Jeff going to tick the Judge off , if he isnt careful 

Go carefully Jeff, you don't want to blow it.

Glasgow is pretty top rank in the UK to acquire a degree.

Just discussing at the moment how they equate to American ones.

They are pretty much equivalent, some prefer the UK Degree. Depends where you are wanting to work it seems. If you want to work in the UK you basically have to start at year 1 in the UK. 

He has an American accent with a Scottish lilt - I like it 

So do I   >looks around <

agreed - there can be some dislike for the want of a better word, with UK degrees because few of them these days are 4 or 5 years like the USA however, with most medical degrees or scientific ones always you always postgrad into something else so it's irrelevant that a UK degree is generally only 3 years 

I think Sims has had her questions ready for the chemist, but they are not accepting them , only toxicology . She is making a bit of a doo doo of it !

i wish the judge would say. JUST STOP ASKING HIM STUFF HE CANT ANSWER

She has a very mellow voice, not unlikeable. Reminds me of someone, i can't put my finger on at the moment. 

I don't think so TBH - 99% of his objections have been sustained!

I am sure she is a lovely person, but making a muck of this ! I can almost hear her shouting for help!

I think she speaks beautifully. Lovely voice.

Yes its fine now, at the beginning Judge was sighing heavily! 

Enough is enough , surely ??? What on earth is Sims doing ? She is worse than Baez, what a team.

Bet the jury are glad its lunchtime ! 
Bye for now  

Jeff`s got every right to challenge his area of expertise. 

JP has sustained almost all of his objections. 

I would agree with that but some of my friends trying to get work in community colleges have had trouble getting their degrees recognised 

I remember when I was doing my A levels back in the 80s we had an American high school student on our course and she had to drop down to O level cos she couldn't cope   but I fear UK GCSEs, and A levels have been dumbed down and our degrees will follow if we're not careful 

Did anyone pick up what Bill said about this witness having bagage?

Something about a laboratory he had, not following procedures or something?

I know you're right Scotty, I'm just a worrier.

I'll be back later.

I keep losing my WFTV feed so I missed it 

Mark Lippman, the Anthony family attorney, will hold press conference after court today. 

 Skylark 

Don`t worry - Jeff is on the ball.  

a first in Maths!!!!!   *gulp*  I only passed my GCSE Maths a year ago - I had an equivalence exam to get into university   I'm so not mathematically minded.

I'm surprised they don't have an organisation like NARIC which the UK uses to convert other countries degrees!

I tend to believe (and I lived in New York for a few years) that Americans still have this air of being bigger and better than everyone else.  It is diminishing especially in American people who have lived overseas or who visit other countries a lot  but it's almost as your OH has said that they are lazy and can't be bothered to find out.  If I had a pound for every time an American said "I don't understand" to me while I lived there, I'd be a very rich woman 

I ought to add that I love Americans   they're funny in quaint kind of way 

If it isn't rugby I don't want to know 

besides baseball is a game of rounders and American football is the game where they don't use their feet    I'll get  my coat 

Thanks Scotty, you always make me  feel better 

Good    

Dr. Barry Logan back on the stand.

Jeff crossing now - watch out Barry.  

Me too!  

  hi Scotty, Roxan and all coming in x

Oooooh will they open the can? I love Jeff when he's angry!

Defence's Dorothy Simms made a good point there about the testing   

Have to say I don't like the way Ashton speaks to defence witnesses - he's coming across again as rude and bullish 

Bill said that Jeff would need to be very tough in his cross-examination of this witness.

Evening everyone.

Hi Pengy, no i didnt like the way he banged those items down , very rude 

I think we'll still be here at Christmas if it carries on at this pace. I feel so sorry for the jurors - it must be a little bit like being imprisoned for them too.

thing is (with me anyway)    if you're a skillful lawyer, you can get your point across by chipping away at the evidence or calling in to question their findings but sometimes JA (and I love him too) gets too hot under the collar and loses professional courtesy.  Linda never speaks to the defence witnesses like that    I know some American viewers may like him giving and I quote " a whole lot of whup ass" but the jury could see this as bullying.

@ Roxan - I feel for this Doctor as he's effectively being asked to testify to things he's not really an expert in if he's speciality is chemistry 

Yes , thats the problem here ..........

These Sims ads are driving me INSANE!!!!!!!

Sorry, got distracted by a phone call - ^^^^ that's a fair point, Pengy.
