Yes @Warwick7 ….. and IMO I was confused by several of his statements on the record today, in court, on just who solicited the ‘supplemental’ report.

In early cross from Alessi IIRC I believe Burgess indicated that despite what the printed report introduction said…… it was basically himself, Burgess, that sought need to update or supplement the report. (The report introduction essentially said words to the effect, ‘per your request Mr. Brennan’…… And Burgess tried to state that it was simply a matter of something in a definitive report having been ‘copied over’ from a prior document. And perhaps not properly vetted or examined? SMH)

And then under further questioning during cross by Alessi I thought I understood Burgess to then claim that it was the CW or Brennan that had solicited re-review or a supplement to the earlier report?

IMO this needs to be further investigated. And perhaps by the court, judge, MA Office of Bar Counsel, and any relevant Office of Disciplinary Counsel. On the record and under oath.

It almost seems there is now an unclear question on the record that needs to be addressed. And whether that might arise to further evidence of perjury or misrepresentations before the court is not yet clear. IANAL. MOO
Bbm

So… we are to believe that a report used in a trial viewed by the entire nation (and world?)… he was just that careless? No proof-reading, editing, nothing?

sure.

He said cars contain modules that track different data. The card he found, which also contained information like contact lists, call logs, serial numbers and phone numbers for connected devices, detailed time-stamp data about when the vehicle was powered on and off both before and after O'Keefe's death.

He said when the Lexus is powered on, an internal clock like a stopwatch begins running. When the car performs something like a three-point turn or backing maneuver, a time stamp is created as the clock continues to run.

Using the data pulled from the GPS navigation application Waze from O'Keefe's cell phone and Ring camera surveillance video, Burgess said he was able to verify the accuracy of the time stamps collected from the Lexus. He could also adjust for any slight variances between the times on different devices.

Read’s team tried to poke holes in Burgess’s credibility, accusing the analyst of misleading clients about his academic credentials.

No they didn't try. They ate him up and spit him out. M00

I mean, maybe it was... seventeen years ago.

He is not credible in anything he did. He also brought up Tully, also shown to be in question as a LE involved. Things were manipulated on levels it seems, to go the way some wanted and needed it to. This is what comes out of this today, and then some. Jury watched intently and lots of notes per a court reporter. IMO

No he didn't, not under oath, as you stated. He said they were errors in documents he was shown. Yes I watched.
While there’s no shame in not having a college degree, lying about one’s educational accomplishments is bad. When a so-called expert lies about their education and uses that lie to testify under oath before a jury, it is absolutely inexcusable, it's fraud.

I suspect Lally is smiling tonight. "At least my expert admitted he only had an Associates degree!"

Guess "judge" cannone's grave concern about the hank's behavior in this case went out the window with this witness' testimony?
Had no idea she had grave concerns about Brennan. I sure miss missed that!

This ongoing incident very much falls into the category of if-a-defence-witness-had-done-the-exact-same-thing-judge-beverley-would-have-gone-ballistic-!

Welp, this guy is going to have all the time in the world to get his degree starting next week!
LOL. It just won't be at the Univ of Alabama because they don't even offer the degree he is supposedly pursuing.

Lying under oath means lying in court after swearing to tell the truth. Point to a lie he told in court about his credentials.
Interesting. Do you think it's better if an expert lies, just not under oath?

Today was so bad for the CW. I thought the day the ME testified was bad. This was worse. Brennan attempted to discredit the states own ME, whom happened to be highly qualified. Today he puts up an expert that lied about his education. They clearly knew and tried to mask it by having the link removed from the company website and Brennan didn’t start his testimony with his full educational background ground like is normal for experts.
I wonder how he was feeling leaving court today, like how do you even get the jury to consider this guys testimony now. Also the copy and pasting on the reports. Why would you do that for a report for a trial where words like “per your request…” matter? Truly unbelievable, can’t wait to see what tomorrow holds for him.

I'm sure this has been mentioned, but recall that the judge requried a voir dire of ARCCA (the guys with the legit PHDs) but not this clown.

Why does it appear this judge is so biased? Is there a background story?Was she the judge in the first trial as well?

And Dr. Russell has had a couple of voir dires. Her education and experience is extremely impressive and Cannone thought it was "close" that she be allowed in as an expert.
