Maybe they're hoping JM will ask for a delay to investigate this 'new info'. Has the defense made allegations that BH was sexually abused? They threw out there something about physical abuse but JM rebutted that with Hulsey's own letters home.

Only physical abuse, I'm sure. Nothing sexual was ever mentioned. I thought that was the point of bringing it up. If Hulsey never actually did claim he was abused, then, yes I can see how this would be irrelevant. But I thought he did.
No offense to TrialsByJen, I appreciate all she does, but sometimes she really forgets she is our eyes and ears and we rely on her to know what is going on. So often people have to ask her what's happening only to find out she thought whatever was going on was too boring too tweet out. That's not how court reporting works, lol.
So it looks like there won't be a delay, they will simply preclude the doctor from testifying.
I suppose I can understand. Letting her testify would probably cause a long delay anyway as the defense and their witnesses catch up and devise a way to respond. I think precluding her testimony is the judge's way of preventing a long delay.

Yes, and it doesn't seem that Nurmi is very proactive.

Did I miss something? I thought that the judge said they'd deal with Dr. Hayes on Monday. It could mean that the judge may allow her only to testify to information given earlier to the defense. Or, the defense is given the weekend to form objections to material recently submitted.
In a tweet earlier JM said most of the 200 pages had already been handed over, so why can't the defense read through them over the weekend and be ready by Monday? Seems like it's too late for JM to get another rebuttal witness, they'd have the same problem (and Hayes has been planned for a long time, I remember seeing minute entries about her).
Totally. He's so uninterested in it all. If you rewatch the guilt phase you'll see most of the objections he makes he was told to make by Wilmott and you could tell because he'd say it exactly the same way she'd object. He worries me. I wish he'd try.
And I have no idea what happened to any of them during mitigation. Even Jodi has done more from her cell than they did.
It just seemed from the tweets that he is considering precluding her. Again, I can understand if he does. But I hope you're right, that she can still be allowed to testify to the stuff the defense already had. Maybe that's what Juan was getting at.
I think it said the 200 page document was new to him, too but that all the other material had already been turned over. I guess it depends on how much new info is in it.
