This guy is not nearly as seasoned as the state's witness. Yes, he's testified in 390 trials, but the vast majority were civil cases. He didn't even write a report for this hearing. The state's witness did. Plus he comes across as *extremely* defensive. Of course we know the judge will give this guy great latitude because that's just how Judge Dennis rolls.
The judge just lectured the state again because she's trying to impeach the witness's own statements and he won't answer her questions. sigh...
Judge has already hinted that he (judge) considers both civil and criminal testifying 'valid.'
Judge will allow the defense witness to testify as an expert witness.
(Ok I simply hate this judge. Sorry I know that's a strong word, but I do).
