This sur-rebuttal is concerning me for a few reasons.
First it probably should not have even been granted.
Secondly, I think the DT is going to try to use this witness to try to derail this trial. The DT has to know by now the trial is not going well based on jury questions. I think they are going to try to fillebuster and drag this witness on for days and days like they did with Jodi and ALV. I just dont see how this time limit is going to be enforced. The DT can just keep on asking question after question. I just have a bad feeling about this and I hope I am wrong.
Thirdly, The jury has to be confused about this. They know the DT already had their chance with witnesses. So they will be wondering what this is all about and how this happened. I hope the judge explains why the DT gets to bring on another witness after they already had their chance the first time. If she does not explain it well to the jury, they may think something is up with the PA case for it to be allowed.
I hope I am wrong and hope it goes quick and hope it does not hurt the states case.
Remain calm friend. The judge limited this testimony of the next witness by putting a clock on it. He is not going to begin with.... It all started when she was a baby......
I believe he is going to be permitted to narrowly rebut Dr. DeMarte's testing or her interpretation of the testing. He may opine or interpret the test results himself, based on his experience, etc. That seems to be what he specializes in, coming into court and kibitzing other experts work. Since five years have gone by since the murder, any interview he did with Jodi would be moot at this point, after all of her self help books, and testimony she sat through about how the tests work, etc. The judge likely is only allowing this out of an abundance of caution, for the appeal to not be granted. There is nothing, absolutely nothing Dr. DeMarte testified to that was not in her report that the defense has had for over a year. Therefore, the judge KNOWS they did not suffer any gotcha moment. The fact that she put on clock on the witness tells me she is not happy to even allow it. I do think she will hold the defense to the narrow areas she ruled on in the sealed hearings on this matter.
It will not take long for JM to discredit him. JM will have had a chance to depose him, and we all know how that goes.
Even a cursory Google search pops up the various times he has been thoroughly discredited, even sanctioned by the court in previous trials. JM has access to transcripts of every trial the man has ever testified in, his license history, any complaints filed against him, the very public information that he has given lectures with ALV for YEARS, wrote a forward to her book, advised on a documentary with her , in which the credits refer to ALV , falsely, as a psychologist, etc.
He has lawyers and other psychologists sending him things about the witness that he may use to discredit him. I bet his in box in full. :floorlaugh::floorlaugh:
