DSimms: expert testimony should be that, your honor...expert when someone's life is on the line.

HH: are you going to comment on the new york case?

DSimms: no

I may be wrong, but, I don't think DS understand what a Frye hearing means...

You are 100% correct! She has no basic understanding for why she is even talking right now. Judge Perry continues to interrupt her and ask he questions that pertain to Frye. I will say that at least he is helping her along. I wouldn't be so forgiving.

I agree, which is why His Honor seems to not want to teach her today...maybe that's why he appears to be in a bad move...His Honor is a walking law library....I think the defense is trying too hard to get all prejudical evidence away from her client...

He's probably given up! He's already tried a few times>>>

DS saying expert evidence needs experts, lol!

We know that, but where are the experts for them?

 

[Softail]

Judge - Does any US Supreme Court, any Federal Court or Florida Supreme Court, disallow testimony dealing with hair comparison?

DCS - A Florida case allows hair comparison, but this is not hair comparison. This is an allegation of decomp, not just comparison. I am not aware of a case.

Judge - What about the NY case?

DCS - Yes it was admitted there.

Everyone seems to be out of steam this morning... wonder how the depo went yesterday :waitasec:

 

[sleutherontheside]

This last lie is why we allow defense experts to examine evidence.

 

[Chiquita71]

JA: this is all nice argument but has nothing to do with a legal standard. There is an artifact of darkening band, noted in literature since 1998, the concept is generally accepted. Motion should be denied.

 

[kaRN]

JA used the word proximal correctly. WOOHOO

 

[nursebeeme]

JA saying that this science has been in use since 1988

((not. new.))

 

[sleutherontheside]

JA....saving his words for trial. They'd be wasted before.

Well done JA....keeping it cool and calm. Well done.

 

[doogiesgirl]

JA : All this PP has nothing to do with the admissability of the evidence. The motion should be denied.

And with that JA is back in his seat.

moo

 

[MD MOMMY]

JA cracks me up. He takes 5 minutes to get his point across. The jury is going to LOVE him.

 

[logicalgirl]

LOL - I am definitely on a slow feed - I can see my fellow posters telling me what has been said before I hear it on the media site.

 

[nursebeeme]
