trial day 47: the defense continues its case in chief #143

[magpie]

So 2 are dead and 22 injured? And who did this, anyone know? Terrible!

Not sure yet, but they are saying looks like domestic extremist group, domestic terrorism. It's a dam# shame.

 

[Ammonitida]

Does the DT have any other witnesses? Would Juan's rebuttal start today if we ever get back in court?

I don't think so.

Bryan Neumeister is the "computer" expert that was recalled, not Donnie. A week ago it was reported that this "computer" expert was being called to verify the audio on the sex tape (per The State vs Jodi Arias facebook account). That was an error obviously but it does point to Bryan Neumeister as being the recalled witness since he did verify the audio of the sex earlier in the trial.

Ha did you hear when Juan was arguing his points about the mistrial issue? He said the defense was again wasting time and trying to put more money in their pocket? :clap:

You should have seen Wilmott and Nurmie's face.

My exact reaction to that was

 

[Quester]

:waiting: This predictable waiting and poor time management in ridiculous!

 

[kscornfed]

So whatever ALV did it was a biggie. This is a long hearing.

she's probably still answering the first question asked of her.

[missmazzy]

Did she say 704? Or was it 702??????

It would be Federal Evidence Rule 704 but she might have also said 702. 702 goes hand in hand with the Daubert standard.

It was 702, I ""mis-spoke", a'la ALV. Oh, heck, I got it wrong :blushing:

 

[katydid23]

I think the only reason that Nurmi stuck his head out to call Brian into the court room was because Nurmi needed him, once again, to set up the laptop for playing CD's of Juan's interviews.

I think they are having this private hearing with ALV about some accusations that she has made, probably about Juan. JMO

 

[PenElaine]

Wasn't he the last possible defense witness? Some people were saying that Donnie was supposed to be recalled but I think the media had him confused with the eye doc.

"Eye doc". :floorlaugh::floorlaugh:

Well, considering how she answers questions regardless if it is a 'yes or no' question they could be in there for a while.

 

[AZWatcher]

Maybe, but then again ... everything takes a long time in this trial. Hell, we spent the entire morning trying to see a gummy bear drinking a pina colada in the blown up photo of Travis' eye.

 

[CarolinaMoon]

Correct she wanted to do some more research on the matter. Specially committee comments on a local Evidence Rules.

The judge has to be so careful with her ruling. If she accepts the science involved and feels it is reliable science, she sets a legal precedent for future cases involving over-blown-up photo interpretation.

RULE 702. TESTIMONY BY EXPERT WITNESSES

A witness who is qualified as an expert by knowledge, skill, experience, training, or education may testify in the form of an opinion or otherwise if:

(a) the expert’s scientific, technical, or other specialized knowledge will help the trier of fact to understand the evidence or to determine a fact in issue;

(b) the testimony is based on sufficient facts or data;

(c) the testimony is the product of reliable principles and methods; and

(d) the expert has reliably applied the principles and methods to the facts of the case.

The only Possible way the Eye Guy gets in front of this jury would be (a) and even that's pushing it! So yeah, bye bye Eye Guy, we hardly knew 'ye

Actually I think it was "pennies in their kettle". :great:

 

[Liebchenmutti]

Two things.

There are over 104,000 views for today's thread!!!! Amazing!

Also, I was reading JA's tweets and I hadn't seen this one before. Apologies if it's been posted before, but here it is. Very interesting:

I'm very grateful that Gus Searcy had the courage to separate himself from the masses and stay true to his own convictions.

Yeah--I took that to mean that JA "serviced" Searcy in his "motor home" in Las Vegas. JMOO! She needed to thank him for that phone & (maybe) some $$$

 

[leebee52]

Talkin' bout my guy the eye guy....
Sorry, couldn't resist. Kept hearing that song in my head.

Was it just my imagination or did Nurmi while trying to quote JM later say panties instead of pennies? :floorlaugh:

 

[ScarlettScarpetta]

They are back in the courtroom waiting as per WAT!

She "misspoke" and ALSO wrote it down in her notes.
