Amazing, isn’t it? Virtually all the real experts in the field say that this was the most incredible product they had ever seen, it was so sophisticated our government couldn’t even reproduce it, yet this one guy supposedly did it by himself in a few nights of overtime after 9/11.
Attempts To Deceive Investigators
PROSECUTION: Investigators say that in 2002 Ivins submitted two samples of anthrax from the flask in question and that neither of those genetically matched the spores used in the attacks. Agents later seized the flask and found the anthrax in it did in fact match the spores used in the attacks. Taylor said Ivins did this "presumably to mislead investigators."
DEFENSE: Ivins' lawyer says there was confusion about what kind of sample the FBI had wanted — a "pure" sample or one that captured the mix of spores in the flask. Kemp says Ivins submitted a pure sample at first.
