Thank you for this, the thanks button just wasn't enough! I thought Dr. D did just fine with that question. Of course you can't completely leave your feelings at the door when you are dealing with people's pain on a daily basis. But she absolutely convinced me that she takes no bias into her evaluations.
It was another low blow by the DT IMO. A "you called our experts out, so we're giving you a dose of your own medicine" tactic, which they seem to fall back on regularly. Remember when Willmott pointedly said to ALV "let's get this out of the way, do you have any problems with your memory", and the DT had a big giggle over it? How childish. It pains me that Nurmi actually said in the mistrial hearings something to the effect of "this isn't second grade, it's a courtroom". I think he should have been doing some soul searching before he said that, and Willmott should have been doing some of her own. I sincerely hope that their behavior in the courtroom is not the norm. I would hope that educated attorneys can act like grownups, especially when a person's life is at stake. I have not seen them conduct themselves accordingly throughout this entire trial.
