JA is enjoying sparring with this witness...

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:39 am

Where in your book is there a protocol to open skull in skeletal case?

by cherylz Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:40 am

Both Mason and Baez are smirking along w/ their girl.

by artgal16 Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:41 am

Why doesnt he just ask him what he FOUND when he opened the skull? Because he found nothing!

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:41 am

Dr. Spitz is getting angry again as Ashton asks him about protocol

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:42 am

Believe Ashton just mentioned Vass having contributed a chapter to Spitz's book as well?

by artgal16 Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:42 am

I cant wait to see those smirks wiped off their faces when she is found guilty

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:43 am

What he found was like debris showing the the skull was laying on its left side during decomp.

by lisette Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:45 am

And that's why you're here, right Dr. Spitz? (High profile case)

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:46 am

Ashton: this only violates how you think it should be done correct? No.

by lisette Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:46 am

Way to go, JA...Get him all riled up!

by cherylz Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:46 am

Don't you just love JA? He is full of conviction and passion.

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:47 am

High profile case should be done differently than case where no one knows the person? WS: No, b/c everyone wants to know.

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:48 am

cherylz wrote:Don't you just love JA? He is full of conviction and passion.

Yes I do. I hope is he careful here because Dr is elderly and the jury will have a soft spot for him.

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:49 am

Ashton asks if he is only concerned with publicity?

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:50 am

Ashton starts listing the television interviews Dr. Spitz has given regarding the KC case.

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:50 am

Don't recall discuss theories about brain dust, tape, skull w/Detroit TV reporter? Fell asleep as it was being aired, he says.

by artgal16 Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:50 am

Of what great significance is the fact that her head layed on the left side ?
Is there anything that helps with cause of death or no cause of death
due to the position of how the skull layed?

by lisette Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:51 am

Spitz may have a stroke if JA keeps at him! Spitz doesn't remember these media interviews? Credibility is out the window, if I'm on the jury...

by artgal16 Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:54 am

They are going to have to recall Dr G in my opinion to rebut this testimony
While Spitz is not clear - Dr G needs to go over some of these points to make it clear.

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:56 am

WS: Yes, it's sediment from brain decomposing. Couldn't be from sediment from dirty water as it sits underwater?

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 10:58 am

Interior of skull rinsed w/saline by DrG, aware of that? Dr G swished it around and fished out whatever there.

by lisette Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:00 am

Good point, JA! Dr. G. washing the skull with saline explains why there's no sediment on the other side of the skull...Not that the skull was lying on the left side...

by Heike Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:01 am

Here is the link to JP's dressing down of Baez this morning!

I very much doubt that Spitz will be asked to testify in another case!

by artgal16 Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:02 am

Someone ask how you spell kerffufle!

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:03 am

Spitz says it can't be dirt sediment because it wouldn't have been able to get inside skull

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:04 am

Ashton asks if hair would slough off and fall toward left, back side. WS: Adipocere keeps hair together, stays put on skull

by artgal16 Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:05 am

The entire contents of the skull if he bothered to open it and also broke it while doing so should then have been analyised - but they should still have the sediment so why cant they analyse it now?

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:05 am

Hair would be on skull after skin, tissue completely decomposed? WS: Some of it (indicates way it would slide down on skull)

by lisette Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:06 am

Time to act upset, KC!!

by lisette Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:08 am

KC, go ahead and look...Don't you want to see the results of what you did to "that little girl"?

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:08 am

Ashton asks him to look at Caylee's skull/remains. Agree the vast majority of hair has fallen toward back, not to side?

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:12 am

He did not exam the actual hair mass in this case.

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:13 am

WS: Adipocere is sticky, held it. JA: Did you examine hair? No. So don't know if it was sticky? I know b/c have exam other hair

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:14 am

JA: Your theory about duct tape is that applied to skull after skeletonized? WS: After skin had deteriorated, decomposed.

by raine1953 Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:16 am

Unbelievable. I'm shocked that even Bozo would put this man on the stand.

by lisette Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:16 am

Didn't he say that the adipocere would become as sticky as glue and when it dried, it could cause the hair to stick to the skull? Couldn't that be just as true of the duct tape, Dr. Spitz!?

by cherylz Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:17 am

Gotcha!!

by cherylz Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:19 am

Spitz didn't see this coming!!

by Guest Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:21 am

Ashton says when skull was found it was in anatomical position (upright)!

by lisette Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:24 am

If I were on the jury, I would stand up and yell: "Enough already!! We all know she's guilty!!"

by artgal16 Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:27 am

Wow Dr Spitz is telling Ashton that the ME's office
has rearranged the hair for the purpose of photographing it - to what purpose?

by lisette Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:27 am

Boy, he is really mad at Dr. G. for not letting him go to her autopsy!! Now he is accusing her of rearranging the skull for the pictures...

by cherylz Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:27 am

JA has every reason IMO to bring this guy down and what he is implicating. God rest his soul. Another one that fell victim to the evil witch.

by lisette Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:29 am

I think JA should have questioned him further on his feelings about not being allowed at the first autopsy...I think it would come out clearly that he resented that, and the jury could infer that is one of the reasons for his testimony today.

by artgal16 Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:30 am

Wesh reporting that Ashton puts his book down loudly at the table when he finishes - jurors look at him Very frustrating - they need to get Dr G back on later

by lisette Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:32 am

I'm sure that Dr. G would have looked for that discoloration, indicating suffocation...As he said, it is not always present.

by lisette Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:33 am

I'm sure that Dr. G will be back...

by lisette Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:34 am

It is only logical that the skull would have to be moved from the time it was discovered at the scene until pictures were taken of it at the ME's office...Big deal!

by artgal16 Sat Jun 18, 2011 11:35 am

Jury dismissed now what?
