The Bug guy Faulkner mentioned how victims skin was opened by animals, which allowed places for the fly's...etc..

It is a working theory and I saw that someone mentioned coyotes so I wonder if the prosecutor is establishing the foundation for an alternate explanation.

From reading the threads here it seems that the weather in the area was unnussual and not very conducive to fly's developing.

Apparently the last bug guy was asked how he knew the fly's were even developing and i believe the answer was "because they were there".

I am willing to bet that the rebuttal for the late development of the fly's will be that the fly's were suppresed in that area because the the unnussual weather and that they didn't arrive at the body until they were carried there by animals.

The evidence of the animals was established or will be resestablished by calling back the witness who was on the scene.

The presence of a coyote will establish that the range is 10-12 miles and that it probably takes coyote's up to a certain number of days to survey their territory. So, the jury will be given a way to accept that the bug guy testimony is true as to the number of days the bugs were present but not as to the start date.

Unusually Dry---

Check this out--

Late last night when I was reading Det. Tomsovic's Test. of June 19th---Morning 1 He talking about conditions at the site--

Q: And in your investigation I believe you determined that the last precipitation in that area was on February 17 of 2002.
A: Based on Meteorological Records, Yes.
Q: What did you mean to communicate by the last Precipitation?
A: Rain, Heavy Dew, anything that could have altered the scene due to weather activity.

Now this bug guy Haskell, talked about fly colonization between 14-21. Says "impossible" for body to be there before the 13th. Later, Haskell and Dusek argue over unusually dry conditions, etc.
Well, Thomsovic's statement says that -It was very wet on the 17th...and here he was on the (27)?? concerned that "rain/or/moisture" would alter the crime scene.
