Could King be dragging this out so GB does not have a time to cross before the end of the day? King would likely not want GB's cross to be on the jury's mind all night.
I find the pace with which Dr.Gur speaks to be approriate in that it allows the jury to really hear the whole message. Some witnesses speak so fast, and our brains have not even processed what was said. King is adjustng his questioning based on her cues. This cannot be rushed. For a bilingual doctor to use complex ideas and terms so easily is impressive. The PT spent many weeks on their case, and to complain about a few days for the DT seems unfair.
I'm most interested to hear how she determined that he was legally insane at the time of the commission of the crime. That's what matters here, so I really want to hear her logical progression to that conclusion.
I think that King was shaken by the fact she was not board certified and it has taken until now for him to get back on track. Dr Gru is well qualified and knowledgeable but her lack of how to present in a courtroom is problematic. No matter how smart and intelligent you are, if you don't have skill set to relay that information like both Dr Reid and Dr Manguso did for the jury, it not going to go over well. The reason to become a Forensic expert it also to learn how to present testimony that communicates your point of view to both attorneys, jurors and the judge.
She is just educating the jury about the disease right now. When I treat my patients, they want me to explain the disease and how it came about... so I am happy to do that...this is what she is doing first. Then she will get to specifics when it is time.
yes, she is the source for the making of the development of forensics. She is giving the "tap-root" that maintains the "whole" which forensics is dependent.
