2011.05.27 TRIAL Day Four (Morning Session)

[Softail]

In his opinion - The smell of decomp is unique. There is a difference between it and garbage!

 

[BuzzieCat]

Mr. Birch's testimony is very interesting, very informative, very good witness. He sort of sounds Australian to me. ??

 

[BiancaS]

Well. ICA oughta like him since he has an Irish accent.

Maybe he has a baby she can adopt for the RV Tour.

What are the odds, we have an expert on the smell of garbage!!!!

 

[ZsaZsa]

What an excellent witness Simon is! He knows what he is talking about and has years of experience to back it up!

 

[grandmaj]

This man is a very good witness.

 

[GracieLu]

love this guy! experience with lots of different odors! sounds very credible! no agenda! his voice is soothing! great witness!

 

[SailorMoon]

Wow.

I did not know he was formerly a waste management supervisor.

This is powerful testimony right now!

He knows the difference between trash/garbage and decomposition odors!

You are correct amundo. As soon as I heard Waste Management - my heart fluttered. Don't know where he's from, he sounds like many soccer coaches I know.

 

[QueenD]

knows difference between garbage and decomp

 

[January.]

And there it is- It was an odor consistent with decomposition.

Yesssss.

 

[smart blonde]

This witness testimony is extremely compelling.

 

[tehcloser]

One question JB might ask is why he didn't call LE when he noticed the odor...........especially since he claims to know exactly what it smells like.

 

[YellowSubmarine]

His first thought was a dead body

 

[whiteangora]

Mr Birch is what I would call a Key Witness!
Excellent testimony.:great:

 

[BigFatMommyDog]

If he knows the smell of decomp, why didn't he do anything? I believe that will be the DT's question to him.

I typed up a wrong answer here and am deleting it!

 

[aiden1]

I am loving this testimony!!!

 

[ExpectingUnicorns]

. . . it was consistent with decomposition. Go, Mr Birch!

 

[Ssejors]

LDB - Having had that varied experience, can you distinquish between the smell of decomposing trash and the smell of decomposing flesh (not exact)


LDB- When you smell that, do you , in your opinion, know the difference(between garbage and decomp)?

SB - Yes maam

 

[Stella5]

When cars are very well sealed, the smells are more minimal, but still there. My reaction was whew! I know what that smells like.

 

[Tulessa]

The car was well sealed!

 

[Softail]

He is saying the car was sealed so it was minimal. Just a car in the yard.
