I think DT's objection was because JA included the portion 'Now assume the woman killed her own child." It's magical thinking on the part of DT that this is now NOT in evidence! Plenty of evidence from which to draw that conclusion. JA is brilliant.

That raises a good point. Did she ever say she was a member of ANY professional board connected with her area of supposed expertise in grief?

I learned RK was in the Coast Guard. (Didn't watch minute by minute yesterday. Maybe it came out then, and I missed it.)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is special recess Jurror smoke break?
