Had opportunities to look at studies. You have not outlined or pointed out anything Shaw said that you didn't know in depo... #CaseyAnthony

Court's ruling was based on fact you didn't have color photos, so court struck that exhibit. You had opportunity to take depo

#CaseyAnthony they've now been arguing this for an HOUR outside presence of jury.

HHJP asked Baez what info he would have hoped to glean if given what he's complaining about. Baez couldn't answer so he spoke to Simms

....and "I don't know" isn't prejudice. Possibility that you couldn't replicate/duplicate not basis for objection.

JB says he doesn't know what might've come up that they would have wanted to address. Judge says he has to show prejudice...

JudgePerrySays JudgePerrySays
"'I don't know' translates into nothing."

Judge Perry is appropriately upset. Better to exclude the evidence than run risk of a successful appeal.

MagpieFromHinky Pamela
Baez basically said he didn't know what they might have found. HHJPerry said only if there is prejudice. I don't know could go on forever

Judge Belvin Perry's best line of the trial--to the defense: "You can't turn a shield into a sword." Direct and eloquent.

TrialNotes Trial Notes
Baez: Object. Request this testimony be limited; we don't have copy of what he's tesifying to. Judge: Overruled.

TrialNotes Trial Notes
Purpose of study was to see if the artifact of PMRB could happen with antemortem hair.

anthonycase WOFL
The jury appears to like it when witnesses look at them when testifying.

TrialNotes Trial Notes
Baez asking about hair transfer. (I guess if "there wasn't any PMRB" fails, then hair w/ PMRB was transferred by...George A?)

Sidebar: jury looks around courtroom. The jurors sitting closest to the witness pay the most attention. Like kids in front row of class.

Sticker was the size of a dime. Glue looked like leftovers from a bandaid but in the shape of a heart. Noted it.

Fontaine did not photograph the heart shape...not her job to do that. She notes unexpected items and lets proper ppl know. #CaseyAnthony darn (Sure wish she had photographed that tape before the heart residue disappeared

From my birds eye angle the #caseyanthony jurors look like they're at Wimbledon with heads moving side to side watching Baez and Fontaine

DiDimond Diane Dimond
Love how Liz Fontaine keeps referring the #caseyanthony jury to the TV show CSI - "Like you see on CSI..." she says. Makes it relatable!
