I heard something about a Rule 702.... by the Judge...

does that mean anything to anyone?

:dunno:

RULE 702. TESTIMONY BY EXPERT WITNESSES

A witness who is qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education may testify in the form of an opinion or otherwise if:

(a) the expert’s scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge will help the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue;

(b) the testimony is based on sufficient facts or data;

(c) the testimony is the product of reliable principles and methods; and

(d) the expert has reliably applied the principles and methods to the facts of the case.
 
Every time I turn on the computer and see the news exactly that goes through my head. Every single time - WTF is wrong with people?!?

I ask myself every damn day WTF is wrong with people. I have yet to find an answer.
 
No no no...net yet. She will rule after reviewing some thongs and when court is back in public session
hta

I sincerely hope Judge Stephens isn't reviewing counsel in thongs right now. I only left for 30 minutes!
 
OT but just heard from Boston CBS affiliate that Dr's@ Mass General state effective amputations from injuries..
 
Does the DT have any other witnesses? Would Juan's rebuttal start today if we ever get back in court?
 
Yes, she had to "review comments on 704", whatever that means.

Did she say 704? Or was it 702??????

It would be Federal Evidence Rule 704 but she might have also said 702. 702 goes hand in hand with the Daubert standard.
 
I just wanted to let you know that you're not going to miss a thing. We're going to hit the pause button so you don't miss any action.

When we come back from break we're going to hit the play button and allow 2 mins of testimony to play and then hit the pause button again. Don't worry though because you're not going to miss anything....WE PROMISE.


I call BS on that! I was watching HLN, and reading here, so I was waiting on the judge to kick Jodi out of the jury box. I never saw that happen. When they returned from a break, she was just magically gone. No explanation as to how that happened, either.
 
It is kinda "iornic" that defense goes down this road calling Juan unprofessional when the defense and their experts have personified unprofessional.

Wilmott's giggling, smirking and shaking her head, Jodi drawing, Nurmi slouched in his chair, the whisper/kisses between Jodi and Wilmott or mitigation specialist, the combative and rude witnesses, at least one of the LaViolette fan club in the gallery throwing her head back and laughing loudly at one of LaViolette's rudest remarks, Jodi's minion tweeting for her, LaViolette hugging Nurmi on camera, LaViolette "forgetting" to stand for the jury after being baraged with their questions indicating they doubt her credibility. I could go on and on . . .
 
Judge said she didn't care which day ALV showed up....guess today was better. Good. Get this carp over with and move on with the actual trial:great:
Justice for Travis.
Spankings for the "Delaying Duo".....

:moo:

She said they would contact her today and let her know if she is to show tomorrow
 
I think the eye testimony would be a huge backfire -- basically the defense is asking the jury to take Travis' "testimony" via his eye to save Defendant's arse. Uhm no. And if that guy gets up there and says "dead pixels" a bunch of times, that isn't going to help.
 
Rule 702. Testimony by Experts

If scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge will assist the trier of
fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue, a witness
qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education,
may testify thereto in the form of an opinion or otherwise.

How can his opinion determine a fact in issue, regardless of his qualifications? Drawing a stick person on an eyeball by joining some white blobs is purely subjective!!

Now we have Merlin the Magician to add to our cast of characters.

I thought I heard the judge says he had 1PM set aside for the ALV issue. So I took that to mean that LV decided to show up today. Hope they got that over with. Good riddance.
 
That guy is an :nevermind:

Travis' family has a right under law to be there, since their brother was brutally murdered by her.

He's had an axe to grind with Juan since the very beginning. :furious: From his report on the Hughes emails, to his article about ALV being abused by the media, he is clearly bias. Pass the box of salt please...

He can't be pleased, that all the hoopla he's put out there, to get a rise out of the public and to get a mistrial has been :denied::denied:

Someone said he's a has been...I think that was an understatement! :facepalm:
 
I wonder what those who saw 2 ninjas or Jodi holding gun/knife in the screenshot of a printed photo projected onto a screen are thinking?

702 sounds correct. But I could be wrong :blushing:
