2:28
is continuing coverage of the trial of
2:30
Karen Reid from The Hidden Killer's podcast
2:32
and true crime today. Now back to
2:34
the courtroom. Jack, your exclusion is
2:36
the highest form of punishment. It's the highest
2:39
form of sanction that the court has available
2:41
to it. Just to put a
2:43
fine point on it, it is a dire, dire
2:45
remedy. And I know the court has mentioned two
2:47
or three times, I'm finding a violation of rule
2:50
That sounds as if the court is suggesting or
2:54
has inferred that we did something wrong. We didn't
2:56
do anything. Because the court learned. I didn't reach
2:58
out to her. She reached out and said, hey
3:00
look, I've got some experience with this. I asked you
3:03
that the other day though and I was told
3:05
that you reached out to her through an intermediary.
3:07
I wasn't told she reached out to you through
3:09
an intermediary. I know that there's a difference.
3:12
What I was trying to get at is this somebody who read
3:14
about this case and said, you know, I want to be part
3:17
of that. That's what I was trying to get at. I think
3:19
it was pretty clear, Mr. Jackson. Go ahead, continue with your argument.
3:21
Okay, I did not misrepresent anything. I didn't
3:23
say that. I take offense at the court's tone. You're
3:25
saying, yes, you did say that. You just said that.
3:28
You said, I just heard the testimony and it's not
3:30
what I said the other day. I know a
3:32
person in Los Angeles DA's office. I received
3:34
a text message from that person saying there's
3:36
someone who reached out to me who said
3:39
I might be able to elucidate on this
3:41
controversy concerning the dog bite. I then reached
3:43
out to her. So when you asked me
3:45
who reached out to whom, I reached out
3:47
to her through an intermediary, my friend in
3:49
the DA's office back in Los Angeles County.
3:52
So maybe it wasn't clear what I was
3:54
looking for. I think it was clear. Go ahead,
3:56
continue with your argument on this. requires
4:00
a sanction if in fact the
4:02
attorney has done something wrong. In other
4:04
words, it connotes the
4:06
idea that we're doing something by actively
4:09
hiding evidence or holding back evidence or not
4:11
providing evidence that you know you're going to
4:13
use at some point in an effort to
4:15
take a tactical advantage and the sanction for
4:17
that is exclusion. I've never met this woman.
4:19
First time I laid eyes on her was
4:21
during the process after she flew out here to
4:24
engage this this uh quality of process. She indicated
4:26
I could potentially provide some information about this controversy
4:28
concerning dog mites. I then sent her materials. I
4:30
talked to her. I sent her materials. I found
4:33
her incredibly credible. I found her to be experienced
4:35
and I found her to be knowledgeable in this
4:37
very specific area which is rare. There's not that
4:39
many people who have published doctors who have published
4:42
in the area of dog mites. It's specific. So
4:44
I thought it makes sense for me to reach
4:46
out to her and talk to her which is
4:48
exactly what we did and within a couple
4:50
of days literally almost counted by the hours
4:52
of me receiving her information. We then had
4:55
a discussion amongst ourselves. Is this somebody that
4:57
we want to then present on the defense
4:59
side on the defense case when we turn
5:01
the information over to Mr. Ryle. I understand
5:03
that it was well into the trial but
5:05
it's that's not a fault of ours and
5:07
I don't think the sanction of exclusion is
5:11
necessary or appropriate to punish Ms.
5:13
Reed from having an experienced witness
5:15
testify in rebuttal to ultimately what
5:17
Dr. Squirtie Bello and the Commonwealth
5:20
is going to present in their case
5:22
and she that's what she's going to do.
5:24
She's going to present contrary evidence for an
5:26
alternative theory of where those injuries came from
5:28
to a person. Everybody on the Commonwealth side
5:30
who can elucidate about this has said those
5:32
injuries come from a tail line including Mr.
5:34
Paul yesterday. We have contrary
5:36
evidence and Ms. Reed should be entitled to
5:38
present that evidence even though it came late.
5:40
It didn't come late by any fault of
5:43
ours and I don't believe that the Commonwealth
5:45
has made out a prejudice that they can't
5:47
overcome. It's late. Obviously Mr. Lyle is a
5:49
skilled lawyer. There's nothing to say that can't
5:51
or hasn't been able to prepare
5:54
for the cross-examination or for
5:56
an exam and examination for jury and I
5:58
just don't think exclusion is appropriate. All
6:00
right, so the second part of this argument,
6:02
and I'll start with the Commonwealth first. So
6:05
in your motion to exclude, you
6:07
also raise a Daubert type concern.
6:10
So Mr. Lally, is there portions,
6:12
if I permit her to testify,
6:14
are there portions focused specifically on
6:17
part of her opinion where she
6:19
says, I guess the
6:21
defense expects her to be able to say
6:23
she will testify that these injuries are inconsistent
6:25
with having been struck by a vehicle, road
6:27
rash or scratches from broken glass or tail
6:29
light material? I think
6:31
you have an uphill battle on that
6:34
part, Mr. Jackson, but Commonwealth, what do
6:36
you say, if she testifies, what should
6:38
she be able to testify to? And
6:40
don't just say nothing, I'd want some
6:42
input. No, no, if the court were
6:44
permitted to test the doctor to testify, your
6:46
honor, what I would submit would be permissible
6:48
testimony from a legal standpoint,
6:51
as a factual questions in
6:54
regard to that. But from a legal
6:56
standpoint, I
6:58
think the court could permit her to testify
7:00
as to the injuries that she observed, her
7:03
work in history in that area,
7:06
observing prior injuries
7:08
related to animal attacks and
7:10
whatever consistency she believes that
7:13
they have with that. I do
7:15
not think it would be proper to allow this
7:17
witness to testify or opine anything about the
7:20
inconsistency with
7:23
regard to pedestrian injuries.
7:26
I don't think any proper foundation has been laid
7:28
for there, whether it be
7:30
through experiential knowledge
7:32
in relation to that or any
7:35
sort of specialized training or knowledge or
7:38
anything to do with that. Anything
7:41
from a forensic pathology or anatomical
7:43
pathology perspective, I think should also be out
7:45
of bounds and excluded with regard to this
7:48
witness. She's certainly a very experienced
7:50
emergency room physician. So
7:52
anything in relation to that, I
7:55
think it's permissible. But as far as the experience
7:58
when it comes to motor vehicles. crashes or
8:00
pedestrian crashes of which the court is well aware
8:02
there are a litany of different types
8:05
of interactions a pedestrian can have with
8:07
a motor vehicle in a collision sequence
8:10
and simply saying well there was no injury
8:12
so it couldn't have been a motor vehicle
8:15
collision is just plain wrong and
8:17
not backed up by science or anything else
8:20
that this witness can testify to from
8:22
the very limited experience she has in
8:25
that realm. So if the
8:27
witness were able or permitted by the court
8:29
to testify I would submit that
8:31
her testimony should be relegated to simply what
8:34
if any opinions her experience obviously and then
8:36
what if any opinions she draws with regard
8:39
to the causation of the injuries
8:41
on the right arm as
8:44
it pertains to consistency there
8:46
but I venture to guess that it's
8:48
likely that those are probably also going
8:50
to be in her opinion consistent with
8:52
many other causes beyond that if
8:55
she's being reasonable. All right Mr. Jackson. I'll
8:57
submit your honor I have
8:59
no issue with I have no issue
9:01
limiting her testimony to the animal attack
9:04
issue the dog attack issue I didn't
9:06
as court noted I didn't spend any
9:08
time I think I may have asked
9:10
one question to the motor vehicle incident
9:12
I have no problem with her testimony
9:14
to dog bite aspect and not motor
9:16
vehicle aspect I wasn't planning on going
9:18
into that aspect anyway I've got another
9:21
