First, CYN, nice comment. Your literary skills are admirable.
SECOND- Although those of us that believe DW is NOT GUILTY think FELDMAN won that one, and those that think DW is GUILTY think DUSEK won, the truth is that NEITHER WON.
[I was attempting to transcibe the testimony, and do so in a neutral manner. I.E. not making judgments, just trying to listen, summarize and write it down. Funny how that can change your perspective. Especially when you don't stop after you hear what you want, then ignore the rest.]
Depending on your viewpoint, and what other evidence you think is important or has been proven true, you could have taken this battle either way.
Feldman had the bug guy establish the body was THERE NO LATER than the 16th, and that due to lack of Beetle Larvae, MOST LIKELY could not have been there longer than that.
DUSEK established that the body could have been there BEFORE the 16th due to a margin of error, and that margin got pretty wide due to factors like unusual weather, lack of rain.
Other factors could counter it.
DUSEK introduced but did not prove that other factors (like the body being contained) could affect the timing determination.
IT really all depends on how the JURY perceived it. Doesn't matter what we know or see or think.
Just like the FIBER evidence, there was a lot of COULD,SIMILAR,LIKE, that to us meant they HAD NO ABSOLUTE PROOF.
Well, the bug guy stated his specialty was the FLY infestation.
The beetle grubs (the lack of them) was a factor to him, in that he didn't know why they weren't there, and couldn't explain it. THAT IS NOT PROOF EITHER.
So before we all go open a bottle of champagne and start celebrating, remember; IT STILL BOILS DOWN to what the JURY thinks MEANS SOMETHING.
Thank you.
