"Though the landfill witness sounded creditable, this part of his story just doesn't jive."
Nonsense. It is very believable.....he said it happened at 4:30-5:30.....just before to just after quitting time when the dump would be empty of people out in the back 40.....but still accessible....esp to people with "standing"
Plus the fact that if you are disposing of "garbage" in the day time, it won't look weird. Disposing of "garbage" at night does look weird.
