Why is that I wonder. This is a great witness who deserves to be heard without interruption imo@SueNBCBoston
Judge is back.
Appeared to be looking at a book before she left for chambers.
Not off to a running start this am with multiple sidebars and a surprise early recess for the jurors.

Yes jepop!!! ….. seems that a head of steam starts…… then pin pop and a full stop. And now multiple sidebars, and IIUC the judge is consulting legal text at the bench in open court? And has now retired to chambers? Maybe that directed verdict is going to make an appearance? MOOIt's so annoying how the cw has the ability to keep interrupting defense witnesses opining on arm wounds. Imo defense has every right to pursue this avenue. The cw did not once produce an expert who was able to reasonably explain those injuries. Investigators and the cw just stuck their heads in the sand and ignored them hoping the jury wouldn't notice or care imo. Surely the jury has a right to hear expert evidence about JO's arm wounds as the cw did not provide any. Do not understand how and why this keeps happenning and how it is ok under rules of evidence and defendants rights, moo

Sheridan describes the injuries to O'Keefe's arms as "friction injuries", says they were inflicted before he died.

Little asks if the injuries are consistent with being struck by a vehicle while holding a drinking glass. Lally objects. Judge sustains. Sidebar.
Little again asks if the injuries are consistent with being struck by a vehicle. Another objection. Another sidebar.
Sheridan says he has performed "well over 100" autopsies on motor vehicle accidents involving pedestrians.
Little re-asks the question. Sheridan says "if you mean be struck in that part of the arm," I would say no. "You would at least expect bruising."