pathologist who's been exacted that. You did go
9:23
through it with her and it's on your
9:25
disclosure. It is but I have no
9:27
problem editing. So why
9:29
is it on the disclosure or what
9:31
the Commonwealth turned over that she viewed
9:33
all reports associated with Chloe's bite history
9:35
in the UC Davis DNA testing why
9:37
is that in there because we sit that
9:40
in a drop box we said everything in a drop box
9:42
and I assume that she reviewed it she must not have
9:44
seen it or opened it or reviewed it. That's
9:46
what we said to everything that's in the disclosures. If
9:49
she's permitted to testify you led her through
9:52
quite a bit today you won't be able
9:54
to I mean she struggled with
9:56
to what degree of certainty she held
9:58
an opinion she struggled that
36:00
they have to pass. And part of that
36:02
involves running the vehicle into a wall at
36:04
35 miles an hour, hitting it from behind
36:07
rollover type impacts. And they have these crash
36:09
test dummies in those vehicles. So we perform
36:11
a lot of testing for different cases and
36:13
situations where we put that dummy in the
36:15
vehicle and we evaluate the safety system, whether
36:18
it's the lap and shoulder belt, or if
36:20
it's the airbag, or the seat belt pretensioner,
36:23
determine how to make the car safer. And
36:25
part of that is looking at the force
36:27
that's exerted on that dummy. Because there's tolerance
36:29
values. We know how much force it takes
36:31
to cause specific injuries. So we want to
36:33
make sure in certain instances, at certain speeds
36:36
or impacts, that if someone's in
36:38
an accident, the force acting on, say, their
36:40
head or their neck or their chest is
36:42
going to be below these established tolerance values.
36:45
Speaking of how much force it takes to
36:47
cause an injury to a human body, have
36:49
you engaged in any testing or published in
36:51
the field of auto-pedestrian incidents? Yes,
36:54
I've been involved in a number of studies
36:56
where we're looking at auto-pedestrian type impacts. Again,
36:58
a lot of times we'll utilize the crash
37:01
test dummy, where we'll set it up and
37:03
we'll actually have it struck by different vehicles
37:05
or different objects. To look
37:07
at the response of the body, it's
37:09
very important if you're talking about an
37:11
auto-ped type impact, you have to know
37:13
the configuration of the pedestrian, the vehicle
37:16
where they hit on the vehicle, whether
37:18
it's a projection type impact, a wrap,
37:20
a fender vault. It really all depends
37:22
on how the person's positioned and the
37:24
amount of force and speed involved in
37:26
that type of an impact. And staying
37:28
with that for a second, that basic
37:30
subject matter, have you also engaged in
37:32
studies related to slips and falls where
37:34
somebody might fall from a standing position
37:36
and injure themselves, even through their head,
37:38
shoulders, whatever, and those kinds
37:40
of injury impacts? I have, yes. And one
37:42
of the issues we look at there is
37:45
a lot of people fall, especially elderly people.
37:47
So we want to look at what types
37:49
of forces are being produced. You look at
37:51
hip fractures. If you slip and fall backwards,
37:53
head fractures. So we're trying to determine how
37:55
to prevent those falls from happening and also
37:58
create devices or products. that can help actually
38:00
prevent injuries if someone does take a fall.
38:02
Dr. have you been retained as an expert
38:04
in the area of biochemical engineering and human
38:06
factors in the past? I have, yes sir.
38:09
May I approach your own? Yes.
38:12
Can you take a look at that document and tell me if you
38:14
recognize it? This is a list
38:16
of my deposition and trial testimony. Dr. I provided
38:18
that to the court this morning. Yes, I appreciate
38:21
it, I had a chance to look at it.
38:23
Okay, that's about, I don't wanna go through everything,
38:25
that's about a 14 page document, is that correct?
