Legal and Body Language Analysts REACT to Dr. Sally Smith in 'Take Care of Maya' Trial.

Dr. Sally Smith was called as a witness by the Defendant, Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, several days after the Plaintiff's had presented her testimony by deposition designations. This is a unique opportunity to see the same witness testify under oath in two formats, separated by months, in the same trial. Join Rob from @LawLumber and I as we look at some important pieces of Dr. Smith's testimony in this $220 million lawsuit! Kowalski v. Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital - the underlying facts of this case were the subject of the Netflix documentary, "Take Care of Maya" and involve treatment of Maya Kowalski beginning in 2016 by Johns Hopkins All Children's Medical Center (Florida) in 2016. Opening statements began on September 21, 2023, and we've moved into the Defendant's case-in-chief. Join as we recap some of the important aspects of today's proceedings.

Sally Smith is exactly like the kind of bosses in social services that used to make me cry on the way home from work, as soon as I left. An odd sense of power over others and desperate need to maintain it by belittling and showing contempt to all around them. I can't imagine being Maya's mother and dealing with this woman...

Someone should host a reunion of all the people who were taken away from their families by Sally Smith, who are now adults and can now compare notes. Did she not realize they would all grow up one day?

I am 30 now, but having had to deal with lots and lots of family law attorneys during my mother’s two very contentious divorces while I was young, Rob talking about wearing a tie of the favorite color of his client (and then being a minor) made me cry. Way to catch me off guard, Rob! Love seeing you two gentlemen doing another colab, and hope there are plans for more soon! You two compliment one another so well

After attending a funeral yesterday and receiving news of another death today, this 3 hour collaboration is the distraction I needed to mentally check out from my own stress. You both are a delight to hang out with. Thank you so much for this collaboration.

You guys work together like peanut butter and chocolate, Batman and Robin, Sherlock and Watson. Please do this often for us fans of dynamic duos.

Beata was a mother desperate to help her daughter who was suffering from debilitating pain based on prior medical advice and these people treated her like a villain. Its a truly tragic case.

I love it when youtuber's collaborate--this was truly a melding of two great minds. Thank you both!!!

[MsDungeness]

Group think is the basis of all of this. Mean girls (staff) ganged up on the Mom and the efforts of the staff were strictly to prove the mother wrong. This behavior is common in high school girls. After the fact, people turn to "professionalism" to save themselves. Medical community is rife with this behavior. Someone with power establishes treatment and everyone has to fall in line.

Rob, I love that tidbit about wearing a favorite color of your client's or their child. What a great way to show care and comfort

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the meanings and possible signs of deception, it’s disturbing and terrifying how much control smith has been given, one thing that stands out is how shocked she is to be questioned or when the lawyer makes objection she thinks nobody can ever question or object to her opinions- clearly this is someone who she has had way too much power and not used to someone daring to question her, I subscribed to your channel 😊

[amymiller]

Spidey I’m back rewatching on your channel so I can give you both some love. I have you to thank for falling down the lawtube rabbit hole and finding Rob, Ian and EDB 🥰 Appreciate all of your hard work and your take on the Behavioral aspects of SS in this case

[anitamartin]

Wow, I really went down the rabbit 🐇 🐰 🐇 hole with this case. 😮
This is so gut wrenching and heartbreaking 💔 These people (that woman) destroyed that little girl and her family. 😢

[dilafng]

I love you both so much! You are both so genuine, compassionate, thoughtful, and honest. It’s not hard to see why you became fast friends. Thanks for the collab — I’d love to see more!

[Sandra]

This was an amazing stream Spidey! I hope to see you and Rob do more lives together, great job as usual ❤

[debby]

Found your channel through Law and Lumber and I am hooked! GREAT Channel! Thanks so much for everything you share! Highly educational.

[BrokeStudentBeauty]

I love how both of you guys try to stay objective, it really elevates the analysis and the information we can learn from you

[GraceVibration]

I don't think I've ever subscribed the 1st time I've listened to a program, but this was hands down, the best.

[snoozygirl]

Loved this live collaboration - a you tube field trip! Would really like a part 2 considering the testimony of other witnesses and perhaps an analysis or commentary on the questioning styles of the attorneys. Thank you for your generosity in pledging charitable donations. A really fitting and meaningful gesture.

[exstock]

I'm part of Rob's replay crew, but I wanted to come over here and watch some of it so I could made sure Spidey got credit for it too! Glad I discovered his channel!

[DebC]

You two compliment each other’s insights. Both prospectives in one video is amazing! Thanks guys!
