I think the state did the depo yesterday, it was halted and defense withdrew Danzinger today. So what he said must have been painful... or totally UNUSABLE by the defense (as in.... being molested by a family member imo).
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
BUT....she has not been diagnosed with it by even the defense psychiatrists.
Anyone know when HHJP will be ruling on the Frye hearings?
Remember how Danziger evaluated her in the beginning back in 2008? Wonder if she said something to him then that the SA office manage to dig up in the depo and it was too prejudicial/too damning to the defense - meaning ICA slipped up somehow?
You could very well be spot on with that! It might be the reason HHJP is so...er, antimated while talking to them. And then they went into chambers?? That is weird...
My take........the DT wanted to argue trauma related to sexual abuse. Without KC herself saying there was abuse (she would have to say it in court) the doc was going to be needed to slide it in there.
Both the DT and the SA called the Judge during the depo....so neither side were happy about how it was going.
Now...the doc is off the list, and though HHJP was demanding an answer as to what the expert would be testifying to, we are now in recess and likely a private meeting is being held.
IMO the only explanation is they are trying to use the sexual abuse and are stuck behind those darn pesky laws that prevent it.
