Fiddlesticks! Susan Polk's expert witness, the self-employed pathologist, has somehow lost his notes on his autopsy-in-abstentia (from which he concluded that Polk's husband died from heart failure, not the 27 stab wounds Polk is on trial for). No notes means no cross-examination by the prosecution -- a violation of the trial procedure. The pathologist believes he might have left the notes on the airplane, or maybe the maid took them from his hotel room. Or maybe he forgot them altogether and left them at home. The problem? No one is home but the dog.

Court's adjourned for the weekend.
He should have said the dog ate them.

I haven't been following the trial at all, but I've totally been enjoying your updates, mudpuppie. The whole thing sounds truly bizarre.

Thanks for keeping us posted, pupino! I check up whenever you post something. It's such a strange, strange situation.

Hey, I do what I can to assuage my intense jealousy at not being the reporter in the courtroom. Man, I so want that job.

The dog ate my autopsy-in-abstentia notes!

This trial is sad and bizarre. I feel for Susan Polk but come on now, she stabbed the guy 27 times.

I think she should be put in a mental hospital to try and undo the damage her husband did to her.

Damn! The Law & Order folks poached the story before the rent-a-pathologist showed up!
