Conrad Murray trial -Day eight.

[21merc7]

I understand the witnesses defensiveness. I have actually been able to watch a little of the trial today, no boss here yet. The defense attorney is being snide, putting her down by treating her as if she is a five year old, and has been told by the Judge he is being argumentative. I would be a bit defensive too.

I realize the fingerprint on the bottle is a big mistake, and the lack of notation on the other bottle, but the defense attorney does not have to treat her as a common criminal with total disrespect to win favor or subliminal thought from the jurors. His attitude can make or break his case.

Hopefully other investigators will have this cleared up, as I do think she made a mistake not noting where that bottle of propofol was. Understandable error, but still a big deal in a trial.

with state trying so hard to rehab her bottle in bag story I don't think they have any other witness to it, if they did they would not be going over and over it with her

Perhaps that is the case. I'm not convinced at this point though.

I would think they would want to rehab her testimony as much as they could whether or not they had other witnesses that would back up anything or everything she said just so the jury is not left with all the damage the defense was able to accomplish.

Absolutely Joe I have to give both of those witness's to to DT hate to say it but reasonable doubt has been created. I also like the snrky chik but I think she comes off very defensive and very stand offish when she doesnt like a question asked of her. If I was in Jury it wouldmake me think my my why are you hiding something missy.

he has done a great cross, his pointed questions such as are you as sure of that as you are that you saw a bottle in a bag will resonate,

her initial I never made mistakes was moved by his questioning to I may have made some mistakes, I may have done things differently with hindsight will resonate

her I documented the bag as I was not going to collect it was a big boo boo as defence zeroed straight into that mistep as to why if you can document a trash bag you threw away you tampered with vital evidence before taking a photo of it (not verbatim)

I think she appeared defensive at times, and did not like being challenged on things she did not do correctly, and I think she will be a witness who the jurors will remember

Pros. is reading a stipulation regarding the finger prints on the meds. So far no MJ prints.

 

[joe jones]

anybody hear what print of CM was found where, I heard they matched 1 print - was it on the syringe

It was on a propofol bottle.

Snipped & bolded by me.

I agree with what you said... especially since he's so unorganized
& has said, "I forgot" about something.

Next witness: Dan Anderson - toxicologist and criminologist with LA Coroner Office since 1990

 

[joe jones]

here comes the toxicologist, the science will be lost on me so I may be posting some stupid questions that I will need help with

the science that the defence said is coming into there case has already skeered me

 

[Thundar]

Oh please after all this talk about his qualifications don't let there be any mistakes in this part of the testimony. I will be so disappointed if this testimony is not picture perfect.

 

[octobermoon]

I'll be right behind you with probably the same questions! :seeya:

[peace9274]

Rigamarole???

 

[Thundar]

Rigamarole???

Not a scientific term but merely this toxicologist's word. BAAAAWAAAA catch breath, BAAAAWAAAAA

 

[octobermoon]

Maybe it is just me, but that shot of CM looked like he perked up when this man began his testimony.

 

[MsBashterd]

I like this guy he is so peepy about his job reminds me of the Bug Doctor (Dr Vass ??)from Anthony trial I might get a nerd crush on this guy too.

 

[peace9274]

TMI !!!

This guy spends too much time alone in the lab.

 

[Talina]

He's quite animated in his description of the process of evaluating samples for toxicology results. (yes, he does resemble Dr. Vass in his excitement about his profession)

 

[octobermoon]

But is he a chemist? (go a head and throw rotten maters at me)
