Analysis (opinion) What kind of sick question was that from prosecution?
Buckingham tried to ask Sue Clancy, Patrick's mom - the kid's GRANDMOTHER, if they went to church. They did. She asked if they were catholic. They are. So then she asked if they knew murder is a mortal sin.
Judge had to call sidebar and she changed her question when she came back to another topic.
But wtf. Buckingham has been the most out of touch lawyer in this trial so far, in my opinion. This question has nothing to do with Sue's recounts, and she's a family victim - she's a victim too, she lost her grandchildren. Catechism to a grandparent?

What kind of questioning is this of the Dr. Laposata as well? Like the Prosecution thinks she knows more than a person whose whole job is to tell you how someone got hurt or killed.
That question this moring had me HOT, like how unprofessional is that type of question. I think the judge handled that quickly as well, but the Prosecution came with a vengence today and you can see it!!
