RBBM, "no hard k sound at end."
"eis" the word Tellis without the ability to move the tongue for the T or the L. "E - is" with a hard breath at the end and no ability to pronounce the "s" either. "E-I" = Eh-short I sound.
No need to answer last name either cuz she already said it. Get that darn speech pathologist back on the stand and have her demonstrate it for gosh sakes!!!!
RBBM.
She was TELLING this guy they got it wrong; that she wasn't saying "Eric". That prosecutor has to do something with this and that speech pathologist.
I agree with you- she wasn't saying "Eric". I believe what the Dr said this afternoon- that she couldn't actually talk and could only make sounds- trying to say "Tellis" and her saying "No" to "Eric".
(from the article I posted:
Dr. William Hickerson testified at length about her condition. At one point, as defense attorney Palmer pressed Hickerson on Chambers' ability to speak given her condition, the exchange became tense.
"She could have made sounds, but not sounds that we would be able to say is speech," Hickerson said.
"Despite what all the other reports have indicated?" Palmer asked.
"I'm just telling you what I see, ma'am," Hickerson responded, later adding: "I'm trying to give you my best opinion. It doesn't change. I'm not trying to be dogmatic with you; I'm trying to be honest. My momma didn't raise no liar." )
