I'm unimpressed with the refutations. You think the defendants would have him as a defense expert, if his book was fatally flawed?

I'm not impressed with your answer. Be more specific; how are the refutations wrong?
"You think the defendants would have him as a defense expert, if his book was fatally flawed?"
Yes. They haven't shown they are particularly bright.
Seeing as it's a fatally flawed defense - YES.
Then you clearly don't understand them.

Sure, since court arguments are based on what *sounds* good (i.e., what can sway the jury), not on what might actually be valid, true, or logically correct.
Remember "if the glove does not fit, you must acquit", and countless other courtroom ploys that were used (and worked) despite their flaws which would have been obvious to anyone who took the time to actually think about them?
