Day One: "DNA 101"

"The highlight of the day was the shower,... I try to spend as much time there as possible."

Out, out, damn spot.

[Howlin]

Yeah, but he does have TV.........LOL.

[Howlin]

That's a neat site.

Oh, okay. That makes sense. Conflict comes up, one side (in this case the prosecution) backs off, there's no more conflict, so there's nothing for the court to decide.

I'm not saying this is a permanent "back-off" by the prosecution. I'm sure they are getting ready to defend their wiretaps, etc., at a later date.

But anyway, this no longer looks like it means there will NECESSARILY be a different judge at trial. I know where Nancy Grace got that idea, though--generally, the trial judge is different from the prelim judge. I guess we shouldn't sweat it. If they keep Girolami, fine. If they don't, maybe they'll just get another sensible, cautious judge.

[Devil_Anse]

Well, your explanation as to why he loves the shower is certainly less gross than the one that was running through my mind, lol.

[Jackie-O]

LOL..yours and mine both!

[clouda]

LOL!

Mine too. I was wondering if he was alone during those LONG showers.

Soap on a rope.

generally, the trial judge is different from the prelim judge.

That's true, I was surprised to read that Girolami would be keeping it.

Also from the minutes, Judge accepts the FBI expert DNA's testimony pending the defense expert on the subject, motion to strike is pending. Any bets that no expert appears for the defense? Seems like it would be a terrible waste of money to hire an expert that could be easily refuted. Especially with no jury to confuse...

[Jackie-O]

Good thing I'm just drinking water right now, my puter just got sprayed! ;0)

[Jackie-O]

Where the heck are ya Maggs??
Anybody know??

DNA's testimony

Actually, it's the expert's testimony...duh!

Any DNA who tries to testify will be escorted out by the baliff.

[Sandylapper]

Didn't she tell us last week that she would be "out of pocket" this week?

[Jackie-O]

That's right, I knew someone had the answer!

[Spunky]

"Don't go "back" just scroll down and fix your post in the new "reply" window."

Sorry for late reply but needed to get some laundry done.

I will check it out now.

Yippee! It works.

BLUSH! BLUSH! :-( I guess I should explore more.

[Sandylapper]

Guess there's no new info yet coming out of the courtroom. We're bogged down here with the lockdown in DC. ROFL Two women had Halloween costumes with them, and a toy gun was in a backpack!

[Spunky]

Thanks for the link Velveeta.

Although I feel like a dunce. I was thinking KNDU was a talk radio station and that Ted Rowlands was the talk radio host.

Wasn't there a local radio station that everyone was talking about hearing in the beginning of this case?

Or was that in the Westerfield case?

[Yaelle]

Any DNA who tries to testify will be escorted out by the baliff.

Geragos: "I object to this twisted testimony!"

Gloria: "Are you female DNA? If so, you need my card. You aren't safe leaving home without it!"

Henry Lee: "Look how it splattuh. Sum ting wong."

Kobe: "It aint mine!"

Scaught: "Pssst. DNA! Over here! Come sniff this Clorox bottle..."

[RGSpincich]

LOL! You're killing me!

MSNBC - Live. DNA expert still being crossed.

[RGSpincich]

Now they think DNA testimony will take the rest of today. After the lunch break, Geragos for another hour and then redirect for a couple of hours.

[RGSpincich]

CTV - Update Geragos grilling FBI expert. His objections are that this particular DNA testing is: 1. An exclusionary process. 2. Process is debated in scientific community.

CTV guy says that Amy or the maid may make it in today.
