We’re back. My stream runs a bit behind.

Alessi is crossing Mr. Burgess.

Alessi is asking SB about the scientific method. Talking about how important the scientific method is within forensics, and how important the accuracy is when findings will be presented in court. He’s now talking about reliability, credibility and honestly.

SB agrees that the scientific method prevents scientific bias. Alessi talking about ‘confirmation bias’ (selectively gathering evidence) and ‘anchor bias’ (prioritizing info&data that supports the initial interpretation of evidence, even if it’s unknown that the initial interpretation is correct).

Going hard talking about biases.

Burgess called the case a homicide BEFORE he even began his scientific testing.

Some of Burgess’ testing that he just testified to in direct was happened as trial 2 has been occurring.

Now onto professional credentials. We’re going there. Bringing up Mr. Burgess’ CV.

Ruh Roh. Questions on his “education”

He claimed he had education that he really didn't have. The guy lied.

Ruh Roh. Questions on his “education”

He was hired by his company as his education stood. He is just working for them and then hired along with a few others for this trial. Merolli is one to see his background, if up. Would be a shredding fiasco by atty's. IMO

I was just going to say that I can't find the links or his linkedin account. Alessi beat me to it

Now onto professional credentials. We’re going there. Bringing up Mr. Burgess’ CV.

He is being asked about his Nov 2024 CV where under education he lists ‘BGS - Bachelor of general science and mathematics in business administration - currently pursuing’.

Now Alessi is pulling up Burgess’ April 2025 CV. He has no Bachelor of Science.

But he has a public profile on Aperture - a biography page - which states he holds a B.S. in Mathematics in Business Administration…

What?

 

[lohrtabitha]

Man, these experts should have really studied these Defense attorneys before they accepted to do this case for the CW. Alessi is trashing their credibility as witnesses. There is no amount of money worth having your credibility destroyed.

 

[kuromiiiilove]

Weren’t the defense supposed to be allowed a ‘robust examination’ as per Judge Cannone?

Court TV is running behind, so cross hasn't started there yet, but I take it that we should watch for spontaneously combusting trousers at some point?
IMO.

Aperture took down the hyperlink to his LinkedIn account down within the last 72 hours…

 

[Amber29]

This is making me feel bad for Burgess

 

[keek]

Their company did this. Who they hire. Now look. IMO

 

[kuromiiiilove]

What?

He was still doing testing until May 2025. But his January 2025 report calls the case a homicide (not ‘presumed’ or ‘alleged’ homicide). Definitely implies bias IMO. But then again, he was hired by the CW, not some third party agency… MOO

Brennan objected to a screen shot of Burgess's linked in account being entered. Now at side bar. Let,'s see if cannone really allows this "vigorous cross" she promised to proceed after the cw's ambush. Jmo
