Remember when Hank Brennan tried to have a “gotcha!” moment with Dr. Marie Russell, acting as if he knows more than her about dog bites, when he claimed that they’re “routinely referred to as an hourglass shape”? Brennan went so far as to represent that “hourglass” is the industry standard term used to describe the shape of dog bites by experts in an attempt to imply that being unfamiliar with this term suggests one isn’t an expert. ———— Brennan asked: “Well in most professional studies by experts, isn’t it routinely referred to as an hourglass shape?” Dr. Russell replied: “I haven’t seen that at all.” Brennan asked: “Well have you read books on dog bites?” Dr. Russell replied: “I’ve read articles on dog bites.” Brennan asked: “Have you read books on dog bites?” Dr. Russell replied: “No. I have read articles on dog bites.” Brennan asked: “Have you ever read this book (Brennan holds up book)? Do you recognize this as an authority?” Dr. Russell replied: “No.” ———— There’s just one problem for Mr. Brennan. This—the term “hourglass” for describing the shape of dog bites—isn’t a standard known or used industry term, in fact, it isn’t even a term used by experts in the field, nor is it a term used in “professional studies” to describe the shape of dog bites. Unable to find any instances where the term “hourglass” is used in any of the literature, “professional studies”, scientific papers or expert testimony, I decided to consult Hank Brennan’s Dog Bible (I mean book) since he specifically cited to it as being a source that substantiates the supposed established & routine use of this terminology by experts in the field. However, in my quest to determine if this was in fact the case, I scanned through the entirety of Brennan’s “Dog Bites: A Multidisciplinary Perspective” book in order to find what he was referring to. Shockingly, for a term like “hourglass” that Brennan portrayed as being industry nomenclature, or specific verbiage used by experts & in books—particularly Brennan’s book—to describe & expertly qualify the distinct shape of dog bites, this book used the word “hourglass” one time across its 450+ pages. In its singular mention of the word “hourglass”, the book states: “The hourglass shape of a generalized dog bite is clearly different from the typical bow shape of a human bite” (pg. 237). Nowhere in this sentence, page or chapter of the book does it indicate that the word “hourglass” is a widely accepted & used term in the field for describing the shape of dog bites. Based on its singular reference & lack of routine use in this entire book about dog bites, I think it’s safe to say that Hank Brennan is not only wrong, but apparently didn’t read his own reference book—other than perhaps the one page mentioning “hourglass”. ———— Final note on Brennan’s apparent lack of discernment on what constitutes an authoritative source in the field, especially in the areas of science & medicine, and particularly as it relates to expert witness testimony: It’d also appear that Brennan is confusing “professional studies” with peer reviewed studies. This seems to be further reinforced by the fact that he leaned on “books” as a default authority source, when in actuality, it is very well understood both in the medical/scientific community, as well as in the legal world of expert witnesses, that the unequivocally reliable authoritative source is the peer-reviewed study—sometimes referred to as “articles” (aka academic research articles). You probably recall hearing Dr. Russell refer to many such “articles” (peer reviewed studies) throughout the hearing. Peer-reviewed studies, unlike “professional studies”, are academic research articles that undergo rigorous scrutiny by experts in the field (peers) before publication. This process ensures the quality, validity & originality of the research—unlike say a book, for instance, which has no barrier to publication. #KarenReadTrial
