From Mr. Sheaffer:

BillSheafferWFTV:
Some documents that are otherwise admissible can be admitted if they are kept in the ordinary course of ones business. The business records exception to the hearsay rule.

 

[Truth Prevails]

The jury has left the courtroom and they are going through the documents individually , deciding if each one is admissible or not.

It seems that to be admissible they have to have been pertinent to her treatment of the defendant.

 

[CarolinaMoon]

This lady is not at doctor, rather a nurse practitioner. Why did the judge refer her as Dr.?

 

[Truth Prevails]

Judge Perry had other business to attend to and had to step out for about 10 minutes or so.

 

[zoey]

but doesn't Baker only permit someone to be held for 3 days or so for evaluation?

and the person may leave after the set hold time?

If deemed safe

 

[Truth Prevails]

Finally, the jury is coming back and they have settled which of the documents will be allowed in.

 

[Truth Prevails]

This lady is not at doctor, rather a nurse practitioner. Why did the judge refer her as Dr.?

There is our answer--she has her PhD in clinical counseling.

 

[Truth Prevails]

It seems like she treated him from 2004 to 2007; and in 2007, the defendant was suffering from psychotic symptoms.

According to this witness - Dr. Pizarro. (Nurse Practitioner)

My feed appears froze on WFTV and also WAT. I tried WESH, but their local news is playing.

 

[Truth Prevails]

Mr. Sheaffer agrees.

Feed is frozen

 

[Truth Prevails]

Back up for now!

 

[Truth Prevails]

This is an interesting observation from Mr. Sheaffer:

BillSheafferWFTV:
I am thinking more that this is the best witness they could find. Remember she was treating the Defendant long before the shooting , way before PD was representing him

.

 

[Truth Prevails]

No cross from Linda? I'm surprised!

All done for the day. The jury will return tomorrow at 9:25 am for a 9:30 am start.

Orlando Sentinel | Defense expert: Downtown Orlando shooter thought victims 'posed a threat'
Jason Rodriguez is charged with murder in the Gateway Center shootings in downtown Orlando.
By Jeff Weiner, Orlando Sentinel | 6:32 p.m. EST, November 12, 2013

When Jason Rodriguez opened fire inside the downtown Orlando offices of his former employer in 2009, he was under the delusional belief that they were part of a conspiracy to harm him and his family, an expert for his defense testified Tuesday.

Whether Rodriguez was legally sane at the time of the spree at Reynolds, Smith & Hills is the crux of his murder trial. The state rested Tuesday after several days' testimony in which witness after witness identified him as the gunman.
