Because the State has UNLIMITED RESOURCES against its citizens. Try understanding the Constitution and your Bill of Rights.

To think he's dumb or not as sharp, would be a mistake. I grew up around hundreds of old southern white men, that kind of act like they're ditzy, so others will underestimate them. He must be pretty smart to have attained the position he's in, state senator and one of the best attorneys in the state. One of the scary things about these old dudes, is that you can't really tell when they're mad at you. They keep that affable tone that doesn't sound angry. To lose your cool, act out, yell at someone in public, etc... is something we are trained from the cradle to NOT do. Gracious and affable. So when you see an old southern gentleman appear angry or raise their voice, they're breaking our southern genteel rules and are really mad. I wasn't good at it I guess, I embarrassed my family often. But it was the 80s lol. When I graduated college, I joined the Navy. I'd never really been around people from the north. Elders make sure we know Yankees think we're dumb and inbred. Oh, and country. People from up north think southern accents imply dumb, country redneck. While I shouldn't have run off and joined the Navy, I'm glad I did. Put 1200 people on a ship, that are from every state in the U.S., even foreign nationals that we accept from the UK, Philippines, etc, you learn how they really feel about us, I learned to appreciate our differences. So some of the comments I've seen on the trial that say things about Pootie, make me think they've never been around southerners. So my point is, Pootie, could be acting irritated when all he really wants to do is discredit this witness and ruffle his feathers. I think he kind of muddied the waters a little. Don't you? He will not be found guilty. Or at least have a hung jury. There's gonna be someone on the jury that has an aunt, sister or close friend thats connected to the Murdaughs. Or dated one lol. Or they have dirt on someone. That's another thing we're taught from the cradle - collect information. You never know when you might need the leverage. Sorry for the lengthy post.

The witness is not answering the questions. Instead, he is trying to relay a narrative. His narrative. If the witness was impartial, he would simply answer the questions. The defense attorney is doing a superb job in my opinion. He is showing that the witness is being impartial.

Well I mean, it’s a collection of blood in the dura mater. So yeah, it’s not an intracerebral hemorrhage, as it’s occurring between the outer layer of the brain and the surface of the brain- but it can still cause significant damage to the brain via swelling (leading to increased ICP) and possibly a subsequent midline shift. If a non-medical professional calls it a brain bleed, that’s honestly not a huge deal, as a lot of SDH’s do result in some degree of brain damage- just like other types of bleeds that we ultimately classify as ‘brain bleeds’ (EH, SAH, ICH, IPH). Nitpicking the layers of the brain isn’t really necessary when explaining it to a non-medical professional (I say this as an RN in a Neuro ICU for the last 13 years). We can all understand the basic concept, which is that a collection of blood within the skull, whether it be in the epidural space, subdural space, subarachnoid space, etc. can ultimately lead to brain damage if bad enough. I’m not defending Alex, I think he’s guilty, but I don’t think anyone should be shot in the foot for calling an SDH a brain bleed.

Defense is being a smartass to this witness when it's not necessary bc he is fully cooperating w/the defense.
