The fact that it took him a half hour to get the witness there shows how biased she was and how reluctant she was to admit the obvious. I suspect O'Mara has a witness lined up who will be more than willing to testify that there were a number of blows and that any one of them could have been fatal. This was the testimony of an ME who did not examine the defendant. I suspect MOM will bring in a neurologist to testify as to how dangerous even the most minor head trauma can be.
I think O'Mara could have objected to this witness' qualifications as an expert and requested she be disallowed as a witness, but I think he knew he could destroy her on cross examination and then open the door to a real expert in brain injuries.
I must say that O'Mara has changed my opinion of Criminal Defense attorneys. O'Mara is sharp. BDLR is not in the same league with O'Mara. BDLR, is a functional moron compared to MOM.
Had he gone to the hospital that night, I have no doubt that they would have taken an xray at least if he described the event and prescribed some type of anti inflammatory drug.
