State v Bradley Cooper 04-20-2011

[Danielle59]

Being qualified as an expert will allow him to be used again and again as a defense expert witness and THAT is where he will see a financial reward. Do a pro bono, get qualified, and then add that to that extensive resume of his. Gave a little, to get a lot.

Let's assume for a minute he did that, why is that not okay ? Prosecution and Defense both call expert witnesses, they are needed in our Judicial System. Why is such a big deal being made about it?

Forget what I said. I didn't even phrase my post the way I meant. LOL! You are right.

You are too funny kl :floorlaugh:

 

[BrownRice]

Off topic. VERY cute witness.

Mr. Wall and the Cooper's drifted apart in 2005. Realize he did an affidavit for BC....but they had minimal contact since 2005. This is a stretch.

 

[KellyCrash]

She is. I don't blame her. And, she tried to stay out of the affair which NC told her about. I wonder why NC told her about that. Didn't seem relevant.

Teachers like to know what is going on at home as it can affect the children. They are still developing communication skills.

Remember the scott peterson witnesses to his being 'a good golfer'?

I wonder if the jury can hear him. I'm having a tough time.

 

[Danielle59]

There are perhaps millions of business pages on FB. I, too, think he used it for professional connections.

I didn't understand it that they were talking about his business page, but his personal page. I think he probably uses sites like Linked in for professional connections.

Yes, because they could not find any character witnesses for him. In the penalty phase I believe I remember they had grade school teachers.

At one point, I was having a hard time hearing Cummings. My volume is maxed out.

My point being - this is the only specimen this defense could procure as an expert to defend the evidence of the computer and he wasn't even an expert in the area they needed. To *me*, that just says that money couldn't even buy them an expert. His agreeing to testify pro bono was self-serving on his part. If an expert could have been hired, an expert would have been. They only got this guy because he needed something from them.

This is stupid. It has nothing to do with his expertise. I can't believe the judge is allowing this.

Goes to credibility.

Some posters are upset that he was such an effective witness and liked/trusted by the jury. Some were epxpecting him to trip over himself on the stand - didn't happen. Some were expecting a blistering cross and a meltdown on the witness stand - neither of which materialized.

What did materialize was the pros scoring points against themselves on cross and looking very amateur and unprofessional, and some of the posts you see are just folks taking out their frustrations with negative and unfounded accusations against his character.

I'd like to ask this witness what the Cooper house looked like when Nancy was giving childcare to his child.

The Defense in this case has a limited budget that does not affect the State.

What is bolded is supposition, you have no idea about the validity of those statements. Or that his working pro-bono was self serving.

BC was Even KEEL versus Even Kill...

 

[cody100]

I am still laughing at this witness saying BC was even keeled. He even smiled when he knew what he had said.

He has a very professional linked in page.

And I was waiting for them to ask the young babysitter the same thing.

Not there at all on Friday per the judge!
