CENTRE STREET,
Nov 22 – In the Daniel Penny
trial on November 21, his
medical expert Doctor Chandru
was cross examined until he
used the word homicide, not
distinguishing between the
medical and the legal context.
Inner City Press was there,
from the thread
ADA: There is no
literature connecting K2 to
the sickle of cells, correct?
[A member of the public here
in the gallery seems to laugh,
or woop - a court officer goes
over to shush her]
Penny's medical
expert Chandru: No, there is
literature, on anti-psychotics
ADA: Dr.
Chandru, you've only published
two articles, right? Penny's
medical expert Chandru: Yes,
before being a resident. ADA:
Unlike Doctor Harris, who has
published more - Penny's
lawyer: Objection. ADA: You
think you know better
ADA: You're
saying you know better than
the Chief Medical Examiner,
than the NE Journal of
Medicine- Penny's lawyer:
Objection. Judge Wiley:
Sustained. Don't answer that
question. ADA: They studied
people who were stun-gunner or
Tazed Objection! Overruled.
ADA: Isn't it a
fact that sickle cell was
being used as a way to cover
up the death of African
Americans in custody? Penny's
lawyer: Objection! Judge:
We're not going there. ADA:
It's relevant to the next line
of questions. But let's go to
the new article
ADA: This paper
was intended to argue against
the view that sickle cell was
being used to cover up deaths
of African Americans in
custody? Penny's medical
expert Chandru: I don't know
their intent. ADA: These
authors are mostly from Texas
ADA: 2 of
these authors are advisors to
a company that makes Tasers,
correct? Penny's medical
expert Chandru: If you say so.
ADA: Some of the
deaths in custody attributed
to sickle cell involve Tasers
- that's two of them. Another
author is a retired police
chief
