2011.04.01 Frye Hearing (DISCUSSION THREAD) - PM edition

[eaglemom]

Dr. Logan - I have reviewed literature(by Dr. Vass and others) and with my expertise in chemistry and have reviewed such and have developed opinions based on such. I have used gas chromotagraph in tens of thousands of cases

Ok so I thought y'all were just being goofy when y'all said the DT reads here..that was until today when KC is no longer "working" for the DT andddd DCS just said "I'm the one with the bad hair"
I'm convinced they really do read here lol

Excellent catch!!!
:rocker:

 

[21merc7]

LOL or less! given today's market!

Yep, the local crack dealers have a leg up.

 

[USARDOG]

Paraphrased... Do you consider yourself an expert in the bio chemistry of decomposition... No I do not.

Oops, trying to farm off this man as an expert... Has a bachelors degree in chemistry?????

 

[Capri]

Sims seems flustered already

 

[Lera213]

Judge asking witness questions now

 

[QueenD]

Dr has not testified in court regarding human decomp. Not good!

 

[FaerieB]

I just figured out why ICA is appearing to pay close attentin to Dr. Logan. She thinks that's an Irish accent. Silly girl...it's Scottish.

 

[TigerBalm]

Dr. Logan has not testified previously in court as an expert re: human decomp

 

[eaglemom]

HHJBP - Dr what have you qualified in court in respect to human decomposition?
Dr. Logan - I have not

 

[21merc7]

Judge asking the questions again!

 

[joypath]

:twocents: Give JAB & the gang a break....let Dr. Logan "chat" about gc/ms and then challenge him on the SPECIFICS of Dr. Vass' et al studies!

 

[Softail]

Judge - Let me save you some time. When have you testified in court as an expert about human decomposition?

Witness - Never

 

[SeaNymph]

Rut roh, the doctor doesn't even consider himself an expert........

anic:

Sims: Oh, come on, now, surely you are! Chess? Checkers? Anything? Bunko?
(I'm kidding - that wasnt really what she said...!!)
(but I was kinda expecting it to head that way)

Is my sound bad or did I hear JB's a$$ suck a HUGE amount of wind on that one??? :banghead:

 

[ynotdivein]

HHJP forces the witness to admit that he has not qualified to testify about human decomp in court.

 

[Aedrys]

So what I'm seeing is that the best the DT can seem to muster is people who have read others work and formed opinions...

Wow, I just realized Baez is picking opinionated bloggers to be his experts, the very people he continually complains about (every expert could fit bloggers on the internet).

 

[ohiogirl]

Thanks everyone for the lively conversation! See you later.

 

[sleutherontheside]

Jeff wants DCS to show him where the info is stated in the opinion.

 

[Chiquita71]

i have not testified previously about human decomp
the judge says you said something about peaks.

yes.

what about human decomp of human bodies?

well, pigs we used for decomp is easier than getting access to human bodies and letting them decompose so the use of pigs for forensic studies is quite common.

Judge: we don't have a jury here. if we had a jury I would not let him testify. I will let him now and be on cross from JA.

 

[eaglemom]

HHJBP is going to allow because no jury
