Re:
Agree and it really is the principle of the thing. Where will it ever end? When this new one gets slammed by Juan, will they be granted a 3rd and a 4th new "expert".
See, it is the principle of it too that is important. IMO if there is no legal basis to grant this wish, then the judge should say NO and stay firm to her decisions and make a good decision that will stick up to any appeals.
There should be no granting of defense wishes just because the judge is afraid of appeals. So long as her decisions are sound, there should not be a problem. They are going to appeal regardless, so there is no need to bend for sillly reasons if the reasons are not valid.
But like Eiglarsh said tonight, we DO NOT want them to do a re-trial.
