he seems like a happy camper
In the past three days have emailed the following to CNN twice, called them once, so far they have not aired the story. It may be they do not want to influence the jury...time for me to contact the blog-O-sphere.
Not the first time Seacat involved in killing someone.
The first time as a jail guard in the Sedgwick County Jail. His victim, John Mires who was caught in a DUI and carted off to jail. John worked at his dad's industrial supply store and that's where I got to know him. He was very intelligent, very out spoken and very lippy. I am quite sure he mouthed off to Seacat and Brett used excessive force that killed him.
Here is the story from the Wichita paper:

Suspect in Kingman death had history of using force as a deputy
BY TIM POTTER
The Wichita Eagle
In the years before Brett Seacat was charged with murdering his wife, he received both criticism and praise for his use of force while a Sedgwick County sheriff's deputy.
Seacat was charged May 13 with murdering his wife, Vashti, and setting their Kingman house on fire.
The recently filed first-degree murder charge against Seacat isn't the first time the law enforcement trainer has been accused of killing someone.
A 2002 lawsuit, alleging excessive force, claimed that Seacat while working as a sheriff's deputy slammed 50-year-old John Mires against a concrete wall near the booking desk at the Sedgwick County Jail, causing skull fractures and brain damage. Mires, who was in jail after a DUI arrest, died six days later.
Gary Steed, sheriff at the time, was quoted as saying that investigations by the District Attorney's Office and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation had cleared Seacat.
In a 2008 Eagle article, Ron Mires, John Mires' older brother, said he allowed his lawsuit against the county to be dismissed after the family spent about $13,000 on it and didn't have the money to keep pursuing it.
Ron Mires said he told sheriff's officials in 2005 after the suit was dismissed that he still thought Seacat was a "loose cannon."
When Mires learned of Seacat's arrest a little over a week ago, he said, "I about fell over."
"If I had a done something to stop Brett Seacat when I had an opportunity to do so, she would still be alive," Mires said.

Prosecutor should ask him if the unidentified peak is consistent with fire retardants utilized on the BDU material proper...
Ok I am not sorry I quoted the wrong person.......lol Where do defenses find these people....do they have websites?
I don't know about this guy, but if you want to be considered an expert in your field, you have to keep up with science. The idea that there's been nothing new uncovered or discovered or methods or whatever in the past 30 years, or even since '99 is ludicrous!
One of my daughters is a forensic chemist and they're ALWAYS getting new equipment, procedures, training, constantly. She's drilled on the stand just like this guy, by both sides. If she testified like this, she'd loose her job!
I have no words,
:moo:

This attorney is driving me crazy. Does he think he is building suspense? Building in cresendo at the end of each statement? Slowing each and e v e r y w o r d? Increasing in pitch at the moment when he reveals the Perry Mason moment (which up to now has been anything BUT earth shattering).
I object!
