Analyst casts doubt on witness assertion that she heard "the sound of wet grass" [View all]

I thought I was the only one wondering how in the world Rachel Jean heard a headpiece fall on "wet grass" during a phone call. Bob Somerby (progressive media critic) points out that the claim has been typed over and over without curiousity as to how this may happen.


" None of the cable analysts, not one, seemed willing to speak to this matter. As a standard fallback position, they praised her for being “authentic.” Somerby said. http://dailyhowler.blogspot.com/2013/06/diogenes-seeks-cable-analyst.html

I know most people here will find a way to make it perfectly sensible for the sound of a headpiece on wet grass being heard by someone on the other side of phone, and many will claim to have thought of the acoustic differences between dry vs. wet grass.

But I'll ask anyway. What's your opinion?

Additionally, the fact that this assertion came from the worst witness in the trial so far makes discussing her claims fair game.
