Holy Science! After the spicy sauna session with Bukhenik, the Commonwealth proceeded to call a lot of witnesses to testify about evidence collection, DNA testing, tail light reconstruction and magical mystery hair. This episode is the follow up to our last episode, which finished week 3 and started on week 4 because they just weren't done with Sergeant Bukhenik.

Trial Days 15-17 included testimony from Officers Clarke, Gallerani, Brent as well as Maureen Hartnett, Dr. Irini Scordi-Bello, Ash Vallier and ended with a Rule 14 violation and motion to exclude changes to an expert witnesses' testimony and report.

Last week, the panel of witnesses was robust and so I decided to break up the recaps because Jessica Hyde and Officer Bukhenik were very important to the Commonwealth's case in chief. They are also important witnesses for the defense in terms of cross examination. Attorney Alessi, of course, handles Ms. Hyde with respect and dignity, while also showing her where she is wrong. Alan Jackson then spent a grueling 3 days trying to extract information from Sergeant Bukhenik. Pulling teeth has to be easier. During the Commonwealth's direct questioning, they interestingly position Sergeant Bukhenik as though he was the co-Lead Investigator on the case. More new information is revealed, including never before heard texts, never before seen video, and never before believed excuses.
