This has escalated quickly into confrontation.
Not a good look.

Defense doesn’t have much going for themselves as it is. I feel prosecution should take the high road here and let Dr. Lewis’s testimony be heard and its validity or, more likely, the lack thereof will speak for itself.

But she needs to remember the ‘5 B’s’:

Be brief, brother, be brief.
 
I’m all for letting our elders tell their stories. My husband’s granddad could talk your ears off. But the witness stand is not the place. Reel her in!!

This. I too not only appreciate but also love listening to reminiscing elders. However, when the individual in question is taking the stand in a high profile murder trial it's less than helpful. This is compounded by the fact that the witness is supposed to be providing expert opinion based on research & psychological theorems.
Long, tortuous anecdotal testimony is more likely to harm the defence than assist them.
IMO.
