Right, I'm familiar with that. I thought he was tying the time on one of the computers to it and saying the time on the computer didn't reflect local time? But I missed the context and will await transcripts or a summary.

Rodriguez on the stand. Anthropologist, works for the Dept. of Defense. Here testifying in a private capacity.

Travis, do you realize that there isn't ONE forensic psychologist who can link watching Porn, albeit disgusting, to rape/murder?

If true, then why hasn't Feldman put on evidence, about this?

An article yesterday, in The Orange County Register revealed that Avila (alleged murderer of Samantha) had child porn, connected with the 2000 trial for child molestation.

People hold many feelings, beliefs, regardless of expert testimony, or absence thereof. I believe child porn falls into a category like that.

So unless Feldman puts on a strong expert, jurors are likely to connect child porn with these horrific crimes against children.

I have a serious question. Many on FR have made what seem to be good suggestions, for the defense. Yours surely falls into that category. Do you simply think Feldman isn't as sharp as you folks, and is just missing all of these opportunities?

Are some suggestions being passed along to his office?

Or could it be possible, that some of these items have been investigated, and have turned out to be not true?

I would think if it could be shown that no correllation exists between child porn, and child murder, that the defense would put it on. Wouldn't you?

So, what you are saying is that people who view child porn go on to kill children?

If so, then the investigators that view this junk, on a day to day basis, are going to kill a child at some point.

Spectre, sorry to see you have to leave

Truth_seeker, nice post...right to the point. I'm waiting to see if feldman will ever say dw's not guilty. I have a sneaky suspicion that DW confessed to feldie.. and that feldman is now bound by his state bar from saying "dw is not guilty" to the jury. (he can't lie to the jury) All I remember hearing him saying to the jury is that he will raise "doubt".

[It's me]

Unfortunately, I think they CAN find us they just choose not to.

AMAZING discussions about the trial, ongoing now....WOW!!! Paging all Refugees....by invitation only!! LOL

Current witness went to Kosovo as part of the "war crimes" investigation. Any chance he could nail clinton while we've got him on the stand?;)

I believe the test they used test positive to potatoes and other items, and if the reagent is old, tests positive to anything. While rust or potatoes may not contain dna, a stain containing saliva and potatoes might IMO. Since Feldman did not attack the pros. findings, It seems moot and I will have to go with the evidence presented.

PS, truthseeker, there are pleny of child porn collectors who don't act out their fantasies and kill kids. But often, child molestors/rapists who kill their victims do collect child porn.

....from both sides of the aisle.. :(

Be right there, Fres.

This thread is boring the cr@p out of me.

[longjack]

OK. Thanks for the info.

I couldn't remember whose witness Watkins was, and figured he was Feldman's based on the testimony he gave. That type of thinking proves the 'ME' part of the famous 'ASSUME' axiom quite nicely, thank you.

Dusek rebutted Watkin's testimony with Neal, then, as he should.

I think Neal's testimony is really damaging to his father. Feldman has to pull something out of his hat now.

Just got back. Who is testifying ?

[Freedom2specul8]

Mummification being talked about, drying out, bacteria needs moisture..bacteria can't operate properly without..the body tends to dry out and be mummified like the ancient egyptians. Mummification can occur in dry or cold or warm environment.

You just missed it - Goff was on and agreed with the other two bug guys - Just kiddin.... it's some boring anthropolosist.