38:27
That's correct, yes. Let me just ask it this
38:30
way, how many times do you think you've been
38:32
qualified as an expert in field, or testified as
38:34
an expert in field of biomechanics, biomechanical engineering? I've
38:37
testified probably over 150 times in
38:39
numerous state, federal, civil, and criminal
38:41
courts throughout the country. Your Honor,
38:44
move to, I'm sorry, may
38:46
I approach? Yes. The purpose is, Your
38:48
Honor, I'll ask that this document be marked. Sure.
38:51
I just wanted to follow up on you. Thank you.
38:53
Have you ever testified in criminal court as
38:55
an expert in biomechanical engineering? I have, yes.
38:58
How recently have you testified in criminal
39:00
court? Well, actually, just recently I've testified
39:02
twice. The end of May, I think May 31st,
39:05
I testified in McKean County, Pennsylvania.
39:07
For the prosecution, it was a
39:09
case where the defendant was accused
39:11
of beating his girlfriend to death,
39:13
and basically said that she
39:15
fell down the steps. So my testimony
39:18
involved determining how her injuries occurred, and
39:20
that they were entirely inconsistent with what
39:22
would have happened during a stair fall.
39:24
What about another case? And then about
39:27
a week after that, around June 6th
39:29
or 7th, I testified in Cambria County,
39:31
Pennsylvania, again, for the prosecution, for another
39:33
homicide case where the defendant
39:35
was accused of essentially beating his wife
39:38
to death, and then said that she
39:40
actually fell backwards and struck her head,
39:42
caused a skull fracture on the side
39:44
of the sink. So my testimony, again,
39:46
pertained to looking at the injury mechanisms
39:48
and determining that his story of her
39:50
falling back and striking her head on
39:52
the sink, it's inconsistent with the injuries
39:55
and the type of force that would have been
39:57
exerted in that case. In both of those murder
40:00
cases, you were hired. retained by the prosecution
40:02
in the case, not by the defense, correct? That's
40:04
correct, yes. You made your opinions further into the
40:06
prosecution's case and she's not the defense case and
40:08
she's not. That's correct, yes. With regard to this
40:11
case, you were asked to look at several items.
40:13
We've already gone over those in other testimonies,
40:15
so I won't belabor that. You were asked to
40:17
look at several items, correct? I was, yes. Ultimately,
40:19
based on that series of information,
40:22
that universe of information that you were provided,
40:24
see if you could come to an opinion
40:26
inclusion concerning the incident before the court and
40:28
then correct? That's right, see
40:30
if I could determine what happened, how the injuries
40:32
occurred, and the events leading up to and during
40:34
that process. Without going into your conclusions and opinions,
40:36
were you able to come to your conclusions and
40:38
opinions to a reasonable scientific circumstance? I was, yes,
40:41
sir. You were not hired by the defense, by
40:43
me or anybody on the defense side in this
40:45
case, correct? That's correct, I was not. You were
40:47
not consulted with or hired by the Commonwealth either?
40:49
I was, that's correct, I was not. There was
40:51
a completely independent agency, is that right? I just
40:53
correct, yes, sir. Before this morning, have you and
40:55
I ever met? No, sir. And we've never talked
40:57
about, you and I have never talked about the
40:59
substance of your opinion, incorrect? We have not, that's
41:01
correct. You did reduce those opinions illusions in conjunction
41:03
with your team to a report, is that right?
41:05
I did, yes. And your understanding is that report
41:08
was made available both in the different, the defense,
41:10
and the Commonwealth in this case, is that right?
41:12
Yes, sir, that's correct. I have no... Okay, Mr.
41:14
Lally. Thank you, Your Honor. Good
41:20
guess. Just a few questions for you, sir.
