As a woman, I can understand "dressing up" for testimony. "Herringbone for backbone" meaning wearing a proper suit to help give oneself confidence. OTOH, The whole glasses, librarian thing would come off as very staged to me and lessen the impact of anything she said.

Dr. Bao says an investigator goes out to the scene of the incident.

He says two assistants work with him.

De la Rionda shows a picture to the jury.

He explains what an autopsy is and the definitions of manner of death.

He says Martin’s death was a homicide because he was killed by another person.

Dr. Bao says he has done more than 3,000 autopsies, with about 150-200 being homicides.

He has testified before as an expert.

Dr. Bao did the examination of Trayvon Martin on Feb. 27, 2012 at the medical examiner’s office Volusia County.

The cause of death was a gunshot wound to the chest and manner of death was homicide, Dr. Bao says.

He says Martin was not identified when he arrived at the office and his age wasn’t known.

They first looked for bullet fragments, he says, adding that the body was sealed in a plastic bag.

He describes Martin’s height and weight and says he was wearing a shirt with a hole and another below it with blood.

He describes the gunshot wound seen after removing the clothing.

He says the bullet went through fiber tissue around the heart and through a ventricle of the heart.

The lead core of the bullet and two fragments were recovered, he says.

He says Martin was still alive when the bullet went through his heart. He says Martin was still suffering and in pain.

West objects to speculation.

Judge Nelson asks the attorneys to approach.

ME just said that TM was healthy, no disease.

Didn't TM show liver disease?

ME: "Other than defect (gunshot wound), Trayvon Martin was healthy, with no other disease."

Side note: damage from chronic drug/alcohol use/abuse is not "disease", but rather "disorder".

The damage to the liver would qualify as disorder, not disease.

Sounds like he's going to talk about a second finger injury besides the abrasion mentioned in the autopsy.


Does that call the original autopsy into question for not mentioning it?

Or does the lack of mention of it call what he's going to testify to into question?
