brauchler knows he is speaking to simple minds in the jury box. Keepin it real. -
-
Dr Gur is just amazing!,,, love her performance on this cross!,,
-
-
AC does need to calm down a little. He has good questions but needs to be less confrontational.
-
this is going to be the smack down of the century. Here BS is about to get squashed
-
And another Battleship is going down.... This is worse than the battle of midway....
-
I wonder what language she is cursing at him in in her brain.....
-
Neither of them is backing down. It's like a game of chicken. They are both going full steam ahead - who will finally swerve?
-
The judge made his hallmark reaction to when King wants to approach the bench, "Ah... ok?"
-
Well, we knew the cross would be entertaining. lol He's good! I like him.
-
-
-
I'm usually pro PT but, I just don't like him. I don't like when ANYONE, smirks or shrugs at another person. And that's what this is going to come down to, who the jury likes best. We all know he's guilty. It's going to be peer pressure and which attorney they liked best. IMO
-
And this is where she is losing creditability. Seems like she was definitely rehearsed by the DT!
-
Anica, will the replay include those moments when the feeds were down? Thanks so much.
-
It is the PT's job to to ? the dr. AC is very good at getting the witnesses of their prepared scripts.
-
-
I don't believe he's being antagonistic at all. He's doing his job. He's cross examining all of the details she's testified to directly under Mr. King. It may look nasty, but I personally believe King pretty much gave her her own answers. She's intelligent, most definitely. Why is it difficult to answer yes or no?
-
Is there such a thing as a witness being excused by. The judge?
-
Dr Gur is a great witness! Holding her own definitely - she is obviously a great scientist and was offended when GB tried to belittle her work. Good on her for standing up for herself - defending your work is very important for scientists and is what we all have to do. To be honest she is making GB look very uneducated. -
Its like determining gender by sexual genitals, when the whole being isn't necessary male or female. Gender doesn't always follow medical choice to make you one or other of the sexes.
-
Orman can't contain himself, LOL!! He has to whisper to AC!!
-
-
now do the slam on two years later after being in solitary
or one year later -
Mr. Brauchler: "Here is some additional rope, Dr. Gur, please help yourself."
-
I'm having a real problem with her testimony. She's fighting every question by the DA instead of answering simply and directly... She's losing credibility! She's not defending a dissertation - just answer and move on. Focus -

Dr. Gur: "I did not make the diagnosis based [only] on the MRI." - Quote

-
My opinion of Brauchler has gone WAY downhill since the prosecution's had their say. He is unnecessarily condescending and rude to these doctors. Gur is doing a great job not allowing him to steamroll her though. She's an absolutely fascinating woman.
-
-
I think we are seeing AC's gray hairs increase during Dr. Gur's testimony. Ha!
-

Brauchler: "Had we done one of those [MRIs] in December of 2012, that we would have a better chance of identifying how long the brain had been like that?"
Dr. Gur agrees. Also agrees it would have been better to do two MRIs, one back then and another in 2015. - Quote

B. is lacking in the intellectual argument. He didn't do his homework, then blamed it on the defense. He had her CV all the time. He took an easy way and dragged victims through the court when we knew that the trial was not about these people.
-
I admire GB's intelligence but I do no respect his manner in court.
-
@ruby completely agreed. Brauchler is so unbearably arrogant and condescending. I'm sure the jury sees right through this clown. JH will be found not guilty no doubt in my mind.
-
His reference to the pace of the questioning going into next week was quite rude.

Brauchler says Dr. Gur has testified in previous cases that she videotapes her interviews.
"I thought it was a good idea to do it... it was set up that way... and I was happy to do it," Gur answers. - Quote

Dr. Gur: "I can't answer yes or no, I'm sorry. If you give me two sentences..." - Quote
-
It would not be helpful to videotape a patient with schizophrenia, Dr. Gur said.
-
Hi there. New here. Love all that I'm learning. ..thanks to all. 'Can't watch at all tomorrow...anyone predict when Dr. Gur will be done? So sad if I will miss AC's last recross...
