Chapter 21 - Donnelly
Harold testified medical.
Tyler’s injuries.
No overstatement.
Both patellae extensively destroyed.
Second wound geometry consistent with lower body position.
Could not say exact intent.
Could not say Barnes aimed specifically to permanently disable.
Important.
Then prior relationship.
Defense tried show bias.
“You owe Dennis your life?”
Harold answered:
“He carried me out of a collapsing structure seventeen years ago.”
“You feel loyalty?”
“Yes.”
“So your testimony favors family?”
“No. My medical records were written before I knew Dennis was Tyler’s father.”

Perfect.
Regarding Evan Hale, judge allowed limited evidence? Might be excluded propensity. Maybe at sentencing, not trial. So no.
