I guess this witness will be quick since they didn't break for lunch?

Uhs and Ums make for horrid conversations...

MM cleching jaw after Gypsy says she's in another relationship

 

[bsk]

Hmm. If Martin wouldn't stay on the line with 911 because he was so busy doing CPR on his wife, why would he stop to call this guy?

 

[turaj]

why would you call your work as your wife is "coding"

 

[getReal]

Do we know that she shamed him or cut him off? For ? Really?

I can understand starting to hate someone b/c of the way they treat you and drifting apart. I can't understand shaming or cutting someone off over .

I was filling in a lot of blanks when I said "probably". Of course, I don't really know for sure. Part of my assumption was influenced by the notion that Michele was quite devoted to her Mormon religion.

Take my analysis with a grain of salt.

Oooooh.... and the point of this witness is wth exactly?

 

[seattlechiquita]

why would you call your work as your wife is "coding"

Because you are making her code and need to establish a "good smaritan" phone call somewhere?

 

[Hope4More]

This guy is sure eager to back macneill. Why's that? Anyhoo, sure is a lousy witness.

 

[bsk]

And this witness helps the defense how??

 

[Hope4More]

Oooh. He's the guy who says she had health problems , so natural death. I get it.

 

[turaj]

i would not want to be treated by this guy..something about him does not inspire confidence.

 

[turaj]

pead once again not effective

 

[bsk]

Oooh. He's the guy who says she had health problems , so natural death. I get it.

But if so doesn't it seem highly self-serving that he said almost nothing to him beforehand and then mentioned all this "helpful" other info later?

I see where Pead is going. There would be no need for MacNeill to panic since he'd have done this a lot.

:waitasec: Maybe she couldn't make it last night and it will be tonight? :dunno:

Don't miss Dr. #MartinMacNeill's adopted daughter Giselle on the show tonight! She opens up about her father & her mother's death. 10pET

2nd call - no nonsense in voice - he was distressed
yes, I could understand what he was saying

did marty talk to you about his relationship with his wife around the time of her death
yes, knew his wife had some type of surgery
any health issue discussed - no
but later talked about her having HTN
and took her to doctor for treatment

he thinks marty said wife was cleared for surgery

very challenging medical individuals at DC

code = cpr - life saving measures

discussing different codes and techniques
