I like this judge!

Is this defense attorney claiming that this witness is not qualified as an expert in the field of cellular technology, simple because he's not had a published article in a journal?

Definitely dripping with desperation - if that’s the best they have to knock down this witness, they don’t have much.

I think he's trying to do that and also trying to say that the "peers" who "peer reviewed" his work were unqualified. I think he's trying to limit expert testimony.

Defense attorney Greg McCollum challenges the qualification of an expert. Judge overrules and qualifies him as expert in cellular technology and historical records analysis.

There's a debate about whether a report regarding the witness was turned over to the defense, and whether it needed to be turned over. Judge has ordered a 10 minute recess while they sort things out.

I asked this years ago but can’t remember the answer - can anyone tell me what kind of an area this is? Like suburban, middle class? Or varied?

I ask because I cannot fathom how they’d suggest anyone else just happened to come across heather at the PTL in that tiny timeframe, it doesn’t appear to be a city-like atmosphere with walking and driving traffic even in middle of the night. I’m in Chicago and even in the most well-trafficked areas, you couldn’t assume someone would pop up upon Heather in that minute or two.

“On Tuesday, prosecutors claimed that Tammy Moorer was in a “fire of jealousy” when she found out the affair and possible pregnancy. Sidney, meanwhile, was “willing to do anything to please [Tammy],” prosecutors said. “This is where the conspiracy starts.”

I do think it's weird the expert didn't know what peer-reviewed meant. Seems like someone with a Master's Degree would know what that is, but maybe it's different for techy stuff.

Here's a FB feed if anyone would rather watch it on FB

The area of PTL is sparsely populated. Peachtree Rd. ends at PTL. Overlooking the landing is a handful of trailers, but even those are blocked by a line of trees. Otherwise, the area is mostly wetlands. Google Maps has street view of the landing. Sorry, I haven't mastered links and images on this new platform, but you can just google "peachtree landing" and it will show up on the map. HTH.

Edited to add link. Hopefully it works.

They are back and still arguing ...prosecutor admits that she didn't disclose this summary report to the defendant, but that she did disclose all the info that is contained in the report (4 years ago).

I do like how this judge actually allows Ms. Livesay speak without interrupting ..

 

[2Hope4]

The theory of something happening to Heather at LongBeards makes sense to me. MOre sense than Heather being at PeachTree Landing, though as I said, I think she COULD have met SM there and willingly gotten into his vehicle, where TM was hiding waiting on her. But I can see how SM could have driven Heather's car there. I so wish someone would grow a conscious and tell what happened.

Me too, even though she says the same things repeatedly.

 

[2Hope4]

Why all the objection over the cell phone information? Must be something the defense really does NOT want said! Which goes along with the FB posts from the probably TM.....

 

[Surfside]

We're about to take another break so the Defense can compare the 2 reports.

 

[Sun]

Sounds like the defense didn't hire their own expert to tell them what the discovery shows, and that they also didn't ask the prosecutor for any reports that would show them either.

I'm not sure that it's the job of the prosecutor to show the defense what the discovery means.

A break in testimony while the defense and state argue whether a piece of evidence should be admissible. We're taking a short break while the two parties look over documents to ensure its the same information previously introduced.
