That's a refuge of an expert who's been caught in cross, and he knows the judge isn't buying what he's selling at that point, 'cause the judge twice jumped in and, uh, and told him basically the answer.
Uh, and I think there was a, a moment, it was very brief, where, and I think it was at the beginning, it was maybe the direct examination, where he answered the question "Okay" to the prosecutors, where the judge was like, "I'm sorry, i- is that your answer?" She said something like, "This is a legal term." And he's like, "Okay." And, and it was just v- very odd.
And, and I think that if, if we're gonna compare the expert witnesses here, Mark, the defense brought Dr. Philip Resnick.
