2011.04.08 Frye Hearing Thread

[sleutherontheside]

Right out of the gate....LDB corrects JB's date of March 2009 as being SEPTEMBER 2009.

AND....that the handlers and dogs were properly trained according to the defense expert Furton.

 

[Softail]

LDB - The credibility of Forgey is not the issue. The issue is if the handler or the dog have been appropriately trained.

 

[ShadowGal]

LDB: The issue before the court is NOT the credibility of Forgey

 

[sassy_texasbelle2]

wait a minute - we are shedding DNA - skin cells!

But not decomp skin cells...

JA said there is no DNA in decomp.

HHBP leans in as Linda begins her counter. Love it.

Yes, he displays a true interest in what she is saying...it's intelligent and law based speech rather than unintelligible jibberish.

 

[sleutherontheside]

LDB schooling JB on the particulars of the other cases. Judge actually nodded slightly.

 

[doogiesgirl]

Wait, what?

JB: "whether decomposition is from a live or dead..."


:floorlaugh::floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

Yes we heard this correctly....JB does not know what he's talking about.

Thank God LDB is up....she speaks in full sentences.

okay, I'm out for the day. Good luck with the rest of the hearings - "sanity now"

I do feel the Linda will wipe the floor with Baez, so professional and articulate.

 

[FaerieB]

JA said there is no DNA in decomp.

He said there's no DNA in decomp fluid. There would still be DNA in the cells.

 

[ZsaZsa]

LDB gets up and clarifies what the Ramos case was all about. Nothing to do with cadaver dogs. What is before the court is not Officer Forgey's credibility, but whether the dog and handler were appropriately trained. Cadaver dogs alerts are widely accepted in Courts and have a history of reliability, for example after 9/11.
She is demolishing JB point by point...

Mason told me we would finish before lunch. At this rate, I'm not confident. Still have heart sticker and exclude smell.

Did Mason know about the PP's???

:bowdown: LDB!

 

[tsitra01]

She is being so on point. Excellent argument. No wasted words. Handlers appropriately trained and dogs and agreed by the
DT's own expert.

 

[Softail]

LDB - Case law in florida requires that the dog and the handler are appropriately trained. In this case the dogs and the handlers were trained appropriately.

 

[nursebeeme]

LDB driving home the point that the defense witness dr furton helped the state (that the dogs and handler were trained)

 

[logicalgirl]

LDB: Defense experts agree the dog and the handler are appropriately trained. This is where this inquiry ends, but the court can look at additional cases for more information - do the dogs have a reliable performance history.

 

[nursebeeme]

casey about to dig into accordian file....

Teen is due up any minute, and I've been up since 4AM. Think I'll run off to Starbucks and get us both coffees. Although I am enjoying Linda's very thorough argument. Curious why JB is no longer sitting next to ICA. Trouble in paradise. Keep writing that letter ICA - maybe you can get it to the judge before the end of the day.

MOO

KC just asked WS to hand her some files. She pointed at the file and asked a question, then he got up and brought her a binder.