41:23
Good afternoon. Good afternoon, sir. Now, with relation
41:25
to your work in this instance, in this
41:27
case, were there any limitations as far as
41:29
confidentiality or anything that were put on you or any
41:32
of your routines? What do you
41:34
mean by confidentiality? Of course, who, what, where,
41:36
and how you discuss what you did. Well,
41:39
yeah, I mean, certainly we just discussed with who
41:41
we were retained by in this case. I don't
41:43
believe I discussed the case with anybody else except
41:45
for my cohorts. We were also involved in the
41:47
case. And so my question, sir, more is geared
41:49
towards, at some point you were made aware that
41:51
your report and your findings were made available to
41:53
both the prosecution events in this case, correct? I
41:55
was made aware of that, yes, sir. And when
41:58
you were made aware of that, was... Is
42:00
there any limitations on given to you as
42:02
far as who you discussed your report, your
42:04
findings, or anything with? Yeah,
42:06
basically given the direction or the request
42:08
that I don't actually discuss the substance
42:11
of my opinions or my report with
42:13
anybody aside from who we were originally
42:15
retained to work for. Now, may I
42:17
approach your own question? Yes. Sir,
42:20
I am going to show you the first couple pages of
42:22
your report specifically right down the bottom. There's
42:24
a list of items 1 through 14. I ask you to do those with
42:26
one hand. Okay. Is that
42:28
the totality of information that you and
42:30
your firm were provided with in reference
42:33
to what you did in this
42:35
case? I believe it was, yes, sir. So
42:37
nothing beyond that list of 14 things did
42:39
you have occasion to look at, review, or
42:41
have any opportunity to see at
42:43
any time? Well, aside from we did do testing
42:45
in this case, so we did do other work.
42:47
Aside from your independent testing, I'm asking as far
42:49
as material provided by whoever employed you, that is
42:52
a sum in total of what you received, correct?
42:54
I believe that would be correct, yes, sir. And
42:56
did you personally review each of those 14 items?
43:00
And I don't fault you or your company for this, though,
43:02
but in the report there's a lot of we, though. What
43:04
I'm asking is, do you personally review each of those 14
43:06
items that are listed in that report? I
43:09
did personally review every, every bit and every page
43:11
of information that was provided in this case, yes,
43:13
sir. And to be clear, just to sort of
43:15
close the loop on this, when it comes to
43:17
those 14 items, were you allowed
43:19
to ask for any additional items, or was it just
43:21
you were limited to this is what you have, go
43:23
home and attend? There may have
43:25
been discussion about if there's other information
43:28
available, but I believe ultimately that we
43:30
rendered our opinions, obviously, just on this
43:32
specific information that was provided to us.
43:34
Now, as far as your opinion in
43:36
your report, when was that issue? February
43:39
12th of 2024. That
43:41
date on the top of the report, the report of February 12th,
43:43
2024, that's when you sent the
43:46
report to the people that attracted you to do
43:48
the analysis in the first. That's correct, yes, sir.
43:50
May I approach? Yes. Thanks,
43:53
sir. Now, am I correct? And
43:55
what I'm trying to ascertain here, doctor, is just
43:57
sort of the different roles that
43:59
you the other members of the team performed
44:02
a reference to this. Am I correct in
44:04
that your primary role in this pertained to
44:06
the sort of biomechanical engineering analysis of sustained
44:08
by Mr. O'Keefe? That would be correct, yes.
44:11
And not to put a final point on
44:13
it, but Dr. Wohl would have been more
44:15
responsible or issues related to the vehicle itself.
