This case is nationwide, (like ZZ-Top says) if not worldwide...yes they will be sequestered, just like OJ!

Well, sorry, but I don't care what other posters I offend, I'm going to have to join the ranks of people who ask: "WHEN has this highly-touted expert, Dr. Henry Lee, EVER made a difference in a case?" He's so equivocal about literally everything. It's all a game, and even with his many degrees and his years of testifying (um, what DOES a person LEARN about his field by testifying, btw?), he resembles a traveling medicine show. His whole manner is a disgraceful cheapening of his obviously thorough and high-level education.

Oh, okay. Sheesh! They don't strain themselves, do they?
That means we still have tomorrow, Wed., and Thurs.

The hair was 6" or so..broke after collected. My hair splits and breaks all the time. I have hair that is almost 16" long but shed short hair often....

I don't get it. Used to be, in order to be a star, it was recommended that one not be a fat pig with a big mouth, and also, it was recommended that one have a talent of some sort...

Rosie is a star???
To: Jackie-O
I agree Jackie. Don't forget to ping me tomorrow (I know you won't). I stayed home and gave myself a perm today and right now, I'm bushed. See y'all tomorrow.

LOL!! Well at least he's having a good time! Speaking of gross, I kept smelling a smell in my son's room, but couldn't find the source. And of course that means.....uh-oh!!
Well, yesterday evening I picked up an old backpack of his, and out rolled the world's oldest apple. It was not rotten, but it was all wizened and wrinkled. YECCCCCCHHHHHH!!!!
To: Devil_Anse
Yeah, his fortune cookie dialect gets old after a while. Especially when you realize it's a show.

Touché. Well, okay, then why DO they continually inflict her on the viewing public? LOL.
To: Devil_Anse
LOL!!! Stop, yer making me laugh so hard my cheeks hurt!!
To: BOOTSTICK
I agree that there would not be enough to build a case around the hair alone. Scott could say that the pliers were kept on the kitchen counter and he just grabbed them and threw them in the boat. I agree that if the hair had the root it would be more damning. But there are ways to explain away the hair. However, this case almost does not need the hair.

Would amniotic fluid be the ringer? I don't think so. It might save Scott's life. After all, he is up for double murder. He can't get that if there is some evidence Connor was BORN first and possibly died of natural causes, even if Scott did murder Laci. Or would that still count as a double murder since he did not call medical help for the baby? I don't know. Probably less complicated if there were no amniotic fluid, just something from Laci, proving she was injured at the very least right there in the house. Connor dying as a result of her murder is clearer.

Boy, this is enough to make people long for the days when hair analysis was just a matter of putting the unknown specimen and a known specimen under a strong magnifier, and comparing characteristics. Seems we are spoiled these days, what with all this DNA!

EEEK!! You sound just like him!!
I just wanna say one thing: Henry, stop smiling at inappropriate moments!! Cultural thing? Cultural, schmultural!! (If it's a cultural thing, what's Bill Kristol's excuse??)
To: Jackie-O
Good thought, but why only one hair fell off when usually many hairs will shed or break?
However, you are right, I have long hair too, and the same happens, breaks at many different lengths.

Scott would have to take the stand and say that the pliers were kept in the house, anywhere. I doubt that he will..sure MG can imply that with any witness, but the jury will wonder if that was the case, why doesn't he confirm it himself???
