The Cross Examination of Ian Whiffin continues with focusing on what was and wasn't included. Whiffin came under scrutiny, particularly when they admitted to not knowing the freezer's baseline temperature, the exact date of when he created his report or what the freezing temperature is in Fahrenheit. During Re-Direct, Whiffin demonstrated a tool he created for evaluating cell phone data. Surprisingly, Jen McCabe took the stand while Special Prosecutor, Hank Brennan, upped the drama by asking questions like, "And then what happened that changed everything?" Jen's testimony is clearer and more direct than in the previous trial. There have been some things that are not consistent with what she said in the first trial and we'll see how that will be confronted during Cross Examination. The Judge cut off Jen McCabe's story when Karen, Kerry Roberts and her found John O'Keefe's body in the snow and she was doing chest compressions to try to revive him. We'll pick up the rest of Direct Examination on Day 7. After the Jury was dismissed, Judge Cannone heard Brennan's Motion to Preclude ARCCA from Testifying New Opinions. The Judge Ruled in the Defense's favor and granted ARCCA to testify and enter in their report by May 7th though it wasn't without a tongue lashing. The Judge cited the Defendant's right to a fair trial as paramount even though she found that the Defense's Discovery Violations are ambushing the Prosecution's case. The Judge expects counsel comply with all rulings, rules of the court, all rules of professional conduct and no more nonsense!
