Aug 26: Lindsay Clancy Trial SHE'S WILL NOT STOP! SHE GOT WARNED FOR LEADING... THEN DID IT AGAIN. Red Objected. The Judge STRUCK the Answer.

Transcript

She's will not stop! She got warned for leading... then did it again. Red objected. The judge struck the answer. Were you asked about Dr. Resnick and how many articles he's written and how he's well known in this area? Yes. And are you familiar with Dr. Resnick's teachings about malingering and about faking hearing voices is one of the red flags for malingering? Yes. And is it fair to say that one of the red flags that Dr. Resnick teaches to look for in malingering and faking hearing voices is that someone automatically obeys a command? Yes. Did the judge strike that? Yes. Can I see Cal's question? Cal's question was: "Are you aware that one of the red flags to look for in malingering and faking hearing voices is that someone automatically obeys a command?" And the judge struck that.

Original caption

The Commonwealth had JUST been called out for leading the witness. Then minutes later… they do it AGAIN. This time with Dr. Resnick. Instead of asking the witness what he actually knows, the question basically feeds him the answer: “Isn’t one of Resnick’s red flags for malingering…?” Red immediately objects: Ask him what he’s read. Don’t tell him what you want him to say. The judge basically warns: I’ll hear the question, but I’m expecting an objection. The prosecutor asks it anyway. Witness says: Yes. And the judge IMMEDIATELY: “STRICKEN.” Then: SIDEBAR. That is brutal. Leading objection. Warning. Same move again. Answer struck from the record. Sidebar. At some point you have to ask: Why does the Commonwealth keep trying to put the answer in the witness’s mouth? #LindsayClancy #LindsayClancyTrial #KevinReddington #CourtTok #TrialTok
