Yup "opinions" is the operative word there and I've been waiting for it to be pointed out as its important that they remember that all he has based it off is his opinions and no other expert witnesses to corroborate

Just to reassure you BNE did actually say something similar to this in his summing up in court. He said something along the lines of ‘the defence are going to try and convince you that these babies were extremely poorly and in a lot worse condition than they actually were, I ask you to remember the evidence that has been given by witnesses and medical experts,’. I am paraphrasing but it was definitely along them lines.I think it would’ve been good if BNE could have pre-empted BM by saying “he’s going to imply these babies were at death’s door but here are the statistics to show expected survival rates for babies of this gestation without major congenital abnormalities. And here are the commonest complaints they will overcome on the way…” That way the jury would be focused on the fact most babies fight through these challenges, including the ones BM has tried to pass off as signs of decline when LL wasn’t there.
The chest drain stuff is just being manipulated to bamboozle the jury imo, same as the stoma care.
I have had a few wobbles this week wondering if BM has played it well enough to the jury to give reasonable doubt. Just got to hope they can see the wood for the trees. When I was feeling pessimistic I was wondering about op hummingbird. I just can’t see them funding three more years of investigation and another trial if she gets NG this time. I think it’s all or nothing.
oh and there I was thinking it was a nod to SherlockIt stands for Home Office Large Major Enquiry System so I think they'll all be on there.
There's a job description online for a HOLMES supervisor for op hummingbird
She said if air embolus was the cause, Melanie Taylor was responsible
I've been waiting a week for him to say this. His opinions - nothing more.The judge says Mr Myers "repeatedly expressed his opinions" on the merits of the expert evidence, questioning and challenging them. He says that is his right, but it is up to the jury to determine the reliability of the expert evidence.
Aww ...he is definitely showing us he's the man so far....he is the last person now, who can be a voice for those babies and families and so far, he's doing a bloody good jobJudge Goss is 70, he has 5 children so is probably a Grandad. I bet he's a really bloody good Grandad too!
I'm sure this case has touched his heart like it has us.
Was just reading about a time where he dismissed the jury and tried the case alone following jury intimidation am bribery. This was in February 2017.
He's the man!
