Judge

"What the fuck has this got to do with the price of eggs"

I paraphrase.

I wish Maya would ask her to stop calling her "Ms Forshatter"

Russell's attempt at a tinkly little laugh failed badly there. It came out as a forced cackle.

Please pronounce Maya's name properly! This is not the first time they've met so it's just rude to continually miss pronounce the name

I'm with the judge. I haven't understood what JR'S intent has been since her first question.

I wonder if JR is going to use the laws in Afghanistan as reasons why women should be forced to get undressed in front of men in Scotland?

😂

more tinkly laughs as she moves on from yet another line of questioning

Presumably when there is no coherent reason why women should be forced to undress in front of men, the only defence is to clutch at straws - American ones presumably?

Scottish Gov research. This should be good.

JR Oh, this is about North Carolina. I'll move on...

And haven't American laws on women's rights moved on rather drastically recently? What do these old laws have to do with anything.

The judge will know this was an attempt to discredit her analytical skills when she was here to inform on factual data she has collated.

Maybe Peggie's support of Trump is pertinent here.

I wonder if that is how JR refers to her in private/with TRA chums?

Beautifully succinct answer from Maya to that.

The acronym that dare not speak its name!

JR trying to discredit Maya us cringe making. Maya relying on peer reviewed studies, JR bringing up blog posts and news articles. Perhaps she could do a vox pop with random people outside the court?

Ooh Sexual fetish makes an appearance.

I think Blanchard has established this has he not?

Yep

Why would JR even go there?

I assume Russell is going to produce documents that say that AGP doesn't exist. You have to ignore a lot of the Internet to come to that conclusion.

@nauticant And books

So, to sum up, JR has not been able to make the slightest dent in Maya's expertise.
