The man convicted of killing his girlfriend and baby continued to represent himself during the sentencing phase of the murder trial.
Craig Wall, 39, was found guilty last week of killing his 5-week-old son in Clearwater and stabbing his girlfriend Laura Taft, 29, to death less than two weeks later.
On Tuesday, Judge Phil Federico began proceedings, reminding Wall of proper questioning protocol during cross-examination. Federico said Wall often gave testimony instead of asking questions.
The prosecution wrapped up its presentation, bringing two more witnesses to the stand. The first witness was Dr. Sally Smith, a pediatrician who examined Wall's son, C.J. Wall objected when the witness gave her name.
Smith described the baby's injuries.
"That pattern of a hemorrhage on a CAT scan is almost always the result of abusive head trauma, where there's a problem of most likely violent shaking, but can be related to high-forced impact to the head," she said.
However, Wall argued some of the bruises didn't match what experts say caused the baby's death.
"If I used my fingers, literally my fingers would be indented in his chest," Wall said. "There is no injury like that, is there?"
"He did not have bruising in the center of his sternum," Smith said.
The cross-examination lasted two hours, causing Federico to comment at one point.
"No lawyer would cross examine this doctor for 120 minutes on the subjects that you went over," he said. "I did that because I wanted to give you a full opportunity and as I said and have observed throughout this, the questions are repetitive and over the same topics, over and over again."
Clearwater Police Detective Kerri Spaulding took the stand next. She testified about an interview she conducted with Wall after the baby's death.
Wall played video from that interview during his cross examination.
Wall has asked for the death penalty. He will start presenting his case Wednesday.
