Dr. William Husel murder trial: Day 6 | 10tv.com

I've been trying hard to follow this trial, but I find this judge and his court room hard to stay with.

Is it just me wondering what's with the apparent party atmosphere in the courtroom whenever the judge asks attorneys to approach the bench?

And does anybody else think of South Park whenever the judge says "M'kay"?

I see he's a graduate of Capital University Law School which is a smallish law school located in an office building in downtown Columbus. It doesn't rank very high among US law schools. There are a number of attorneys and elected officials who have their degree from that school. It's not affiliated with any college or university. It reminds me of a night school or something, though it does have full time students.

Some of his sentencing seems weird - making people convicted of rather middling, non-violent crimes spend every Christmas in jail for several years.

I've been following a great deal of this trial. I am admittedly biased (due to a personal family situation) and I'm probably one of the few who leans in favor of Dr Husel's practices. There is more "suffering" a patient can experience during the process of death than can be noted on a standard medical pain scale. jmo

I'm following closely as well. From the comments I've seen all over SM, the vast majority are in favor of Dr Husel.

Really? Interesting. I was just looking at previous comments posted here on WS.

Anyone see the nurse that testified today?…she described a bromance between Dr Husel and some of the other male nurses. Also, said Dr Husel liked ordering doses in even numbers. It was really strange testimony IMO. This is a really strange trial.

I tend to think people are not so much "in favor" of Dr. Husel but rather think there was a systemic problem in that hospital when a radically different protocol is being followed on the night shift from the day shift, and it pointed to one doctor.

Yes Kathleen I think her name was....odd testimony for sure and she seemed to be lying about many things. Of note today the judge either had been told to try to act a bit more professionally or he was sick. He seemed really different that not so on the attack of Baez. Again today all of the State's repetitive witnesses seemed to bolster the defense case.

Man, I've been looking everywhere for a discussion on this trial because I'm getting obsessed with it. I'm surprised the thread for this trial isn't bigger!

I feel the same way fred&edna, probably for similar reasons.

 

[Gardenista]

Today, Baez tried to question a male nurse witness about the supposed bromance in the ICU and the judge sustained an objection numerous times. I don't understand why that question wasn't allowed since the nurse said it yesterday.

 

[HanniBJeter]

Funny to see that witnesses face when Baez asked about the bromance. He was like wait, what? Like he truly didn’t know what that meant. I think it made the nurse from yesterday that initially said the bromance thing seem like she didn’t like the male nurses and Husel being friendly. It still doesn’t seem like these prosecution witnesses are helping the prosecution.

I too am amazed that no interest here in this trial. Today was another day where State's witnesses were good for defense. I see no case for defense so far. I started watching about a week ago and now will go back and watch the first two weeks. It is a very strange trial/courtroom/judge etc. but it is growing on me. The defense team is doing a good job for their client in the cross. With 14 murder charges going to be a very long haul...and then we have the very short days and no Fridays. If you find a more active discussion please post info.

this judge is just plain weird and makes me wonder about the voters in Columbus. He has a large SM presence due to his running for reelection Nov. 22. NOt so sure with a trial this long if he is the right guy for the job this year. This trial is giving him a platform to make a name for himself (for me not a good name) and I think so much of what he is doing in the courtroom is for the cameras and grandstanding. He seems to be very political.
