One of the defense experts is Dr. James Wayman. He blasted Owen and Pineau when their opinions first came out. He is a San Jose State University professor in the field of speech science with some heavy credentials.
The judge reviewed the emails to see if anything in them amounted to an opinion or conclusion -- it's not that they haven't provided opinions, just that the state thought the emails would contain opinions which would make them discoverable and the Judge said they do not, so they are not subject to discovery.

The third defense expert is G.R. Doddington, who seems to a pioneer in the field of speech recognition. A ton of other experts, NIST, NATO, U. S. military and universities around the world still cite his work. He must be retired because he has no current website.
Zimmerman's experts are definitely impressive.
Of course being Jeralyn she has embedded links to all of the information on the three witness for tomorrows continuation of the

I got to watch off and on today before work. Nelson gave the Defense some treats today
She must have been having a good hair day.
I actually felt sorry for Dr. Reich. I know there were technological issues but he really came across poorly. I was all set to have a fit of giggles over him and could not bring myself to do it.
