I don't think the Judge has gotten it and most likely won't.

Oh goodie. The jury is probably now discussing what they will wear on Monday and how to arrange it by seating.

 

[katydid23]

judge may bar testimony that DP was trained in how to restrain people without sustaining personal injury.


[ what a surprise...]

 

[katydid23]

Burmila: If witness says #DrewPeterson knows how to restrain people without leaving a mark, what does that have to do with anything?

I hope the judge has something to say to Lopez about his not so smart remark to Mr. Ruby. jmo

 

[~n/t~]

In Session The jurors are excused from the courtroom. Connor addresses the court, says that he believes that the defense wants to make some objections to the next witness (“these would be the training records”). The defense immediately objects. Brodsky: “They want to get in all these training things, things that are completely irrelevant.” Connor indicates that there is indeed particular training that the defendant received regarding evidence handling that the State would like to introduce through this witness. “It’s to show that he obviously has more training than the average individual regarding restraint techniques . . . this defendant could very easily maintain control over Kathleen Savio without any injury to himself . . . there’s been testimony this was a homicide, which shows someone else committed this act . . . that the whole point of the training is that officers can restrain any individual without injury to themselves is relevant to the jury.” Judge: “You can’t be serious that you want to argue to this jury that the defendant had this training and ‘just trust us that he was there, and this is what he did to her when he was there’?” Connor: “He had been trained in how to restrain an individual. And that allowed him to drown Kathleen Savio.”

 

[katydid23]

judge says "you haven't presented any evidence yet, linking him to scene."

Burmila: How would that training indicate that #DrewPeterson was not injured when he did this? Connor: It would make it less likely.

Brodsky: “They want to get in all these training things, things that are completely irrelevant.”

judge says "you can't be serious" to prosecutors request on restraint training, suggesting it is improper speculation.

Wasn't it Dr. Baden who found the bruising that the ME's missed that could be attributed to her being restrained? I guess this judge has been running in and out so much he is missing some of the testimony. ????? jmo

[ Sounds like the judge is going to rain on the states parade. Looks like they will end with a whimper today. ]
