Trial - Ross Harris #8

[catpatrol]

IMO it is impossible for any reasonable person to look at the space where Cooper died and truly believe there was any way RH didn't see him, unless they are making excuses for him.

Disagree, and I think that's exactly why there are lesser charges and he isn't just charged with malice murder.

key developments which happened yesterday during the defense's expert testimony:

Witness [expert] says he is not aware of any of Harris’ late night texts. State shows a pattern of staying up late to sext. They try to show that Harris was not “fatigued” because it is normal for him to stay up so late.

The state says that Harris only brought in Chick-fil-A four times that month, so it was not a habitual thing.

Witness and the state went back and forth about whether or not Harris was stressed about work. State argues that because Ross was late to work and planned on leaving early, he could not have been that stressed about work.

Witness agrees that texting about the child and people asking about the child at work could all be memory cues that you forgot the child in the car.

Witness agrees that this case in unique- including the fact that Ross was sexting men and women the night before.

Witness agrees that in most cases where the child is left in the car, something stressful happens during the car ride.

Witness agree with State that most of the cases where children are left in the car, the child is out of sight.

Whoever wrote that (Fox5?) couldn't have been listening very closely. Or maybe got their info secondhand.

He wasn't lste for work; the State said CFA 4 times in past 9 days, Brewer said 4 in 30 days and why he did might be significant as Boring was correct; Brewer was aware of sexting, he just hadn't been asked to read thru irrelevant sex yadayada; up to sext, the defense countered up to work; Brewer most certainly did NOT agree this case is unique, he said exactly the opposite; Brewer did NOT say something stressful had to happen in the car for these deaths to occur, but exactly the opposite.

I still can not believe the Judge did not let Murphy testify to the SWs. Or any of the SW. I think this will come back and make Staley sorry that she did that. How far it went, "full of misleading, mistruths, misstatements, and out right lies" Lumpkin and the jury deserves to hear this. Have the right to impeach testimony given... start at 17:00

It sounds like Dr. Diamond is not their witness, but I missed the beginning. Am I hearing correctly?

They appear to be arguing about the "expert" status of the DT's final witness.

 

[arkansasmimi]

Rodriguez is arguing about someones qualifications.

 

[JerseyGirl]

The prosecution is registering a complaint that it hasn't had a preview of expert testimony the defense plans today.

Sounds like it, but my sound just came on late.

It is there, it is folded down behind. Grimstead rested his tape measure on it at one point to get the measurement from car seat to dash. JMHO I never heard anyone state it was up over his head. I know with my grands we did same with our car seats when not using, that is why its made like that. JMHO

It wasn't over his head... that's my point. He was too big for it to go over his head. W/ that particular car seat, which I own, the canopy does NOT push down that far behind the top of the seat. They had to force it into that position in order to keep using it when Cooper was as big as he was. ETA It makes no difference in the big scheme of things, I just think it shows another way the parents knew he was too big despite LH not knowing how tall he was... (which is another thing I don't believe).

The defense responds that it provided a summary of the witness's testimony to the prosecution.

 

[JerseyGirl]

Judge Mary Staley Clark reads the summary. Prosecutor Evans says the witness declined to speak with the prosecution when it contacted him about his prospective testimony.

The defense responds that it provided a summary of the witness's testimony to the prosecution.

So the expert refused to cooperate with the prosecution? Sounds like it.

 

[Angelonline]

Who is it? Diamond?

 

[TexMex]

A Mr. Evans...

 

[JerseyGirl]

Staley agrees that the summary provided by the defense is insufficient. Evans asks that the witness be disqualified as an expert.

The judge says she will not do that, but she suggests that Evans and defense attorney Carlos Rodriguez go to the witness, who is waiting to testify, and speak with him about his plan to testify.

Evans clarifies for the court that he does not believe the defense was stonewalling the state on this; rather, he says, he believes it was an issue with the witness himself.

Getting to work at 9:30 is late for work when you intend on leaving at 4:00pm and take an hour long lunch. How is that fair to his coworkers who show up and work full days and get their tasks accomplished?

So, no Diamond.

This is interesting.

 

[keeponsearching]

They won't be calling Diamond?
