state on cross, this device you used for testing is not approved for use on humans? Expert (eventually) yes

 

[browneyes]

Manufacturer of instrument does not approve his little device for use on humans.

 

[Megnut]

Witness is "not a doctor" and hasn't reviewed any medical records whether TH was ever diagnosed or treated for lead testing.

 

[browneyes]

Junk science.

 

[Megnut]

Now suddenly he is a doctor (or playing on on the stand) describing the treatment "we" use to strip metals from the blood.

 

[Megnut]

Junk science.

Ghostbusters.

Prosecutor is busting this witness.

 

[Megnut]

State: how is TH alive with that claimed level of lead?

Witness isn't laughing anymore.

 

[Megnut]

TH had more lead per the nonhuman approved test than maybe anyone else ever.

Ghostbusters gun busted.

His face and head are red. He should be embarrassed. IMO

He's getting paid.....
It's worth the embarrassment

 

[Megnut]

OMG TH's (childhood) blood tested ZERO for lead.

Now witness is dancing.

 

[browneyes]

I agree, but zero respect from peers and others, imo.

 

[Megnut]

Lunch until 1 CST.

 

[tlcya]

OMG TH's blood tested ZERO for lead.

Now witness is dancing.

I am so glad I got to witness that. as a child TH blood tests show zero, negative for lead.

the end.

oh yeah, still waiting for the medical records that show he has autism/Asperger's

ETA this is really so sad. Like, this was their A game. This

embarrassing IMO

 

[Megnut]

I agree, but zero respect from peers and others, imo.

And it was going so well for him too, on the stand. Until it wasn't.

So far I’ve been surprised how little relevant information his family, the people who supposedly knew him the best, actually know about him developmentally and psychologically.

Ya mom drank Jack and Cokes for 8 weeks of a 40+ week pregnancy but when was he diagnosed with FAS and on what criteria was that diagnosis made?

I don’t expect mom to know all the answers to everything based on her own addiction issues but I did expect the attorney to ask and provide the framework for the mitigating factors they are claiming.

We are missing like 30 years of personal history following toddler Tanner. Tell me about high school Tanner. Tell me about what his life was like as a young adult prior to his current circumstances. Tell me about how he was so brain damaged xyz happened. Tell me about the significant events in his life that contributed to where we are today.

A huge missed opportunity and the wrong strategy IMO. The argument is that he is ineligible for the death penalty and sad vague childhood stories aren’t actual evidence of that.

And it was going so well for him too, on the stand. Until it wasn't.

He was just so perky and jovial until he drove into the mountain…the prosecution. He ended up seemingly uneducated and not truthful. IMO

 

[Megnut]

My guess, the Defense doesn't want to touch his high school and young adult years.
I suspect they want to bury years of drug use, which likely has way more to do with the way he is. You know, the way he gets. But that won't spare the DP.

So instead, we have TH, the infant coin machine, who faced the corner and played myself, as recalled by an 11 babysitter-expert, who only tested off the charts for heavy bone lead, with a device which isn't approved for human use, at lethal levels.

Apparently it was only lethal for Athena.

If the defense was seriously putting forward an affirmative defense regarding a disability, he could have requested school records, medical records, CPS records, there had to be some sort of actual documentation of a disabling condition, no matter how screwed up the family is, because they always apply for public assistance, even if the kids never go to school. And there are additional waivers/stipends if the child has a disability.

Believe me, no matter how messed up the family is, when it comes to additional benefits, they are on it.
