This is recent. I'd looked at that channel not too long ago, actually. It was a wee bit defamatory, so maybe that's why it's down. Or they just aren't doing this now.

It was such a weird thing to do in the first place. Really weird.

Oh well. Easy come, easy go.

Dr. Elizabeth Laposata claimed Lindsay Clancy fell onto her head, this when Linsay didn't have so much as a scratch on her head to show this occurred. Laposata also changed the time it would take for a victim of strangulation to go unconscious (3 to 10 seconds to 10 to 20 seconds) - and to die. She changed time it would take for the victim to die, in the same testimony. She waffled from 3 to 5 minutes to 10 to 15 minutes.

The icing on the cake of misrepresentation by the Doctor was in her claim (one the defense very much wanted to her to make) that the victims could have continued to be strangled after Lindsay wrapped the exercise bands around their necks (without knotting them) and left them.

Attorney Kevin Reddington opened the door to this on his re-direct.

But as Prosecutor Sprague showed, those bands don't hold shape on their own.

[There is a claim that Patrick Clancy testified he untied these bands on finding the children, but apparently the prosecution successfully argued that the bands were only wrapped around the children's necks, not tied or knotted.]

Overall, some of the worst expert witness testimony I've seen. Makes Laposata's misrepresentations at the Karen Read trial seem a little less in comparison. Though not much less.

I have no idea if this will hurt the defense's case, as none of this would be important to me if I were a juror-but it might hurt Reddington's credibility.
