KABOOM!!!!! The ME now feels the marijuana did effect TM. The jury can't hear that????????????????????????????

1:39 p.m.
Dr. Bao says he changed his opinion about three weeks ago.

West asks if it was based on additional research.

Dr. Bao says it is based on a similar case done three weeks ago.

He says he must explain opinion to him.

Dr. Bao explains that someone that never changes their opinion never learns.

West asks if Dr. Bao met or spoke with the state attorney’s office.

Dr. Bao says yesterday and the only other talk was to the secretary about the time to testify.

He says he met with De la Rionda at his office yesterday.

West asks if Dr. Bao talked about his testimony for today.
Dr. Bao says yes, for about 40 minutes.

He says he can’t remember if he told him about changing his opinion.

West asks if he thinks it was an important matter.

He says yes.

He says he cannot answer a question he is not sure about. He says the purpose of the meeting was to determine what photos would be shown.

Dr. Bao says he doesn’t remember saying his opinion changed because that is not what the meeting was about.

1:32 p.m.
West says he is conducting a limited inquiry. He asks about a handout used during a previous deposition in which he said Martin was alive for one to three minutes.

Maybe the height/length measurement is not as far off as it appears from viewing the photos. Remember, his hood made him look taller and some sneakers these days add an inch or two. Does anyone recall seeing TM™'s sneakers?

Time to break out the denied photo Mr Rumpole.

1:48 p.m.
West asks about the THC found in Martin’s tests. He says his notes say something different about his opinion.

Last fall he says the level of marijuana would have not had an effect on Martin.

Dr. Bao says he did research and talked to another expert, a friend in Washington State – Dr. Brooks, a biologist.

West asks if he consulted studies about the impairment of marijuana levels.

Dr. Bao says yes.

Judge Nelson asks West to stay on topic for a Richardson hearing.

He asks when he changed his mind.

Dr. Bao says it could have been in the last 60 days when he pulled the file to prepare for his testimony.

West asks if he mentioned it to De la Rionda.

Dr. Bao says he mentioned the marijuana toxicology report is part of the autopsy report. He says De la Rionda told him they may not talk about it in court.

Dr. Bao says he did not tell De la Rionda about the change.

West asks if he spoke with any other member of the state attorney’s office where the notion of marijuana came up.

Dr. Bao says no.

West finishes questioning. She asks if there are any other witnesses.

West resumes questioning.

He asks, clarifying when his opinion changed about how long Martin would have been alive after the gunshot and if marijuana would have had an

affect on him.

Judge Nelson asks him to stick to the Richardson hearing. She asks if the state has any witnesses.

De la Rionda shows the court his note showing he thought the answer would be one to three minutes.

Judge Nelson rules there was no Richardson violation.

She says the previous toxicology ruling stands.

West resumes questioning.

Doesn't the ME's office have a toxicologist? This ME did not out for opinions from experts to add to the autopsy report. He just researches himself. This is incredible!!!!

This is an incomplete autopsy report?

Does Judge Deb hate immigrants and ESL'ers?

'Cause whenever the defense is trying to help them express themselves exactly, she jumps on them with a tone of voice with undercurrents of "if they can't speak English properly, they'll just have to suffer the consequences, now let's move along".

OK, where is this ME going to work next?

WTG state... object to something that didn't happen so as to draw jury's attention to toxicology. When they don't hear anything further on tox, they may fill in the blank.

This ia a farce... Bao is in full CYA mode with "I remember nothing" yet clearly at time he DOES remember and almost gives it away

Are you kidding? LOL

As long as Corey remains in office, this is the perfect person to have in that job. It isn't easy to find a professional who is so lacking in integrity and skill that they are willing to play the fool in front of the world.

And another one bites the dust. Poor Trayborgs must be twisting in the their computer chairs

I agree, this is just unbelievable. It's almost like he's trying to do the defense's job by discrediting himself.

Wow. Bao just admitted he has no idea how long TM™ lived (suffering) but was told some other guy in another case lived for 10 minutes. SMH

Did he just say he could move a little bit and make some noise?
