Thanks for response. BTW, one other question. Am I the only one who thinks 10 days to six weeks is an awfully wide range for amount of time body had been there? I find it difficult to believe that a good forensic pathologist couldn't give a narrower window than that.

I think it depends on the condition of the body, the flora, and insects. Most science is rough estimation or comparison with similar condition plus variables. It's the variables that make it difficult for the more narrow windows. It does seem they should get a narrower time though!

Yes, I don't understand it either. Makes no sense. I wonder if more exculpatory evidence has been withheld.
