Judge Canone has shown time & time again throughout this case she is overtly biased in favour of the prosecution. She is unprofessional in her tone towards the defence.

[@Rowgue51]

@@moey.10 No. They're not doing it for two reasons. First because he's a member of the government's investigative team that is assigned to a position in an accident reconstruction unit. He's automatically going to be qualified as an expert by the court regardless of how incompetent he actually is at doing that job. Secondly Daubert motions in general are a desperation move and good attorneys generally don't bother with them unless it's absolutely necessary, because their trial prep time is far too valuable to waste on arguing motions and having hearings on things you have no real expectation that you're possibly going to prevail on. The average layperson understands the concepts at hand better than Trooper Paul does, and it's clear that he's an idiot. His testimony in the first trial was relatively brief in comparison to the other witnesses and there isn't really much else they could get into with him. Whatever stories he wants to conjure up in his direct are easily dealt with on cross. Having said that I wouldn't count on Trooper Paul even being a witness in the new trial. The new prosecutor is just as slimy as Lally was, but he's not nearly as stupid. If he wants any chance of actually getting a guilty verdict in the case he's going to want to replace all the "experts" they used in the first trial with actual experts.

[@ESPHMacD]

For all that they were trying to discredit Dr Russel by saying what she was testifying to was forensic odontology, they sure are relying on it heavily as some proof it couldn't have been Chloe. They don't have to prove it was Chloe specifically to prove it wasn't a vehicle, a material fact to the CW's theory.

[@annhank128]

Also, matching a specific dog to a specific dog bite, is no longer deemed reliable. This WAS touched upon a bit in the first trial. I believe this goes for matching human bites as well. Talk about Hank, over and over stating Dr. Russell’s methodologies a “soft science,” Getting a “mold” of Chloe’s mouth, is stupid and moot. Even Lally knew this in the first trial. I can’t understand the logic of getting a mold of Chloe. Also, the swabs of JOK shirt are pointless IMO. They should have swabbed his arm lacerations. Not fabric. Makes zero sense.

@@Vlue2000 Sounds like Judge Canone was hoping she would bring that up. Identifying a particular dog by examining a dog bite IS NOT POSSIBLE, yet some "experts" will try to push it as real science. Canone could have disqualified her right there. But this expert doesn't do junk science.

I cant believe this Judge is allowed to try this case again. She is clearly on the side of the state. She biased and it seems unfair.

Of course Dr. Russell meets all 5 boxes! She’s a very intelligent, educated woman. Why is the woman in the CW so worried about intelligent smart women?

​I may be wrong, so feel free to correct me. I was of the understanding that it was Bev's brother who defended Chris Albert's drink driving accident causing injury or death to a pedestrian which got him a slap on the wrist was what connected Bev to this case.

​@@4MAGAyou are mixing up two separate cases. Paul O'Keefe was involved in a DUI leaving an elderly man with disabilities. Judge not involved in this case. The judge's brother represented Chris Albert (brother of Brian and father of Colin) in a DUI resulting in a man's death. He only served 6 months

[@gratefulmom5781]

I was so worried she wouldn't be let in! Thank goodness! It seems like complete shade thrown to me, but laying out the weaker points is a good heads up for the defense, I would imagine. They can shore up the weak areas and also address, as you mentioned, the fact that sample collection was corrupted every step of the way in the chain of protocol.

[@cheryl9931]

I don’t understand why she hasn’t been removed as judge on this case. She is biased for the prosecution!!! And it is continuing!!!!

i really don't understand the additional commentary when it wasn't needed , and especially when it's not something that the judge took into consideration when making the call , it's like saying yes i agree she is a credible witness BUT I also agree (with the CW) that she isn't right about what she says, VERY strange

[@deborahhanley2756]

Dr. Russell had to be able to identify hundreds or thousands of dog bites BEFORE she could treat them. Cononne’s write up in the Motion misses the obvious. As far as dog DNA on John’s clothing, it was pig DNA probably transmitted by a dog who had eaten a chew possibly containing pig product and leaving some particles in the dog’s saliva. However, Dr. Russell stipulated that the round tears in the sleeve were caused by dog’s teeth. Two plus two equals four. Also at the Dauber hearing, Brennan indicated the sweater holes could have come from “shattered glass. A) I believe there was no shattered glass and B) this required a side bar to clarify there could only be plastic from the broken tail light. This too is false as the police had not had the time to break the light cover and plant the plastic in the snow. Slim to zero chance this is what caused the holes. I often sense that Judge Connone likes to pat her boys on the head so they don’t feel bad while on the stand. She did this countless of times with the Canton residents brought in to testify. Either she’s trying to win a popularity contest so she can keep her job or she’s influencing the jury with the hope they will vote against Karen Read. Possibly both. In either case, her behavior regularly reflects her lack of understanding of how to conduct a fair trial. She’s been on the bench working with the same cast of characters for way too long. She and Lally can finish each other’s sentences. In the meantime, the truth needs to come out and she needs to stop the coddling. I was very irritated they did not put another judge on the bench to replace her.

I think the reason why the dog bites are important to the defense is not because they think the dog killed John, but it lends credence to the idea that John was inside the house and therefore Karen couldn't have hit John with her car when she drove off. This also means that if the prosecution can show it's not Chloe, and not any GS, the defense can no longer use this to claim John was inside.
