Trial Discussion Thread #44 - 14.07.1-2, Day 34-35

[zwiebel]

N: How can it ever be admissable. Flight and fight - why would you present that, if it cannot be tested? This person is not available. Describes what happens to herself....it's evidence from a none-witness that cannot be tested.

 

[Val1]

But it was very helpful to the defense, in that it said he had no anger or rage issues, was not a narcissist, nor an explosive personality. That hurts the states case a lot, imo. :moo:

I'm sure he was coached well on how to answer questions... his aunt is or was one of SA's foremost profilers. Obviously RS couldn't be interviewed as to how he treated her from her view, was ST? Were any of his old gf's?

 

[katydid23]

Nel : why would u present that, if we cannot test it?

Are we going to present emails from those close to the defendant, and just accept them, with no cross, no questions?

 

[jay-jay]

This is too difficult a decision, it might hurt someone's feelings. I'm giving 10 to 1 odds that M'Lady takes a Tea Break. LOL!

.. dunno bout hurting someone's feelings, it's hurting my head! Tea break .. pleeease! :scared:

 

[PrimeSuspect]

Can we imagine how many accused people would have emails read in court from a person who suffers from the same ailment or w/e?!

 

[zwiebel]

N: experts shouldn't have things that are not admissable and that needs to be decided now....it should be dealt with right now. I haven't had as much time as Mr O to prepare case low, but I've quickly perused it....

Nel, speedreader extraordinaire!

The above was meant to be 'case law' but I'm leaving it as 'low'....

 

[JudgeJudi]

Doesn't this remind you of the social worker who volunteered to come in and testify, the one who saw a broken man, "I saw a broken man", "He was a broken man" ad nauseam. At least she came into court, but now we have an email equivalent. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

 

[zwiebel]

Judge consulting with assessors.

Adjourned for lunch. Back at 2pm.

 

[james83]

My money is on a early lunchbreak

 

[katydid23]

I hope she does not side with the defense, per usual....:waiting: :judge:

 

[JudgeJudi]

M'lady would like some lunch. I think we all need something to eat, or maybe drink after listening to Oldwage all that time.

 

[Viper]

Lunch Break!

 

[zoran]

M'lady will be having a working lunch

It's exactly like that but this one is just a few more thousand miles away than the other one.

 

[jay-jay]

Lunch break until 2 o'clock? :scared: .. how is this trial ever going to get done?

 

[Val1]

So if he didn't lose his temper and have anger issues what did Reeva mean when she said he scares her sometimes? (My words, can't remember her exact words).

Perhaps he would go sit in his "pitch-black" room and clean his gun?

 

[zwiebel]

So, last witness:

Hugely qualified Prof who has extensive medical/emotional/personal knowledge about OP.

Says he is not allowed to actually reveal any of those details about him though

Wants to use an email from ex-pat in London to support his expertise and somehow apply what he's saying to OP.

Even though she is not qualified in stress response and has never observed it in OP anyhow

 

[zwiebel]

Poor David Sullivan on whoop has to go off and get jab for sore throat now. Get well soon!

 

[Estelle]

There are 116 people watching this thread right now.

Also there is also a freeze response that is not being mentioned here so they are not up to date.

 

[zwiebel]

If OP gave informed consent, his expert witness could talk about him. Why didn't he?
