2011.06.18 TRIAL Day Twenty-two (Morning Session Only)

[Salem]

I am very frustrated with scientists that ask me to ignore my own common sense and believe what they are telling me, without giving me some kind of scientific principle to base the knowlege on.

We all have common knowledge. We know that generally speaking, what goes up, must come down. The hair would slide to the lowest position as it was released from the scalp. This is gravity. Easy. And then WS tells us it would not. But he gives us no reason why. No reason to leave our common knowledge behind and believe what he says. Why didn't the hair slide to the lowest position? What kept the hair attached to the top of the scalp?

I'm not buying it. It may be a minor point - but I don't like being asked to put aside what "I know" to accept some presumption there is no scientific principle for, or that the scientist thinks I wouldn't understand - so I should just trust him. Frustration.

And ICA is ...... I can't say - 'Beach will get me LOL

Dr. Spitz = FAIL for the DT

 

[strawberry]

Good point! If skull was on side would have to pick it up to put duct tape on it, and mandible would have stayed put!

 

[Mountain_Kat]

Every comment I made about my reasons for doubting this witness is now being covered by JA.

I hope it's the same for this jury.

 

[pinkfly]

I do wish JA would ask about the 3 autopsies a day and still all this time to write, testify, teach and travel.

 

[Sleuth5]

huh, the duct tape was put on to keep the mandible in place? Is that his theory?

IMO

Yes, apparently he believes someone wanted to rig it for use as a Halloween decoration, something like that.

 

[Jaboom97]

He has a roll in his office--maybe he has the henkel tape...lol

 

[Snaz]

I hope the jury can see how deliberately evasive and misleading Dr. Spitz is being!

 

[WillenFan21]

Big blow to the defense right here. Lol

 

[Harmony 2]

Casey really gets freaked out by skulls, appears to the point of phobia. I wonder why. Perhaps I should send her some skull stickers. This case has made me mean! lol

I hope the jury sees all the photos of skulls she had in her photobucket account that she uploaded after Caylee went missing... It is all an act for in front of the jury IMO

 

[coloradoteacher]

If RK kicked the bag and the Skull rolled out how were the roots growing thru it wouldnt the roots hold it to the ground? Or were roots just tangled in it?
Im confused.

This has been a very disputed fact- RK kicking the skull that is.

 

[Wholehearted]

JA keeps referring to this hypothetical person handling the skull as a he. I wish he'd use she, just in case there are any jurors who are buying DT's theory.

 

[burningsky22]

lmao so the person who moved the body knew to bring duct tape because they were going to move the body. so the lay person happened to know the skull would fall apart and they were able to put it back together like a puzzle

 

[Plumeria5]

Poor JA. I am afraid he is going to have a headache after this cross examination. :banghead:

 

[Serjen]

So someone found the skeletonized body in the trash dump woods, picked up the skull and mandible and took 3 pieces of tape to replace the mandible and then put it back and go about there merry way? Seriously? Is this what the DT has got?

 

[GolferChick]

Show him the picture Jeff!!

 

[Kimster]

He doesn't remember a picture that shows the tape on both sides!

:thud:

 

[Woe.be.gone]

Leonard P has this family peged to a tee!!!! he knows what they do for a camera.


he knows the drama and how they act.... and i believe him!

Except LP believes GA when he plays dumb.

 

[Solomisskitty]

I don't see how JA is being harrassing or detroying the Doctor. I think the good Doctor is doing that all by himself. He is being fiesty and almost beligerent without any provocation. He also is so back and forth and wishy washy and at some points making no sense at all... that is not JA's fault.

ITA! JA making sure Spitz earns his pay!

 

[Chiquita71]

I hope the jury sees all the photos of skulls she had in her photobucket account that she uploaded after Caylee went missing... It is all an act for in front of the jury IMO

:tyou: Harmony :yes:

LDB: please now show those pictures. I want the jury to see the real relationship Casey has with SKELETONS.
