besides he said memories are not facts and he only deals in facts.

I personally liked that he would not allow anyone to put words in his mouth and would only testify to the facts of the case. But I will admit it didn't play well on tv. We just aren't use to seeing someone with his ethical integrity.

Re: Dr. Bao testimony, ME in Zimmerman trial [View all] Duer 157099 Jul 2013 OP

Because he sees lots of bodies, many from crimes? Because he keeps meticulous records? WinkyDink Jul 2013 #1

Did he say that? Duer 157099 Jul 2013 #2

He did explain he had to many cases to have a memory and... Little Star Jul 2013 #3

You say ethical integrity, I say Duer 157099 Jul 2013 #4

He said he could change his opinion every hour LittleBlue Jul 2013 #5

Exactly. For example, Duer 157099 Jul 2013 #6

He testified that there was zero evidence on TM's hands for which to take a photo. ME's do not take WinkyDink Jul 2013 #8

Is "zero evidence on TM's hands" a FACT or an OPINION? Duer 157099 Jul 2013 #9

I edited my above post to that, but to reiterate: The ME's observations are, by law, accepted as WinkyDink Jul 2013 #11

OK. Was it a "fact" 6 months ago that TM could have lived from 1-3 minutes after the shot? Duer 157099 Jul 2013 #12

The 1-3 minutes comment was based upon his original opinion. avebury Jul 2013 #14

Ummm not sure that is accurate Duer 157099 Jul 2013 #15

I was listening to the ME's avebury Jul 2013 #16

I was listening as well Duer 157099 Jul 2013 #17

I would say fact because if there were something avebury Jul 2013 #13

And, his notes pintobean Jul 2013 #7

He said it would be impossible for him to remember Marrah_G Jul 2013 #10

I watched Dr. Bao's entire testimony and I think he was one of the best witnesses truth2power Jul 2013 #18
