Ahhh! I am so nervous. I think the prosecution did a great job. I was very skeptical after day 1 but I think they did a good job of proving the case even with the Eric issue. I know they had a speech expert but I wonder why they decided not to bring in a psychology expert to testify about how the other first responders may have been influenced by the first person who said they heard Eric. I remember last year there was this viral meme where people were hearing the same sound clip to say "Yanny" or "Laurel" and once someone told you what you were supposed to hear you would hear that. Here is an explainer article if you didn't see this last year. The power of suggestion has been so widely studied I would have thought maybe it would be addressed. We Made a Tool So You Can Hear Both Yanny and Laurel
I did not follow the pre-trial motions so maybe the judge ruled that type of expert testimony as irrelevant. I don't know.
