Now, after a direct examination, Cross started up on Wednesday the 28th. I've talked before about witnesses who are tough to watch on cross. Witnesses who just never want to give the other side an inch. Jen McCabe comes to mind, Yurid Yukonik is another one, but Dr. Welcher might just take the cake for most difficult cross.

He and Alessi were going in circles, he would snap at Alessi, at one point he refused to close his laptop during questioning, and he would respond in this kind of snotty, I'm better than you kind of way. It was a lot. Now, like I've said before, I don't necessarily think this means he's lying.

And in fact, if you lean towards more the prosecution side, you actually might think it's a good thing that the witnesses are really resistant to the defense. But my gosh, is it difficult to listen to.

And in my opinion, witnesses who are more willing to consider the other side's point of view, even if that means conceding some of their points, I think those witnesses come across as more forthcoming and trustworthy. I don't know if that's how the jury will see it, but that's my view. I think of Dr. Scordi Bello, Ian Whiffen to some extent, most people from the crime lab.

Those to me were prosecution witnesses who, yes, they stood by their findings, but they were willing to admit, you know, the areas of ambiguity or other possibilities, at least to some extent. And I personally found them more credible than Jen, than Yuri, and definitely than Dr. Welcher. So after all that, what actually happened on Cross?

Well, first, Alessi took issue with Welcher's claim that he, quote, doesn't have a dog in this fight because it turns out that his firm was paid almost $400,000 by the prosecution for this testimony. And that sounds like a pretty expensive dog to me. Alessi then asked Welcher to do some calculations to figure out how much force it would take to break or fracture a bone in John's hand.

Now, Alessi and Welcher, they went back and forth for a long time about this, again, almost painful. But in the end, Welcher admitted that if John's hand had hit a specific part of the car, like the exhaust pipe, the license plate cover, or even the corner of the taillight, he said that it's possible that enough force could be generated to fracture the hand.
