I looked at the evidence quite closely and find some details inconsistent with suicide. Christopher had cyanosis on his face and his gums were inflamed, showing that cyanide had been held in his mouth. However, the stomach and esophagus were normal, indicating he did not swallow much...
The medical examiner & I got into a bit of correspondence. Actually, he did NOT know anything about pharmacology, or even anything about the details of the analytical chemistry. He just trusted the lab blindly. People with fancy titles do not necessarily know anything. Ultimately, the data...
The evidence is in the data. The amounts they found were inconsistent with each other and with cyanide symptoms, just like the other two cases I commented on. Meanwhile, I happen to have first-hand info about the common cyanide assays and know what they cross-react with. You could say I am...
There is an explanation that ought to be considered. The dead ballet dancer had a homosexual tryst with a military man, who immediately regretted it and killed his lover rather than come out. My hypothesis is that the ballet dancer intended to take the other trip, but met a charming man who...
The cyanide was a false positive. He had a heart attack and produced a metabolic artifact called "malondialdehyde" which reacts with the cyanide assay reagents to produce a colored product like in a cyanide reaction. There was no cyanide present at all. I know of six of these cyanide false...
If you look closely at the details of the cyanide levels and the timeline, then it is obvious this is a "false positive" and Robert Ferrante is a wrongfully convicted man. The chemistry of the cyanide assays is almost identical to an assay for thiobarbituric acid (TBARS) which measures a...
