Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's pretty much just eliminated any credibility of anything coming from his office ?

prosecution just keeps on digging and digging.

Just curious what type of lawyer you are? Meaning what field of law did you study/currently practice?

Civil litigation, mostly commercial disputes and personal injury cases.

I've said this before, but I think it's worth repeating now: the prosecution isn't doing a "bad job." The problem is that the prosecution doesn't have much to work with.

You know, it's cases like these that suggest maybe we should called CSI (and it's clones) "science fiction" rather than "procedural drama"? The "procedure" part is slightly in question at the moment.

I'm thinking evidence of a lack of blood on the hands is fucked.
edit: he ignores anything except injury or disease...

Somebody check the Las Vegas line on whether this witness is going to testify that George Zimmerman is not guilty...

Witness really fighting with the defense. Interesting angle. Don't take photos so noone can second guess.

Best Joke: Someone needs to check Dr. Bao's Toxicology report.

I know, but that's anything but the popular perception. This just might be one of the most high profile examples in ages.

So it's confirmed that Bao is the last state witness?

It's fine to have these categories, people just need to realize it's a TV show, it's connection to real life can be minimal.

Part of me hopes that all this public interest in trials results in an increased awareness as to how these sorts of things go, but then I realize that's probably a bit idealistic

Not absolutely, but commentary has been that they should have ended with mother and brother instead of this witness.
On another note, this guy is probably coming off worse than Rachel Jeantel.

For reference, what West is doing with Bao right now is usually what happens in criminal cases. The State typically has a fairly solid case, and all that the Defense can do is poke holes here and there to create little pockets of doubt.
