Renisha McBride Motion Hearing 6/27June 27, 2014 thetrialfile
Here is just a quick wrap up of motions Judge Dana Hathaway ruled on. This was not a good day for the defense. It is our current opinion that Ted Wafer may want to seek new counsel as we feel his attorneys got their butts whooped today.
Motion:When defense expert, former Wayne County medic examiner Dr. Werner Spitz will testify in the trial which begins July 21st.
Ruling:Prosecution unsuccessfully attempted to impeach Dr. Spitz’s testimony. Judge Hathaway ruled he may testify but she would limit as to what. He must also testify after the prosecutions medical examiner Dr. Kilak N. Kesha. Dr. Spitz stressed concerns that the autopsy did not mention Renisha’s left hand was swollen most likely from pounding on Wafer’s door.

Ruling:Irrelevant and Inadmissible
Motion:Allow pictures and text messages from Renisha’s phone which will show she was not innocent and just looking for help.
