No. Two audio experts were precluded from giving testimony. Owen and Reich. In the process of rebutting Owen and Reich as passing the legal test for admissibility of expert opinion testimony in this case, the defense produced Nakasone (who testified today), French, Doddington, and Wayman. None of the defense experts is precluded from giving testimony.

The state called Nakasone because the state told jurors, during jury selection, that they would hear from an audio expert.

Exactly right. Two so-called experts were precluded because they didn’t rise to the standard expected of experts, per the judge. IIRC, their so-called “science” is not recognized as that by other experts, therefore it would be a waste to hear them because they would have to be disregarded.
