Bugs: The Best Witnesses? (Westerfield's Son Neal Forced To Testify By Desperate D.A. Dusek!!)

[It's me]

does he? I beginning to doubt that

under the body..if no leakage..fluid can dry out quickly. The leaf debris -lost feed- we have no fluid. :(

very little post mortem staining of the soil

[Freedom2specul8]

Why?

[the Deejay]

Haskell is an entomologist & testified as such. He testified MAINLY as a bug expert & not a mumification expert. That's the difference.

[Spunky]

The golf course was watered = artifical source of water.

I am not sure that the golf course was watered on those days because there was frost on them. If I recalled he said they closed the golf course on those days because of the frost. If people walked on the greens it would break the grass off.

My point was that it appears there was enough moisture naturally, that if Danielle was there on those days, she wouldn't mummify. She would rot. But if her body was left there after those days it was plenty dry to mummify.

He's still talking about bugs, but HE'S NOT an entomologist

Your right, prosecutor still needs to have bug guy testify but this guy will at least give some jurors something to grab on to to convict.

Some of the G-Shock watches also give temperature readings.

[It's me]

Kim, he is not a bug expert. I will take the opinion from the experts. Falkner, who the prosecution called to investigate, and then they didn't use him because Falkner didn't fit into their case. I find that very suspect. Especially since Falkner is used very often by Dusek.

My feed is terrible (live sandiego)...keeps rebuffering..someone have a better connection?

I disagree there is a difference. Both experts, both looking at data without looking at body directly. Haskell may not have considered certain data which would effect his conclusion....

[Freedom2specul8]

K, I got the impression that maybe he didn't find faulkner helpful, not cuz he didn't say what he wanted to hear, but because faulkner didn't have much experience with mummification? What say ye?

[Freedom2specul8]

Mummification where it's not complete, like in danielles case --LOST FEED-- you actually as the body mummifies--lost feed--- the dried skin can help KEEP moisture in the body..the skin can remain in tact or preserved ---lost feed---

[truth_seeker]

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

For what it is worth, Court TV displayed their poll, wherein 90 percent felt Neal's testimony was damaging, to his father.

After hearing about what a hotshot Feldman was/is--I haven't seen much of his supposed brilliance, yet. It could simply be he is doing the best he can, with what he has to work with.

[Freedom2specul8]

if a child was transported from sand diego to dehesa, 24-48 hrs..can it affect mummification LOST FEED it could

[the Deejay]

Well, disagree. I don't care. I'm not going to debate it all bloody day.

[connectthedots]

Golf courses are watered at least every other day, with some posrtions being watered every day, especially if it is DRY!

If the body was mummified, why were there blow flies, which only like 'fresh meat'. A body that had been at the site for up to two weeks prior to attracting blow flies would hardly qualify as fresh.

Dusek and this witness are destroying the prosecutions case even further than it has already been compromised. Feldman is keeping his mouth shut, and probably having a bit of a struggle to keep from smiling from the questions and answers he is hearing. Dusek is digging his own grave with this witness.

[It's me]

faulkner is a bug guy

[Spunky]

This rebuffering is FOR THE BIRDS..

Help! Court TV (I know)is talking Moussaoui now. Are you saying Feldman is rebuffing now?

[Freedom2specul8]

lost feed...if body was transported to a dry environment it could begin the mummifcation process.
