remember, no doctor was able to testify to the cause or mechanism of death. but manner of death, yes. take a listen to by my experience and by what is known about the way homicides occur. i felt the preponderance of the evidence and no other logical conclusion could be found by not reporting a child for 30, who has a legal and moral and ethical obligation and not reporting that the child missing and the fact it is tossed in a field to rot in bags and it is a clear indication that the body was trying to be hidden and even put in a bag is a big red flag for homicide and never seen in accidental death of a child and fact that there is duct tape attach to the child s
there were traces of chloroform in the trunk of the car and the word chloroform and neck breaking were found on casey s computer and of course, the medical examiner testified as to manner of death, homicide. in the grand scheme of prosecuting cases, you would be comfortable with that as a prosecutor. i would love the evidence. you take the pieces and even take one or two or more away you can get e end up with the same thing. forensics is new. but take it away and what the witnesses say and coupled with everything else. i think it is a home run for the prosecution if they sum it up correctly. doctor, you started writing quickly. i don t think it is junk science just because it is new. the whole supreme court came down with a national

it is not pure review. colleagues haven t reviewed it. doctor, bright guy and phd. but he is a research scientist and not a forensic scientist. this was never testified before in a homicide trial. saying we ll execute the young woman for the death of the child based on untested nonpeer review testimony not seen in florida before, and say because of smell avision. i know the smell of death and at the same time prosecution seeking to introduce the jury and smell the can and convict here. and it is not junk science. and in the minority at the
