Heading: Dr. Jolly

Text: Dr. Jolly is an expert on the effects of alcohol. Dr. Jolly would have testified that alcohol has special effects on people with neuropsychological problems. Along with Dr. Cowan's testimony, Dr. Jolly's testimony would have been that Storey acted under extreme emotional distress exacerbated by alcohol and that he had sustained a closed head injury. Counsel testified that Storey's PCR counsel told her, in 1999, that [Dr. Jolly] had done very little court work and that he might be vulnerable on cross because he is an administrator at the University of Nebraska, and I think . . . others might perceive him as a bureaucrat and not a scientist. She also testified that she thought, when cross examined by the State that he couldn't put any medical corroboration of this closed head injury.
