Last I heard he was really refusing to change the cause of death from homicide to MMA. This has always bothered me as I cannot bear when medical personnel do not admit they made a mistake.

Whatever the odds are of contamination in general are, it is more likely that it would be from Meredith than from anybody else. Charlie Wilkes put together a list of some of the evidentiary DNA samples that were tested at friendsofamanda, and most of them were Meredith's profile. So the lab had plenty of Meredith's DNA, both pre-PCR amplication and post-PCR.<br /><br />Candace Dempsey's book also notes that the police officer who collected the knife gave it to a second officer who had just been to Meredith's cottage.

Without that transparency, there is little hope for virtue, and, as Plato told us 2,500 years ago, "Science without virtue is immoral science."

The scientific evidence available today is overwhelming to counsel and judges, even more so to juries. If it is going to be used and is not to be viewed as the pronouncements of modern-day High Priests, to be accepted on "faith," everyone needs guidance in how to interpret the results. The problem is that the prosecutors have resources virtually no defendant can match. In addition, triers of fact, either juries or judges sitting alone, need context and education BEFORE being subjected to the opposing experts who advance conclusions supporting their respective employers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8731849270338485723.post-7229842088450045542010-06-03T20:59:19.302-04:002010-06-03T20:59:19.302-04:00One aspect of the Stallings case I intended to com...One aspect of the Stallings case I intended to comment upon earlier is how important it was for private citizens to become involved. The expertise of people like William Sly was absolutely critical in getting Ms. Stallings released. However, one cannot count on episodes of “Unsolved Mysteries” to correct every judicial error. Therefore, I take this case as an example of how the judicial system sometimes fails to give defendants a fighting chance to challenge forensic evidence. In this regard, one of Mr. Koppl’s proposed reforms, a forensic counsel for the defense, is attractive.<br /><br />ChrisChris Halkideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14933976220776524122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8731849270338485723.post-40078097175294241402010-06-03T20:33:44.675-04:002010-06-03T20:33:44.675-04:00Posting to get comments via email.Posting to get comments via email.Humanity Blueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12811639482357767847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8731849270338485723.post-19101871922354129572010-06-03T18:32:58.642-04:002010-06-03T18:32:58.642-04:00It appears from this post that Chris has found a c...It appears from this post that Chris has found a case that beats the odds.
