IMO, KC had to have been administering chloroform over a period of time - long enough to allow the chemical to show itself not only in the hair follicle, but the hair growth. The experts can even tell the approximate length of time the chemical was being given according to the amount of hair growth that shows chloroform AND in what concentrations at various stages. These tests have long been proven to be accurate.
Baden went on to say that drugs found in one's hair is NOT relevant to a COD inquiry but IS relevant to show a history of use of a drug. If chloroform was found in Caylee's hair it will point to a history of it being used on her. This would be very damning for the defense.
Did Dr. Baden mentioned his opinion if test results were irrelevant like Dr. Perper said?
IIRC, toxicology reports weren't back at the time of the ME's presser. The ME did say that toxicology on the hair wouldn't likely be helpful to show COD. Probably because it will show a history of use only. She would not be able to make the jump to this being the cause of death. IMO, that would be the prosecution's job at trial.Not trying to be argumentative at all...
But, wouldn't the ME's report have indicated something regarding chloroform as likely COD if this information was truly available via forensics on the hair???
I understand "in" the hair would mean peri-mortem...so...a technicality?
I'm just sayin'...
I didn't watch the show, but did watch the clip that was posted. Assuming Geraldo (and NG) already knows the answers to questions he asks, I think G had talked to DrP before broadcast and was set to show the world that he was going to help the Casey defense. When he asked the question to prove that the hair analysis didn't matter, he already knew the answer DrP would give. So, with the next question (do you mean-are you saying?) he added Caylee's name in it thinking that DrP would say it was the same with KC case also, but DrP actually broke the case wide open. It backfired on G and I'll bet he's in hot water now with JB.
I posted about this last night in the rumor thread, since it came from Dr Baden's mouth, I am very suspicious due to his other remarks about this case thus far.
To help stay on-topic for this thread raying: ...and for easier reference later...in-depth discussion of chloroform is here.
Dr. Baden on Geraldo mentioning Cholorform in Caylee's Hair ....
