4/15/13
I was late.
This is a Daubert hearing, it is to qualify an expert witness in court to let them testify. No jury is in the room (Thanks Harlette)
How awkward is this? |
Jodi is sitting in the juror box. Travis' family is behind her.
Brian Neuimeister is on the witness stand.
Vogue, Vogue, Vogue |
HA. I wonder if Nurmi got his law degree from a cracker jack box? |
Must be so hard for Travis' family. |
I like it when the lights are down low. |
EX 1 is admitted-It's data stuff. Brian was able to see a picture in Travis' eyeball.
EX 2- an enlarged picture of Travis' eyeball. Admitted in.
EX 2 |
EX 3 |
EX 4-the outline Brian saw in his lab. Admitted in-
EX 4 |
At least Brian keeps calling this "Homicide"
Just when we thought we have seen it all. Now we have a Teletubby drawing! |
JM is up
How many times have you testified? A dozen in Maricopa.
He only enhanced the audio in this Jodi case, not pictures. JM says the motivation for testifying before was to be "qualified" in this area.
Approach
The last time Brian testified was for Juan's office on another case (LOL) He's just been retained by Juan's office again for another case coming up. He's also testified about videos.
I don't know who this dude was... but he sure thought Nurmi was funny! |
JM pulls out EX 3 without the lines.
Isn't it true we could show it to other people, and they could disagree with you? Correct.
Isn't there a test, like a cancer test, where we could see how you got the lines? Good equipment.
These fake glasses are really bugging the hell out of me. I'm trying to write in my |
JM has no further questions
Nurmi is back up
Nurmi is showing EX 4 and talking about how the lab has better equipment to see the "person" in the eyeball.
Brian says that you can not see the person, and you can't identify the person in the eyeball.
Brian steps down.
Now the attorneys argue.
I never thought I would be arguing over an eyeball picture. |
JM says he seen a dog in the eyeball with floppy ears and a stick. (HAHAHAHA)
Now Nurmi is saying the state is withholding evidence. Nurmi thinks JM has a skewed view. Nurmi is now talking about the Doc. JM is going to bring up. Nurmi wants to bring the jury to the lab.
Nurmi thinks this picture proves Jodi was telling the truth (Huh)
Nurmi is so hot. I wonder if he's Mormon?? He's not to smart though. He actually believes me? HA |
JM says he sees a German Shepherd. Woof
Misconduct motion
Nurmi wants to play something for the court. Nurmi says he did not intimate witnesses.
We are so tried of the drama queen. Is it wrong that we wouldn't be hurt if she drank battery acid tonight? |
JM objects b/c it has nothing to do with signing of autographs.
Nurmi says they are all one in the same. I guess Nurmi is saying JM is mean to witnesses in chambers, and he wants to play it.
JM wants ruling on what Ms Wong testified to.
Nurmi says it's all cumulative. Nurmi is mad b/c JM has a fan club. Nurmi says JM is "The great one"
JM says Nurmi is to worried about the social media does. JM says the defense is grandstanding, and they want to piggyback other stuff on it. JM is saying Nurmi is wasting time. JM says the defense just wants to add more pennies to their bill.
Judge is ruling. Mistrial denied.
Nurmi is now bringing up stuff JM did to Alyce is closed chambers. Nurmi is fixing to play something. They are playing an audio of JM with Dr. Sameuls. (Jesus Christ-not the dr. again) Dr said that Jodi was depressed. (Sorry, I'm not hearing anything that JM says that is mean) (So far it all sounds like BS)
That "doc" is just butt hurt at me He's a fraud. |
Now an oral argument between Nurmi and JM.
EX 1 was admitted in. Nurmi is going on about how mean JM is to doc. Nurmi thinks he's a bully.
JM is talking now. JM says Alyce should be upset based on what was recovered. JM says there is an ethical problem with the defense attorneys. JM says Doc was evasive. JM says Doc was a failure. JM says he is not responsible for any media stuff. JM is bringing up how Jodi is tweeting and how she violates the courts rules. State wants to court to make her stop. JM brings up how Jodi talks about him on twitter.
We are the legal team..up shit creek without a paddle. |
Nurmi calls it a shell game.( Nurmi hasn't bought up if the twitter account is actually Jodi's) Nurmi thinks JM has disrespected the doc for not calling him doc.
Judge- state's conduct-no evidence- denied. Judge finds that JM was not in any way outside the bounds.
Twitter account- Nurmi says she has freedom of speech rights. Nurmi thinks JM needs to provide evidence.
JM- JM is just bringing it to the court's attention. Judge says she is not going to take any action. She says it can go through the sheriff's office.
There is a 1:15 sealed court with Alyce today.
Recess until 1:15
They come back around 3:15 after a very long delay
The jury enters
The judge says:
Jodi was not holding a knife or gun in her hands when EX 159 was taken. Both state and defense agree.
EX 159 |
I knew it was going to be a bad day when we didn't match. |
OMG! Your daily summaries are hilarious & accurate!
ReplyDeleteI've watched a couple of days worth of full testimony and then read your summaries for those days. You really got everything in - in about 1/1000th of the time! And you crack me up with your very brief but totally true to what happened descriptions!! Good job!
Thank you. Glad you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteReading these almost 2 years later and nothing has changed. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteBut yes, you have a wonderful sense of humor and I'm sorry I missed your blog as it happened. ;-)
