The very next witness was the fabulous Dr. Horne who was asked by a juror how the bullet could have gotten to the frontal lobe without piercing the dura, and we got the "Oh, um, I guess it must have been a typo" farce.
The next day was closing statements, and a deafening silence on the subject of the frontal lobe. Why would Martinez not use it if it was valid? Give me one reason, please. The reason is this: Dr. Horne, the Prosecutor and the jury all knew there was no frontal lobe injury. SuperJuan fucked up.
