Is everybody back in place on here? If so, I'm going to quit typing. If not, I'll continue. I need to go back and read to see who's here while they take this little break.

Thank you so very much.

'Serna--if few teeth were broken, tip the scales at all regarding homi. or suicide?
Dr.--if front teeth were broken, would indicate something else, jaw--no'

? Weren't Tera's two front teeth broken?

Her front tooth was broken.

Resume from break.

I am disgusted. Showing a third party's death/suicide picture in open court. How disrespectful to that poor man's family and friends.

The Atlas of Forensic Pathology, 1st ed. 1999 by this author and others is $439.38 new on Amazon. Another, same pub. date, is $175.75. That's expensive considering how old the book is now and the strides that have been made in forensics since 1999.

This doctor says gun was pushed back as far as it would go. Seems another State's witness said it was pushed in only and inch or so.

 

[NCEast]

Serna just shot himself in the foot with that question/response.

 

[NCEast]

I hope Ms. Keener is very ready for this witness because he has done a good job responding to Serna. Most of his responses make sense.

Maybe it's considered an antique, rare, first edition.

Looks like the tooth is missing to me.

 

[geevee]

Get him, Keener! Serna loves to object when she crosses.

 

[calamityjane831]

I love it when the PT shoots hole in these defense witnesses. Yes when you have the truth on your side that is priceless no dollar amount can break it apart!!!

 

[calamityjane831]

New Mexico should follow what Florida does and have a ME go on scene even for a suicide.

 

[KALI]

Who would jam a gun into their mouth so hard it would break their tooth? Also so far in? Ridiculous.

 

[geevee]

3 approaches, Serna is going for a record with Keener. lol

 

[NCEast]

So this makes, what--38 bench conferences Serna has requested already this morning?
Lord have mercy, that man is killing my nerves.

 

[Jewels53]

Why do they keep going to the bench? My DH keeps talking and I haven't been able to listen.

tia

 

[geevee]

Hahaha Talk about speaking objections.

 

[NCEast]

I'm proud of Ms. Keener, she's showing some guts. I wish she'd punch Serna out.

 

[geevee]

Is Serna trying to rewrite history? There was a failed demonstration with McCann.
