I love that you number the vids. Very very helpful following the trial & going back to rewatch and review. You do a great job & the best in my opinion.

I wonder what the jury are thinking at this stage! 🤔 This is the 1st time I've heard about the marks on Johns shoe!

Thanks for uploading, editing & thumbnailing new subjects 🗝

Every single thing, Hank struck out on. I think Bederow described him as "pissy." And he is... for no reason. I get if a witness gets combative, I understand getting aggressive in response, but it's like every witness, he automatically goes into attack mode and it falls flat when the witness responds professionally. He even treats his own witnesses like crap sometimes. Also, Wolfe's direct testimony was probably the most captivating of any witness I've ever seen, and by all accounts, the jury was eating it up. So wtf are you doing, Hank? This is embarrassing.

Hank’s tone, condescension and overall demeanor is off putting and offensive. I commend all the defense witnesses for keeping it professional. That would be tough. Thanks again Trial Channel for all your hard work! ❤

I think maybe because it came out with Ian Wiffan and Jessica Hyde testimony that his phone moved that 80 feet towards the house?

Hank Brennan is very hard to like.

I'm trying to upvote this channel, but it won't let me.

Hank Brennan did not show one fact in all that nonsense. He spent 99.9 percent of cross try to negate Dr. Wolfe and his expertise. And did horrible at it. Made Hank look like an amateur

Does anyone have the list of allegations against Judge Cannone??

What's the point of a crash test dummy if it doesn't imitate the results of an action on a human body.

@bunch_o_racket 1 year ago

This is so stupid. Using a smaller, lighter crash dummy would've done MORE damage to the dummy, if there was enough force to damage John at all. It would've proved the CW's case, plus some.

Dr Wolf is a PhD he has a higher degree than you do

Sorry Hank I don't think anyone in the world thinks it matters what size of the shirt that person is wearing when a 6,000 lb vehicle hits you. If Hank goes back and watches this he has to be so embarrassed.

@bunch_o_racket 1 year ago

What is the damn question? Is he supposed to list every paper and book he's ever read about using crash test dummies for impact testing? So everything he ever studied in college and in his work for this organisation he works for?

There was no collision. The Commonwealth is picking at straws here their case is flawed from the start and I guarantee you the jury will was and has seen this and are fully aware of what’s happening..

I predict the jury to to be no more than one hour and come back with a not guilty verdict no-brainer !

Then I would anticipate the Commonwealth to investigate the people responsible for the death of this officer and put Brian Higgins at the top of their list .
