You mean "aye".

No, it's median 'EYE'.

[ThreeYearLurker]

That is because you use an even number. It will be the average of the two middle numbers.

LOLOLOLOL !!!!!!!!

BULLETIN!

OK, now that I have the class's attention. Feldman has till Sunday to decide if he wants to introduce a last witness. He will notify Dusek by Monday to prepare for the Trial on Tuesday.

If there is no witness, then on TUESDAY the end starts.

The Jury WILL not be sequestered....:~(

So, we now have another 4 day delay, so we can cool off...Amen.

[John Jamieson]

I'll buy that.

[clearvision]

No, we definitely want to be able what the jury says after this trial...

[spectre]

Let me guess? You're gonna catch some Bass?

Have fun!

"Even attys can turn down cases if they want. Be back in a few to write more."

When you get back, please explain why you think Feldman should have turned down this case - or would have wanted to - just because he represents a group trying to legalize pot. I don't see the point you are trying to make with it, or the connection to a capital offense murder case.

Feldman has till Sunday to decide if he wants to introduce a last witness.

A forensic anthropologist, I believe.

Here's some more knowledge in Forensic Entomology

http://www.missouri.edu/~agwww/entomology/chapter1.html

The potential for contributions of entomology to legal investigations has been known for at least 700 years, but only within the last decade or so has entomology been defined as a discrete field of forensic science. ...................................................... Knowledge of arthropod (especially blow fly) biology and geographic distribution can allow the determination of accurate estimates relative to the interval of time that a body has been exposed to arthropod activity, and an indication of whether the fauna collected is indigenous or foreign to the site where the body was found. Often this can prove useful in determining the actual location of death. For example, certain species of blow flies tend to be found primarily within large urban centers. Identification of such species in association with a corpse found along a rural roadside suggests that the victim was killed in town and subsequently dumped in the remote rural environment.

Certain species of blow flies. Urban. Hmmmmmmm! I wonder if they checked this out.

[BARLF]

Ok,just checking. Had to leave and do my evening chores.

[oremus]

However, the skin took a while to mummify now didn't it? Plenty of time for bugs to settle in the moist area.

Hi to Hillbilly .

[fatima]

Good,but i don't want to picture it.

[FresnoDA]

Maybe we should pass the time, singing song parodies....?

[Ditter]

I have a question about the drag mark. Where did the drag mark come from? Did it come 'from' the road or trail deeper into the desert/brush?
