2011.06.18 TRIAL Day Twenty-two (Morning Session Only)

[BigFatMommyDog]

So she was decomposing SOMEWHERE else and then gagged and bagged and transported ?

Backyard?
playhouse? no..



Dr. W.S. Says NO he is not able to tell us what the manner of death is.

CM - finally how many autopsies have you conducted o5 supervised?

60,000. Roughly 60,000 autopsies!!!!!!

practicing the manner of death for 56 years.

10 minute recess.

which would calculate to 2.935 autopsies per day, every day for 56 years

doubt it.

 

[azscr4mbl3r]

I'll buy that for a nickel! Tape that sticks to waxy slimy skin... Yeah and why would you want to put tape on a dead child?

 

[MomCat]

No gloves to do the autopsy? I would think that would be protocol? Seems weird.

It IS protocol.

Just curious...How many of his 60,000 autopsies were without gloves, without accepted standard procedures, etc? Contamination of evidence? Or is he just so good he can perform autopsies any old way. Not a dig on his age but long ago oeople didnt wear gloves, masks, etc.

 

[passionflower]

10 minute recess........JB getting chewed out by HJBP!

 

[mck16]

first question on cross- was dna discovered when you had your formative training?

love it!!!

 

[MissDiva]

Math: 60K autopsies would be 3 a day for 56 years - 365 days per year, 7 days a week.

Plus don't forget all the testimonies he gives.

This man clearly lives in a different space time continuum than we do.

It'd amazing he can do ALL that PLUS travel, teach, eat, sleep, brush his teeth...

That doesn't leave much spare time for duct taping your arm and leaving it in a swamp for six months.

 

[Chiquita71]

Why did this man cut Caylee' skull in half? TIA.

 

[ontariolynn13]

Do most of you feel that Casey knows her time is up, and she is going to her new home forever, or do you think in her mind, she believes that she still might walk, just interested to see what you think, she is hard to read, except for the fact that she is not happy being in court.

 

[uklaw]

I think his explanation for the Duck Tape being applied is ridiculous! Like ICA was worried her jaw would fall off? ICA's motto was "outta site, outta mind" and that's what she did

Well the Defense theory is not that ICA hid the body iirc.

However, I think that is one of his stronger parts of testimony. I must admit I wasn't paying too much attention, I was doing other things. However, his testimony that there would be DNA on the duct tape had it been attached ante mortem, if accepted, blows the Prosecution theory out of the water.

It is going to be interesting to see cross. I have a weird feeling that Ashton will let his temper get the better of him and open to door for the Defense to bring in a whole load more on re-direct.

Let's wait and see.

 

[kaRN]

Oh Good Lord . . . JC on HLN saying it's a big deal that her skull decomposed when she was on her left side, but her skull was found upright.

We aren't idiots. All that means is that she was on her left side in the trunk and/or that when she was thrown out like trash, she landed on her left. But after the animals and flooding got to her, she ended up face up.

Dr G rinsed out the cranium with a saline solution to wash out the debris. If the skull rolled slightly to the left after that procedure, after it was placed back on the autopsy table or during transport to the funeral home, the mud would have pooled there.

 

[BritsKate]

CM wanted to leave on this big BANG about how this witness has done whatever over 60 thousand times: lie...

but this <modsnip>witness ruined it by going on and on and on about HIMSELF. I think Casey is crying because everyone keeps talking about themselves. There are people just as self centered and evil in the room and they are getting all the attention.

:cow:

I could be married to you! :crazy:

My husband said the very same thing.

 

[Whisperer]

HE could certainly tell what is NOT the Manner of Death. I expect JA to ask him that.Four causes of manner of death:

1. Caylee didn't commit suicide.
2. she didn't die of natural causes,
3. no accident was reported.
4. That leads anyone to conclude homicide.

 

[MissJames]

I have to say that I have disagreed with Dr. G all along. I think it is quite possible that the duct tape was put over Caylee´s face after death. Sorry to say it, but to keep body fluids from spilling.

So did she know in advance body fluids would spill and did it to prevent that? If so ,why not on the rectum,as that's the first place to spill?
If she didn't know in advance,did she put the tape on after the body fluids started spilling? I mean,tape doesn't stick so well to wet objects. :waitasec:

 

[Bullwinkle]

While we're at sidebar, early this morning on HLN it was mentioned that a local bar is providing trial-watchers with live coverage from the courtroom, which is also being shown on a big screen, installed by the City, downtown.

I won't go into details, BUT baby Caylee had more then mouth and nose openings????

 

[kathyn2]

So do you think JA can do anything with Spitz's testimony? I hope so! How does he know about duct tape when there was barely any of it left and all the stickem was gone? I hope that JA brings that up.

 

[mitzi]

Rut Roh...he says adipocere develops in warm temperatures, as opposed to yesterday's expert, who says cool and moist temperatures
and then he said it takes 10 or 12 days before you see adipocere.

Spitz also said that there was no adipocere on the 'skeletin'....ummmm, no kidding...it was left in the dang car and wiped up with the paper towels.

I think she is convinced she will walk, marry JB, and live happily ever after.

 

[strawberry]

Every time someone types WS for Dr Spitz, I think they are saying WebSleuths... argghhh! I need more coffee.

Yesterday I kept thinking TH was talking head
