2011.06.06 TRIAL Day Eleven (Morning Session)

[Gma Kat]

I have a question? Was there any testimony so far that suggested that Casey could have possibly vacuumed the car that day when she had it backed into the carport and that is why there was so little hair present?

They collected the family's vacuum iirc just in case?

 

[Nali87]

Has any of JB objections got through on this witness?

Sorry listening while at work.

I don't think so, no.

 

[scandi]

Good Morning, There is no coverage on HLN this morning. Does anyone know why?

Chromatogram from ICA's car trunk. Tallest peak = chloroform.

 

[Jetaime]

#caseyanthonytrial Multiple jurors noted chloroform finding. Casey just staring.

All the jurors are turned and facing Vass. Staring at him while he testifies. #CaseyAnthony -fell

 

[Sleuths4Me]

I expect JB to stand and say "second verse, same as the first" LOL

:floorlaugh:

 

[hannahsnana]

Casey is peering at the screen of graphs with her nose in the air (trying to appear intellectual).

ETA: Poor thing is sooooooo bored.

JA w/Dr Vass

2 high peaks.....highest was chloroform....chloroform is a decomp event compound in human decomp......reason we progressed was the result of chloroform shockingly high.... (object-overrule).....small peaks noted....tried to concentrate air sample.....used cryotrapping to concentrate....present w/Dr. Wise while analysis being done....removed piece of carpet from metal can....not sure if air in can was representative (object-ovrrule) what coming off the carpet....placed carpet in plastic tevlar bag- polyvinyl bag....placed carpet in bag and incubated it @ body temp....tevlar bag won't change sample.....incubate it because carpet sample came from trunk of car in FL anticipated quite warm - high 90's close to 100 degrees in trunk in FL, speeds up evolution of these compounds...estimated 2 days in analysis....

take air sample of bag - from that bag extrated 10 ml, thru cryo....to trap.....

identify sample not concentrated - present for all the post analysis......JB- almost everyone...(object-overrule)

51 indiv. chemical components out of 10 mil extracted from tevlar bag - chloroform present.....GCMS - chromatogram.....large peaks and tall peaks ...much more concentrated amount of material vs. small peak.....

largest peak called base peak ....base peakwas chloroform.....surprised? Shocked! never seen chloroform in those levels in 20 years......in human decomp have seen chloroform in parts per trillion ...very very small amounts.


attempt to quantify amount of chloroform - shot a standard - an analite.....chloroform ....to ensure it was chloroform....concentration of standard is known......rough approx. of (object- speculation - ovrrule)

chloroform was in the parts per Million range vs. Trillion range..


attempt to quantify.....need to purchase much more concentrated standards.....not more helpful to further test @ minimum........chloroform high rate of evap. much like gas.....(object-ovrrule) appears in top trunk first, @ tow yard, lower range in A' garage....lower in OCSO garage.......minimum range....


obtain a standard of the carpet from similar vehicle......

GCMS from control carpet and A's carpet.....enter demonstrative chart.....object-not testified to how obtained...who conducted test and reliabiitly...HHBP who conducted test ...both Dr. Wise and Dr. Vass conducted = HHBP data you reasonably rely upon for data in this case? Yes......Admitted into evidence

output of actual GCMS - which peak represents chloroform = tallest peak - @ 16 min.....(appears to go off the chart?) numbers @ left = abundance - rough approx. of how much material is present......top number 16 million in terms rough estimate how tall that peak......above 16millionish range.....sample from carpet from vehicle in this case.....also show other peaks....region @ lower right side compounds associated with gasoline....dozens of components ......benzy

 

[PalmettoGirl]

Dr. Vass indicating the region associated with gasoline.

 

[camcneishg]

actually, I think JB means to say "objection, witness is testifying outside MY area of expertise"

 

[eaglemom]

chloroform 16 million (peak in graph)
Dr. Vass also marks region of smaller peaks to left of chloroform that is associated w/ compounds in gas

 

[dunlurken]

Admitted into evidence.

The Gatorade bottle? And the syringe that had testosterone in it as well?

 

[LiveLaughLuv]

I object, this lawyer, JB is trying this case outside his area of expertise.

:floorlaugh:

 

[Tulessa]

DT looking defeated. That's the only way I can describe it.

 

[Gma Kat]

Good Morning, There is no coverage on HLN this morning. Does anyone know why?

In Session covers it in California until 12pm our time and then HLN starts their coverage...............hope this helps.

Saturday coverage is only on HLN....

 

[JSR]

Really and truly JB needs to stop pouting at the DT table. He's going to lose the jury with his behavior this morning. It's not in the best interests of his client for him to be acting like this.

 

[MissDiva]

I think I say this almost every day, but this is the most powerful witness we've heard testify to date, IMO.

Ha, since I say that almost every day, it shows the State really knows how to build their case.

 

[CarolinaWoman]

Dr. Vass is turning and speaking to the jury when talking about test results and explaining chromatagraphs...

I noticed that all of the law officers and forensic people speak to the jury when testifying. Last week JB even made the statement to one witness replying to the jury, I am over here.

 

[Broderick]

actually, I think JB means to say "objection, witness is testifying outside MY area of expertise"

Got a chuckle out of this post, in what is quite serious testimony.
