in a court of law or even to each other for gawd's sake. And no one would come behind them and admit they were part of it even if they were. This is almost on the level of diverting narcotics for personal use.
Raise your hand if you said Oh Chit out loud.
Awwwwww....poor wittle KC looks so sad.
I would give anything to know what ICA is really thinking right about now...she's looking pretty pale to me...
