Sounds like Vincent may be leading up to Vass sometime next week?

i really hate to say this, but i think the jury may disregard the banding issue

not that that will matter

in the end

imo

That's fine. There is a lot more evidence.

 

[Aedrys]

So why was Karen Lowe on the stand for HOURS? Was there a million and one sidebars or something? I read about the jury being in and out like pop tarts today? How ridiculous! And oh my, we're going to talk about the air sample now...

 

[Jada85]

Hi everyone, been lurking on WS for awhile but have never posted and just recently got caught up in this trial.

I hate to go back to the hair with the band since we are on a new witness, but could they test that hair to see if it had chlorine absorbed in it? Assuming thats possible. I feel like I've asked a dumb question hehe.

 

[Tuffy]

The air sample was shipped to Oak Ridge Laboratory.

LDB: different types samples from car
MV: tests for blood and air samples
LDB: pieces from trunk
MV: stain from carpet
LDB: air samples from the trunk - begin on July 21, 2008
---yes---

MV:explaining how air samples were collected - 1st tried syringe without opening trunk - then opened trunk (slightly) used syringe - then put filter and closed trunk to see if filter absorbed the air

 

[Aedrys]

Ooh, does this mean Dr. Vass is next?

 

[Softail]

The can of air!

 

[Nali87]

Linda is so confident and reassuring. I feel my blood pressure lowering.

 

[dog.gone.cute]

You could possibly find hair in mine because I put my bags in there when I travel --which includes curing iron, hair brush etc.

Yes, and I just edited my post above to say that if there was hair found in my trunk it would NOT have the "DEATH BANDING" on it because I am here reading and typing on WS ...

 

[GreenTeam]

The can of air!

No it's a sample from the tire cover I believe.

 

[GiantPickle]

:waitasec:

I hope this does NOT sound "crazy" but if I went and checked the "Trunk" of my car right now, I do NOT think I would find ONE HAIR FROM MY HEAD in the TRUNk !

I might find some specks of dirt and but there would be NO HAIR ...

I hope that made sense ...
:banghead:


ETA: IF .. a BIG IF ... there was a hair in my trunk -- it would have no "death banding" on it because I am still here reading and typing away on WS ...

This is "common sense" JB ... COMMON SENSE ...

I think a hair being in the trunk could happen - if you're the type of person to throw your gym clothes, a hat you wear at the park, etc in the back...it would make sense to find hairs. But if you're dead, you aren't doing any of the above.

I wouldn't be surprised to find hair in the trunk - hair on our clothing could easily fall into the trunk when opening/closing/putting things into the trunk. But hair with decomp is a whole nother problem.

Vincent showing jury can sample taken 7/22/08 shipped to Oakridge Lab

 

[Tipstaff]

This witness is experienced and intelligent!
(sorry, I didn't hear his name)

ETA~ He is Mike Vincent with OSCO

Yes but in 1968 he may have failed a science exam and so JB will attempt to disqualify him.:banghead:

 

[Mountain_Kat]

I lied...just one comment:

If the state opens those canisters for the jury to smell, and it's horrific, I think that is definitely going to sway the jury wrt JB's theory that air quality testing is "junk science".
