The autopsy was altered, first of all. Second, the reports from the ER were withheld from the defense until the very, very end. By that I mean, after the defense had rested their case in chief.

Then suddenly overnight, the state clamored for a rebuttal case to add additional evidence that had been "misplaced." And the state brought back that odious (medically speaking but was quite grandfatherly in ho he directly addressed the jury) to tesify as to that suddenly "found" report that was represented as from the ME's office. To add BS on top of BS, defense counsel, Nelson, received notice of this "new evidence" 45 minutes before court was in session for the day. Nelson's expert was in the air flying home because they had rested, unaware of these new reports.

To Judge Cahill's very small credit, he ruled that the witness, the execrable Dr. Tobin, was ordered that he could not discuss the new ME's report since it was not in evidence.

What Cahill should have done was send the jury out and order the state to immediately call the ME, Baker, to testify how this supposed report was overlooked. Grilled his butt over it. But he did not. He allowed Tobin to testify but not about that report.

At that point, Black (private lawyer working with the state) requested a fifteen minute recess do he could 'advise' his expert witness of that limitation. (Reading between the lines, not what the planned testimony was going to be.)

Even then, Tobin takes the stand and within two minutes starts talking about that banned 'report.'

Should have been a mistrial right there