44:17
Generally speaking, yes, that would be correct. Obviously
44:20
there's some interaction between damaged vehicle and injuries
44:22
to Mr. O'Keefe, but as far as your
44:24
primary or any opinions contained within this report
44:26
pertaining to injuries to Mr. O'Keefe, those would
44:29
be your correct? Yes, any opinions or information
44:31
with respect to the injuries would be my
44:33
purview and my opinions in this matter, yes
44:35
sir. And can comment on the, so the,
44:38
any opinions related to damage to the motor
44:40
vehicle, those would be opinion, Dr. Wolf, is
44:42
that right? Well, to some
44:44
extent, I mean, certainly I would have
44:46
opinions as well based on the interaction
44:49
or alleged interaction between the body and
44:51
for instance, the vehicle in
44:53
this case, and what damage to both the
44:55
body as well as the vehicle you would
44:58
expect. So I think there's basically some overlap
45:00
between those issues. I wouldn't say that it's
45:02
a complete separation. And so, and
45:04
again, Dr. what your opinions or ultimate illusions
45:07
are, whether they be yours or Dr. Wolf's
45:09
are a combination too. It's all limited based
45:11
on the information and the evidence that you
45:13
see, correct? It certainly is based on the
45:15
information that we reviewed and listed in our
45:17
report, yes sir. Now, as
45:20
far as sort of a mandate or from the
45:22
agency that hired you, were you asked to answer
45:24
a specific question or were you asked to just
45:26
do an analysis based on what sent you or
45:29
how was that put to you as far as
45:31
what you were doing? There
45:33
was a specific request that we were
45:35
asked to perform and to evaluate in
45:38
this case. And specifically what I'm asking,
45:40
sir, is there's an analysis in there
45:42
of whether or not the
45:44
injuries to the back of Mr. Okeet's head
45:46
could have been caused from contact with the
45:48
vehicle. That is part of my analysis and
45:50
opinions, yes sir. And were you specifically asked
45:52
to address or answer that question by the
45:54
agency that hired you? That was one of
45:56
the questions I was specifically asked, yes. Anything
45:59
further? Mr. Jackson. Good to do, Anna.
46:01
Thank you. All right. So,
46:05
regarding the specific request, what were you
46:07
tasked to do specifically? So specifically, overall,
46:09
I was tasked from the biomechanical standpoint
46:12
to determine or see if it's possible
46:14
to determine how the injuries in this
46:16
case occurred. And part of that was
46:18
to determine whether the injuries, the head
46:21
injury and the arm injuries resulted from
46:23
contact with the Lexus in this case.
46:25
Okay. So regarding all of your prior
46:27
testimony, a good deal of it seems
46:30
to be in depositions. Any of those
46:32
in Massachusetts? There's a couple, I believe.
46:34
I've testified at trial in Massachusetts, Middlesex
46:36
Superior Court. Do you
46:38
know where that might be? I do want to
46:40
look at that. I can find it for you,
46:42
maybe a couple of months ago. Was it in
46:45
a criminal case or a civil case? Oh, it
46:47
was in civil case. I think,
46:49
let's see here, I think, yeah. So let's see,
46:51
there was one November 14th, 15th, 2023, Middlesex Superior
46:53
Court. That
46:57
was probably the most recent one. Okay, what number
46:59
is that on there if I wanted to look
47:01
at it? That is number 310. Thank
47:03
you. Is there another Massachusetts case?
47:06
Oh, I'm sure there are because I
47:08
know there's some from earlier in my
47:10
career. Let's see if I can find
47:12
one for you real quickly here. I'm
47:15
going to read this. Connecticut,
47:20
Louisiana. Oh,
47:24
there's 68. I'm
47:26
going to put you at Worcester. Worcester.
47:29
Worcester. Worcester. Is that
47:31
a civil or criminal case, doctor?
47:33
That is a civil case as well.
