Radiologist says Carrs' brains are normal
A radiologist testified today that brain scans prepared for the defense of Reginald and Jonathan Carr showing alleged brain damage had been purposefully manipulated and the results skewed.Dr. Norman Pay testified that his analysis showed the brothers both had normal brains.
He testified for the state as a rebuttal witness in the penalty phase of the capital murder trial. The defense for the brothers rested their cases earlier today.
Pay said he analyzed the scans for the first time on Tuesday after being called by prosecutors to examine defense evidence.
David Preston, a retired doctor and former professor from the University of Kansas Medical Center, testified for the defense last week that the brain scans performed on both brothers showed problems in the part of the brain that handles short-term memory and assigns risk to situations.
But Pay said his analysis shows that the color-coded scans prepared for jurors had been deliberated skewed. He also said the scan was not in the proper anatomical location, but tilted in such a way that it showed diminished area of the brain.
Pay discounted Preston's earlier testimony that the Carr's brain function was diminished.

LOL ... Hey great! Now you have an ear for music.
Actually, I would prefer they make it into something more suited to the situation--toilet paper.
Why not make it 11 hs? add Homicidal Homeboy Hanging from a Huge tree and then going to Hell where He belongs.
There's no reason we can't do both.
I'm sure that the anti-death penalty defense team is cutting Dr. Cunningham a
good sized check (of tax payers money) for his "unbiased" testimony.
