Not arguing that. Apparently some want to take this experts opinion and put it on the same level as DNA testing. I don't think that its that exact and if its not that exact one could arive at different conclusions using the same data and still be considered to be giving a valid opinion.

When the other evidence strongly suggests that Danielle was in the MH and their is no reasonable explanation (I don't buy the snuck in to play one for several reasons) and that Danielle has fibers on her that belong to Westerfield, I think the experts testimony contradicts facts and his opinion must be wrong.

While it is true that the level of sophisticated measures for bugs isn't upto the level of DNA, you CAN note the lifespan of those bugs, note the signs of successive generations, and note the signs on the dead body. The lifespan and habits of these bugs can be readily reproduced in a lab and can be observed in the wild. Even assuming these guys are off 50% stills makes it difficult for the prosecution.

Also, as far as the evidence in the MH goes - we know that Brenda and Damon weren't always checking on the kids. An open motor home would be an inviting place to check out for elementary school kids.

IMHO, that is.
