It takes 10 mins just to get thru her resume... :angel: 'Basically' she is a way qualified board certified pathologist trained in both forensic and antomic pathology who's performed 1,000,00000000 autopsies... j/k but it's up there... ewww.

Do we think G's jail letters will be released?

 

[yolorado]

The ME is so good. She's so easy to understand. She talks fast but not down.

Darinka Mileusnic Polchan, UT med center associate prof of pathology - chief med examiner for Knox county..

She really presents as VERY competent and experienced. Plus she expresses herself so well.

 

[lizzybeth]

She knows her sh**, basically nomsayin?

 

[Muffet]

Her years of teaching show very well... I bet she was awesome as a prof.

 

[Muffet]

LOL Yeah, dude. She'd never be caught "just sittin there, lookin stupit."

 

[Muffet]

Still going over the usual scope of an ME's job and standard procedures...

 

[lizzybeth]

Not only am I in awe of her intelligence but I love the way she's not intimated when the defense goes after her (remembering the other two trials with Cobbins and Davidson).

 

[Muffet]

It always gets me that Chris' body was found early Sunday morning, but Channon's 4Runner (so close by) wasn't found until 1AM Monday Morning, and they didn't get into the house to find Channon until Tuesday. :sheesh:

 

[JulieR]

I want to know if G is looking at the pictures?

 

[Bttrcookie3]

Watching Chris's parents during this is making me break down in tears at work.

 

[steelergirl]

I want to know if G is looking at the pictures?

Me too!! This cameraman is trying to make me cry, showing Gary's hands rocking, the young lady holding Mrs. Newsome's hand. Heartbreaking to think they have to sit through this FIVE times.
