A whole lot of doubt. I don't want to interrupt your love affair with Goff and all the bugs, but Feldman will probably rip him up pretty good.

Of course he will to an extent but you don't realize that at this point it doesn't matter. All Dusek needed was an expert that would put the date at 2/2 and say this is the minimum time she was there. From this Desek has the testimony he needs.

Oh really? You know the minds and conclusions of the jurors? Aren't you getting just a tad bit carried away with your obsession?

Whether or not it literally applies to the bug evidence, the jury will be instructed that if two "reasonable" explanations are given, the one that favors the defendant must prevail.

They may choose to apply that principle to the whole sum of entomology expertise, although that isn't eactly what the instruction demands.
