Here is the testimony from Hall where Dusek gets him to "agree" with an early Feb. date (at least using Dusek's assumptions). Hall does say not agree that he should have used the data, but the jury heard the early Feb. date from him....
Q KAMAL'S DATA IT TAKES NINE DAYS OR SO TO GET FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END OF THIRD INSTAR, CORRECT?

A THAT'S CORRECT.

Q AND ANDERSON IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY NINE DAYS TO GET FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END OF THIRD INSTAR, WOULDN'T IT?

A THAT'S WHAT THE DATA REFLECT, YES, SIR.

Q AND IF WE TAKE NINE DAYS, GO BACK NINE MORE DAYS FROM FEBRUARY 13TH, WHAT DO WE GET TO?

A YOU GET TO ABOUT THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY.

Q WHICH MEANS IF WE HAVE MAGGOTS TOWARDS THE END OF THE THIRD INSTAR, THEY COULD HAVE BEEN LAID THERE THE BEGINNING OF FEBRUARY, CORRECT?

A IF YOU ARE GOING TO RELY SOLELY ON ANDERSON'S DATA.

Q WHAT DATE WOULD THAT BE IN THE FIRST PART OF FEBRUARY?

A IT WOULD BE AROUND THE FIRST OF THE MONTH IF YOU WERE GOING TO RELY ON THAT DATA, SIR.

Q AND YOU PREPARED DATA ON ALL OF THESE TEMPERATURES, DIDN'T YOU?

A I WENT THROUGH KAMAL, GREENBURG, AND ANDERSON.

Q YOU CHOSE NOT TO COMPUTE THAT EXITING THE THIRD INSTAR FOR ANDERSON, DIDN'T YOU?

A THAT'S CORRECT.

Q EVEN THOUGH YOU KNEW IT WOULD GET YOU BACK TO THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY?

A NO.

Q WHERE DID YOU THINK IT WOULD GET YOU?

A I REALLY DIDN'T -- I REALLY DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT.

Q WHY DIDN'T YOU TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHEN THE EXITING THE THIRD INSTAR UNDER ANDERSON'S DATA WHICH USES TEMPERATURES IN THE 60-DEGREE OR 61-DEGREE RANGE?

A WELL, I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU WITH THE PHORMIA REGINA I CALCULATED THAT IT WOULD REQUIRE AT 16.1 DEGREES ABOUT 93.4 ACCUMULATED DEGREE DAYS AT A BASE 10, AND AT 23 DEGREES HER DATA WOULD REFLECT 103.8 ACCUMULATED DEGREE DAYS AT BASE 10. AND THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF THERMAL ENERGY AVAILABLE AT SINGING HILLS WAS 86.9. SO WITH ANDERSON'S DATA SET THERE WAS INSUFFICIENT ENERGY FOR THE FLIES TO GET OUT OF THE THIRD INSTAR.