47:35
Okay. What year was that? Oh,
47:37
that one was 2012. Okay. Any
47:40
others that you think of or you see? There
47:43
may have been a couple others. I don't recall
47:45
off the top. All right, I'll go through it
47:47
more closely. I appreciate you saying this. Absolutely. All
47:49
right, any questions based on my questions? No, thank
47:51
you. All right, you are all set, sir. Thank
47:53
you very much. Thank you, Your Honor. All
48:00
right, so, Mr. Lally,
48:03
I will hear you on your motion. Now,
48:05
we didn't get into the ultimate opinions and
48:07
the basis for that opinion, but
48:09
I'll hear you on your motion. Your
48:12
Honor, essentially what Commonwealth was seeking and had
48:14
been seeking was just in reference to that
48:16
as far as who did what and who
48:18
was responsible for what and what were the
48:20
items reviewed and is that the totality of
48:22
it? There's a
48:24
date on the report, I don't know if that
48:26
was a date as far as when it was
48:28
filed, when it was, opinion was rendered, when that
48:30
was provided, what was provided to them in the
48:32
course of their analysis. So,
48:34
I think very simply what the Commonwealth
48:37
had been seeking for the most part was
48:39
covered today. Okay, all right, I
48:41
have some questions as to the
48:43
scope of the testimony of the
48:45
witnesses. So, Mr. Jackson,
48:47
you intend to have them testify consistently
48:50
with the report, everything covered in the
48:52
report and the conclusions, all four conclusions
48:54
in the report? Mr. Lally, what's your
48:56
take on this? I
48:59
do have an issue with number four. I don't think
49:01
they're qualified to testify to that. I don't think either
49:04
of them is qualified to testify to that. That's more
49:06
of an area of forensic pathology. What do you say
49:08
to that, Mr. Jackson? Number
49:10
four is their opinion is there's currently
49:12
insufficient evidence to determine the cause of
49:15
Mr. O'Keefe's skull or brain injuries or
49:17
the circumstances surrounding your death. That is
49:19
well within the scope of their expertise,
49:21
obviously. I don't think
49:23
I have to be this dead horse. They
49:25
are highly, highly qualified to renew all four
49:27
opinions and if the evidence in their opinion,
49:30
their expert opinion, to a legal degree of
49:32
science and uncertainty, which is what's evidence to
49:34
your body of court, is that there is
49:36
insufficient evidence to determine the cause of Mr.
49:38
O'Keefe's injuries, then that is an opinion
49:41
that they are well within scope, whether
49:44
they can testify. That's their opinion, that's
49:46
their conclusion. Mr. Lally is gonna have
49:48
an expert, Trooper Paul, who's going to
49:50
differ, has differed in that opinion, so
49:52
be it. And I would have
49:54
kept it out, remember? I would have kept out
49:57
any medical part had there been an objection. And
49:59
when you object- I sustain the objection.
50:01
I think we're talking about two different things.
50:03
Apples and Warren just, I didn't, that's
50:05
not, Peter Paul's opinion is that his injury
50:08
or his injuries, I think he
50:10
said variously that it was blunt force could have come
50:12
from the curb, or it was blunt force because the
50:14
road is blunt. That was his opinion
50:16
and he was taken to it. This is
50:18
contrary to that. Both of these individuals have
50:20
come to the conclusion of the opinion, but the
50:22
evidence is insufficient to support that determination. It's
50:25
well within their purview to testify on it. I don't know if
50:27
I may, I don't think that's their actual opinion. I
50:30
initially didn't think of it in these terms as it's phrased
50:32
on the cover page of the report. If you look at
50:34
the actual opinion and the findings. I was looking at the
50:36
last page, are they the same on the front and the
50:38
back? It's, I think the front is a
50:40
little more definitive and concerning.
50:42
The back I think more as to it's
50:44
consistent with the whole multitude of different things.
50:47
So the fact that they, I don't really
50:49
think that's an opinion at all, to be honest with
50:51
you. All right, I'll take a look at this more
50:53
closely, give you a decision Thursday. All
50:55
right, I did not expect it to go this
50:57
quickly. We could have had the jury here, but
50:59
I'm sure you all could use the afternoon to
51:01
prepare. All right, Mr. Lally, let me know Thursday
51:03
if you need, are you ready to
51:06
go forward, at least with your case on Thursday? Oh, yes,
51:08
sure. Let me know Thursday if you
51:10
need additional time. If
51:12
I let these witnesses, if I let Dr.
51:14
Russell testify how that impacts
51:16
our schedule. Absolutely. All right,
51:18
but I don't want that to be a concern of
51:20
yours, how it impacts the schedule. That's my concern, I
51:23
just need to know. All right, so
51:25
anything else? Not for the common. I think that's it,
51:27
thank you. Okay, we'll see you Thursday morning. Good, all
51:29
