3rd & 7 37yd

find it interesting this guy never appointed by court or hired by prosecution teams -- insanity dr for hire

@Phil Can the judge reject this witness as an expert?

by Lori Butterfield 6/25/2015 3:35:05 PM
@LoriButterfield: I suppose he could, but is it likely? I doubt it

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 3:35:28 PM
Reid was really good, but doesn't have the neurology background and that is huge. It combines the behavior that Reid was an expert in with the biology of the brain and reasons behind that behavior.

by Niki C 6/25/2015 3:35:30 PM
King moves for admission of Dr. Woodcock as an expert

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 3:35:39 PM
Dr Reid was hired after DT decided to go for not guilty by reason of insanity

by mandi 6/25/2015 3:35:40 PM
- Objection
Prosecution object. bench conference

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 3:36:02 PM
Is Holmes clean shaven today?

by LB 6/25/2015 3:36:02 PM
IMO Dr. Reid trumps Woodcock.

by Kristle 6/25/2015 3:37:52 PM
@LB - Seems to be.

by Angela Freeman 6/25/2015 3:37:53 PM
@mandi do you know how long after he was caught did he finally plea no guilty by reason of insanity

by bob 6/25/2015 3:37:54 PM
LB...of course JH is clean shaven today...DT tactic...to make JH look "innocent"...:(

by Robin 6/25/2015 3:37:55 PM
@LB he seems to be

by Della (Me) 6/25/2015 3:37:56 PM
DA Brauchler going to cross-examine Dr. Woodcock about his background prior to decision on if he is an expert

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 3:38:38 PM
@niki this guy's neurology background deals with brain injury-- his words.. jh never claimed to have brain injury. they haven't qualified him for jack, IMHO

by blue 6/25/2015 3:38:38 PM
I imagine they wanted him to look pitiful during the PT's case.

by Angela Freeman 6/25/2015 3:38:39 PM
@LB - I didn't even notice that but yes he is. I wonder if his lawyers suggested that

by Brandi 6/25/2015 3:38:40 PM
@LB he came to court yesterday like that.

by JG 6/25/2015 3:38:41 PM
@Kristie--you mean to tell me you would have Col Sanders over Woody?

by Tired 6/25/2015 3:39:23 PM
think Resnick for PT on rebuttal will be key

by mandi 6/25/2015 3:39:25 PM
The DT's assistant against the wall reminds me of Demi Moores daughter, Rumor, is that her name.

by Kristle 6/25/2015 3:39:33 PM
Exactly what I thought: Making him look younger, more innocent, less threatening.

by LB 6/25/2015 3:39:50 PM
Here's the website DA Brauchler is referencing:

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 3:40:16 PM
Website says Neurology and not psychiatry

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 3:40:24 PM
key word again, FORENSIC.

by NT8 6/25/2015 3:40:34 PM
JH has been clean shaven before, can't see what great difference that would make.

by AntiquatedEyes 6/25/2015 3:41:14 PM
@LB he was clean shaved in court yesterday

by LG 6/25/2015 3:41:15 PM
Oooh ouch.

by Kristle 6/25/2015 3:42:00 PM
Go AC!!!

by LG 6/25/2015 3:42:01 PM
Woodcock confirms he testifies more often in deposition than trial

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 3:42:23 PM
Uh-oh, dun-dun-done!!!

by Stephany 6/25/2015 3:42:25 PM
SLAM!!!! AC drives to the buckert!!

Go AC! Go AC!

by Kristle 6/25/2015 3:42:27 PM
AC coming out and not holding any punches! Like it.

by Tired 6/25/2015 3:42:28 PM
Omg this DA is GOOD

by ME 6/25/2015 3:42:29 PM
AC scoring big points on Dr not being qualified

by mandi 6/25/2015 3:42:30 PM
he's so mean to these witness' give em a break, im sure they dont want to be there either.

by Morgan 6/25/2015 3:42:31 PM
Yay AC....!!

by ME 6/25/2015 3:42:34 PM
DA says Woodcock testified 25 times since 2010. 15 of those as an expert for a plaintiff in a civil case

by Phil Tenser 6/25/2015 3:42:58 PM
Hmmm.....I think AC is freezing this witness!

by Stephany 6/25/2015 3:42:59 PM
I wonder if the DT had other doctors that said he was sane but didn't call them To testify

by Suzanne 6/25/2015 3:43:00 PM
Objection. Badgering the witness.
