2011.04.01 Frye Hearing (DISCUSSION THREAD) - PM edition

[Chiquita71]

IMO this defense wit is stuttering more when responding to JA... not in a "how can I rephrase this" way but more in a "uh, ah, oh dear these are real questions" way...

:wave: ynotdivein

In no way speaking if this gentleman has any type of personal or physical issue: but he is more than studdering and stammering.

It is like a movie. This man is very intimidated by JA. As he should be. IMHO.

JA: in fact, you have never been personally involved in a study on a full body decomp.
no but my group has.

you have studied what a cadaver dog smells not a whole body does, correct?
(something)

please read back my question I don't think the witness understood the question. did I say the word :buried?

But you would agree the compounds given off by an entire body are different than parts?
That's likely, yes.

 

[mommy2]

JA: Could I have the court reporter read back my question?

(Court reporter with AWESOME hair reads back question.)

Did you understand the question this time?

:great:

 

[TiaM]

This witness comes across as much as a "back-talker" and "smart alec" as JB.....

 

[mitzi]

what is mr (dr?) furton a specialist in?

Not much.

 

[JSR]

This [unusual person] is scared stiff of JA!

I would too, if I were him.

 

[sleutherontheside]

JA just got this witness to say adipose tissue...Does JB realize that????????

He got him to say it several times.

AND.....he got him to state that the SAME substances used by LE training was used in the study he is referencing.

So the comparison is apples and oranges. Trying to say that the compounds don't match.

 

[TigerBalm]

Apparently the Defense expert "jack-of-all-trades". Seriously. I am lost on all this man is supposedly an expert on. Chloroform, Decomp AND Cadaver dogs, I think...

There is a name for an expert like this ... coincidentally it rhymes with BORE

 

[logicalgirl]

This witness + JA equals Mincemeat.

Sorry to not be posting more details - this is technical and much scientific jargon being tossed back and forth quickly - impossible for a layman for me to both listen and feed back.

 

[21merc7]

Kenneth Furton - Defense witness

Thank you! Bumping.

 

[sleutherontheside]

what is mr (dr?) furton a specialist in?

From what I can see.....NOTHING.

 

[21merc7]

OH HOLY H*CK, much of his CV is from STUDENTS RESEARCH!!!!

 

[LolaMoon08]

I agree... this guy does not come off nearly as educated as Dr. Vass.

Jeff needs to remain calm. I want him to save those $100 dollar bills for the Stain motion.

 

[snowshuze]

Students work, with his name on it.

 

[jon_burrows]

Go JA...way to channel your energy and ignore JB's antics. Rise above friend!

I was thinking the same thing!

 

[TiaM]

Ohhhh Joypath - you nailed it.

This guy is proudly trying to take credit for all of his students' research!!!

(Until it comes back to bite him in the behind I'm betting)

 

[BigFatMommyDog]

gently JA, gently gently

 

[21merc7]

Back to supervising cadaver dogs....

 

[kpalma715]

Go JA!!! Loving this!!!

 

[sleutherontheside]

JA is so quick on his feet I need a neck brace.

Does the witness box come with a vomit bag???? This guy may need one.

 

[jharres]

JA: What personal work have you done (etc...)
DF: I was there with the students....
