  1. It’s hard to see all this as a layman and not believe there was something else at work, Jury convicts sending a 19 year old to prison for 25 years after 1 day on the absolute thinnest of cases because they are tired? I sure hope that’s the exception and not the rule
  2. Also and maybe I missed This but Hampton seemed to be able to pinpoint Greg’s location via cellphone on the date in question and seemingly for months before, was this technology not available then? Or would it be a stretch due to the prosecution’s ability to move the timeline? Seems this info could of been used by either side, I can understand why dick was mad at the withdrawal of the ineffective counsel claim, it severely limited his line of question for Ms. Cummings and while I believe I would of really loved to watch that unfold it seems Hampton did the right thing to protect his client and prevent any potential damaging information coming out.
  3. To me the ineffective counsel claim is relevant because regardless of tactic chosen she failed to exploit numerous glaring holes in the investigation namely the investigation as a whole and the complete lack of an actual photo or lineup id of the suspect, how did it fly at all that he was only ever identified by name? I’m not a lawyer, my father was and I believe Jerry knew him. I grew up around this and it seemed pretty apparent the opportunity to cast doubt was there and missed every step of the way
  4. That was my understanding as well, so which is it? Please help him because I know he is innocent? Or justice was served because of all the things I know that are damaging?
  5. And yes to me I totally agree she had to defend herself, but it seemed obvious she was doing it in a way which basically dared hampton to go after her, and risk her disclosing potentially damaging info about GK and potentially destroying his case, was she willing to save herself and reputation by destroying GK’s if so did she really support, believe or care about his innocence?
  6. Strategy and tactics aside, wouldn’t the ineffective counsel allegations be buoyed by Hampton’s disassembly of Dailey’s own lack of effort in the investigation? Not showing up to the daycare, sitting in on the cac interview(the one that later recanted) the lack of any photo identification at all of Greg kelley himself at any point, seems he was only identified by name, the child interview expert who pretty much broke down how bad the cac interview itself was and about how easy kids can be led into a false story, why wasn’t any of these points brought in the initial trial? And if they were how in the hell do you convict beyond a reasonable doubt.
  7. I work at a fire department NW of Houston, small town and all I can speak of is what we are seeing, I’d say at the beginning of all this ems calls were maybe 10 percent covid related and now probably 90 percent of them are with the bulk of them being positive. Throughout this whole deal we were able to escape relatively unscathed even with exposures. Last week we lost an entire engine company go on quarantine with all testing positive, I just found out one of the guys who relieved me tested positive. It’s pretty easy to downplay it all or even ignore it, right up until the point it directly affects you. A few weeks ago the ER was holding seven covid positive patients because of lack of beds, this is in probably a 13-14 bed ER
  8. They are sterilizing them, the beginning of each shift with some kind of a new digger and we all have second sets of gear, gross decon with a hand line could happen but the only real way to decon the gear would be washing it in an extractor and drying it, which is fairly time consuming, the SCBA would be pretty simple to sterilize with the exception of the regulator, the only other issue would be filling the bottles as we have only have a cascade at 1 station and that would increase the risk of exposing that crew as well
  9. The scary thing is our first patient who came up positive was on a nebulizer, it wasn’t until the following week they put out guidelines on how much aerosolized medications increase the exposure risk, MCHD is no longer giving nebulizers to suspected Covid patients, they have gone to inhaler based medication administration
  10. My apologies no intention at all to cause panic, to me at least the study indicates an elevated risk from before, but to what extent? I do agree with you that aspect is unknown, to me as a healthcare provider it doesn’t make a difference however it does seem to have raises some alarm bells at least within our organization regarding the ease of transmission. I’m not afraid of it, I’ve been exposed and I’ve seen it, my only true fear is bringing it home to my 75 year old mother who lives with us as she has pretty much all of the risk factors. Our department has been fairly lax so far on this regarding preventative measures, if they’re suggesting masks while in public it’s not an overreaction , I have to think the concern of increased risk is coming from a credible source.

  13. I’m assuming it’s been mentioned they now think it’s airborne, or at least spread by simply talking and breathing, we just got word to prepare for a directive to wear masks at all times while in the public.

  17. I’m a first responder in Northwest Harris county just found out one of the patients we came in contact with last shift turned out positive for covid19 the whole crew was in full ppe because of symptom screening and I’m being told it was a low risk exposure and to self monitor.....had to call my crew and tell them
  18. I’m a first responder in the Northwest Houston area, was just informed someone we ran on Tuesday tested positive, glad everyone was in the right PPE, the exposure was low risk and I was told to self monitor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
