She's basically their only witness (they have a psychologist on their list, don't know if that will be their second witness - they apparently have only two).

To throw her out means that the Defense is unable to do their job and would likely result in a mistrial. The Judge knows this and is trying to keep that from happening. The Defense really has done something underhanded here. I hope Dr Lewis doesn't "slip up" and confuse what she learned last night with what she already knew (because it would be very hard to object to, given that the State has no clue what they did last night).

Maybe the Defense is hoping for a mistrial. It wouldn't surprise me.

So it's the timing? If it had happened last week or the week before it would have been fine? I'm confused by that notion.

Of course, any witness, expert or not, for either side, can influence jurors. That's why they are called and why extensive trial prep is usually done with witnesses. Many of the hypothetical "last state's witness" scenarios put forth here in the last few days (e.g., calling Landen or the little sister) were predicated on the idea of influencing the jury too.

We'll see what shakes out.

It wouldn’t be okay with me at any point once the trial has started for an expert witness in a NGRI trial to meet with the defendant, unrecorded, for three hours.

Hopefully you’re right, and we’re all overreacting.

They just stated that they (prosecution) believe Gannon died before Laina came home, because there's no other pictures, phone evidence, video etc of him alive after that. They haven't been more specific than that, though.

So basically, AS wants to Facetime with the kids. LS replies an hour later, and this is the first time she starts saying Gannon is gone (to a friend's)?

To me, I think it's unacceptable at any time outside the court's previously established time frame for accepting expert witness reports/evidence, etc. These conversations have to be recorded and reported.

I seen it happen on both sides . A court official told me once ,the court cannot grant you what you dont them ask for, so ask or don't .

 

[Curious Me]

Witness asked and answered-- In all the texts Letecia sent, none showed a different type personality, all consistent with just Letecia communicating, and there was no indication that a Maria was texting. (No Maria there.)

Shows when the 911 call was placed to report Gannon missing. ​

I'm loving this witness tying all of this up. You can just tell that he knows she's sane and guilty.

Seriously ,I would love to see his off the clock personal opinions ,come out up there . He is a professional but it would be fun.

Some kind of cigarettes (the Swisher Sweets) mentioned being found from LS to Al. Then, Harley is out looking around for Gannon. Letecia tells Al she's freaking out. (Al calls the police. 8:16 p.m. he says, "I emailed everything".) LS says everyone is going to "the fields" to look. "Where are the guns?", asks Mr. Stauch. ​

He's been sat in there the whole trial too so you can just imagine what he's wanting to really say

I'm inclined to believe this was their first face-to-face meeting and it would be impossible for such a meeting not to affect Dr. Lewis's testimony. I think the state has reason to move the court to disqualify Dr. Lewis as an expert witness for the defense. I don't think this is over.

BAM!!!!!!!!!
I want to see her disqualified.

T is expecting Al to react to her needs. With his child missing.

She is a bottomless pit of needy.

LS calling Landen from Gannon's phone.. ugh. Makes me feel a lot of different feelings.

 

[jakat]

Right? If she needed to review she should've looked through her notes and watched the videos from her interviews with the defendant, not visited her for 3 hours off the record the day before she is due to testify. I can't see anything ethical about this at all.

I am wondering how the Prosecution found out, did the defence disclose this visit or did someone at the jail inform them?.

I think they found out this morning but not sure. I just hope there isn't a mistrial. Just wait and see how Judge Werner handles this I guess.

 

[Curious Me]

Call using Gannon's phone to Landen to tell her Gannon is missing. (Witness says Gannon is already deceased.) Another call from Gannon's phone to Landen lasting about 12 minutes. LS tells Al she feels like she's having a heart attack. Al says tell the police. LS says she hasn't eaten, her chest hurts, but it's not about her. ​
