He’s actually being nicer than I thought he’d be. I mean, he insinuated that she, after a successful career and retirement, was using the Karen Read case to launch a new career in expert testimony… but at least he didn’t yell it!
And btw Brennan, what would be wrong with this highly skilled woman transitioning to a new career that is built upon all the knowledge and experience from her previous career ? It's a natural progression.
It was 3:45pm ish when the judge called it for the day but I think Brennan was winding up to go full Chucky, but he was saved by the judge. It won't play well with the jury. She is an earnest and likable older woman.
HB kept asking her whether she had ever taken a course in "patterns and dogbites" or something like that - she keeps replying no - then finally she says because NONE exist -.
It is so like Brennan to ask the, well you have not done this or that - but this or that does not exist or doesn't make a bit of difference- just his snakish way of trying to discredit the person because he cannot discredit the information.
You Hank Brennan are losing the battle and Mr Lally is here for it.
The more I process the earlier witness Devers and her testimony I think she's on desk duty soon and then maybe back in the archives. She made herself and her department look very bad.
There is no reason that the account she gave to the FBI would be a false memory- it was so specific - included Karen's car etc. ...how many times has a Lexus like that one been in the sallyport during her Canton tenure. My guess NEVER.
It's very hard to straighten out the lying and corruption when it seemingly trickles down from the top.
Oh and one more thing - I wish they had not read the Proctor text about John's sister's husband Overdosing/Killing himself at the sister's grave. Uncalled and unnecessary.
