GUILTY FL - Emanuel Murray, 3 mos, thrown from car, dies, Tampa, 5 May 2009

[zoey]

Dr. David said the wound on Emmanuel's chest was NOT a bite mark. Lipton agreed.

The 5 wounds on Jasmine, only 3 were human bit marks, in Dr. David's opinion. Dr. Lipton said all 5 were bite marks.

Regarding the 3 bite marks, in Dr. David's opinion, shoulder bite, can't exclude McTear, cheek bite, can't exclude McTear, neck bite, can't exclude McTear

how is this helping defense? :gaah:

#McTear defense expert says it's possible for people with different teeth to make similar bite marks.

Tampa Bay Times Live ‏@TBTimesLive 4m
Defense's dental expert says skin is an imperfect "production medium." People w/ different teeth can leave similar bite marks. #McTearTrial

So this doesn't prove that McTear isn't the bitter. IMO

Really appreciate these tweets, Jewels! :loveyou:

#McTear defense expert says he "cannot exclude" McTear as biter in all 3 human bite marks on Bedwell

how is this helping defense? :gaah:

Not so much, but it might be helping Dr. David pay for a vacation or fancy car :giggle:

Not so much 'reasonable doubt' in my opinion. But, hey, I can't blame them for trying.

 

[Lovejac]

approach the bench

Defense expert says what the state claimed was a bite mark is actually "a combination of a bruise and a scrape." #McTearTrial

I know these are not the worse pictures to be shown in a trial. Please stop showing them, once was enough, they are showing them on twitter also. jmo

"I think it's more likely finger marks," #McTear expert says re what prosecution says is a bite mark on Bedwell's arm.

Could the extra discoloration be bruising from the bite mark? just asking

I truly cannot figure out how this is helping....if not bite mark he grabbed her (then perhaps bit her) :kickcan:

Defense expert: "I could reach over and bite myself on the arm where that injury is located." #McTearTrial

Didn't he just say it wan't a bite mark? I hope this jury is paying attention! imo

I truly feel this defense attorney is not doing well with his own witness. imo

Expert says if these are bite marks on Bedwell's arms, they're inconsistent w/ the ones on her face, neck & shoulder. #McTearTrial

Defense expert acknowledges McTear has unusual teeth, but the bite marks don't show evidence of that #McTearTrial

"There is not sufficient evidence," defense expert says, to conclude McTear was the biter. #McTearTrial

Defense expert says the person who collects evidence should not analyze it, as Dr. Lipton did, because they're biased. #McTearTrial

Elaine Silvestrini ‏@ElaineTBO 17s
#McTear expert says dental lineup should have been created. Prosecution expert only looked at #McTear's teeth to compare bite marks

"I cannot exclude him...but I do not have enough evidence to go any further than that," #McTear defense expert says re bite marks.

McTear trial is back in session, prosecution is cross examining the defense's dental expert. #McTearTrial

 

[Jewels53]

Elaine Silvestrini ‏@ElaineTBO 32s
Prosecution and #McTear expert sparring on how many people should be compared to Bedwell's bite marks.

Elaine Silvestrini ‏@ElaineTBO now
Prosecutor suggesting in her questions that McTear, Bedwell and the baby were the only ones in the room, so no other comparisons needed

So, how many folks here just tried to do what the Dr. says is possible, and you WELL KNOW from that test that there is no way :floorlaugh: Dr.'s cred just went into the toilet.

Prosecutor says prosecution expert never said disputed injury was a bite mark. Def expert starts to waver. #McTearTrial

Elaine Silvestrini ‏@ElaineTBO 47s
Prosecutor disputes that Bedwell could have bitten herself on back of arm above elbow. "It's possible to do that," #McTear defense xprt says
