He just got the wrong answer, and probably stuck with it with it, against a lot of pressure.Yep.....the defense couldn't have asked for anything better, IMO.
The prosecution couldn't attack his credibility and Feldman made a big impression in establishing how Faulkner came to be invloved in the case.

Will a week be long enough for the prosecution to come up with some "new" evidence against Westerfield? No doubt they'll try...

You betcha! In so many words, he pointed out Dusek didn't want Faulkner's expert testimony. I JUST LOVED IT!!

Also Dusek wasn't yelling at this witness, didn't make him cry, wasn't being snide, he was totally respectful and didn't try to damage his credibility in any way. This should help the Defense.

This is a by memory account of that testimony.
Feldman to witness: "So taking account of all the incects you collected, weather variables, and all knowlege you hold with regards to previous cases, papers and journals you have written you belive the PMI couldn't have been any earlier than 16th/18th of Feb.?"
Witness: "That is correct."
Feldman: "Your findings contradicted the DA's though?" DA:"objection
Judge: sustained"
Feldman: (something to the effect of)"How did your findings differ?
Witness: "They're (DA's) times for PMI were to early evidenced by larve on the body."
SWEET!
