It wasn't a mistake but a downright lie!

She should say, prosecution misrepresented the evidence....and now you can choose to disregard any or ALL comments by lawyers if you find they have been untruthful....haha. Magical thinking.

 

[missy1974]

He actually used himself but not to be hit at high speed. I still can't believe the defense put this Test E out there, I guess they had no choice. The prosecution would have if they didn't. MO

he used the 50 percentile dummy when showing what happens when falling backwards on to cement. So are you saying that his testing should be disregarded, right?

I hope the jury is smart enough to see thru brennan's lie. JMOO

IMO we can only pray

 

[sunshineray]

If it's going so great for the CW why are they resorting to making up lies like they just now got caught in?

I'm behind on watching the testimony for today so you'll have to be more specific please.

 

[Younger Sister]

IMO The judge knows what she needs to do but she has such an attitude...and looks like she is in pain.

I believe he is referring to the holes in the back of the hoodie--- made by med techs and CW is alleging they occurred during the incident.

brennan lied about how the holes got in the back of the hoody. It's in Wolf's testimony. JMHO

 

[keek]

Horrific. The truth is shut out again by this court to the jurors of what just all transpired, sleazy moves going on again. IMO.

 

[jepop]

ohhh so we have holes in the back of the sweatshirt?

Wolfe says they are inconsistent with road rash. If you fall and land on your back, you are not going to get holes.

This makes no sense... now holes on the back are from landing? but the holes on the arm are from the tail light?

The glass from the hatch window did it, which got smashed in the 29miles/ph direct impact experiment. Clearly inconsistent with the damage to KR's Lexus, yet this was the only instance in which the tail light diffusers received minor damage. Still inconsistent though; KR's Lexus diffusers were completely destroyed. Seems maybe a sledge hammer could do that imo but no way does an impact as contended by Brennan and Welcher destroy the diffusers. There you go.

Even at this speed and the direct orientation, the dislodged tail light pieces once again failed to bite and scratch the dummy arm in the pattern of an dog attack. Moo

Breaking: for the third time the defense in the #KarenReadTrial is moving for a mistrial. Testimony is delayed. Bob Alessi is objecting to Hank Brennan's actions this morning, specifically regarding testimony conerning the O'Keefe hooded sewatshirt.



ALESSI says Brennan improperly showed the back of the hoodie to the jury. it was taken out of its casing - the judge is now seeing the back of the hoodie. "It's very obvious these are cutting holes cut by the criminalist." Brennan had asked about the damage to the sweatshirt




Alessi says Brennan improperly asked about these holes being cause by falling backwards after being hit by a car. "those holes are clearly, unequivocally" the work of the criminalist cutting the fabric.



Judge is asking to see documents from the criminalist, showing she made the cuts. Defense says Brennan intentionally did not enter those docs into evidence.




Alessi says the jury should see these documents to give them "the complete story" about the cuts in the fabric. Cannone says that is reasonable. But Alessi goes on to argue a mistrial "with prejudice.”



Alessi: "They’ve taken the most opportune sensitive time to pull this stuff." Alessi says this comes mere days after the spectre of Brennan bringing up lack of dog DNA. (He demanded a mistrial then, Judge said no as she will on this one I suspect.”



Alessi says CW has NO CASE and is DESPERATE...Hank's therefore manufacturing evidence.



Brennan says "it appears I made a mistake." he says there should be a jury instruction. He says this was done inadvertently. Brennan advises Cannone to instruct the jury to disregard statements/testimony about the sweatshirt.”



Alessi concludes: ms read deserves a fair trial - cw should be held to a higher standard. This is the antithesis of a fair trial.”



Judge denies the motion. Says the documents about the holes in the shirt will be entered into evidence. She will instruct the jury those holes in the shirt were made by the criminalist Miss Hartnet on 5-18-2023.

I agree...if one is practiced in glossing over something of great importance, we just witnessed how it is done...IMO

my post was about redirect and Brennan showing the holes that I now know were made up lies by Brennan.

I thought it was "new"... guess there was a reason I hadn't heard of them before.

I'm sorry! I've not been watching because of Brennan. Jaysus I better tune in.

"Okay, go ahead with your argument." *** loud sigh

 

[lohrtabitha]

The judge needs to admonish Brennan at this point. I can’t she just allowed that exchange. Dr Wolfe is interrupted by Brennan while answering, he says can I answer the question, Brennan says NO, defense has to object. Then he gets to answer. This is so frustrating to watch.

So True. Lawyers have a code of conduct that they must follow and with the judge not admonishing him on it, shows more bias (if that is even possible) on her part. See number 4:

IMO Brennan is digging a deep hole for himself. He is a legend in his own mind and thinks he is actually accomplishing something positive for the CW. The man doesn"t know when to stop the nonsense.

If he runs for DA, I cant see the people of MA voting him in.

 

[lohrtabitha]

The judge did most of that after reading the case law provided at the different times. I am not a judge and have not read the case law. I will bow to her expertise.

BBM- Thank you as I thought.
