And she added that John's overall injuries are inconsistent with being hit by a car, particularly because he didn't have any bruises or fractures to his lower extremities.
And finally, she said that hole on John's hoodie, that one I pointed out in the recap a couple of weeks ago, the one that was about the size of the tip of a finger with the fraying around the edges, she said in her opinion, that was made by a canine tooth. Then Brennan stepped up for Cross.

Now, like I said last week, because Brennan spent so much of his career as a defense attorney, I think he's much stronger on Cross than on Direct. Not that he's any, like, less annoying to listen to, because I still find him kind of infuriating on cross at times, but I do think he's much better at making his points on cross than on direct.

Brennan first got Dr. Russell to admit that she's never testified before as an expert on dog bites, but she's since advertised herself as a trial expert, and she's used a photo of herself testifying in the first trial to sort of promote her services.

Attorney Brennan also took issue with Dr. Russell's claim that she's uniquely qualified to testify in this case, and he pointed out that she hasn't earned any certificates or attended any seminars on the specific topic of dog bite pattern recognition.

But Dr. Russell doubled down, saying that she's the only doctor that she knows of who's done residencies in emergency medicine and forensic pathology, and who has, quote, a lifelong interest in dog bites.

Then when Brennan pointed out that the medical examiner found that John's arm injuries were superficial with no puncture or depth, Dr. Russell said that that's actually consistent with her own conclusions that they're dog bites. Remember, the prosecution's medical examiner, Dr. Scordibello, wasn't allowed to answer if she thought that John's injuries were consistent with a dog attack.

So it is very possible that both doctors would agree that these are dog bites. Now, Dr. Russell also admitted that her stance has changed somewhat since the first trial. The first trial, she gave a more conservative testimony that the injuries were from some sort of interaction with an animal, and it could be from either teeth or nails. But she says since, she's done more research.
