Well me too. That's the one where you said you didn't understand my question. I was saying exactly that. IF they did not have a qualified person follow up and IF this was truly an unqualified person, then that would not be something that would sit lightly with me, and I'd have to wonder why not just as you say now.That's my point is that IF it can be done, why haven't they? There is no logical reason why they haven't if they can, unless they just don't want a qualified person to run those tests that a person's life depends on.
She was hysterical at the crime scene and officer body cam state they were going to section her, which means to put a 72 hour hold; involuntary admit. LE took her to the ER who then drew her blood as a standard protocol. She was not under arrest at this time. She was not held and was released from the ER.So she WAS at hospital because arrested?
She was hysterical and taken and now can't remember ever dropping him off?
How is it you know the conversation with her parents never happened? Because they say it didn't? That wouldn't be good enough for me.
I'm looking at this with a colder or more outside eye.
She was under arrest you say in the first sentence but in the last her BAC was not taken because of the type of charge? What was the charge then?
I can tell you honestly if a juror all the things I am asking here is what I would need answers to. and the questions would continue and I'd need answers for all things as much as can be provided.
The defense has been disputing the credibility of the report due to the technician not being qualified to make an opinion.Well me too. That's the one where you said you didn't understand my question.

Do they dispute whether qualified or not? I mean I haven't seen fact one way or another of whether the person is. Just people saying it is the case which is fine but not fact. It is disputed?
And I don't blame them one little bit, no matter if I was convinced she was guilty or not.The defense has been disputing the credibility of the report due to the technician not being qualified to make an opinion.
So initially they weren't "after her" weren't ordering a BAC ever basically and so on?She was hysterical at the crime scene and officer body cam state they were going to section her, which means to put a 72 hour hold; involuntary admit. LE took her to the ER who then drew her blood as a standard protocol. She was not under arrest at this time. She was not held and was released from the ER.
Her initial arrest was February 2, 2022.
I apologize for the confusion.
The parents would be a good source to verify if the conversation happened, wouldn't they?So initially they weren't "after her" weren't ordering a BAC ever basically and so on?
I forget already what was said about the parents other than some converstion that you said never happened. And I don't get how anyone can know that for a fact.
I looked back and you did say she was at the hospital because she was arrested. And more. Yeah color me confused. Still.
But always and forever.
So there's no consensus whether credible, qualified or not? Defense says so, what does prosecution say? I've pretty much I feel been told here the tech is not qualified as if fact but it is starting to seem as if only the defense claims that which doesn't make it fact or decided for me. And I don't think would for any juror either. Is the prosecution trying to qualify the tech as an expert? That makes a difference too imo.The defense has been disputing the credibility of the report due to the technician not being qualified to make an opinion.
No, why would anyone think that? Sounds to me like they said one thing and then tried to take it back. Of course I guess two officers could be lying right from the get go before now I am told any arrest and when they just took her for help to hospital and a hold due to being hysterical and no BAC or anything. Why would that make that up at that point? Doesn't make any sense. I'm guessing later parents claimed she never said it but I don't know and admit that. Even without knowing though it all makes no sense to pull such then.The parents would be a good source to verify if the conversation happened, wouldn't they?
IF the prosecution is covering for the cops in this one, why would they be saying that? It seems easy enough for them to show credentials and prove qualifications and be done with this. It is not asking too much and is a very important piece for the actual claim of the prosecution and the burden of on the prosecution to prove their case. It's a very valid question.So there's no consensus whether credible, qualified or not? Defense says so, what does prosecution say?

As always,
I'd have to be up more on this particular bit of it than I am but a lot of witnesses can do a report or give testimony that aren't the bona fide experts both sides bring in. LE, a doctor, a lab tech, a teacher, depending on the subject matter, etc. Just saying I don't know the entire context of his or what the argument is by the other side? I've watched so much defense b.s. in the last year that I am not up for a one sided thing where many out there assume that is some tried or even argued motion in any case Maybe you know this and I don't. But I don't know it. Even though I've watched a ton on this, most of it is people taking up the defense blitz. Are you up on all of it?IF the prosecution is covering for the cops in this one, why would they be saying that?

So just to get it clear she was on some type of psychiatric hold but not under arrest? And as far as facts not in evidence, does that mean something--i.e, she felt she was under arrest? Just trying to get clear on it as I don't know.I apologize for misstating facts in evidence. Karen Read was not under arrest when she was taken to the hospital. She was later released and went to her parents home.
The body cam footage offered the statement of one officer that said he was going to put her on a hold however that did not occur. She was not under arrest at this time. The warrant for her first arrest was signed off on and executed on February 2nd.So just to get it clear she was on some type of psychiatric hold but not under arrest?

So she was neither on a psych hold nor under any arrest? Did she agree to go to hospital then when hysterical? I thought she was on a 72 hour hold or some such. And the tests you said they did run was she agreeable to? The ones that weren't BAC but were others you named?The body cam footage offered the statement of one officer that said he was going to put her on a hold however that did not occur.

Correct. She not on a psych hold nor under arrest. The labs are part of the SOP for an ER intake and she agreed to those.So she was neither on a psych hold nor under any arrest?

Okay so I have that straight, it seems. Lol, hard to be sure at times.Correct. She not on a psych hold nor under arrest. The labs are part of the SOP for an ER intake and she agreed to those.
It will be an interesting case.
7-8 weeksOkay so I have that straight, it seems. Lol, hard to be sure at times.
I know this is a top one you follow and cuz, etc. And today is the big day right with the start of jury selection? I probably won't be able to keep up and hope to at least here in the posts and not even sure of that . How long do they predict for this one for time, I forget? Trial I mean?
One thing I would note with this cleared up hospital stay, if she was not on a psych hold, nor under arrest, and agreed to these labs, why is it any surprise no BAC was ordered? Under what power at that point could one have been ordered then? Or not even refused? Did she refuse one?
That's crazy from anything I can see. No trial should take that long short of many defendants, many crimes allowed in or history, and so on. I hope they don't bore the jury nor wear them out.7-8 weeks
129 witness ... the jury will definitely have to pay attentionThat's crazy from anything I can see. No trial should take that long short of many defendants, many crimes allowed in or history, and so on. I hope they don't bore the jury nor wear them out.
