Well, that's unfortunate - that's why I feel strongly that there needs to be independent reviewers of this case (if they can be found at this point). I hope that Mark Fuhrman might be one such. That was my initial point about the ME's report - that he should have allowed other observers in the room to support the credibility of his own report. I think nearly everyone has chosen a corner at this point, however.
I agree that it would have been nice to have had more observers, but I can see how every time such openings were given, they were used to prolong things.
