OMG stop it, I may die from being unable to quit laughing this morning. I just never have seen that one before. I know many of the differences in our English but KERB? Never seen. I asked yesterday if they have an air quality test for here, probably shouldn't have, maybe they are now piping in laughing gas in this place. LOL.Me too now,
Can't believe my use of kerb is so fricking funny........
Grammar these day is your mum's mum.
Yes nothing wrong with a bit of humor or humour--do I have the right spelling?
And it is gruesome and there is a victim and his family and a lot of people seem to forget that. It's the whole KR show. Sickening.
Ok so Turtleboy is Toadface from now on. LMAO.
He worked accidents, yeah; I think he was with the Canton PD.
LOL, can't keep it straight. But fine by me!

I'll repeat, Brennan is good. And she (KR) and the D are a bit scared. I know not all of us can do it at all times, but I watched him in pretrial hearings. And watched the D and the new D guy. It was a VERY good move to bring him in. And what is said here, yes, the facts fit not the crazy D story.This link is a good recap of this week's testimonies. There is a good diagram of the temperature of JOs phone over time.
As week 2 of the Karen Read retrial wraps up, here are the biggest takeaways
Week two of testimonies in the second trial of Karen Read has wrapped up. Here are some significant courtroom moments.
Battery temperature data and the ‘Hos long to die in cold’ Google search.
Brennan urged jurors during opening statements to pay attention to the data presented at trial, especially GPS, health and battery data from O’Keefe’s cellphone.
The battery data presented at trial this week was new, but how much will jurors weigh that testimony in their decision?

Whiffin analyzed the battery temperature of O’Keefe’s phone and said it dropped to 72 degrees at 12:37 a.m. That would be around roughly six minutes after Read and O’Keefe arrived at 34 Fairview Road, according to testimony at the last trial.
At 1:36 a.m., the battery temperature dropped to 50 degrees, and then hours later, fell to 43 degrees by 6 a.m. By 6:14 a.m., the temperature reached 37 degrees.
That means O’Keefe’s cellphone battery temperature dropped 35 degrees in about 5 hours and 37 minutes.
Whiffin told jurors he conducted a test where he put an iPhone in a freezer, and that the battery dropped about 50 degrees in 15 minutes.
In a second test, Whiffin put the phone outside when the temperature was about 34 degrees, and the battery dropped 31 degrees in less than 15 minutes.
Alessi pointed out that O’Keefe’s phone only dropped 11 degrees in 15 minutes.
But Whiffin defended his testing, saying he didn’t know what condition O’Keefe’s phone was found in — whether it was in a pocket or a case, or something else. The testing proved that ambient temperature would affect a battery, he said.
Jurors also heard about one of the most contested issues in the case: a Google search for “hos long to die in cold,” with “how” misspelled.
When Massachusetts State Police used Cellebrite for an extraction of McCabe’s phone, it showed a 2:27 a.m. timestamp for the “hos long to die in cold” Google search, according to Whiffin.
Whiffen went into great detail during direct examination with Brennan and explained how timestamps were recorded on McCabe’s iPhone based on when she opened the tab, not the time she made the Google search. The expert showed how McCabe had made other Google searches about a youth sports team around 2:27 a.m.
The record for the search appeared as deleted, however, and Whiffin said he didn’t have an explanation for how that happened. He said he was “confident” the search was not deleted by user interaction.
Under questioning from Alessi, Whiffin said Cellebrite had updated its software so that the 2:27 a.m. search no longer appears. Whiffin agreed that a separate cellphone extraction tool used by law enforcement still registers the 2:27 a.m. time stamp on McCabe’s phone.
Whiffin offered lengthy testimony over two days.It
LOL they should have put a human dummy in a cannon and shot that at the back of the SUV at 24 mph.
LOL. Stop it. Making me chuckle. Not seriously but yeah been a very odd day, week for that matter. Not all good either.
Well most of the evidence they will need to consider eg the phone, taillight pieces and broken cocktail glass found that morning at the scene and the subsequent matching of the tailight pieces to KR's vehicle parked at her parents before they took it to the sallyport is all valid evidence and two officers were present so they may not need him necessarily.
Well you put up three different responses in your post. We all differed in our responses a bit and it was a good question too.
Good points. I just don't know though, may be wise to get ahead of it by the P before it is D turn. Or perhaps good not not to him and act like he is not that important until if and when D puts him up. Might sound like a broken record a bit but Brennan is good. He's up on it all and the sh*t in the first case and you name it. He can put u heckuva known argument in 15 minutes to a half hour and then the D guy takes 6 for instance in the pretrial hearing to say the same things over and over that a good atty would take again 1/2 for at most maybe and bores all to death over time.
Kinda had to call you out on that one. Well at least you noticed what I was getting at LMAO.
