The questioning scrutinizes Dr. Spitz's methodology, the physical evidence he considered (like GSR on hands, blood spatter, and the nature of the gunshot wound), and the conclusions he drew about Spector's involvement and Clarkson's actions. The cross-examination also challenges Dr. Spitz on omitted evidence, his financial compensation from the defense, and Phillip Spector's history with women and firearms.

Objectivity and Re-evaluation:

Dr. Spitz states that an objective forensic pathologist must consider "all the facts."
When challenged with a hypothetical that "if the physical evidence suggested that Phillip Spector was in fact close enough to have fired the weapon," he initially stated he "would have to reconsider my opinions." However, he later presented a pre-prepared list, claiming it was a "regurgitation of what I knew before I even put pen to paper," essentially an affirmation of his original opinion rather than a true re-evaluation based on new hypothetical facts.
Dr. Spitz largely dismisses the significance of numerous circumstantial facts that point to Phillip Spector's culpability, including his history with guns and women, his actions immediately after the shooting (wiping hands, moving clothes, not calling for help), and his direct statement admitting to the crime.
