Thanks, John. You are so right about the bug experts. The fact that Faulkner was Duseks witness won't be lost on the jury. I think Feldman will stress that fact!

Hate to beat a dead horse, but Goff sure changed his tune:
From a March 2000 lecture at Chico State:

Goff explained that both the type of insect on the body and its current developmental stage allow entomologists to determine an accurate time of death. The Blow fly is the first to appear, about ten minutes following death. The bug enters openings in the head, then the genitals and anus. The fly lays about 200 eggs and starts its biological cycle.
"When the insects go into the body, we look at those with the most advanced development," Goff said. "Then we work backward to measure the time of death."
The results are almost fool-proof. Goff presented a slide of a young air force cadet who had been raped, stabbed seventeen times, then slit across the throat. The boy's face was a black mask of maggots. Goff's team detected three species of flies, which told them the victim had been dead for three-and-a-half days with the time of death between 10 p.m. and midnight. Goff phoned the base where the boy was stationed to share the news. At the same time, there was another phone call. It was one of the boy's attackers, confessing to a crime that occurred at 10:30 p.m. three-and-a-half days prior.
