Honolulu Star Bulletin June 9, 2000 article on M. Lee Goff. An interesting read. http://starbulletin.com/2000/06/09/features/story1.html

Unless there has recently been a change in our justice system, the burden of proof lies solely with the prosecution. You may choose to overlook that small fact, but true jurists can't.

[Freedom2specul8]

PROVED was the wrong word and I know someone will say something about it. I meant SHOWN, they've not been able to show it, so that defense strategy seems like it won't work.

[Freedom2specul8]

Yes, prove was the wrong word..sorry.

[the Deejay]

Personally, I'd much rather be in the "groupie" of DW's than the "gropies" of the Vdams & co. They are just sleaze & not just behind closed doors. (And that's just for starters.)

[Freedom2specul8]

Yeah, I wouldn't want to be a supporter of their lifestyle either...but just because I think the evidence against DW is bad, does not mean I support their lifestyle..I hope you don't think that. Personally, I think dw groupies and VDA labels are just plain wrong. (I just told southflank cuz I know she has a good sense of humor)

Sometimes a person gets on a roll, and you got one going tonight! Good for you, Laura.

[Freedom2specul8]

Gropies..I just caught the spelling.. :)

Good link Granof8. From the article...

Goff estimates that 98 percent of his goal in forensic entomology is figuring out the time that has elapsed since a person's death. "

What say you minion?

[Lauratealeaf]

Very profound statement. But profundity seems not to penetrate some van DAM Apologists' brains. Alas and alack.

[the Deejay]

Fancy yourself being "groped" by Barbara Easton? In private or in public? (That's what I meant when I said "gropies".)

[Southflanknorthpawsis]

My hasn't the pitch heightened with the "DW's guilty" trio or quartet?

I guess it sort of goes to show that they would rather be right than to see justice done.

It now appears that three, count them three, entomologists exculpate DW, inasmuch as he could not have put her body at Dehesa Rd. before February 5th.

Now since this same prosecutor has convicted people with less than this much bug evidence, what does that tell us?

Either the bug stuff tells an accurate story or it doesn't. If I represented a convicted person who had been nailed by Dusek and his bugs, I'd be talking to my client about now.

[mommya]

Also from gran's link....Goff's own words...

"No one knows," marvels M. Lee Goff, entomology professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa. "Flies will travel great distances within minutes of death. How do they sense it? It's a mystery. Some species of blowfly even seem to anticipate death, and will gather and wait."

[Lauratealeaf]

Thanks Spec....Getting on a roll is at least better than being a troll....like Brenda...Oh well.

[the Deejay]

Yip, I do agree with you. Three, entomologists exculpating DW, is nothing to sneeze at. I do believe when Goff said he agreed with Haskell's findings, Dusek slid under the table or at least hid his face from the jury. LOL

I believe bugs do not & can not LIE. (Like the Vdams & co. can, do & did.)

Agree with this too: "If I represented a convicted person who had been nailed by Dusek and his bugs, I'd be talking to my client about now."

[Lauratealeaf]

Some species of blowfly even seem to anticipate death, and will gather and wait."

Could be why Dad's was such a popular hangout.

[the Deejay]

BWAHAAAAAHHHAAAAHHHAAAAA

[mommya]

good one - LOL

[nycgal]

I do believe when Goff said he agreed with Haskell's findings, Dusek slid under the table or at least hid his face from the jury.

Nancy Grace most likely bugged out her eyes, showed her fangs and shrieked to high heaven when she heard that. Gosh, I wish Goff's testimony occurred during her show. Would have been priceless to see her reaction.

[the Deejay]

LOL! Watch Nancy tomorrow, she'll probably revisit that part of Goff's testimony & will explode!!
