LIVE COURT | MA. v. Karen Read Daubert Hearing Day 2

Medical provider here… replay crew, still watching Brennan’s cross. What’s frustrating for me is that there is a reason there is no “standard methodology.” How often do we have a criminal case that just so happens to have injuries allegedly caused by a dog that are NOT fatal, that could be unrelated to the cause of death? The only scenario I can think of where this type of circumstance might happen is someone being pursued by police and K-9, and just so happen to also have non-fatal dog injuries and a separate cause for death unrelated to the dog. In such a case, the medical examiner would likely have more information about the circumstances. Imo, there is not a single person more qualified than Dr. Russell to determine MVA vs dog for these injuries. Just so happened to be a forensic pathologist, an ER physician encountering both, a physician rounding on injuries for patients in police custody with a higher rate of dog injuries, and a particular interest in that area of study. I can’t wait to see argument by defense and defense chew the prosecution “experts” to pieces with Brennan’s own arguments.

I hate it when cars with sharp teeth try to bite you.

They should do this kind of hearing for the cw's "expert" trooper paul... took Jackson about a minute to show that he is completely clueless. I'm offended that a real expert has to go through this extensive hearing and others are just accepted

Dr Russell deserves a medal! She stood her ground so well

As a MA taxpayer, this is infuriating!!!

Couple curiosities I have... 1) Does Dr. Russell regret getting involved now? Lol 2) Has Brennan pissed her off enough that she's going to make it her mission to create a credited program/process that's adopted by medical field so no one can disrespect her or another medical expert as he did today? Lol EDIT: "Methodology"

The dog is good but My fave bit is still that bloke driving to a military base to dispose of phones before they had to give them in

I'm in the middle of cross, and the most frustrating thing about this is seeing one of the most qualified people in this trial be relentlessly questioned and (almost) berated. They are really afraid of her testimony since they must mock it every single time.

If I were a Massachusetts resident, I'd be so pissed my tax dollars are going to this case. After watching the first case and these hearings, it doesn't feel like a prosecution of Karen; it seems like the prosecution is trying to defend themselves for the disrespectful "investigation" they did for John, not prosecute. He deserved better.

It wouldnt take much for me to retort "If a huge dog burst into this room and bit you, who would you ask for help from?"
